GFA urged to monitor third division league matches

Kraboa Coaltar (Eastern Region) - The Chairman of the Kraboa Coaltar World Vision F/C, Nana Yaw Sarichi, has suggested to the Ghana Football Association (GFA), to send monitors to watch Division Three matches to minimise bad officiating at league centres.

He said dubious penalties, red cards and offside goals are too common in the division’s league matches of late. Nana Sarichi was speaking at Kraboa Coatar on the general performance of teams in the Eastern Regional Third Division league.

He said Ghana's soccer would go places if match officials would properly interpret the rules of the game and desist from allowing dubious goals and ruling off good ones on flimsy grounds.

Nana Sarichi said the performance of certain referees demoralise young soccer talents and kill their enthusiasm to pursue football to greater heights and urged match officials to encourage lovers of the game by being above reproach when they handle matches.
