Even if you ban foreign leagues, it wont force us to go watch local leagues. Ayariga, tell me, if I am going to watch Hassaacas and Hearts, which player is worth watching? Nonsense. Promote your league and stop talking rubbis ...

I don't understand why everything with the NDC is about the use of force. Why can't they use their brains for once to solve any problems.
Banning on the telecasting of live European matches on free-to-air television would not stop people from watching it. People would pay money to watch them at the drinking spots. This is inward looking leadership until you sto ...

Ayariga thought we are fools he went to afcon to steal money so he can pay and watch dstv in his home and then he wants force nyantakyi stupid league on we the poor ones. Ayariga you will fail
Kwasia,.can you compare ghana league wei to premier league? Look at wembly stadium and compare that to accra sports stadium. Ur head is big for nothing. Be grateful for affirmative action which got your dumbass to Harvard.

And what has Ayariga done for himself and Ghana? Thieving Ghana to buy a team and forcing us to watch his team play for more gate fees. Is this the pride you are talking about?
This is a clear indication that this nincompoop is bereft of ideas. The fact is that the free to air channels in UK could not compete with the likes of Sky TV it's not because there's a ban in place. BBC has tried and always ...

Just stay away from every stadium until they reverse the decision if they should take such a stupid decision. After all, soccer is not water to quench your thirst.
COmpete by improving your product.....I am not sure it is legal in terms of international trade ...damn shame Ghana...where are the Made in Ghana cars..and Made in Ghana condoms?
He is just promoting his business

They choose European coaches so why can't we choose to watch European players to watch.
Why Outight ban on foreign leagues is not good
It is good to watch the best leagues to stay current with skills, formations, attacking/defensive mechanisms, suulias, freekicks etc. Watching the best foreign leagues can also ...

WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO IS TO IMPROVE THE LEAGUE HERE IN GHANA TO BE MORE ATTRACTIVE BUT THOSE COMMUNIST POLICIES OF CONTROLLING WHAT A FREE CITIZEN SHOULD WATCH OR NOT WATCH, IS VERY BACKWARD. LET'S SAY IN THE 1960'S.
players for the black stars come from foreign teams, no local player merits to be in the national team so why will I pay to go watch players who are not qualified to play national team. Then they should stop using only foreig ...

Osei we all have to support our league. This is not a matter of freedom of Ghanaian, but protecting the interest of Ghana soccer. Let me remind of the 90s when there was no live European matches, people were filling the vario ...

This is what I have been waiting to see for a long time. After this then a ban should be a place to restrict transfer of players.
You think we live the jungle? Even there, there is freedom of choice. If you make the league attractive no one will watch Europeans
You just got to beam it up an who wants to have it must pay money, buy a set-up box and can look at it. With digital technology nothing is difficult. The GFA or the ministry of sports must ask the Chinese to build such a set ...

Countries like India, South Africa Brazil and others, there's no free airbroadcast of European league. Only DSTV is accradited to so. Just to promote their local league.

This infringement of people's freedom. What happened to law and order. Ghana thanks a million for kinds of people you elect to rule.
Ghana has come very far but it appears some people at the helm of affairs whether due to feigned obtuseness or natural stupidity can't take sensible steps. God have mercy on Ghana.
Nonsense,
nonsense...how many football fans have dstv? how many.matches do our stations broadcast? we pay and watch on.dstv everyday. boggus league of ghana is due to.over concentration on trophiless black star
