The Referees Review Panel of the Ghana Football Association will punish clubs that will raise false allegations against match officials after investigations, GHANAsoccernet.com can reveal.

According to a member of the Review Panel, most clubs point accusing fingers at referees but after watching videos of such matches, they find the referees innocent.

The source added that clubs have succeeded in inciting their fans against match officials but these officials are mostly correct in their decisions and do not deserve such accusations.

The Review Panel has since warned all clubs to make sure that accusations leveled against match officials can be well substantiated or risk serious sanctions.

Match officials have been at the center of ridicule by clubs and fans for decisions taken on the field but video evidence sometimes show they took the right decisions.
