Foh, I beg to differ. Why should Opoku Nti apologize? If the field is not good and up to standard the team has every right to say so. That is why some of the senior black star players based in Europe when they come down to play on sub standard fields sustain various injuries. Thanks. THis has nothing to do with Baba Yara coming from Tumu.

I'm sorry to disagree with Mr Foh. From what I read, and as Mr. Foh is referring to, Kotoko is not protesting against playing in certain city or town. The point of contention is the condition of the Tumu pitch. I'm sure Kotoko would be glad to play any match anywhere to honor the late legend Baba Yara. This match is not organized in such prestige. So I beg Mr Foh not to use this platform to play the 'disrespect' card on Kotoko. If the Tumu pitch is not up to standard he should admit and side with Kotoko, at least on this issue.
That's my 2 cents.

You have said it all bro. I thought Foh was a lawyer. Is he saying if there are weeds, pebbles , erossion and what have you Kotoko shouldn't protest because Baba Yara hailed from there? What other honor is he expecting after naming a whole stadium after that great national asset? Am sure bro Foh read Kotoko's protest letter whiles standing in the scorching sun. Those 'people' don't see clearly in that condition.

Some people just talk anyhow. How is this disrespectful to Baba Yara. Baba Yara is from Tumu so if their soccer field is sub-par for the game Kotoko should just keep quiet and play. This mentality is very African. Who bears the cost of player injuries? The local players may be used to their pitch but not the visiting team. We are talking of the players' health and welfare here. I wouldn't be surprised the writer of this piece may be a Kotoko hater.

What is wrong with Foh Amaning? So if the field is bad they should not say it? What has Baba Yara got to do with the state of that pitch? ? Are you that one going to pay for injuries to their players?

Not Only Kotoko will play there.The people of Tumu has done very well for raising a team to Premier level but unfortunately they dont have a Premier level park.It will be wise to use your skills as a sports journalist cum lawyer to lobby for them to get assistance either from govt or private sector to help them build a standard park.This will help you, Tumu and Ghana football.Stop talking f00lish it will spoil your reputation.

I AM DISGUSTED WITH MOSES'S LOGIC. IS THAT A LAWYER TALKING? THE DUTY OF A MANAGEMENT BOARD OF A FOOTBALL CLUB AMONG OTHERS IS TO PROTECT THEIR PLAYERS FROM AVOIDABLE AND FORSEEABLE INJURIES BOTH ON AND OFF THE FIELD OF PLAY.IN OTHER WORDS, THEY OWE A DUTY OF CARE TO THE PLAYERS AND THIS MEANS ENSURING THAT WHEREVER THEY SEND THEM OFF TO PLAY FOOTBALL, THE PITCH SHOULD BE OF A STANDARD ACCEPTABLE FOR PLAY FOR A PROFESSSIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM LIKE KOTOKO.THE GFA,CAF AND FIFA HAVE MINIMUM STANDARDS THAT FOOTBALL PITCHES HAVE TO MEET FOR PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL TEAMS TO PLAY ON.IT MAY BE THAT THE TUMU TEAM PLAYS ON THE PITCH AND THEY ARE OK WITH IT BUT ARE THEY A PROFESSIONAL OUTFIT? AND EVEN IF THEY ARE, THE FACT THAT THE PITCH IS NOT SUITABLE AND THEY PLAY ON IT DOES NOT EXCUSE THE USE OF THE PITCH TO PLAY A GFA SANCTIONED COMPETITIVE GAME.IF THE FOOTBALL PITCH AT TUMU IS SUBSTANDARD WHICH COULD CAUSE OR INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF INJURY TO KOTOKO'S PLAYERS, MOSES IS SAYING OPOKU NTI SHOULD SUCK IT UP BECAUSE THEIR EX PLAYER COMES FROM THAT TOWN? OH DEAR!

Did he ask the national team coach to apologize for saying the Accra Stadium was not up to standard for the Black Stars? I just don't want to say much, but please give us a break from such pettiness.

Baba Yara never played football in Tumu. Some of you confuse peoples' hometowns with where they were born. Baba Yara was a Sisala man but he grew up i Kumasi; he never played football in Kumasi. If the playing field is sub-standard and he would injure himself, even Baba Yara would not agree to play on it.

Our dear lawyer missed the point.
The FA cup committee fixed the match for Wa, why the sudden change to Tumu? that is why Kotoko is complaining.
No disrespect to Tumu people.

What an argument coming from a lawyer. Kotoko do not disrespect Yara,though he betrayed us. We have our iconic stadium named after him. The fact is that the Tumu park is garbage park

So because Bab YARA is Tumu Kotoko must play on that field? Haven't Asantes done enough to honour him?
The Baba YARA Stadium in Kumasi?

I mean if the pitch is not good should the team accept the risk to play on it because it is in Bba Yara's home town and suffer the consequences? Knowing very well that the league season is not even half-way through and Kotoko is under performing

Why do we always bring personalities into every discussion and trying to incite people . Where did Opku Nti mention Baba Yara. He Only talked about the pitch which can end the Career of our players premactualy . New Adubiase United used to play their home games at Edubiase but bcos of the bad nature of the pitch they have moved their home to Oboasi. We should listen to the message and not the messenger. Opoku Nti Has not disrespected Baba Yara or the people of TUMU in any way.

Kotoko's complaint is about the quality of the pitch as it is. What has this got to do with disrespecting the people of Tumu or the memory of the Legendary Baba Yara. I think Mr Foh Amanings comments are totally misplaced.
