Until very recently almost all Ghana Premier league referees were either Ewes,Ga or Northerners.They did everything to exclude anybody with an Akan name.After so many complaints and threats to go public only cosmetic changes ...

My friend, don't be tribalistic. Referees are chosen based on their competence and that is the reason why they are disciplined when they don't perform as expected.
EVEN PUBLIC TOILET ASSOCIATION IS IN ACCRA? WTF IS THIS. MOVE THE HEADQUARTERS OF SOME OF THESE INSTITUTIONS OUTSIDE GREATER ACCRA. WE HAVE 10 REGIONS IN GHANA FOR A REASON...MOVE SOME HEADQUARTERS TO KOFORIDUA, TAMALE, TAKOR ...

Public toilets also have an association? Hahahahahahaha. Ghana is just funny.
ALSO BASED IN ACCRA...
THE WHITE REFEREE WHO OFFICIATED THE MATCH BETWEEN PSG AND BACELONA,DID WORSTTHAN LAMPTEY,WHY WAS HE NOT SUSPENDED FOR LIFE.
REFREE LAMPTEY CAN APPEAL THIS CASE ON DISCRIMINATION.
They think they will work against us and then we will turn around and support them when theyare sinking.Let him sink in his humiliation.
Say it again!!!An Association for Public toilets? Haba!! Very soon there will be a Council for Urinals and this will be in Accra, also .
Ebeii! Ghana my motherland.Enough of the these foolishness
The typical Ghanaian is a liar. The typical Ghanaian has no sense of shame. The typical Ghanaian is rotten to the core. This referee is a typical Ghanaian. John Rawlings, John Kuffour, and John Mahama are all typical Ghanaian ...

This gentleman has always had this issue. Why the noise from you? Check your facts before insulting people. If you don't know he's been like this for over ten years. Stop the reckless defense.
You can't tell this belly-thinker is going by the song "Sika ye mogya"!
Buuulubi nyo!

GOD PUNISH AM WELL WELL! SUCKER OR SUKAH WILL BE THE NEXT.THANK YOU FIFA.
As for u this Mugabe judge rapist u don't deserve to talk about this issue at all. Getaway. We are even looking for u to deal with u so shut up.
This is the reflection of the Ghanaian society.It is so rotten,that almost everybody is corrupt.
We need an attitude cleansing.
These street sleeper and shiit on the sea side people has took over Ghana referee at hostage now see humiliation on mother Ghana
That ugly and corrupt boy is the bane of our soccer.
How do you blame Nyantakyi for the corrupt Lamptey who has been in a cold war with Nyantakyi for years?
Because he gets away with it Ghana.
Nyantakyi is more handsome and intelligent than all your family put together. Nonsense!
Serves him right. We are too corrupt in this country. In our football and public life corruption is normal and hailed Shame to all Ghanaians
Atom, I agree with you.
He should carry the shame for the rest of his life. Ghana referees are fund of committing blunders, whether for personal gains or pure incompetence.
This falls squarely with the people who have kept the Referee program secluded to certain tribes in Accra.
Damn tribalist what shows refereeing in Ghana has been centered around a particular tribe? Some of u a staunch tribalist and you link everything to tribal sentiments.
What is wrong with u. The Referee Association is lookin ...

Unfortunate this should happen to arguably one of our top referees. A warning to other referees to tread cautiously.
Why unfortunate? We are rather fortunate have him out as he has been doing this in our local league for years. One bad apple is gone. Others are panicking. GOOD FOR US
You call this biased referee top. He has been cheating all his life and has gotten away with it in Ghana. He deserves every bit of this punishment. However I must admit some referees have committed worse blunders than this on ...

even sepp blatter was banned for 5 yrs.
When was this decision made? Referee Lamptey was the 4th official in the game between Hearts and Kotoko yesterday!
This shows how incompetent Ghanaian referees are. Just imagine what happened at the Accra Sports stadium - Hearts VS Kotoko - that dubious penalty awarded to Hearts of Oak. This country does not produce quality any more-- Too ...

