First of all, not all those who hailed the return of these guys think their inclusion in the team will 'increase' Ghana's chances. Some of us believe that if all of Ghana's active players are available for selection, the coach has great lee way in choosing whatever formation he wants to play. It is healthy for Ghana soccer but may not necessarily lead to an 'increase' in Ghana's chances.

Secondly, the delegations that tried to convince these players to rescind their decision did not do so because they think these guys have been wronged. They did so because they think these guys have done something for the country and must be encouraged to make themselves available to the national team in their own interest and in the interest of the nation. Everybody knows that a player's inclusion in his national team increases his chances of getting a good contract. Also, the nation benefits by having a wide range of players to choose from. Bear in mind that these players will not be automatically included in upcoming games. They still have to justify their inclusion.

I don't care if you are Baba Yara or Pele! Rules are rule!!!
These guys should never be allowed to play for the nation again! As Ghanaians, we've all been brought to respect and honor our nation! These players after being nurtured and groomed by Ghana feel they are above the dictates of the authorities of the Ghana Football Association because they are internationals, making big money therefore figure they should be treated differently than all others!
Fuck them!
Ghana should not be cowed into begging any player to play for the BLACK STARS. Is it an honor to wear the colors of the Blacks Stars and oh by the way it is great for the individual players to add that to their resumes!
Disrespecting your nation's call to duty is like disrespecting your mother's call. Shame on them. Now that the team is closer to qualifying they want to sneak back in and take advantage of those who did the hard work. For a hundred years the team does not need these trouble making players.

How does coach Appiah go about insisting players abide by rules and condut in the Black Starts camp?

Jojo, I agree with you 200%. You have simply and sensibly answered all the questions for GFA and the coach. There is no other answer to what the writer has written.
As you said rules are rules and Ghana has to stick to rules. No one is above the law.
Their inclusion does not guarantee that Ghana will qualify. I for sure know that their inclusion will bring disunity. Ghana does not want history to repeat itself. (Abedi Pele's era)
It is a honour to play for your nation but these mercenaries think otherwise.
Who should play to qualify for others to enjoy.
Mr. AA must be very careful here.
It does not matter even if Ghana fails without them. Ghana will still be Ghana. A rule is a rule period. The authorities should stop setting a bad precedence for future young stars to emulate.Forward ever and backward never.

'These players after being nurtured and groomed by Ghana'? Ghana neither groomed nor nurtured any of those players. The Ayews were groomed and nurtured by France. Kevin Prince Boateng was groomed and nurtured by Germany.

Before they could be accepted back into the Blackstars,they have to render unqualified apology to the coach, the GFA,and Ghanaians as a whole as custom demands.Anything short of that means they can never be selected to play for Ghana, for they have already broken the hearts of Ghanaians.If they ignore this advice and weave their way into the team,the Blackstars will never make any meaningful stride if we even qualify for the world cup.Mark my words.

God did not make us perfect but perfection is attainable.We're all fallible but we can learn from our mistakes and grow from grace to grace until we attain perfection.
I'm sorry for an introduction that may appear to some as a digression but my point is that our greatest problem as a nation is that we've so far failed to recognize our mistakes and miserably failed ourselves, whether it's politics,economy,government, sports, etc. because we keep repeating those same mistakes.We can't be wrong and get it right.
Abedi Pele quit the BS in the early 1990s and a select group of Parliamentarians had to leave their paid jobs to go and plead for his return.Did his return change anything? No! It was wrong for him to quit in the first place and his return should have been on the coach's and GFA's terms.
Playing for the national team is an honor, pride and privilege and that's the dream of every true sportsman, professional or amateur. It's not anybody's right neither is it an inheritance but rather it's something that must be earned through hardwork and discipline.
Successful national team building effort requires great dedication and massive doses of discipline among the team members and any act of insubordination must never be countenanced in any degree. To err is human so errors of judgement would occur every now and then. Should we forgive errant team members? Why not but not until after a show of remorse from the errant team member. We're sending the wrong signals if it has to take the GFA,any group of persons,the entire nation or worse still the President to beg, plead or persuade the errant player to return to the fold.
Essien, Kevin, Andre, Jordan, Asamoah Gyan are players we love and admire but they should not take that as a weakness for them to exploit. The BS team is a national asset and none should use it as a revolving door whenever it suits their bloated egos.Any leave of absence must be applied for by the player and must be approved by the GFA and the team's coaching staff and doctor(s). Any french leave must be considered as a permanent bye bye.
The coach is like the commander of an elite army unit.He must be respected and obeyed at all times but his services can be dispensed of if he does not meet expectations and terms of his employment.The players are his soldiers and everyone of them must play the part assigned them by the coach(commander) with precision before the team can succeed. I'm done.

