Kouyate and Sakho caught up in match fixing scandal

|

SakKouyateCheikhou Kouyate and striker Diafra Sakho could play in a World Cup qualifier replay in November after FIFA ordered Senegal’s result with South Africa should be scrapped.

The qualifier will be played again after the referee, Joseph Lamptey was found guilty of match-fixing in a game which saw South Africa win 2-1 last November. Lamptey has now been banned for life by FIFA.

The match was surrounded by controversy after the Ghanaian official incorrectly awarded a penalty for handball to South Africa but video replays clearly showed that the ball actually struck the defender’s knee.

The Senegal Football Federation complained to FIFA and as a result, the match will be replayed in November, on a date set aside for an international break.

  • Radai Lama says:

    Is it? I thought i read the same about a rematch on Sky because of the bent ref.
    Oh well if you say so,im too busy to investigate 😀

  • whufc board out says:

    Well what you call it then?
    Comes up on newsnow and the headline is totally misleading putting the assumption that sakho and kouyate have done something wrong. click on the link and it only involves them on a minimal level.
    That pretty much is click bait isn’t it? or do you want to call me a sad **** again?

  • RickinJHB says:

    I agree WHUFC Board out, very misleading headline make them look like they were involved.. Apparently if your not a regular here then we all sad losers, sad comment Rads.

  • Roytheboy says:

    Yep totally misleading. More to do with the ref than the two players mentioned.

  • Radai Lama says:

    Wtf are you on about Rick & Board Out,i never called anyone sad whatevers ffs.
    The only sad comment is yours Rick for accusing me of something i never even f*cking said 😬
    Anyway how much did it cost you too click,how much time did it steal from your life,maybe 15 secs.
    Ffs if you can get the hump over a bit of click bait you need counseling.
    I dont give a shyt who uses this place,the more the merrier but dont accuse me of something i never bloody said or i will ram my trowel straight up your aris 😁

    • whufc board out says:

      Radal, that wasn’t too you, there was someone called Travis who posted who was being highly obnoxious and using obscenities for no reason. Guessing he removed his post before you saw my reply

  • Macca says:

  • MerryMichaelW says:

    Sean, please. In the current circumstances, we DO NOT need headlines like this.

    Even if the story had any basis.

  • RickinJHB says:

    Ha ha Rads dont waste agodd trowel mate, however my humble apologies, cant find the post now that I was refering to maybe it was someone else, I think need to use me glasses more often FFS

    • Radai Lama says:

      Lol no worries Rick,i just couldnt understand why i was getting ear’ole when i never mentioned anyone being sad.All good mate 😁
      My original comment was a misunderstanding.I though board out was on about the whole article not just the headline.So i wasnt defending any headline or clickbait 😀
      I shall put my trowel to bed for the night 😁

  • Noble Warrior says:

    I have never got my head around folk who only post to have a go at a west ham news site.They support the same team as the authors/owners so why abuse a fellow supporter who tries to bring you news.
    I dont think i will ever understand the point of it but hey ho.
