I think I’ve said what happened here. FIFA officials misreported Mokoena as eligible.

That’s why SA played him. SA played him under the assumption that he was eligible because FIFA didn’t mark him ineligible as they usually did.

I Dey talk am before say na 50:50 but una choose to believe the one una like. Person say na after final round. Like does that even make any sense?

mank1234:
Your comparison is on wrong premise.
The referee interprets and applies the rules you referred to on the field and his decision is final. Disciplinary issues (yellow and red card) are sometimes reviewed.

Disciplinary issues off the field as in this case is handled by FIFA and they apply the rules. If they decide to avoid it as in this case it's a totally different situation.

They may be attempt to sweep it under the carpet, hence the 'no-mention' of it in any of their report. However, takenote that RSA responded to FIFA on this issue and the outcome from FIFA is supposed to be public knowledge - for or against (at least communicated to RSA.

Tessyy1701:
Still doesn't change the rule. If that's the issue FIFA should apologize to SA.

Life is not 2+2 walahi

JohnBullMySon:
First of all, As at the last time RSA officials spoke on this issue they mentioned that FIFA was yet to demand any response from them. Note that Naija blogs have been reporting a lot of fake rubbish on this issue.

What I said earlier is simple. No player or team is ever punished for errors caused by incorrect officiating/administration. Finito. Doesn’t matter if it’s on or off the pitch. If FIFA had cleared the squad in official communication, as SA claims, then points would not be deducted.

BankyGee:
Galatasaray's Champions League Squad List submitted to UEFA!

Victor Osimhen leads the charge! 🦁

Bro, I just need two clarifications from you.

1. Where was it said that FIFA communicated to RSA that the player been discussed is eligible? A link or a legit source will be appreciated.

2. In reference to (1), are you saying Rohr/NFF deliberately played Shehu even after FIFA already communicated his ineligibility? Or let's assume that FIFA made a mistake by saying he was eligible when he is not, why then were we punished for the offence?

JohnBullMySon:
1. Can’t trace the link now. Will try when I have time.

2. It has been discussed severally here what led to Shehu’s case. The guy it was communicated to didn’t pass it on.

Samueltemi337:
They should have signed Osimhen as backup to Kane?

Odunayaw:
Doesn't have to be back up. Kane is 32, how many more seasons can he give them

realpoacher:
Why are you trying to make excuses for FIFA and SA.?

The rule is written very clearly in black and white.

The rule never said anything about FIFA needing to notify the country before the rule can stand.

I didn't even see anywhere in FIFA articles about 24hrs complaints either.

FIFA needs to deduct that point and they need to do it now

Meliforme:
Osimhen was the difference maker, not Eric Chelle.

Ah, Luku ti yokun o.

As per say na Charlesemeka go play striker or na Bankygee go mount goalpost?

Let the players focus on the games and leave discussions for us.

Samueltemi337:
We will win them 4 nil tho

JohnBullMySon:
That’s not how FIFA rules are applied. For example FIFA rules are very clear on what constitutes a goal. But when the referee makes an error, does the goal get cancelled afterwards ? Even when it is technically not a goal. Today we have VAR to assist the referee but if he doesn’t change his mind, nothing will happen.

Usually, when an error has been determined to be from officiating, the result will stand regardless of what any rule states.

QueenJazz:
Oga we've not lost any game under Eric Chelle with our main squad. At least give the benefit of doubt.

It's your kind of negative thinking that stagnates our football. Sacking coaches every 3 market days.
