Now I hope my fellow die hard supporters on the left have seen it too and are ready to part referee Sukah's back for a job well done. ONLY A VERY GENUINE & BOLD REFEREE can make this call. Good job.

Having said that, I applaud all the Kotoko faithful's who challenged this ruling too. Guys, though you didn't get what you wanted, I still believe it'll put a check in the way of refereeing in Ghana. Let's keep challenging every suspected biased ruling without fight and this will help put paid to bad officiating in this country. Thanks to all

Where from this video? If this video is not doctored, then it was a penalty but this video is so different from the earlier ones I doubt it's authenticity.

It was an action play that the referee possibly made a wrong call. Such controversial decisions happens in football.

the person who posted this video is bias. why didn't they show the other angle? there is a video of the angle right from the kotoko golie and that clearly shows the ball hit the defender's ass.

Countryman Songo, the Kotoko journalist should apologize to this referee. We all know he is a die hard Kotoko supporter and he is not professional at all in his journalism. He should be banned from giving commentary during Hearts/Kotoko matches. I am calling on all Kotoko supporters, management and their Kotoko Express editor, Asare to apologize to the referee for the insult and curses to him and his family and also apologize to Hearts for the disgrace and limiting the club.

Better teach your defenders how to tackle. You dive like a horse to save a goal bound shot and you think it won't touch your hands? That's a "kookoase" tackle right there. A wise defender tackles in the 18 yard box with his hands behind him.

Where is the so called clear video evidence? They should release it for all to see !! It's just a cover up. Hearts wasted all their money on this game and will continue to lose to teams like Aduana and Tema Youth.

And the player had the nerve to argue with the referee all. With the poor referee getting all these insults. Players must also be truthful and display sportsmanship. People could have died because of this!

Did they watch only the penalty or the whole 90 minutes? If yes did they see that almost all the 50 50 balls the referee whistle against kotoko?And what about what happened in the heart of oak's penalty box against kotoko's number 10 man just before that penalty came.Am not sure I will go to stadium again with this kind of referees.Paying 50gh cedis for a referee to decides which team should win a match.

I'm still lost as to why some guys just say things when they ought not say such stuffs. Anyone who watched the game live on TV that day saw in the slow motion that the referee was right. It was this same video i saw during the slow motion of the live game so i wasn't pleased with the attacks on the referee. The player should bow down his head in shame,he'd would have gained lots of respect and recognition if had come out to say the truth. I've played football to a good level before and i can emphatically state that a player obviously feels the ball when it hits any part of the body especially ur hands.all along i was waiting for the player to come out with the truth but he never did. This video is what i saw on the live telecast, it hasn't been doctored in any way what so ever.

This defender should have dove with his lower body rather than his upper body. The referee was right about the decision. He took a risk, could have been given or not so don't blame the referee.
