With new administrators and an overhauled system it is surprising to hear the same old complaints from coaches
Ghanaian referees have never been popular with local coaches, but many observers were expecting an improved situation when the Normalisation Committee took over football in the country, after last year’s corruption scandal.
However, the issue of poor officiating resurfaced during the very first day of matches of the Special Competition, which is a novelty tournament meant to keep clubs busy ahead of a new season.
Aduana Stars coach W.O. Tandoh, who's side lost 1-0 to Asante Kotoko in Kumasi on Sunday, has blamed the result on inappropriate calls made by referee Daniel Laryea and his assistants.
