Tobago Football Association's competitions have come to a screeching halt as match day #3 beckoned. The Tobago arm of the Referees Association has withdrawn the services of its member referees until an amicable settlement to the compensation negotiation is reached. The TFA's brass have bungled the negotiations, and now the season's competition hangs in the balance.
Very early on in the season's opening competition - the Community Cup, there were whispers of an impending strike by the Referees Association. The crisis was announced when referees failed to show-up for yesterday's Premier League's match day 3 fixtures. Having signalled their intention of not officiating at games scheduled during the current women U-17 qualification, no referees showed up at Thursday's Zonal matches. There weren't any U-17 matches scheduled for yesterday, so they were expected to officiate at the scheduled matches.
Neither the TFA nor the TRA has made any official statements regarding the crisis. When they do, you'd hear it here first.
