The experienced defender took the walk of shame in the 42nd minute for a handball offense but he has made it clear that the incident occurred outside the 18 - yard box and does not warrant a sending off.
“Maybe that was their plan. The ball touched my hand outside the 18, it was a shocking decision by the referee. I would not know if playing a man less affected the outcome of the match because I am not God.
“The coach was not angry with me. The referee was not fair in his calls throughout the game, even after my dismissal,” Ike ThankGod said.
The tough as nail defender was paired with new recruit Oke Ogagotewho in central defense before team gaffer Paul Aigbogun introduced Nigeria international Azubuike Egwuekwe in the second half to beef up the defense following the dismissal of ThankGod.
