One of the odder stories in recent days comes from Senegal where a referee stopped a game to break his Ramadan fast.
The game between Casa Sport and Yeggo was half-an-hour old when referee Ousseynou Gueye suspended play so his officials could have a drink and eat on the side of the pitch. Despite being heckled by spectators, Gueye finished his snack before resuming.
"Legally, it is not possible to stop a match to break the fast," he said afterwards. "But you can enjoy a break in the game to meet a health need. The human body needs water."

ReplyDeleteThis is totally unacceptable. He should be banned indefinitely from officiating matches. if he knew he wold need to break fast why didn't he inform the organizers of the match to allow someone else to officiate? so he wants to tell me that if a Dr. was operating on him he would be happy for the Dr to leave him to go and break fast so that he dies? And is the federation saying there was no assistant Ref to continue the match? This is why Africans hadly officiate international matches.

Rubbish! Na by force. Must you fast? Why must you force yourself to fast when you know you cant joke with your bell?. Didnt you eat in d morning? So dat d whole word would know you are fasting. Rubbish! Na only in Africa this can happen.
