Match

14 matches without a win for BA All Stars

The run now stands at 14, and the questions being asked around BA All Stars are no longer polite ones.

Market

Abraham Kyereh hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what BA All Stars can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Baba Acquah runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 31. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

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.

Player ratings

Felix Addo in the eights

A performance of 8.26 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Loan watch

Thomas Ayew counts the days

“I watch every BA All Stars game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Berekum Chelsea runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Squad

Samuel 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.

Match

BA All Stars share the spoils with Berekum Chelsea

A 1‑1 draw with Berekum Chelsea leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad

BA All Stars keep their word to Thomas Baba

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Match

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

12 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.

Player ratings

Kamaldeen Boateng runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tempers go at BA All Stars

Felix Addo 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.

Squad

Words at BA All Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nana 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Thomas Baba

“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.

Match

Honours even between BA All Stars and Inter Allies

2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Kamaldeen Boateng

Successful dribbles: 38. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

8 matches without a win for BA All Stars

The run now stands at 8, and the questions being asked around BA All Stars are no longer polite ones.

Match

The goals have deserted BA All Stars

4 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at BA All Stars can tell you which week it ends in.
