REFEREE REACHES KNOCKOUT STAGE
A BOSNIAN referee may be banned for a year after he knocked out a player who disagreed with a decision. Dusko Pekija was officiating at a derby between Sarajevo and FC Zeljeznicar when Sarajevo players, unhappy at not being awarded a penalty kick, attacked him.
Pekija hit Samir Saric, knocking out the player for several minutes. Both player and referee could be banned for a year, a Bosnian FA official said yesterday. The Bosnian Cup match was halted after the incident, with FC Zeljeznicar leading 1-0.
