Club threatens to field juniors to protest refs

10 April 2012 /REUTERS

Bulgarian club Minyor Pernik have threatened to field their junior team and wear black ribbons in a league match next week in protest at alleged bias by referees against them.

Minyor, ninth in the standings, said in a statement referees Ahmed Ahmed and Stoyan Denev, who were in charge of their recent visits to champions Litex Lovech, should be banned for life. Ahmed officiated Minyor’s 2-0 loss in the Bulgarian Cup quarte-finals last month while Denev refereed the 2-2 draw in the league on Saturday with Litex equalising in injury time after a dubious penalty.
