Marked for Jonathan Waris

Match23 Oct 2027
12 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

5 matches without a win for Hasaacas
The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Hasaacas are no longer polite ones.

Nana Mohammed 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.

Jeffrey Annan 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.
The terraces25 Oct 2027
At 22 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.
Squad25 Oct 2027
The manager makes an example of Amos Ofori
“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.
Player ratings25 Oct 2027
Ninety minutes of Jeffrey Annan at his very best
Marked 8.07. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Hasaacas.
Match23 Oct 2027
It needed Jeffrey Annan to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against Inter Allies, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.
Squad25 Oct 2027
Jonathan Waris dropped after a run of poor form
The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

No end in sight to Hasaacas's wait for a win
4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Hasaacas has to find a result from somewhere.

Hasaacas cannot find the net
4 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Hasaacas are taken apart by Aduana Stars — and the town wants answers
It finished 0-6. 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.
Squad11 Oct 2027
Kwame Inusah: that is not what I was promised
