حسبي الله ونعم الوكيل فيك
You are a non-professional, unfair, and corrupted referee. You deserve to be banned forever.

Vous êtes un homme injuste et vous ne vous souciez pas de votre statut. Nous avons appris que vous travaillez dans les tribunaux français du ministère de la Justice, mais que vous n'étiez pas affilié au ministère de la Justice et que vous ne représentez pas la justice et la justice. Votre carrière d'arbitrage prendra fin, mais la honte et la prise pour vous et vos petits-enfants ne s'arriveront pas. 🙅🏻♂️🙅🏻♂️🙅🏻♂️🙅🏻♂️🙅🏻♂️🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
