New Referee's Committee Chairman Randy Abbey

Newly appointed Referee’s Committee chairman Randy Abbey aims at making the selection process of referees in Ghana more transparent.

The Executive Committee member was handed the post on Tuesday and replaces Osei-Tutu Agyemang who was accused of being biased towards Asante Kotoko.

And Abbey says he looks to tackle his new role as an impartial chairman while the committee works towards making their work more transparent.

“This job at the end of the day is not about neutrality, it is about impartiality,” he told Accra-based Asempa FM.

“It should be about the competence of the committee and the fact that it is doing a professional job.

“People will also begin to appreciate the work better if the appointment process of a referees is more transparent.”

GFA CHANGES!

1. WOMENS LEAGE: EACH PREMIER CLUB SHOULD HAVE A WOMENS TEAM. THEY WILL PLAY BEFORE THE MEN PLAY. AS CURTAIN RAISERS

2. WOMENS GFASSOCIATION..WILL OVERLOOK THE DEV OF WOMENS SOCCER FROM GRASSROOTS TO QUEENS. INCLUDE PLAYING FOREIGN FRIENDLIES ETC

3. NIKE JERSEYS FOR ALL NATIONAL TEAMS

4. RETIREMENT OR INSURANCE PLAN FOR ALL PLAYERS. THIS WILL BE CHAMPIONED BY THE VARIOUS CLUB OWNERS. THEY MUST MAKE SURE THE PLAYERS HAVE A HEALTH INSURANCE N RETIREMENT PLAN FOR ALL SIGNED PLAYERS.

5. TABLE THE CALENDAR WELL SO THE FA CUP IS PLAYED BEFORE THE LEAGUE TROPHY IS AWARDED…LIKE THE EPL

6. ABOLISH THE PRACTICE OF GIVING THE LEAGUE WINNER A 30 SEATER BUS. GIVE THEM THE TROPHY, AND THE CASH

7. FIND A LOCAL GH SPONSOR FOR THE LEAGUE OR GO TO S AFRICA N FIND A SPONSOR. I DONT TRUST THESE GLO PPL AT ALLLLLLLLL. VERY SHADY

THEY CAN DO A GOODJOB AT HOME IN THE PREMIERSHIP, AND BE ELIGIBLE FOR FOR AFCON/CAF N FIFA COMPETITIONS. I MEAN WOULDNT IT BE NICE TO SEE A GH REF WORKING A WORLD CUP MATCH, OR EVEN EUROPEAN GAME? BRING SOME FEMALE REFS INTO THE GAME ALSO….
