Match

BA All Stars taken apart

0‑10 to Hasaacas, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Market

Patrick Acquah 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

A one-man rearguard from Joseph Afful

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

The terraces

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 6 of the 26 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Squad

Tempers go at BA All Stars

Felix Inusah 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

Nobody could stop scoring

10 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about BA All Stars and Hasaacas in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Boardroom

Graduation day at BA All Stars

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Market

One of our own: Bernard Appiah joins the BA All Stars first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Bernard Appiah is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Kwadwo Sulemana steps up from the BA All Stars academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Kwadwo Sulemana has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

BA All Stars say no — this time

The offer from Heart of Lions for Kwadwo Baba was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Patrick 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.

Squad

Tempers go at BA All Stars

Daniel Asante 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.

Market

Ernest Paintsil attracts admirers

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

Squad

The manager makes an example of Ernest Bukari

“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

Thomas Amoah signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Thomas Amoah and BA All Stars agree another 3 years.

Squad

Samuel Baba signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Samuel Baba commits to BA All Stars for another 4 years.

Market

Business is business: Yaw Ofori goes

Hasaacas paid $57.0K and BA All Stars took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.
