Fiamenyo Apologises To Referee

Gilbert Fiamenyo

Hearts of Oak striker Gilbert Fiamenyo has apologised for his tribal comments against referee Yao Ametepey.

The burly forward launched a scathing attack on Ametepey and labelled him a 'disgrace to Ewes' following their 1-0 defeat at AshantiGold.

Fiamenyo has withdrawn his words for hitting below the belt in his assessment of the referee.

“I never, ever used this word in a derogatory way and if it offends anyone then I want to apologize for that,” Fiamenyo said.

“I never spoke with him (Ametepey). I was speaking to a journalist who apparently recorded what I said.

“It was not meant to be insulting and like I said if anyone is offended by that, I am very sorry. It won't happen again.”
