Astute football administrator, Oluboi Commodore has backtracked on a statement he made before the Ga-Mantse derby between Accra Hearts of Oak and Accra Great Olympics.
According to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the DADE club, he only made those comments just to hype the game and for that matter he didn’t mean what he he said about the Phobians.
The outspoken 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 Accra-based Happy FM, Mr Commodore apologized to the football fraternity for his comment but said it was just to hype the Mantse derby.
“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.
The Ga Mantse Derby ended in a 1-1 stalemate after a pulsating and a scintillating game by the two teams with Hearts of Oak SC being the better side of the match for a greater part of the game.
