	MESSAGE FROM MARK TO THE READERS
	It has been brought to my attention while I am being praised for my reports, I am also
	getting criticism. At all times I try to judge both teams and officials fairly. However my
	opinions are not enjoyed by everyone. I am only human and see what I see. This at some
	stage will offend supporters of all teams when a decision I think is right by the referee
	goes against their team.
	I do value peoples comments. They only can improve my reports when I get feedback from you
	the readers. I am not against any team but I judge them purely and simply on the
	performance on the day.
	I try my best and well if its not good enough then I would like to know. Being accused of
	treating GÖZTEPE as an ordinary team was unfair as I have judged their play on the day, and
	nothing more whether or not I like them is irrelevant.
	Finally, if I do however upset a certain set of fans, I can only apologize for my actions.
	But remember your feedback is important and strength will only be built on them.
