The aspiring GFA president is bitter at how the current GFA team has handled football activities in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat have we witnessed so far? The painting of the GFA (office). Is that what you show for six months of football inactivity if there is something I don\u2019t know?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>George Afriyie added that the football administrators are willing to support Dr Amoah\u2019s NC provided he is ready to count on their support and show transparency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Dr Amoah is to stay for 2 years to reform football, some of us will support him provided you carry us along to know what you are doing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t reform in your bedroom, if you want to reform football let us know that I am doing A, B, C.  Ninety-percent of key stakeholders of football are the clubs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Okyeman Planners FC administrator also condemned the unfortunate incident where a female referee, Theresa Bremansu was physically assaulted by the home side, Prison Ladies after losing by a lone goal to Ampem Darkoa FC over the weekend. He believes referees deserve much better.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou cannot take referees to Sogakope for four days and say that after what we saw there, it means everything is okay and you pay them 670 all-inclusive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs far as I am concerned we\u2019ve played three matches without coverage, is that what we call normalization. You will be surprised that what happened at the Prisons Park would not be captured on camera,\u201d Afriyie said.<\/p>\n<p>George Afriyie was sacked as vice president by Kwesi Nyantayi in April 2018, before the latter\u2019s corrupt dealings was exposed in the \u2018Number 12\u2019 documentary by Tiger Eye Pi two months after.<\/p>\n<p><b>Watch video below<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\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>Sports News of Wednesday, 10 April 2019 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2019-04-10 play videoGeorge Afriyie, former GFA vice president Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) Vice President, George Afriyie has taken a huge swipe at the head of the Normalisation Committee saying he can\u2019t reform Ghana football in his bedroom.
