The Liberia Football Association (LFA) has fined its defending
champions Black Star LD$20,000.00 for failing to end the match
against Mighty Barrolle in Buchanan City, Grand Bassa County.
According to the Deputy Secretary General (SG) for technical affairs
at the local football house, Mr. Benedict Yarsiah, Black Star
violated the rules and regulations of the LFA by failing to end a
match and warrants the above fine.
The reports say, Black Star former president Mr. Pennoh Bestman, who
is Vice President for Administrations at the LFA, ordered his
players to leave the pitch after Mighty Barrolle took a 2-1 lead in
the pairing in Buchanan.
The reports also say Black Star defender Dominic Salvace was red
carded when Mr. Bestman took the decision accusing the referee of
cheating.
Keen observers of Liberian football have hailed the local football
house for the fine against its defending champions and believe it
would serve as an example for the good of the game.
Mr. Yarsiah also said Black Star has already paid the fine.
At the same time, the LFA Executive Committee met Thursday, 1st May,
