Match10 Jun 2030

Every point is an argument now for Bechem United

Position 14 and 22 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Market10 Jun 2030

Bechem United turn down BA All Stars for Emmanuel Anning

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Transfer targets10 Jun 2030

Sheriff Alabani is a medical away from Bechem United

The deal with Heart of Lions is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

So close: Samuel Ayinebire Atubga’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Ashanti Gold moved on, Samuel Ayinebire Atubga reports back to Bechem United, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Squad10 Jun 2030

Words exchanged at Bechem United

Isaiah Nyarko 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.

Hearts of Oak tell Bechem United: Samuel Boakye is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad10 Jun 2030

Augustine Afranie 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.

Transfer targets10 Jun 2030

Bechem United try to borrow Kelvin Asenso

Heart of Lions have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

The terraces25 Feb 2030

The mood at Bechem United has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Market25 Feb 2030

Emmanuel Anning 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 Bechem United can pretend not to have heard.

Match23 Feb 2030

No end in sight to Bechem United's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Bechem United has to find a result from somewhere.

Player ratings25 Feb 2030

Isaiah Nyarko runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad25 Feb 2030

Tempers go at Bechem United

Isaiah Nyarko 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.

Squad25 Feb 2030

Words at Bechem United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Augustine Afranie 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.

The dugout25 Feb 2030

No place for Yaw Acheampong on the big day

He found out with everybody else, an hour before kick-off, from a sheet of paper on a wall. Nobody at Bechem United pretended it was anything other than a decision about him.

Match23 Feb 2030

Honours even between Bechem United and BA All Stars

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

The dugout25 Feb 2030

Half-satisfied: Ernest Gyan on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 1‑1, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.
