Referees in the Ghana Premier League have been under the cosh a lot in recent times in the Ghana Premier League with several questionable calls against clubs in various matches.

Most of them have been sanctioned for one infraction or the other with a lot of clubs complaining about refereeing decisions deciding games against them.

Referees Manager of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Alex Kortey has leapt to the defense of his people saying that when you sometimes ask the referees and their assistants what happened they are even unable to explain.

Speaking in an interview with Angel FM, the Referees Manager will not blame inexperience or incompetence for the poor showing.

But has attributed the major cause of the erratic officiating we are experiencing on the loss of concentration.

“I will not say they are inexperienced, incompetent or their performance is deliberate but sometimes when you asked the referees and their assistants they can’t even explain what’s happening to them”

“I think they are losing concentration and they must start to assess themselves” he told Angel FM.
