The terraces

Anger at New Edubiase United spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Market

Ernest Mwankurinah 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 The request is on a desk at New Edubiase United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

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

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

Squad

Words exchanged at New Edubiase United

Frank Appiah 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

Words at New Edubiase United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Adams Hamadu 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 terraces

New Edubiase United supporters have found a favourite in Bright Azubuike

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Bright Azubuike 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.

Squad

Jonathan Sulemana out for 40 days

The medical room confirms 40 days on the sidelines for Jonathan Sulemana, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Match

Late, late show earns New Edubiase United a point

Minute 85, against Bechem United, and a goal that felt like a win to everybody who had stayed. It was a draw. Nobody leaving the ground will describe it as one.

Squad

A muscle injury sidelines Sphamandla Sithole for 16 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. New Edubiase United will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

In brief
