SINCE the publication of my letter in your newspaper – 12.12.12 captioned “Shabazz’s Resignation” of which I’m extremely grateful, and I must express my profound gratitude, over a two-day period I had received a few phone calls with two of the callers being in total disagreement with my recommendation/suggestion “no club, official or player should be banned, sanctioned or suspended for supporting the filing of the injunction by the GFA executive against their GFF cotemporaries”.

Since the injunction contravened the statutes of FIFA, that I’m fully aware of by way of memory for over two decades, which didn’t entail any research. And further it ought to be enshrined in every constitution of associations and affiliates of the GFF (General Council). “Every decision made/taken by an executive shall remain binding and isn’t revocable by a Court of Law”( words to that effect). But this doesn’t nullify an appeal to i.e. Executive, General Council, CFU, CONCACAF and FIFA!
Meanwhile, the period under review (1 ½ yrs) the Georgetown Football Association was ostracised and excluded from the Guyana Football Federation (GFF), although not a part of the football family and fraternity, to the extent that they can’t attend General Council meetings of the GFF. Simply because the GFA took the GFF to court, and of course the “riot act” had to be read and enforced, with endorsement from the General Council, which is supposed to be the “highest decision-making forum.”;but nevertheless are  “toothless poodles” In a  similar manner, when a player is “red-carded”, his place immediately is in the dressing room and definitely not on the substitutes’ bench or in the stands! So, how come the upholders of the FIFA statute, can conveniently utilize individuals from the ostracized association for its national interest? Is FIFA aware of this? And what of the General Council, did any member indicate that such actions are bringing the game into disrepute,namely,that  executive members of Santos and Riddim Squad were being used in managerial roles for the Golden Jaguars?
In addition to the Head of Coach of Fruta Conquerors, coaching a junior national team in a CFU Competition, which was preceded by Georgetown participating in a GFF inter-association youth competition while not foregoing the selection of junior and senior players for national representation.
All are involved and all are consumed in bringing the game into disrepute. Nevertheless, this is a clear indication that “duplicity is rife in national football”? And should the imposition of sanctions remain a front-burner issue against the GFA? Then sanctions ought to be imposed against the federation’s executive and General Council also, at the behest of the CFU. And by the way, with the injunction still in place, FIFA hasn’t banned Guyana, since the Golden Jaguars continued to participate in the 2014 World Cup Qualifiers until elimination. While executive members continue to attend congresses and meetings of CFU, CONCACAF and FIFA, and the subvention hasn’t been withdrawn. Maybe, it should have, and the first to leave the secretariat, would have been the super- salaried workers!
