A class one referee has bemoaned how they are demonized when in fact club administrators are the ones who make them corrupt.
According to him, referees who are appointed to officiate matches especially in the premier league are contacted by either owners or administrators of the football clubs to favour them.
The referee who spoke on condition of anonymity explained that, the moment the name of the referee is mention prior to the match, they quickly go to see him with huge monies before the game.
These club administrators, he indicated pay as much as GHC5000 just to get a referee to win a match for them thus it is sad when the same people turn around to accuse them of being corrupt.
“These club administrators call us the minute we are named to officiate their matches and negotiate with us” added.
However, he revealed that, these club administration incite their supporters against referees when they refuse to do their bidden.
“They inform their supporters when we refuse to officiate in their favor and some even attack us”, he explained in an interview on Asempa FM.
