General Manager of Accra Great Olympics Oloboi Commodore has apologized over comment on referees helping Hearts of Oak.
The controversial and outspoken football administrator before the Accra derby between the Great Olympics and the league leaders, Hearts of Oak said the Phobians have not been better than his side.
He added Hearts have benefited from officiating thus the reason for being on top of the league table.
However, the Disciplinary Committee of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has handed a one-match ban and a fine of GHC 2000 for misconduct.
The veteran football administrator was found guilty of breaching the Ghana Football Association’s regulation 2019, Article 36(d)(4) and Article 38(8)(C).
In an interview with the media, Oloboi Commodore disclosed he is ashamed of the comment he made but said it was just to hype the game.
He has therefore apologized to the football fraternity for his unfortunate comment about referees.
“In my reply to the charge I apologized to the FA on the statement and it wasn’t against the referees but just to hype the game”, he said.
“I am ashamed for making that statement and I have no intention to denigrate the referees. I accept the charge and apologize once more”.
“My target to sell all our tickets was achieved. I was just teasing Hearts of Oak. Maybe the way I said it didn’t go well”, he added.
