Does UEFA have the right to punish players and managers for criticizing referees?

-


 AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho was recently banned AGAIN by UEFA for what they say was abuse on Anthony Taylor. This was after Roma were denied a penalty in the Europa League finals against Sevilla. 

Does UEFA have the right?

There have been on numerous occasions where football bodies have come out to apologize to teams for daylight robberies on the football pitch. Everton were denied a clear cut penalty against Manchester City and Arsenal were denied a clear goal which probably affected their title push. All those teams got was a gentle sorry but managers lost their jobs and teams lost their titles. 

Is there corruption in football?

Over the years, several things has happened in football which looked very fishy. Chelsea 2009 loss to Barcelona in the Stamford Bridge after they were denied about 4 penalties during the game, Real Madrid’s last minute penalty against Juventus in the champions league, Argentina’s two World Cup wins amongst others. We’ve had referees sacked, demoted or prisoned for dubious performances. If so, why then do they deny managers the freedom to suspect referees for dubious performances. History has proven them right. 

Anthony Taylor pointed to his shoulder after the ball had hit the Sevilla player on his hand. People make mistakes but VAR was introduced to correct them. Will that decision had stood if it was Barcelona, Manchester United or another elite club. Several years ago, Manchester United were given a penalty against PSG after a Dalot wayward shot deflected off the hand of Kimpembe. Per the circumstances, Anthony Taylor wouldn't have given it   

Number 12

Investigative journalist Ana’s from Ghana captured several referees taking bribes, Barcelona are still under investigation for allegedly bribing referees, Juventus were punished for manipulating matches through match fixing and bribing referees. If the opposition managers of those teams had protested against the referees, they would have been punished by UEFA.

 God bless our homeland Ghana! The parliament of Ghana on February 2024 unanimously passed a bill with support from the two most popular political parties in the country to make  it a crime to identify as LGBT+, with penalties of up to three years in prison. Funding or forming a LGBT-related group would be punished by up to five years in prison. The bill was forwarded to president  Nana Akufo-Addo , who may now sign into law or veto it. Akufo-Addo previously said that if most Ghanians wanted the legislation, he would not oppose it. Since then, lots of countries, groups and individuals has expressed their disappointment with certain countries going ahead to even indirectly threaten to stop funding nor investing in the West African country. They are accusing Ghana of suffocating the freedom of the lgbtq community. Others have impolitely questioned the countries focus. According to them, the attention of the country should be channeled into solving its economic problems. Is this true? Sho
