Imankhan Sultani appeals AFFA of Neftchi vice-president Ramin Musayev

Former FIFA referee Imankhan Sultani has appealed to the AFFA of Neftchi vice-president Ramin Musayev, Sultani told APA-Sport.
The referee stated in his letter that Musayev acted unethically after national cup semi-final second leg between Neftchi and MKT-Araz.
â€œI noted in the letter that Musayev acted unethically and was rough against me after the matchâ€, he said.
Sultani said such behaviour shows that Neftchi vice-president cannot face a defeat.
â€œHe might have expressed his protest in civil norm but Musayev entered refereesâ€™ room and acted very roughly. I think, he cannot stand the defeatâ€, he said.
44-year-old referee refuted rumors that he assisted MKT-Araz in the match against Neftchi.
â€œThe rumours that I help MKT-Araz to qualify for final round are groundless. Why to blame a referee if Neftchi footballer cannot score goal in 2-meter distance?â€, he said.
AFFA Disciplinary Committee will consider the issue in next meeting. He is the highest fined club official in Azerbaijan. AFFA imposed AZM100mln fine (AZN20 000) on him in 2005. /APA-Sport/
