A falling-out at Liberty Professionals
Isaac Hemans and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Words at Liberty Professionals training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Isaac Frimpong 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.

Jonathan Boakye is not the player he was
It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph a local paper has to write. 34 years old, 3 points down on where he was, and a body that has started charging interest on a career.

Mohammed Djiku knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Liberty Professionals, and both men came out saying it was fine.

13 starts and an average of 6.71. He went there to play and he is playing, which is the only thing a loan was ever for.
