I can say this without blinking because you could see the penalty he awarded them, a very poor call from him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe intentionally decided to let Kotoko back in the game. It\u2019s 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\u2019t get one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The match review committee is expected to scrutinize Cobbinah\u2019s comments and further recommendations made to the Disciplinary Committee of the Ghana Football Association for further actions.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winful Cobbinah could be in trouble &#13; 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.
