OPINION AND ANALYSIS: Who Wins What in Fixed Matches?

Matches of convenience or fixed matches have shamefully bedeviled the concluding part of this year's League. Although rules and regulations have been fashioned out by the GFA to nib the canker in the bud, offending clubs get away with cheeky ease. Reason?

The GFA barks but cannot bite. With only a match or two to go, and with about four or five clubs desperately fighting to escape the relegation net, some unexpected and wonderful results would be recorded.

And unless the GFA sits up well, (I mean well) these crucial stages of the League will become a child's play and a laughing stock and the nation will be the poorer for it. For example: how would the Power vrs Liberty encounter at Koforidua look like? And with Hearts of Oak's eyes glued to the CAF League Cup, how serious and aggressive would they be against Accra Great Olympics at the Accra Sports Stadium?

Would Ghapoha favour Seth Yeboah's Dawu or not? At the final whistle, would it be Dawu or WAWU?

Can Oheneba Charles, alias Kofi Boye, look Nana Sam Brew Butler in the face and order Kwaebibrem Stars to spit twice or thrice in the face of Dwarfs? Of Course, the whipping boys, like dead goats have nothing to fear in Kumasi. Can King Faisal pull for B. A. United in order to secure one or two players from the apostles of Power Soccer? Of course, Goldfields will not spare Okwawu United at the Len Clay Stadium, Obuasi. Likewise, RTU will lose at the Sekondi Gyandu Park against Giants of the West, Sekondi Hasaacas. Whether you like it or not, Kumasi Asante Kotoko will not have things easy at the Sunyani Coronation Park. Bofoakwa will use their tentacles to "envelope" them. Who says there's an escape route for Kotoko in Sunyani?
