The GFA is a sorry bunch of inept, incompetent people. Respect the past players who toiled to bring glory to Ghana next time! How would Brazil treat Pele at such an event? Especially, when the same damn GFA had asked for the services of those invaluable former players. I saw Abdul Razak dazzle everyone with his flawless and amazing football talent at the 1978 Africa Cup in Accra. What a shame, GFA! Only in Ghana!!

It's rather unfortunate that this happened but not strange that it happened since it's the first time in our nations history. Recently in a course, I had to review the US safety codes and how they were implemented. To my suprise, I found out most of the rules were set after some very horrible happenings. The GFA thought they had done enough, little did they know that this cat will be let out of the bag. Sorry to the former players involved but they should bare with us that while we're trying to do things right, there'll definately be obstacles that will take us by suprise. Now we know and I hope it won't happen again.

POWer, Can we conclude, OOPS! suggest, OOPS! presume, believe, haahaa!,
granted that, all things considered, the senior Abedi,AKA Baby Pele, the "Soccer Maestro" have had to harbour, and or have been nursing a vendetta sort of, no-no-good rapport, a mean vengeance, purportedly wrought against MRAA over the years and has now come to maturity, having been exposed by those 'young Peles' who recently, covertly or overtly, had staged a non-violent coup against MRAA?
When Abedi said MRAA has disappointed him, did you attempt to understand why he said that?
Do you think Abedi is envious of MRAA and his Law firm for earning 20K a month more than even the GFA chairman?
Abedi could be a threat.
MRAA should be careful.

The Key to the suspicion:
1. One would have thought, the duo of the younger Ayews, having decided to take a 'French Leave' for an obscure reasons other than football reasons, they had acted alone devoid of their father's influence. Alas! that wasn't the case.

2. The Bigger Ayew, without a dint of any remorse, not thinking about any repercussion of his action in the not too distant future, never thought a wee bit about the rift that did cause commotion in camp during his playing days with MRAA could ever resurrect and haunt the family, and that his recent skirmishes in the wake of the kid's betrayal/actions against the GBS could also backfire, OOPS! could pave way for Ghanians to crucify the dynasty he seem to have created.

3.When every meaningful sport enthusiast had thought he was going to denounce the kids for their transgressions and iniquities, stubbornness and arrogance, Baby Pele, against the run of play, had done the otherwise.

Weeks of silence had elapsed and here comes the vendetta in public with the usual flimsy conservative excuse of the sinister proverbial swindler:
"Kids are grown up and had taken their own decisions.I have no choice but respect that decision".
"Kwasi Appiah has disappointed me"

3.The bigger Ayew have also shown the very bad side we already know:-
As was expected of a football legend at that caliber, one would have thought he was going to demonstrate some sense of patriotism, solidarity and soccer consciencism amidst visiting the boys in camp and dishing out words of inspiration to motivate the new era of the GBS prior to their match with Sudan but his personal diabolism showed up again.
4.To make the suspicion worse,
the bigger Ayew and his 'biological cronies' were conspicuously absent at the Baba Yara Stadium when at the opportune time, the GFA had planned to showcase the GBS 'Old Timers', as a way to motivate the "New Timers' albeit Abedi's playing colleagues. He was nowhere seen.

Are you thinking what am thinking?

what sort of arrangements did the GFA people make for the ex-stars? Any man's ego would be bruised in such a situation. The security guys also tend to be too robotic at times.I mean,they may 'only doing our job' all right. But these are not strangers. They are our legends and we all know them. So why handle them that way?

Paying some of them back for being too vocal about the recent setbacks the national team has suffered. Did anyone enquire about how the GFA top gurus and their entourage were treated? Many who never kicked a soccer ball in their lives were given first-class treatment, because they run the show now! I am told while many of these ex-footballers,many of whom to afford the VVIP ticket price were being humiliated outside the staduim,known 'celebrities' like Agya Koo were allowed easy passage into the facility! The police were mere carrying out their intructions.

I am sorry for the treatment that the ex-players had to face in our game but I encourage them to follow the team to our away games and for all our remaining homes games as well.

Good Luck to all our ex-stars.

they have nothing to offer. why should they treathened to leave after they did not get VVIP. if they are that good then they should rather be available to train young ones. there is nothing too inspirational from stephen appiah. if the system had not preevented very gifted players like don bortey, edmund copson, ishmael addo, michael osei etc from the blackstars, there was no way stephen could have captained them. the team he led was in shambles until joe tex frimpong, eric addo, richard kingston, otto addoand to some extent laryea kingson were entered and gave the team a lease

We cannot treat our past footballers this way. They deserve respect because they've earned it. Hopefully someone is listening and this horrible incident would be kept in the dustbin of history.
