Referee Yaw Ametepe suspects foul play over his six-week ban for awarding a penalty to New Edubiase in their Week 21 league match against All Stars. The Ghana FA�s Executive Committee approved the decision taken by the match review panel but Ametepe insists he is being victimized for committing no crime thus his decision to quit refereeing. �It is indeed sad times for Ghana football. I am not much of a talking person but the decision they took is so bad that I have to come out,� he told Kumasi-based Kessben FM. �This is the seventh-time I am officiating an All Stars game so why would I cheat the team of the GFA President Kwasi Nyantakyi? �I urge the match be shown on TV for everyone to come to a conclusion that indeed it was a penalty. �From what I saw it was a clear penalty. In cases like these you need technical men to take decisions, people with technical eyes because with them I am certain they wouldn�t have come to such a conclusion. �It was the same way I was suspended for three weeks for not awarding a penalty to Hearts of Oak against Tema Youth so I don�t know what the committee wants to achieve. �I have taken a decision not to officiate against, no one can come and ask me anything.�
