Squad25 Jan 2027

Abeiku Paintsil keeps Hasaacas in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market25 Jan 2027

Abdul Annan asks to leave Hasaacas

“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.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Defences have started doubling up on Kamaldeen Baba

16 goals and a season average of 7.28 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Squad25 Jan 2027

A falling-out at Hasaacas

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

Match23 Jan 2027

Asante Kotoko take the points off Hasaacas

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings25 Jan 2027

Jonathan Appiah 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.

The dugout25 Jan 2027

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑2 David Paintsil left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad25 Jan 2027

A row about effort at Hasaacas

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

The dugout25 Jan 2027

Abdul Annan gets it from the manager

“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.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Abeiku Paintsil stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Match21 Nov 2026

Abeiku Owusu’s goal not enough for Hasaacas

Abeiku Owusu scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Ashanti Gold, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad23 Nov 2026

A falling-out at Hasaacas

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

The dugout23 Nov 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by David Paintsil to a room that had heard them before.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Hensen Anponsa 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.

Looking ahead23 Nov 2026

A test against the best for Hasaacas

The team at the top of the table next, and the honest measure of where this side actually is. Anybody can beat the club below them; the question is what happens against Hearts of Oak.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

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.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Joseph Essien has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Hasaacas will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.
