Dankano that officiated the Remo Stars vs Abia Warriors was financially induced to make that wrong call.<br /><br /><span class="body1"><span class="body1"><span class="body1"><span class="body1">&ldquo;</span></span></span></span>My position is that the officiating was very fair until that error. I was convinced the call was right until I saw the replay on television.<br /><br /><span class="body1"><span class="body1"><span class="body1"><span class="body1">&ldquo;</span></span></span></span>He denied Remo Stars a 50-50 penalty call in the 59th minute, he could have given that if he was induced. <br /><br /><span class="body1"><span class="body1"><span class="body1"><span class="body1">&ldquo;</span></span></span></span>The game was live on cable television and was viewed across the country and I think it was a well officiated game save for the last minute mistake.<br /><br /><span class="body1"><span class="body1"><span class="body1"><span class="body1">&ldquo;</span></span></span></span>However, it is a lesson for the gentleman because the rule is DO NOT GIVE UNLESS YOU ARE SURE. The call became this bad because it decided the outcome of the game.<span class="body1"><span class="body1"><span class="body1"><span class="body1"><span class="body1"><span class="body1"><span class="body1">&rdquo; </span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br /><br />Referee A.
