Well at least the ref is a class act:

‘I would like to thank FIFA and CAF for all their support and I promise to keep my refereeing levels up as I concentrate on the future,’ he said.

‘I want to thank the football family for their messages and wish my colleagues all the best success during the World Cup and I look forward to joining them again in future competitions.’
