hahahahahahah...i love this man. FIFA where are u now?

Why this garri dey sour like this na?

chimmy_2: 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."

Wonders shall never end...

potentials: if at al dz actually hapnd,den d dude nids to b sacked wif immidiate effect,nOnSeNsE!

Islam teaches its followers to fast reluctantly and break the fast eagerly!duh!next time..ask questions before u make ill-comments...

naptu2: He is actually right. FIFA allows you to have a break for health reasons (remember the water breaks in the heat of USA 94?).

hmmmm.... really?

am a xtian and am in support of what he did cos as a sport u needed water at some point good ref carry go jor

Itz only in countries lyk senegal that can hapun!...no refree wil try dat in any developed country's league...smh

Wow. I like him.

I will do same in his situation.

Muslim first, that is what he showed. No compromise.

And he found a part of the law to support what he did. That is Smart.

*********
My younger bro was going to take part in a national sports event. The organisers were told, if you put it in Ramadan, we will not participate. The timing was made to suit them. That is what a Muslim does.

Islam dominates, anywhere, anytime.

Interesting!
Proudly a Muslim anywhere*

Stop a match to say What's up to Mohammed....dats cool

mankind80: Itz only in countries lyk senegal that can hapun!...no refree wil try dat in any developed country's league...smh

That exactly this hasnt happened doesnt mean it can not.

Hakeem Olajuwon(hope i am right) was provided a mosque beside his training facility.

So many changes have been made to suit the Muslims in international leagues.


Read this link for a synopsis how Muslims are changing the premier league

Make him n0 eat neh? Mak una free d chairman 0o jareh

I am sorry to say but Muslims are a bunch of hippocrate.
When I was serving in Nassarawa, I entered a Bus from Lafia-their capital city to Nassarawa Eggon. All of a sudden the bus just stopped. Only to see the driver leaving the bus without any apology. The only explanation I got was that it is time to pray.You wander that kind of place would be heaven on earth as them they communicate with God. The most currupt set of person I've seen in my life are in Nassarawa Eggon Local Goverment Secretariat. Their corrupt head dubbling as chairman refused to pay our allowances even threatening us saying 'do your worse'.
It is pathetic to us as a Nation very religious and Corrupt.
Go to Lagos-Ibadan this weekend and confirm my saying. Same set of rough drivers that would curse themselves would drive into that place of worship.
Same religious persons marry underage.....Nassarawa has one of the highest HIV incidence rate and sexual roforofo in Nigeria.

fallacy

I hope they shared for everybody for stadium sha...

spongeback: Ref go try am for brazil

lol....make them give im limbs Premium packaging.

Last to comment sa!!!

The match was already 30 mins old, why didn't he just wait till half time, Instead of breaking the laws of the game?

He has shown dedication and total submission to the will of almighty ALLAH,and his piety is an exemplary one worthy of commendation and emulation.May ALLAH accept our Ibaadah. Happy Iedel Fitri in advance.

ana m anu? jangle the bells for he has broken a great record.rubbish.fasting publicist.such doesn't appeal to God. all agbero in my neighborhood are fasting too and they dont waste time to let anyone know they are fasting. "I de fast nah " Dat act is a mockery to the almighty God.

The Senegalese fans who were shouting at him to continue the match are also Muslims. This ref is just an extremist! A terrorist in the making. Some Muslim medical doctors have left their good jobs in the past to become suicide bombers,watch this referee!

Imagine say I be striker, I wan score goal for very tough match, our last chance for the game of 0:0...
...But I pause, kneel down begin pray "Angelus" because I b catholic and its 6pm!!!

Kollins12: He has shown dedication and total submission to the will of almighty ALLAH,and his piety is an exemplary one worthy of commendation and emulation.May ALLAH accept our Ibaadah. Happy Iedel Fitri in advance.

Le him leave the job and fast at home.

Imagine if this happens in a champions league final match

xykms101: Religious bigots.


...Why did you have to fast when you have a match to officiate?

Wow!
So he should refuse to observe his fast because of some useless satan head that will be kicked around the pit?

Games are stopped or delayed as long as possible because of injuries. Kini Big deal. 60 secs is enough for the Ref to take a bottle of water.

Show o !
The Referee really made a good use of his "Common Sense "

May be it was not really for a show, it could be on health conditions,
And since there's not yet an international specified regulations on it, he would not be judged.c.

I think now that it has become an incidence and had it been it was in Nigeria FIFA would consider a regulation for it..

fasting doesn't mean u leave d normal activities dat u do. and moreover if he know dat is nt officially allowed 4 him 2 suspend d match he wont
