Match

Panos Armenakas wins it after the whistle should have gone

92 minutes played. Panos Armenakas found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Liberty Professionals went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Match

Nobody wants to play Inter Allies right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad

Brahim Sabaouni falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match

Panos Armenakas sends Inter Allies past Liberty Professionals

It finished 2‑1, and it was Panos Armenakas’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Inter Allies.

Squad

No hiding place for Somila Ntsundwana

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Somila Ntsundwana, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

Newton Adebayo takes the honours

Marked 7.98 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Inter Allies had the best player on the pitch.

Match

Inter Allies tear Great Olympics apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Great Olympics, and it could have been more.

Player ratings

A brace, and Panos Armenakas takes the afternoon — 7.95

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Panos Armenakas provided it, and the 7.95 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

Solomon Ogberahwe goes up and wins it — 7.77

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.77 for the rest of it.

Squad

Daniel Acquah says Inter Allies went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Barou Sanogo falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Samson Obi

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Tempers go at Inter Allies

Barou Sanogo was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Newton Adebayo

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Brahim Sabaouni falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Mohamed Hasnaoui gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

Samson Obi the difference as Inter Allies beat Wa All Stars

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Samson Obi. 1‑0 against Wa All Stars, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

Samson Obi was the difference for Inter Allies

Marked 7.79. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Match

The small margins put Inter Allies out

Out, 0‑3 to Hearts of Oak, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

The terraces

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 12 of the 20 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

The terraces

Inter Allies are taken apart by Hearts of Oak — and the town wants answers

It finished 0-3. A cup exit is a disappointment; this was a public dismantling, and the difference between the two is the number of people who will still be talking about it in August.

Squad

Real improvement from Mahmoud Labib at Inter Allies

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Mahmoud Labib is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Tempers go at Inter Allies

Panos Armenakas was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Words at Inter Allies training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Barou Sanogo is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

No hiding place for Barou Sanogo

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Barou Sanogo, and the manager let it.

Boardroom

Doors closed at Inter Allies

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Match

Inter Allies and Berekum Chelsea take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Newton Adebayo

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Barou Sanogo in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Inter Allies this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Mahmoud Labib named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Mahmoud Labib is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Match

Inter Allies and New Edubiase United cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. New Edubiase United came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.
