Player ratings

Kamaldeen Boateng runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 36. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Bernard Afful puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at BA All Stars, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

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 BA All Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

A bad afternoon for BA All Stars against Berekum Chelsea

0‑1 to Berekum Chelsea, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

Both jobs done by Osman Baba — 6.42

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 9 actions, 6.42, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Squad

Words at BA All Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kamaldeen Paintsil 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.

Match

No end in sight to BA All Stars's wait for a win

20 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at BA All Stars has to find a result from somewhere.

Market

Baba Acquah puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at BA All Stars, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at BA All Stars

Nana Paintsil 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.

Market

Abraham Kyereh placed on the list

BA All Stars have made Abraham Kyereh available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Squad

Kamaldeen Paintsil 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

The manager makes an example of Joseph Kudus

“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 ratings

Nobody could get near Kamaldeen Boateng

Successful dribbles: 44. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

Both of them Joseph Boateng's — 8.81

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.81, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

A fracture rules Joseph Waris out for 53 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason BA All Stars will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Joseph Kudus asks to leave BA All Stars

“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.

Squad

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 BA All Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Graduation day at BA All Stars

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Match

BA All Stars see off Hasaacas

Three points for BA All Stars, 2‑1 the final word against Hasaacas in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The terraces

BA All Stars supporters have found a favourite in Kamaldeen Boateng

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Kamaldeen Boateng has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Market

Jonathan Sulemana steps up from the BA All Stars academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Jonathan Sulemana has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
