REPLACEMENT OF SUSPENDED COACHES

It has been noticed that suspended coaches are being replaced by teams on the bench by registering five technical officers on the bench. As from now on, all teams whose coaches or technical staff are suspended cannot replace them until the technical staff concerned completes his suspension.

SAIFOU SAVAGE – ONE LOVE SUSPENDED

The attitude and rudeness manifested by Saifou Savage of One love on Friday, 30 September 2011 against All Stars towards his coaches and team officials was distasteful and totally unprofessional. To persistently using all kinds of abusive language to his coaches for not selecting him to play, clearly shows that he is not a team player. In this vein, he is suspended for the rest of the Nawetaan to enable him to take stock of himself and realize that football is a team sport before it is too late.

URINATING INSIDE ON THE GROUND

Muntu Jaiteh and Basiru Trawally of Gloucester United and Edirisa Sissaho of Plumbi United are found urinating inside the artificial turf ground which is against all sense of decency. As such, both teams are fined for failure to control their players. Gloucester United D500 for the two players and Plumbi United D250 for one player, payable before Friday, 7 October 2011.

WARNING: REFEREE’S DRESSING ROOM

All team officials and players are warned not to go to the referees’ dressing room during half time and after the match to talk to the match officials. Going to the referees’ dressing room always create problems and it should be avoided by all teams. If any team official(s) or player(s) are found at the referees’ dressing room during half time or after the match a suspension and fine will be imposed on the team and officer or player concerned.