Your article covered delegate interventions, including the president's; player egos; divided fans or schools of thought; opportunistic-type players; national duty (although you didn't mention the role of "dual nationality," such as another nation spending their resources to train their sons and daughters who then choose to play for another country); players trying to revive failing careers, etc.

But, you failed to mention the main causes of all these, such as incompetent administration, bribery, tribalism, coaches being out of touch with modern player management, which breeds conflicts for players coming from different systems and environments.

In any event, I applaud your effort of bringing out some of these issues. But, I think you should have expanded it a bit.

Thoughtful article. To add my own 2 cents... The root cause of all these situations - Huge Egos! There has to be an acknowledgement of this cause. If players feel too big or better than their team mates/coaches etc....they should not be entertained. Players should have a healthy balance of confidence and humility and have a unifying spirit....Great Coaches and "Managers" know how to level and manage huge egos. They dont allow the situation where some players feel left out or belittled. If only each member of the team,including coaches, managers, the GFA, has this "team-building" spirit in mind (and not have a "i am better than" or " he is better than" atmosphere), we will be playing so much better and achieving greater feats.

Wait a minute!. Who went abegging?
Are you referring to the presidential act of Prez Mahama versus the Ayews in normalizing the thorny situation? OR the managerial duties of a coach who has dreams of a world beater?

Did they go brandishing a cup in hand trying to sugar coat these boys in question?
I don't think so.

The fact that they were asked, OOPS! compelled, and or ordered to rescind their decision to disservice motherGhana does not mean they were begged to do the otherwise.

Even though there are other quality players who could handle, and of course, have handled the situation to date, both president of the country and the coach, as well as most fans, including you and I know for sure absorbing the 4 returnees into the fold, teanGhana could go places.

It was upon this premise that had motivated/necessitated the need for their timely return.
They were urged and not begged.

When your little girl refuses to eat her food, you urge her to but do not beg her to.

You do not beg your wife to bed you. Rather, you urge her to do so. Haaaa

Prof. Sarskarudansfog,

I Nicodemusly jumped to the so called "Walatulization" camp knowing coach MRAA was going to insist players to abide by the rules and conduct in the Black Star team.

And where are we now?

You said and I quote: " ... I know for sure absorbing the 4 returnees into the fold, teanGhana could go places."

Haaa you made me daff. Do you, the President and coach MRAA think by having those rebellious Amingos back into the Black Star fold is going to make the team effective and solid than before. One cannot go to the science lab and begin mixing up the chemicals any how without being blown out. There are some rules and procedures one need to follow before he can attain best results. And do you think coach MRAA is doing so now, who is in charge of Black Star now, was it coach MRAA, the President, GFA or the fans now? If we ignore what is PRINCIPLES in the process of forming & building a formidable team, then aren't going any where.

You again said and I quote: "Even though there are other quality players who could handle, and of course, have handled the situation to date,"

Haaa I daff for second taam. If what you were saying was true, then why should we go round and round behaving like we don't believe what we have at the moment. Dede and his younger brother were not there when the Zambitos hammered us twice, 2012 Afcon and 2014 W/C kwalifies? Or do you think KPB is the hanza & solution to our problems in the team? Remember names don't play & win matches but team spirits does.

