No bashing as this was expected behavior

All Saudi need to been banned! I hate the country

[Damavand]

If the Saudis did not have the Black Gold they would be the Poorest country in the World. Even below Nepal.

Well if FIFA would actually look at Iran's game being refereed by Arab referees then there would be a lot more bans due to "match fixing".

[Rooyintan]

Saudi Arabia Football Federation should be banned from both FIFA, AFC. Also kicked out of United Nations once and for all

It is very suspicious. Al Midrasi was actually a good referee. Saudi FA claims he confessed to accepting an offer of money by for match fixing while being in custody of police. God knows what police did to him to get the confession. How can he be banned without a fair trial. FIFA has asked Saudi FA for additional information.

Finally one comment which is not filled with hate and racism.

What is racist about my comment? This behavior is expected of the Saudis.

They are not a race as far as I know. Jordanians are lovely people

yea, man the whole story doesnt smell halaal .!! why would the Saudi FA blow the whistle on one their own and make themselves look like the Cheats that they already famous for..? especially over reffing some kiri cup no body outside the ayrab world gives a flying fk about..!!

seems to me some asshole Amir was trying to get the guy to fix the king cup final, the guy didnt play ball, so they destroyed his career..?? if FIFA actually investigate deep into this shady shitt, a lot more damaging info will likely be discovered that will likely shake the whole Corrupt Saudi FA to the core.... but of course we know that aint gonna happen as the FIFA investigating officials are easily purchased if not already on their payroll..!
