Sending the wrong message

My eyes could not believe what they had just read after viewing an article that Matthew Camilleri (former Msida goalkeeper who nowadays plies his trade with Qormi FC) was suspended by the MFA till the end of January, reason being because he failed to report the alleged attempted bribery case before last year's Premier League match between Msida and Marsaxlokk within the stipulated timeframe. No, there are no spelling mistakes or mismatched words.

MFA are really doing their 'utmost' to eradicate corruption by suspending people who do their duty and report any alleged corruption. Any player or person who might want to report such a case will surely think twice before doing so, seeing that they risk getting punished for doing the right thing. One can imagine that it is already difficult to report such a misdemenour so why is the MFA removing any sort of incentive for individuals to report alleged corruption cases and try rid Maltese football once and for all from this scourge?!

In this regard, a definite and big thumbs down to the MFA!
