The fragile credibility of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has once again been put on the line after another suspicious ruling by the disciplinary committee, threatening the promotion of Accra Great Olympics. Olympics gained promotion to the top-flight on Saturday but a seemingly legitimate protest over fielding an unqualified player is restraining their celebration. Mighty Jets has accused Great Olympics of using an unqualified player in the person of George Brako in a match the former lost 1-2. But the chairman of the disciplinary committee, Farouk Seidu, dismissed the case even though Olympics admitted at the hearing that midfielder George Brako was not qualified to play in the match against Tudu-based team. The grave offence automatically attracts a three-point deduction while the club must forgo the three points in their underserved win. According to Article 26, 3c of the GFA statues, the cards of players must be embossed with the GFA’s logo ratifying the player’s card to play in any competitive competition. Brako’s card was not embossed at the time he played against Mighty Jets which was the basis for the protest and was expected to be a straight forward case. At the ruling Olympics prayed to be fined for the offence and not to be deducted points for fielding an unqualified player. But in a shocking ruling, Seidu dismissed the case despite the admission for Olympics and gave no reasons for his judgement, tainting the GFA’s and its judge’s reputation. This has given Mighty Jets no option but to consider an appeal, bringing into sharp focus the issue of clubs sending the GFA to court over injustice. A long drawn-out case is expected which will delay the start of the country’s top-flight league. Source: Ghanasoccernet
