    Ayew did the same thing and was asked to apologize,actually he was give a mandate to do so or face harder consequences so why come Sulley got away with it easily.Think about it fellow Ghanaians and say your mind

    Sulley, saw he has erred and rendered an apologies ride afterwards himself, what about Dede. He was forced to do so then, so where do you want to draw the line then?

    No. As soon as an apology is rendered and accepted, timing does not count. As soon as Appiah accepted Andre's apology, Appiah should then forgive Andre as he purports to have forgiven Muntari. Adanko is therefore right, Kwasi ...

    Thanks for asking. I want to be brief. Andre was fined, even after his apology. Muntari, according to Kwasi Appiah is forgiven. Meaning Muntari would not be fined as Andre. That is the bias.

  • PK 11 years ago

    You were not at the bench when Dede's incident happend. Infact, we may not even know if the GFA had not taken it to radio. On the other hand, Muntari left the bench and the whole world can see that on camera. Don't try to jus ...

    The difference is that, Dede insulted the Coach and refused to apologise. Muntari apologised immediately after the game, that is the difference.

    You are missing the point. As soon as Kwasi Appiah accepted Andre's apology, he should have forgiven him as he did to Muntari. The timing of an apology is basically relevant to its acceptance. You can't accept someone's apolo ...
