That is called, using ur brains if not I don't think d Algerians would have allowed that ref to leave the pitch but thank God it wasn't a do or die game.

Are Senators, Members of House of Representatives, Governors entitled to a Nigerian Diplomatic Passport? I need an answer. A good and detailed answer.

Ref Eric-otogo should be banished from Africa!!!! or should be dropped in bamuda triangle

Lucky him that it wasn't a world cup decider. He would have seen his career in the balance

But the yeye ref forgot that Brahimi's headbutt intent should have been an outright red card instead he opted to keep the balance of the game and thought it wise to award the soft penalty.
This guy should be sanctioned!

Na dis kind thing the make me the cause riot for school.!!!

That decision was dubious to say the least.

He will also experience the same thing in his career I not, unless he sends his apology to everyone on Nairaland

When did football suddenly become rugby?

it doesn't matter as long as Nigeria has qualified

Algeria vs Nigeria: Why I awarded penalty against Super Eagles – Referee, Eric Otogo-Castane



Referee Eric Otogo-Castane of Gabon has provided explanation to the controversial penalty he awarded Algeria against Nigeria during last game of the group B World Cup qualifier in Constantine.

Algeria forced Nigeria to a 1-1 draw, thanks to a late penalty awarded to the Fennecs when Shehu Abdullahi was adjudged to have fouled Algerian winger Yacine Brahaimi in the box, a decision that shocked most football fans.

Replays showed the defender didn’t do much to warrant a penalty to be awarded against him, but referee Otogo-Castane explained to some Nigerian officials that his decision was right.

“Expectedly we asked questions after the game and the referee explained to us that the decision was taken based on a newly introduced law into the game, which allows for intention to be punished”, the NFF board member told Owngoalnigeria.com.

“He interpreted Shehu’s intention to impede the man, who stayed on his feet instead of going down from the tackle. The fact that the Algerian attacker Brahaimi didn’t go down is what made the decision to look like the wrong call according to him.

“Let’s be frank, he did his best considering the atmosphere he was under and especially after turning down numerous attempt by the Algerians to con him into giving them a penalty.


“Maybe Brahaimi should have been sent off before the incident which led to the goal, but I guess he didn’t want to lose grip of the match, which a red card to the Algerian captain would have triggered. It’s called game management and we understand his explanation.”

Even CAF official website called it a soft penalty, so what new rule was he referring to?

They are not entitled to diplomatic passports, under relevant international laws and protocols.

The only people who are entitled to such are the president, Vice President, Ministers (and deputy) of Foreign affairs, and maybe the heads of each legislative house.

In the history of our world cup qualifiers and world cup its always been one conspiracy or the other. I can never forget the one Onazi was stretched off the pitch from broken leg. That should have been a red card but the guy was given yellow.
Racism is still alive in football

I hope you know the meaning of racist, don't just throw words around.

To my own view, that is a penalty because the Nigerian player committed what we call diving in football

Na to arrange friendlies with Algeria come invite this referee Eric Otogo to officiate for Lagos this year, make him see for himself. Silly ref

I don't get, is the referee white or the opponent? Tackle the referee that made the blunder and leave racism out of it, it's a victim mentality.
