PLDC - Due to a lack of coordination, the match between Persepolis of Tehran and Machin Sazi of Tabriz was not broadcast live on television and this brought many unexpected complaints, many of which were received by The 
Iranian Professional League Organization (PLO).

In defense of the PLO, Ali Reza Kord, its Public Relations Officer, said, "First of all it is not my responsibility to send IRIB (Iranian television company) the schedules of the games but I personally informed Famili, producer of sports programs at IRIB, of the scheduled programs five days ago. Unfortunately the fax machine of channel three was not in operation and the lady who is there as secretary is not an altogether polite and responsible person."

"I am from television myself and I know that the producers of programs must follow up current events. Even if I am to blame, should a live program with millions of viewers be interrupted or missed because of one person? Shouldn't the IRIB introduce a representative who can follow up things? Channel three is not a data base and we cannot feed it all the information we have."

"The problem is from their side and I am only defending myself when I say these things."
