From speaking to a few legal people etc re Balogun, there's a consensus that:
10.5 is clear - cards are issued by the referee. They are not "disciplinary measures" so 12.7 should not apply
The object of the FIFA disciplinary code it is to do with infringement of rules, not on-field offences
9.1 says decisions are final and may not be reviewed by the FIFA judicial bodies
@kasie Best wishes for a speedy recovery! I consistently watched you on MSNBC and look forward to your contributions at CNN. Your reporting is appreciated and respected.
The images, audio, and stories still haunt us today, twenty years later. We remember all the victims, safety and fire personnel, and members of the armed forces who lost their lives as a result of this tragic day.
@vincentdonofrio@tonikj Have a happy birthday. Thank you for all of the entertainment you have provided us with - it brings great joy to many. It allows us to both escape and learn.
