Ban Jamaican referee for life

FIFA, the international governing body of football, must be made to understand that teams should not suffer because of officiating errors as happened to TT last Tuesday in the World Cup qualifier against Mexico.

Like is done in cricket, FIFA must give teams the benefit of instant appeals — via TV video replays — adjudicated by the fourth official.

Spectators, FIFA depends heavily on your support, so let your voices be heard.

It may seem improbable what I suggest, but the longest journey begins with one footstep. An avalanche begins with one snowflake.

And remember David slew Goliath.

So let’s take the fight to FIFA and protest, and go viral with it.

Let’s move this mountain of injustice.

We can do it.

Censuring the on-field officials is a must, but it is not enough.

In one instance, the Jamaican referee appeared to have been instructed by the Mexican coach to give Kevin Molino a yellow card.

He should be banned — along with the linesman who ruled our gem of a goal offside — from ever officiating another game.

TT should not have lost to Mexico. I demand justice for all soccer teams now.
