Tunisia Fined $50,000, referee suspended after chaotic end to AFCON match
A referee making a poor call that helps ruin your tournament doesn’t give a team the right to reign chaos down on a stadium.
''Furious Tunisian players were guilty of insulting and
trying to assault the referee after the game, CAF said, but none of the
players were named or punished, according to the statement late Tuesday.
…
Along with the $50,000 fine, CAF ordered the
Tunisian federation to send a letter of apology by the end of Thursday
for suggesting the referee’s decision was part of intentional bias on
CAF’s part against Tunisia. If the Tunisians did not apologize, CAF
said, they could be thrown out of the next African Cup of Nations
tournament in 2017.''
Am so glad that this referee has now been brought to book for that bad intention of his.
That's Lagos for you
