Why so serious, UAE football officials ?

It is the most talked about kick in the football world right now. UAE’s winger Thiyab Awana scored an outrageous back heel penalty but for some “serious” people it was a cause for concern. Awana might be suspended and fined for his audacious effort, which is framed as “disrespectful”. Just imagine what would have happened had he missed the penalty?

My feeling to all this is “where’s your sense of humor, all you serious people?” Players kick their opponents out of the park; moan constantly with referees and escape but this poor guy tried something funny (and we all enjoyed it) and is being treated as enemy of the game. One of the reason (or the biggest reason) we watch sport is for entertainment and Awana provided plenty of it. He was even yellow carded in the game for his goal but might be fined again. There are plenty of example where players have deliberately handballed, dived in opponents penalty box, performed playacting to deceive referee and most of them if spotted are only penalized (carded) during the game. They say there was not enough evidence to prove whether it was intentional. This case certainly has evidence, but it is such a non-issue. Don’t UAE officials have better things to do?
