From our football correspondent Steady

The terraces

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 11 of the 29 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Match

Liberty Professionals refuse to drop out of the race

Position 3, 43 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Market

Jeffrey Amoah asks to leave Liberty Professionals

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings

A chastening introduction for Samuel Atiemo — 5.80

It is a hard way to meet a crowd. Marked 5.80 on the day he was handed the shirt, and the important thing now is what the next one looks like.

Squad

A move Lebogang Grobler would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Lebogang Grobler is living that version at Liberty Professionals, and it tends to show in the first month.

Market

Only the photograph left for Francis Boateng

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Francis Boateng will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Liberty Professionals the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Match

Liberty Professionals come up short against Hearts of Oak

Hearts of Oak left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Gladson Sulemana 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

Tempers go at Liberty Professionals

Ernest Annan 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.

In brief
