Club owner threatens to shoot referee

Ivan Savvidis, owner of Greek club PAOK Salonika, walked on to the field and attempted to confront the referee on Sunday evening when his side met AEK Athens.

The incident was sparked by a goal from Fernando Varela, which was ruled offside after it was initially given as a goal.

Savvidis is reported to have said: “You’re dead!” to the referee.

Officials decided to call off the game after he was suspended temporarily.
