The feud between local football giants BASSA and Asot’s Arcade Parham seems far from over, as rumours have surfaced of another protest since their meeting in the Digicel/Hadeed Motors and Observer Group Premier Division football competition Sunday.
According to inside sources, the Parham FC has reportedly written to the Antigua and Barbuda Football Association (ABFA) requesting answers about a BASSA player, Dashaun “Dutty-Mouth” Browne, who allegedly should not have been eligible to play after he had been hit with a two-game suspension.
The letter, according to reports, also protested a decision by match referee Daniel Leslie to expel two Parham players in the dying stages of play.
Reports have indicated that Browne, after he was red-carded in his team’s match against Potters, was given a two-game suspension from the ABFA’s disciplinary committee.
BASSA had appealed the decision. The committee, however, failed to render a judgment on BASSA’s appeal prior to last Sunday’s match, at which time a decision was made, reportedly just minutes before the contest, to allow Browne to play until the decision was rendered.
General Secretary of the ABFA Gordon “Banks” Derrick confirmed that the disciplinary committee had since ruled on BASSA’s appeal and that the player’s two-game suspension has been reduced to one.
A comment could not be had from Parham officials, who would only say that they are awaiting a response from the ABFA.

Has the soccer fan watched the game bassa played before the parham game and the other games after. If the soccer fan wants to watch real football and not kick down as even the national team plays why they can't win much game overseas against technical teams he/she should watch parham and ask the national team to also. When you watch parham team play it's like watching international football on tv.
Why is it if so that up to the time Bassa won the game versus parham that people still go out to watch the parham team play more than another team. I guess it's real people who know FOOTBALL and not RUN UP AND DOWN go out to watch.
IF i'm wrong please correct me. Let common sense prevail.
