Tunisia fined $50,000, referee suspended after chaotic end to AFCON

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.