Very Good.
Hearts of oak should come out to condemn this dubious penalty if only if they believe in fairness to grow our game.
Am saying this because it will cause the club's to loose spectators during matches. This will therefore hav ...

skin pain... it was a CLEAR penalty...watch a better angle before you conclude.. sore loser
Do not blame Hearts Of Oak, blame the Referee.
THE BALL HIT THE KOTOKO DEFENDER'S HIM/BODY. THE BALL DIDNT TOUCH THE HAND AT ALL N THE REF WAS RIGHT THERE...DAYLIGHT ROBBERY
Using making this case personal,go and watch all kotoko games again
You are right,the referee must be blamed (Sukah the vampire)
I expect FIFA to take the same action against the center referee of PSG-BARCA game. Pure discrimination at its PEAK
I remember Kenneth making this suggestion when the story first broke and people attacked him for being too harsh. Ken where you? We miss your contribution.
GFA must also sanction Joseph Lamptey to protect the integrity of Ghana.
These Gas can be bribed with anything.,,.. even with SHIT.
u fooolish monkey looking man kese avu
I support Fifa 100% I watch the said match n it was a day light robbery against the Senegalese
Well done FIFA! But please add referees Deniz Aytekan who officiated Barcelona vs PSG and Samuel Sucker Hearts of Oak vs Asante Kotoko. I will doubt your integrity with these two still officiating
i serve him better
I never my life see referee like this man soo shmmmmmmmmm...
that should be a lesson to referee Samuel sucker.
This has come as a big disgrace to ghana. Charity begins at home. It serves him right.
South Africa must speak out. Was the match fixed or not. Damn ediots at fifa.
The host nation should determine this before a FIFA action. Listen to the Pot calling the Kettle black. Was it not the same FIFA who could not arrest its officials including previous FIFA Presidents and other top officials fo ...

Well done fifa. A big lesson.
Please let us put Tribalism aside.It is the character of an individual.Unfortunately Ghanians have become morally corrupt including our numerous Men of God that who use all means to cheat,steal and loot.
All corrupt people in Ghana were trained by ex President Mahama.
Good news.our Ghanaian referees are corrupt like the F.A boss Akwasi Nyantakyi.
Shame on Him!! How Much Was He Paid As Bribe?? He Must Return That Money Immediately! zero-tolerance policy on match manipulation and zero-tolerance policy on corruption in GHANA!!
How l wish he will be ban even in the cemetery. Aboa you think you can influence games and go Scot free.This same referee Lamptey robed Tema youth in their final game against Olympics in their final game to seek qualification ...

because of how they show in ghana and people support such action i thinlk you will continue to desgraces yourself
REFREE FOR PSG AND BACELONA GAME DID WORSE THAN THE GHANA REFEREE.ITS DOUBLE STANDARD IN THIS CASE.
Imagine if this creature is the Electoral Commisional Chairman..A disgrace!!
Serves him right. I was in the stadium that day and even a Steve Wonder could see clearly the manipulation in favour of Bafana.
Hahahaha
We want the truth
How much money he receive from whom

Good riddance !
j o God will vindicate u it is not e end of life fifa i can see some bias judgement there
What about the referee who handled Barcelona vrs PSG game. FIFA should follow the same route.
So an African will easily be banned. What about the referee who officiated the Barcelona vs PSG return league.
Was that a proper penalty?What nonsense was that?He and his entire generation should be banned from football related activities.Period.How can Ghana soccer grow with these type of characters?This goes to tell how our game is ...

Others must learn lessons
Media here has a field day, pontificating how corrupt West Africans are,even though Lamptey,s actions benefited their team. Evidence is emerging that he took 5000$ to sell his soul.
this is not fair fifa at least a different purnishment woukd have been good why ban him fie life j.o God will vendicate u
IS IT BECAUSE HIS AN AFRICAN OR WHAT?DONT WE SEE MISTAKES MADE REFEREES EVERYDAY?WHEN HAS THE FIFA EVER TAKEN SUCH A HASH DECISION ON EUROPEAN REFEREE WHO AT TIMES MAKES EVEN WORSE DECISION LIKE THIS ONE.WHAT A SHAME.
Mistake of taking bribes is the reason why he's banned for life. He's dubious and so are most officials in Ghana.
in their ORGANIZATIONS. Watch world cup ,European leaques & you can see their ugliness.
THE LAW OF KARMA sure PALMER said it and it has come to pass yh ay KUMASI stadium after Tema Youth game against Olympic
GLAD THE WORSE REFEREE ON EARTH HAS BEEN BAN.
yes he deserves it for soiling Ghana's name but what about south african FA which was his partner in crime?
Just watching BBC sports news and what they are saying is that he awarded a penalty instead of a corner even to the surprise of the beneficiaries.How on earth can you do that.Assistant referee objected but won't listen. You w ...
