Words at Hasaacas training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nana Acquah 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.
Andre Baba 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.

The board have answered with money instead of encouragement, which is the only answer a manager ever wants. Spending it well is now entirely his problem.
A brace, and Yaw Mensah takes the afternoon — 9.05
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Yaw Mensah provided it, and the 9.05 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Gladson Boakye, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.74
A mark of 7.74 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.
A 3‑1 win over WAFA, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Nana Acquah 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.
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.
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Gladson Boakye 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.
Bechem United will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Hasaacas were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.81 at 36, and nobody on the pitch was better.
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Hasaacas may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

4 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.

“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.

Daniel Amoah 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.
Inter Allies will want this one forgotten quickly: 4‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Hasaacas were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

A brace, and Yaw Mensah takes the afternoon — 9.32
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Yaw Mensah provided it, and the 9.32 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.08 at 35, and nobody on the pitch was better.
Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
