Kuwait, referee Saad Al Fadhli defends self with punch, kick and an assortment of yellow and red cards.
No word on whether he survived to referee again.
I suspect he might be in hiding for his own good.

Excessive?
Probably, but a case might be made it was necessary.
If necessary, should the match have continued?
It is hard to say what went on previous to the PK awarded... my guess the game was intense and other things happened, the heat of the game might have been high to get this type of reaction. The referee has got to keep his cool and self under control.. his fate may not be good.
ReplyDeleteGood points. It woul dbe interesting to see theprevious action in the match for background leading up to the PK and subsequent events. Punching and kicking players is certainly inappropriate behavior on anyone's part and especially a referee. There will surely be repercussions for referee on a professional level and possibly on a personal level given the part of the world this occurred in. There should also be consequences for the players involved.
