The world football governing body, FIFA has banned Ghanaian referee, Joseph Odartei Lamptey for life. The ban, FIFA says keeps Lamptey away from taking part in any kind of football-related activity (administrative, sports or any other) at national and international level for life.

According to FIFA, he was found guilty of breaching art. 69 par. 1 (unlawfully influencing match results) of the FIFA Disciplinary Code during the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia qualifying match between South Africa and Senegal on November 12, 2016

However, all charges against another Ghanaian match official, David Lionheart Nii Lartey Laryea, whose behaviour had also been the subject of investigations, were dismissed by the FIFA Disciplinary Committe, the organisation said in a statement copied to Ghana business news.com.

TBH, I had the same question. I saw the penalty and it was an atrocious call but it had to be more than that. I have seen bizarre calls by referees beyond the pk call by the guy. This is why I believe that it goes beyond that pk call but it will take watching the entire video which is on youtube. I have not done that yet.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has issued a life suspension of football activity to Gambian referee Pa Abdou Sarr for taking bribe, the pan-African football body said Thursday.

The CAF disciplinary board, at a meeting held July 4, found Sarr guilty for collecting bribe during the game between Togo and Tunisia at the African Under-17 Championship held March in Togo and he has been banned for life to participate in any football related activity, said CAF on its website.

The disciplinary board also found guilty of Avlessi Tata de Mass, President of Togo Football Association, for bribing the match official. Avlessi has been handed eight years ban to participate in any football related activity.

Attivi Atevi Cessi, played as a link man, has also been found guilty and has been banned for four years to take part in any football related activity.

"It has been proved that Avlessi provided the money to Attivi to pass it on to the referee," said the CAF, without providing further details.

He's a breda. What more do you want? That is more than enough in any Naija man's book. He's guilty by half

I actually believe it is not just this game. Perhaps they have a lot more than we think.

I agree with you, bro. We don't need bredas anywhere near serious football.
