Bulgarian Football Union (BFU) has suspended controversial referee Hristo Ristoskov from officiating matches after 'committing many mistakes' during CSKA Sofia's 2-1 Buglarian Cup victory at Ludogorets on Wednesday, an official of BFU disclosed.
BFU refereeing commission chief Nikola Dzhuganski told local media: 'He'll be suspended and you'll not see him officiating a game for a long time. He committed many mistakes.
CSKA said Hristoskov failed to award two penalties and committed a number of other errors during the Cup match in Razgrad.
The 31-times Bulgarian champions protested against 'the extremely biased refereeing' and told the BFU not to appoint Ristoskov for any of their games henceforth.
CSKA captain Ivan Bandalovski said: 'I've never seen such a refereeing, it's not normal. My desire to play football disappears after matches like this.
'You must be blind or crazy to not see what's going on.'
Former UEFA referee Ristoskov, 41, was beaten up by three masked men outside his home a couple of weeks after officiating the 'eternal derby' between Levski Sofia and CSKA in 2006.
In 2008, he was banned by the BFU for committing errors in a domestic game and went to Austria to officiate in the lower divisions.
Last year, Ristoskov said he was offered $100,000 to help fix a UEFA Cup game between Azerbaijan's Neftchi Baku and Austria's SV Ried in 2007. He said he rejected the offer immediately.