I was once against the Foreign coach, but I have now realized that is the only solution which can stabilize the team for progress. Because a foreign coach would not permits the President to send delegates and GFA on the other side doing their own things to dis-stabilize his activities like what is happening now.

If KPB wears Ghana Black Star jersey again under the coach MRAA's coaching time, then we are doom!!!

Haaa I daff with sorrow.

Yep! you did. And you did the right thing, revamping the efforts of the "Self-Help of the African child.
The reason why Walatulization was born. You haven't lost a thing.

In the case of MotherGhana, who from time immemorial, I mean, 50 something years after independence, have always looked up to the Heavens for manna to reign on earth.

Yes, quote me right, the inclusion of the returnees is not going to perform miracles. But it would give us all the confidence needed to move on, OOPS! the urge to move in.
By extension, we have been addicted by foreign domination. We do not respect what we do but greatly honour what they do.
Aren't that stupid and 'gyimigyimi' of us?

If you will be sincere, you would observe critically, those 4 boys, even though of no special kind would be able to 'wrought havoc' once they are inserted in the line up.
Atleast, it could be proven that DEde, Essien and KPB could be dangerous upfield.
Now tell me, can you give me any one person in the curent line-up who have a potent,cogent and examplarly skills that can work to our advantage like we used to have in Opoku Afriyie, Abedi, Polo and Tony Yeboah?
"Kruz no wO mu a 3b3boa paaaa" Haaaa.

"I was once against the Foreign coach, but I have now realized that is the only solution which can stabilize the team for progress. Because a foreign coach would not permits the President to send delegates"......

Agya Ko0 (Omanpanin) am glad you say you are going to resign upon the inclusion of KPB and dem dem.

Have you thought about the 'feelings and thinkings' of the president of Ghana as much as his position and status goes? Are you aware the many errands wrought by the coach before the impasse got resolved?
Hanza now.

Well, they both know what these returnees can do. They know what havoc their names alone can cause opponents to shiver and tremble.

"If KPB wears Ghana Black Star jersey again under the coach MRAA's coaching time, then we are doom!!!"

Am glad you have slightly modified your governmental policy to read: you daff instead of resign/quit.

Whether you like it or not, KPB is in.
Do you still insist you wanna resign? Cuz, if you do, it means your chief whip would have no grinding being what he is now. Your deputy also would fade away into oblivion. POWer gets powerless doing what he does best. Stalling would no longer get no backing from the almighty Vodka powers.
Abrantie of the house who stays off and on, could be extended and expanded forever.
The doctor @ MCKorlebu can no longer prescribe the medicine that controls the governor's heart anymore,lest he dies premature death.
In default, if you resign, it means your entire government is caput.
GHFUO and his cohorts, spearheaded by Rasheed would take over reigns of government.

Do you love your GBS? Stay put.
Don't forget we have been in government for years without pay.
,WE have been in government for well over ten years without pay.
Are you prepared to reimburse us?

Its not easy to resign due to a decision which you have Little or no influence to change.,
In the interest of the GBS, please,n please, accept the fact the KPB and all the knuckle heads are here for good in the interest of MOtherGhana.

The task ahead of us is enormous but must be accomplished.
Brazil, here we come.

Whatever anyone says, I believe we need strength in depth. We may have a first eleven, but we have problems in bringing in suitable substitutes. So if someone says that these players are coming because we have almost qualified for the world cup, thant one must be joking. We still have a long way to go. And even if we ualify, we need a more composed team to fo to the world cup. The Satelites have shown us that we rely on local/unknown players at our own peril.

This isn't the first time these issues have cropped up. The one common entity in all of the player issues is the FA.
Perhaps they aren't doing certain things right. You all should also ask them to be more professional in their handling of the Black Stars. Not just the players.
