Retired referee and National Vice Chairman of Referees Association of Ghana, Joe Debrah says the Ghana Football Association's failure to provide clear video evidence for alleged poor officiating by some referees has contributed to referees poor officiating.
The performance of Ghanaian referees have always been a major talking point after games.
The recent one was when Kotoko coach Steve Pollack criticized a referee for awarding a dubious penalty for his side to beat lower division side Nea Salamina in an MTN FA Cup.
“What I want to say is that the GFA has disappointed the referees, the clips they show everyday always puts the referees in a compromising situation and are always controversial that even if the referee is wrong, it is very difficult to either incriminate or exonerate the referee" Debrah said on Rainbow FM.
“The clips are always dicey that its difficult to tell whether the referee is right or wrong.So I think the next time we start, the GFA should place the camera in a way that if the referee is wrong, we can all see it clearly and give the proper judgement.”
He added: I’m not supporting any referee though but I just want the right thing to be done because most of the clips I see leaves me in doubt and that makes it difficult to give your views or thoughts about it. But in all I think the GFA has let us down.”
