BREAKING NEWS: Egyptian referee Grisha Ghead to be expelled from Afcon
The official has come under intense scrutiny for his penalty call against Nigeria in Friday’s game against Zambia which ended in a draw

Zambia vs Nigeria: Referee Grisha Ghead
Egyptian referee Grisha Ghead, who officiated the controversial second Group C match between defending champions Zambia and Nigeria on Friday, may be dismissed from the Africa Nations Cup by the Confederation of Africa Football (Caf) as a result of poor officiating, Goal.com has learnt.
Ghead gave Zambia a controversial penalty late in the game which ensured that the match ended 1-1. The Nigeria Football Federation lodged a complaint with Caf after the match.
Goal.com learnt that Caf president Issa Hayatou assured Nigeria’s minister of sport Bolaji Abdullahi that prompt action has been taken against the referee and that the official will be sent home.
Caf is yet to react officially.
The last Group C matches are now expected to generate great concern to Caf as they have prepared to monitor the two matches alongside the other groups to forestall a repeat of such scandalous mistakes and biasesas alleged by the NFF.

I disagree with him being expelled because he erred and did not do it intentionally. Referees are humans and are bound to make mistakes.

are players not also humans but get punished when they make a bad tackle in an attempt to win a ball. ref makes a bad decisions, should get punished or his decision should be reversed (well not possible).

If you score 3 goals, would it matter if they 'cheat' you with one PK?

If the Super Chickens want my support, they should play entertaining football like the Ivorians. tongue
