FK Euromilk GL reacts to Furkan Idrizi's refereeing after 0:0 with Novaci
The Skopje club says two clear penalties were missed and urges President Masar Omeragić to take concrete steps.
FK Euromilk GL issued a public reaction after their 0:0 draw with Novaci in Round 8 of the Macedonian Second Football League on October 17, 2026, complaining about the referee's performance.
Club says two clear penalties were missed
The Skopje-based second-tier side publicly criticised the officiating of referee Furkan Idrizi, saying the team was denied two clear penalty decisions during the match. The club called the calls "serious refereeing failures" and demanded accountability.
In a statement posted on social media the club addressed Josip Barton directly and appealed to football leadership to take action. The message said the team invests effort and resources on the pitch and should not lose the opportunity to compete on equal terms because of refereeing choices.
Translated quote from the club's message: "JOSIP BARTON, ENOUGH! When in a single match we are wronged for two clear penalties, then there is no longer room to call it coincidence, but rather serious refereeing failures! We fight on the pitch, invest effort and resources, and someone with such decisions takes away our chance to fairly compete for points. We demand accountability, professionalism and equal standards for all! Football is played on the field, not decided by the whistle! PRESIDENT MASAR OMERAGIĆ, IT IS TIME FOR CONCRETE STEPS!
"We greet you publicly and expect that finally serious measures will be taken regarding the situation in Macedonian football and the refereeing that increasingly provokes outrage among clubs.
"When controversial decisions occur in a match and clubs believe they were deprived of two penalties, then there must be a reaction, analysis and responsibility.
"We do not seek privileges, we do not seek help — we seek justice, equal criteria and fair conditions for all!
"Mr Omeragić, clubs deserve to be heard. It is time for words to be turned into deeds, and for trust in Macedonian football to be restored!
"FAIR FOOTBALL FOR ALL!
"Attached is a video of the disputed moment and if you continue to deny it we will publicly publish several past matches as well
Sporting regards from FK Euromilk"
The club also announced it would publish video evidence of the incidents. The match finished 0:0 and leaves both sides with dropped points in the early phase of the league season.
