The wait goes on for BA All Stars
12 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Afriyie Essien
102 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. BA All Stars lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Joseph Nuhu 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 The request is on a desk at BA All Stars, and it is not being withdrawn.

Abeiku Kyereh has seen enough of Inter Allies
“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at BA All Stars, and 2 appearances in 17 say he has earned the hearing.

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

No hiding place for Abeiku Schlupp
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Abeiku Schlupp, and the manager let it.

Nobody could get near David Sulemana
Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
