What are the consequences of the decision of the Belgian Football Organisation to let RSCA-La Louvière replay? These are far more ellaborate than we think. Therefore, we made a summery:


Loss of points:
Anderlecht will lose 3 points and the game has to be replayed. The Mauves are considering to go in evocation, so the decision might still be reviewed.
Precedent:
The Football Organisation created a dangerous precedent by allowing pictures as evidence. It's very easy to create pictures from TV-images.
Straf voor Aruna?:
Then what about Aruna? He punched a Genk-player in the face last Tuesday. The referee didn't notice it, but the incident was recorded by the TV cameras. So can he still get punished? It's not unlikely...
Scheidsrechterscommissie:
For the first time, the Football Organisation overruled a decision of the Committee of Referees. This could also change our football.
