    COMMON SENSE DICTATES THAT SULLEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE TO APOLOGISE TO THE COACH N FA PRESIDENT NOT ARMAH WHO WAS A PARTY TO THE FIGHT

    Appiah, I'm sorry, this one I completely disagree with you. Players representing a nation do not hold allegiance to other players. Thier allegiance is to the nation. When Ben Kofie dissolved that CK Akonnor, Sammy Kufour team ...

    I side with you bro. Whatever it was that provoked Muntari, he had no reason to engage in a fist fight. If your dad does something you really don't like, it gives you no license to slap him. You can't slap someone's dad for a ...

    Your comment rather is a total none sense . Sulley was fighting for the entire team. The players should have stood by him. Do you call that allegiance? Mr Whatever?Think.

    Sulley was not only fighting for the team, he was also fighting for you and me. Look at the stupidity displayed by our officials. They carried physical cash( millions of US dollars ) and displayed our stupidity in public. The ...

    REMEMBER THIS WAS NOT HIS FIRST TIME BUCKING THE AUTHORITY. HE IS SERIAL PROBLEM. NO TIME TO EXCUSE SOMEONE WHO PUTS GHANA IN WORLD DISREPUTE. LEAVE THE GUY TO ROT WHEREEVER HE IS. NO EXCUSES FOR HIM EVEN IF HE IS MESSI

    As much as I like him as a player, he has caused problems in camp before. It would be different if he was a first time offender.

    We never ask the right questions. All the GFA wants is to repair their bruised ego. How about finding out what may have pushed him to assault an official, to prevent it from happening again?

  • Yanugu 8 years ago

    Is Appiah saying the other players should have joined in the fight and beat the GFA and government officials to pulp. Muntari have no right for so ever to trow blow no matter the provocation. The others were just wise.

  • Esi 8 years ago

    This is exactly what Appiah was speaking of. You weren't there and you have already jumped to conclusions. Appiah is saying we should get to the bottom of the issue and not find band-aid solutions. I bet you if we don't, it w ...
