It was first reported in the media that it wasnt a case the FA would follow suit but I think they have changed their thoughts. Who said Ghana should not appeal against the ban? Eduardo of Arsenal was banned after he was adjudged to have dived to deceive the referee to award a penalty to Arsenal against Celtic in a UEFA Champions League game. Arsenal appealed against the ban and it was overturned and Eduardo went on to score in the next game Is it timidity, fear or the proverbial "fa ma nyame" syndrome at work? They should appeal and call for the video to be replayed.
There is a conspiracy at work during the tournament as can be seen from officiating. This same thing happened to South Africa in their first group match against UAE. Nigeria lost two players through red cards, South Africa and Cameroun also had their players sent off and later Ghana. It is time the voice of African football officials are heard in the corridors of FIFA. We have the players to win these tournaments but we are always undone by racist match officials. Enough is enough!
The Black Satellites will not appeal against the ban of midfielder Rabiu Mohammed who was sent off during last night's final Group D match against Uruguay in Ismailia.
Mohammed's celebrations of opening scoring account in the 54th minute turned soar when Crotian referee Ivan Bebek dismissed him 21 minutes later.
The Sampdoria player was given a straight red card for a high challenge on Aguirregaray.
A high profile management committee member told Ghanasoccernet they will not contest his wrongful matching off.
But that could change after a meeting with Ghana Football Association vice President Fred Pappoe on Saturday morning.
Head coach Sellas Tetteh has placed a low key on his absence but admits the player has been functional in their game plan.
"He is a good player and we're going to miss him but that I will mean there are people on the bench who can do the job. Rabiu is a very good player." Tetteh said.
He will miss two matches in the tournament.
