Winful Cobbinah to face sanctions over referee comments

Accra Hearts of Oak midfield maestro, Winful Cobbinah, could face sanctions over comments he made about Referee Dally Gagba who was in charge of their week 23 outstanding fixture against arch-rivals Asante Kotoko.

Referee Dally Gagba awarded Kotoko a penalty in the late stages of the second half which ensured both sides shared spoils in a fascinating Super Clash that lived up to the billing.

This what Cobbinah said after the match: “We didn’t lose concentration and stamina at any point in the game, only that they came up tops after getting the equalizer, and I think the referee was also with them. I can say this without blinking because you could see the penalty he awarded them, a very poor call from him.”

“He intentionally decided to let Kotoko back in the game. It’s bad for Ghana football if we want our game to reach the level we crave for. A game of this magnitude needs a fair officiating but today we didn’t get one.”

The match review committee is expected to scrutinize Cobbinah’s comments and further recommendations made to the Disciplinary Committee of the Ghana Football Association for further actions.
