  • Ogwah 10 years ago

    Sulley should not have made his anger visible to show that he is a disciplined senior player? ... my goodness. ... then, this your ball is not for the faint hearted.

    It is just the right and proper thing to do. More especially when many people saw what happened.

    Is it not time to move on? Muntari has been rebuked enough and the public rebuke should stop.

    If you are a true GA man as you claim, you should apologize to Muntari as much as he should apologize to Coach Appiah. It absolutely deplorable to use uncouth language in such a discussion. Tribalism kills, so quit it!
