Turkish Referee 'Won't Forgive' Attacker as Controversy Continues in Resumed Super Lig

Following a week-long suspension due to an attack on a referee, Turkey's Super Lig resumes amidst further controversy as Istanbulspor's president withdraws team from pitch in protest.

Turkish referee Halil Umut Meler says he will 'not forgive' MKE Ankaragucu president Faruk Koca for punching him in the face at the end of a Super Lig match.
Koca was given a permanent ban by the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) and Ankaragucu were fined two million lira (£54,000) and ordered to play five home games without any fans.
Koca later resigned as club president and apologised for his actions, expressing 'great embarrassment' for the 'grave incident' he caused.
The incident led to the suspension of all leagues by the TFF, which resumed on Tuesday.
However, another controversy arose when Istanbulspor's president withdrew his team from the pitch in protest at a refereeing decision in their game against Trabzonspor.
