The dugout15 Apr 2030

Isaac Paintsil: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Hasaacas have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market15 Apr 2030

Isaac Sulemana has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Hasaacas they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad15 Apr 2030

Nana Paintsil 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 Hasaacas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad15 Apr 2030

A row about effort at Hasaacas

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Tshepang Makara was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Bernard Schlupp gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Bernard Schlupp is on it.

The dugout15 Apr 2030

Yaw Dankwah 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.

Match2 Jan 2030

Hasaacas march on in the cup

Aduana Stars are out and Hasaacas go through, 4‑1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings7 Jan 2030

A brace, and Nana Paintsil takes the afternoon — 9.17

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Nana Paintsil provided it, and the 9.17 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings7 Jan 2030

Bernard Schlupp scores twice — 9.05

Two goals and a mark of 9.05 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad7 Jan 2030

A one-man rearguard from Abdul Ayew

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad7 Jan 2030

Emmanuel Asamoah is named among the best

There are footballers who have a good season and footballers a season is remembered for, and the second kind get their names read out in a hall in the summer. Hasaacas will be quietly delighted and privately nervous.

Match5 Jan 2030

Hasaacas cannot stop winning

4 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad7 Jan 2030

Bernard Schlupp is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.45 with 14 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Market7 Jan 2030

Isaac Sulemana has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Hasaacas they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match23 Apr 2029

Nobody above Hasaacas

First, on 74 points. The table is a fact and a fact is allowed to be enjoyed, which is as far as anybody at the club is prepared to go in public.

The dugout23 Apr 2029

Jeffrey Atiemo keeps the receipts

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

Market23 Apr 2029

Isaac Sulemana is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Hasaacas is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad23 Apr 2029

Isaac Paintsil 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 Hasaacas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad23 Apr 2029

A row about effort at Hasaacas

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Thomas Ofori was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
