  1. A very good and solid first half from Sidi Alioum in a not to difficult first half

    ReplyDelete
  2. Based upon CAFonline, his name should be "Alioum Alioum". Why there was the wrong "Néant" for years is recorded, where the "Sidi" comes from I can't tell.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Strange indeed. "Néant" is French meaning "not there" or "absent", which is perhaps the reason why he introduced himself as "Alioum" only in the 2014 WC presentation video. That thinking would mean that he doesn't have a first name, which would be strange anyway...

      Delete
    2. Some years ago an interview was posted and he stated that his real name was Sidi. I don't remember more info and I couldn't find it again but trust me. It was when he explained that Néant was not his name :D

      Delete
    3. He is known as Sidi over here in Africa and also his Wikipedia page says Sidi as his first name

  4. Two questions for those on the blog who are more informed in CAF.

    1) Is VAR being used at the 2019 AFCON?
    2) Are referee fixed trios? Or will the CAF Ref Comm be mixing trios like CONCACAF is doing at the 2019 Gold Cup?

    Okay so three questions. Lol
    Thanks in advance for any and all info

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes VAR will be applied in the Quarterfinals
      There are no continental trio in the African Cup

      Delete
    2. Thank you Ahmed. And thank you for all the referee assignments that you post.

      Delete
  5. I would say most if then come as a trio but it's definitely hard to maintain

    1. Thank you Chiagozie. And yes it can be a daunting task for referee trios to remain together long term.

  6. What About Algeria v Kenya ?
    Thanks :)

  7. Menkouande is listed as Gassama's assistant at WC 2014, even the 1st one.

  8. Hell Chiagozie, are you Nigerian? If yes contact me on 08035072419

  9. I asked Alioum on Facebook, and he said his name is Alioum Alioum. He said it was a federation error that put justy one name on the FIFA system and then a Neant was created in the blank space, and that was corrected only years later. "Sidi" was something created by a website that never talked to him, so to this day he does not know why they created this fake name for him.

  11. What has gone wrong with simon bennett since the game between Uganda and Ghana I think, he was suppose to be international referee till December, or has he been replaced by Victor Gomez?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Here is the report that you mentioned Chefren, note that there is no statement from Alioum about his name, there is only the statement of a member of the federation explaining the reason for the "Neant", but he never says that his name is Sidi, so the name was invented by the reporter, as Alioum himself said.

    https://web.archive.org/web/20150122121149/http://fr.starafrica.com/football/can-2012-larbitre-cameroun-alioum-n-214912.html

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Indeed, this was the article, you are right. The only thing is that I find strange that his full name is only "Alioum".

      Delete
    2. As I said above, he confirmed to me on Facebook that his name is Alioum Alioum, including that is the name of his profile on Facebook, I will not leave the link here, but just search Alioum Alioum there.

      Delete
    3. But in short, his name is neither Neant nor Sidi, it is Alioum Alioum.

      Delete
    4. And if that's not enough, as I said earlier, it is also the name CAFonline uses.

  13. Bernard Camille with alot of whistle for challenges he should play on. No single advantage played, overly playing it safe. Any small touch and it's a foul

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. 34 fouls so far in Nigeria - Burundi, but according to some sites, in DR Congo - Uganda (I didn't watch the game) today Redouane Jiyed whistled 47 fouls (23-24) and this was for sure a record. He issued only 3 cards, so very likely a similar style to Camille.

      Delete
    2. Sounds like the last AFCON all over again - even less cards than at 2014 WC. Lovely.

    3. CAF is very strange, so it seems as they wanted to keep Otogo-Castane out from the tournament, but then they changed idea...
      Strange also about Grisha, it was reported that his suspension had been annulled following an appeal by Egyptian FA, and he would have been allowed to handle games at this tournament.
      But nothing so far...

  29. Grisha with a missed RC for SFP (only YC given, however it was second one and player was dismissed) following a penalty whistled to Senegal. Earlier, he had whistled another penalty to Senegal in first half, in this case I tink rather mistake (attacker looking for the contact, going deliberately against opponent to get it). I have also reports of a possible penalty to Senegal before all these incidents. Very challenging game. Let's wait for some highlights. Meanwhile, here the video of both yellow cards for Kenyan player:

    1. Kenya - Senegal (01/07). Short highlights: https://youtu.be/L8WXUL2qi18
      No penalty incidents included besides the two ones. First penalty fully correct for me. In case of play on VAR should intervene (but there is no VAR) as there was clear contact. Yes, he searched for the contact a bit but the defender put his leg out prior without playing the ball. Second penalty could have been straight RC but not a clear and obvious error.
