Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Hooliganism, a deadly virus that has sharply gone into the core of our football, needs a ruthless and pragmatic approach if indeed we want to run proper football in our country.<\/p>\n

The popular and consistent punishment for clubs when there is violence in a particular stadium has been to ban the venue for some time, but what happens to the perpetrators who commit such crimes?<\/p>\n

Responding to the increasingly sophisticated strategies of football hooligans, the British police invested in the collection of evidence to treat such people as criminals. Ram\u00f3n Spaaij a researcher at Amsterdam School for Social Science Research at the University of Amsterdam<\/p>\n

Came up with a research title THE PREVENTION OF FOOTBALL HOOLIGANISM: A TRANSNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE into English football where they classified hooliganism as \u2018English disease\u2019<\/p>\n

He concluded on how the English attacked the \u2018English disease\u2019 in a 10-page document. https:\/\/www.cafyd.com\/HistDeporte\/htm\/pdf\/4-16.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

The major factor that helped the English was treating these hooligans as criminals. A country where a referee has been killed by hooligans should get serious. Few such incidences have occurred this season already but no other but banning of venues have been the norm<\/p>\n

I believe, Ghana Football Association can do more, I believe the punishment for such violent incidence at match venues is not just laughable but preposterous and needs to change.<\/p>\n

In the 2018 world cup qualifier between South Africa and Senegal, FIFA ordered a replay of the game after it was established that the center referee Joseph Lamptey was compromised to influence the results.<\/p>\n

Ghana Football Association must adopt that principle to one: Gives assurance to supporters that even if a referee\u2019s error in their decision(s) has an impact on the results, the match will be played again.<\/p>\n

The FA should be honest and tell clubs if any form of hooliganism is recorded in any venue that club will be banned for 10 years. I believe this statement of caution, will be enough to scare clubs and their supporters not to engage in any form of violence.<\/p>\n
