CAF should revisit the VAR red card

[1naija]

Iwobi's red card was hard for me to take and still is. While i agree it was a foul, i think a red card was unfair. CAF needs to consider including intent in the interpretation for a red card like they do in the NBA with flagrant 1 and flagrant 2 fouls. Iwobi clearly did not intend to step on the Tunisian player's foot. It sad that a game of such magnitude was decided on such call.

I just realized Iwobi will miss the double header against Ghana.

More the reason to call Ejaria and Lookman. Clowns who think they are not needed.

1naija,

Referee no be mind reader oooo. How exactly will he/she determine intent? I think such a tackler, intended or not, has possibility of causing harm and that by its own should lead to disqualification.

It hurts but the reality is that these officials need to act on such tackles, intended or not. What hurts in my view are the non-call/non-VCR examination of two ball handling episodes in the Tunisian box in that opening half.
