In its simplest form, an Award Ceremony is a formal occasion at which accolades are given out to honour achievement in a particular field.
The Guyana Football Federation (GFF), an institution that is headed by former Fruta Conquerors boss Wayne Forde, staged an extravagant gala on Friday to honour stakeholders for their contribution to football development.
Nothing of note is worth honouring in football presently.
The same institution that is millions of dollars in debt and seemingly cannot afford to pay the clubs their hard earned prize monies, transportation fees, ground rentals and match-day stipends, opted to stage an expensive shindig for local football’s purported elite while at the same time there is a Commission of Inquiry (CoI) into the alleged sexual harassment of female referees by senior officials in the sport.
There is also the alleged inappropriate behaviour of GFF Executive Committee Member Keith O’Jeer.
