Whistleblowers under unwanted spotlight

These have remained allegations and difficult to prove in the absence of solid evidence. It is something that will continue being whispered in the corridors without any firm action taken.

However, the referees’ committee must take the allegations seriously and make all attempts to get to the bottom of the matter. Teams train hard, fight relegation or genuinely compete for honours expecting nothing but fair treatment from match officials. They don’t expect the referee to steal the limelight with questionable decisions.
