Ghana Sports has gathered that, referee Charles Nii Tagoe was paid to cheat for home-based team New Edubiase in the midweek 8 of the game involving Edubiase and Kpando Heart of Lions in the Ghana Premier League.
A Ghana Sports Source says, the inability of the football association of Ghana to pay our referees has resulted in a situation where Ghanaian referees take money from team owners before officiating league matches. The problems of referees’ bonuses and salaries have been there for too long with no resolution yet in sight.
The Edubiase and Lions game saw seven yellow cards issued to the Kpando lads. One red card was shown to their top scorer Tanko Mohammed who missed the Kotoko clash in Kpando on Sunday October 27, 2013.
The source also told Ghana Sports that the President of Edubiase Abdul Yukubu Salam, issued warning to Heart of Lions not to honor the match because he won’t sit down for Lions to come and take any points at their expense and will do anything possible to win the three maximum point at Gyamfi Park.
Tanko Mohammed’s red card was deliberate, to frustrate the Kpando lads before their clash against the porcupine warriors. Tanko will miss the next two games since it was a straight red card.
