Scandal in handball: BHC protests against mysterious phantom goal!
One-handed ball games can be as exciting as a crime thriller, and this also includes the recent incident in the league between HG Remscheid and the 2nd team of Bergischer HC. After a narrow 25:25 draw, the BHC lodged a protest; The reason for this is a controversial goal, better known asPhantom Gate. In the sixth minute, Dominik Hertz from HG Remscheid scored a goal that was initially recognized and then disallowed, which caused a lot of excitement. The referees Marcel Bierkamp and Till-Moritz Knoblauch were described by some as overwhelmed and gave the impression that they had disadvantaged both teams, as rga.de reported.
BHC II coach Lars Halfmann called for the game to be replayed if the objection was upheld. “There's something going on,” he noted, and the crowd, numbering more than 250, felt like they were witnessing a dramatic game. HGR coach Fabian Schächt was proud of his team's performance, while goalkeeper Tobias Geske scored the important 24:24 equalizer with a strong performance. Nevertheless, the HG Remscheid team was not immune to challenges, as they continued to fight despite two red cards against Nikias Brewing and Dominik Hertz.
New challenges for the BHC
But the Bergische HC currently has other worries. The club is in the middle of a licensing dispute and is threatened with relegation to the 2nd Bundesliga. The BHC announced an arbitration claim against the HBL regarding the licensing of HSV Hamburg. According to [ndr.de](https://www.ndr.de/sport/handball/ License Streit-um-HSV-Hamburg-Bergischer-HC-kuendigt-igene-Klage-an,hsvhamburg808.html), the BHC argues that HSV violated financial rules, which should have revoked its license. This decision was overturned by an arbitration tribunal and HSV was allowed to play this season, which displeased the BHC as it struggles with 17th place and the threat of relegation.
The last word has not yet been spoken. On the crucial final match days, if the legal disputes are decided in its favor, the BHC could perhaps overtake HC Erlangen and thus avert relegation.
Violations of the rules in handball?
But it is not only in these games that there is confusion. There was also a rules scandal in the second division game between GWD Minden and Dessau-Rosslauer HV when a goal was not included in the statistics. Referee Konrad Gimmler had signaled the goal, but it was subsequently disallowed - an incident that heated up people's tempers sportbild.de reported. Such events cast a dull light on the performance of referees and confirm the need to continually work on the quality of refereeing.
The lack of clarity in the application of the rules causes discontent among fans and athletes alike. The debates will certainly continue to cause a stir in the handball world in the coming weeks. Stay tuned, it remains exciting!
