Squad

Amos Schlupp damages knee ligaments — 16 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 16 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

A falling-out at BA All Stars

Dennis Konney and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings

Abraham Mohammed runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Daniel Afful stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Daniel Afful and BA All Stars agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout

Christian Inusah on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Christian Inusah after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

Squad

Jeffrey Bukari 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 and New Edubiase United cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. New Edubiase United came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Looking ahead

Hubert Gyau faces his old club

Berekum Chelsea next, and one man in the BA All Stars dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

The dugout

Abeiku Wakaso asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad

Thomas Atiemo damages knee ligaments — 48 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 48 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Tempers go at BA All Stars

Amos Schlupp 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.

Match

Osman Afful sends BA All Stars past Wa All Stars

It finished 1‑0, and it was Osman Afful’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to BA All Stars.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Jamilu Nwankwo

“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

Dennis Konney runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Felix Kyereh takes the honours

Marked 7.74 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, BA All Stars had the best player on the pitch.

The dugout

Christian Inusah: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 1‑0, already talking about the next one.

The dugout

A promise honoured for Hubert Gyau

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. BA All Stars told Hubert Gyau something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Squad

Words at BA All Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Daniel Afful 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.

Market

Jeffrey Bukari 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at BA All Stars

Amos Schlupp and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

The step up is real for Daniel Afful

At 23 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Match

BA All Stars come up short against Medeama

Medeama left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

Christian Inusah: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑3, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Thomas Atiemo

“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.

Squad

A row about effort at BA All Stars

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

Player ratings

Amos Schlupp beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 11. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

Nana Acquah is off the mark for BA All Stars

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Market

BA All Stars sell their best player to Ashanti Gold

$150.0K is a serious amount of money and it does not play centre-forward. Everybody in the dressing room knows who used to be looked at when it went wrong.

Market

David Owusu 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.

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $150.0K sale of Emmanuel Kyereh

He is going to Ashanti Gold, the club has $150.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Market

Amos Schlupp attracts admirers

The name of Amos Schlupp has come up in conversations BA All Stars were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Tempers go at BA All Stars

Dennis Konney 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.
