Match7 Nov 2026

Whatever happens, Liberty Professionals do not lose

9 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

Nobody could get near Deruo Wisdom

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Carlos Ohene 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.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Deruo Wisdom 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 Liberty Professionals this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Liberty Professionals are still strangers to each other

7 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Thomas Boakye chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

Squad9 Nov 2026

A Liberty Professionals teenager takes the young player award

Joseph Bukari is 18, and for one weekend he was the best of everybody his age in the division. Nobody should build a career on it and everybody quietly does.

Match7 Nov 2026

Point won or two lost for Liberty Professionals?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Medeama? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

Gladson Adjei 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.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Joseph Bukari scores twice — 9.04

Two goals and a mark of 9.04 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Match31 Oct 2026

8 unbeaten for Liberty Professionals

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 8 matches without defeat is a foundation Liberty Professionals did not have in the autumn.

Match31 Oct 2026

Liberty Professionals see off WAFA

Three points for Liberty Professionals, 2‑1 the final word against WAFA in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad2 Nov 2026

A falling-out at Liberty Professionals

Deruo Wisdom and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The terraces2 Nov 2026

One of their own: Deruo Wisdom

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match31 Oct 2026

Liberty Professionals end the wait against WAFA

It had gone 5 games. The players did not celebrate like men who had won a match; they celebrated like men who had been let out of something.

Squad2 Nov 2026

A month that belonged to Joseph Bukari

The young player of the month award goes to a 18-year-old at Liberty Professionals who has looked like the finished article for four weekends running. The next four are the ones that decide whether he is.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Timothy Atamenwan

“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.

Market2 Nov 2026

Talks stall between Liberty Professionals and Ubong Williams

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Andy Ezekiel decides it from twelve yards

2 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Match17 Oct 2026

Liberty Professionals march on in the cup

Hasaacas are out and Liberty Professionals go through, 1‑1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match14 Oct 2026

Liberty Professionals march on in the cup

Hasaacas are out and Liberty Professionals go through, 3‑3 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match14 Oct 2026

Liberty Professionals throw away a 2-goal lead

2 in front and in complete control, and it finished with Hasaacas the happier side. There is no version of this afternoon that Liberty Professionals will enjoy reviewing.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Divine Chidera keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Liberty Professionals may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Isaac Boateng breaks a bone — 29 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 29 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Both of them Jonathan Mensah's — 8.28

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.28, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Joseph Bukari, 18, plays like he has been here for years — 7.79

A mark of 7.79 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 18-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Match17 Oct 2026

4 matches without a win for Liberty Professionals

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Liberty Professionals are no longer polite ones.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad21 Sep 2026

Isaac Boateng breaks a bone — 61 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 61 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

No sign of nerves from Joseph Bukari at 18 — 8.15

The hardest thing about being 18 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Joseph Bukari did not need any: 8.15, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Liberty Professionals

Deruo Wisdom 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.

The terraces21 Sep 2026

The crowd has taken to Jonathan Mensah

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match19 Sep 2026

Joseph Bukari the difference as Liberty Professionals beat New Edubiase United

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Joseph Bukari. 2‑0 against New Edubiase United, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Jonathan Wakaso was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.35. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Thomas Boakye kept it short after the 2‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Abdul Baba 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.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Emmanuel Adjei makes his debut at 17

At 17 years old, Emmanuel Adjei became the latest name off the academy production line to be handed a senior shirt.
