Your are just a sutpid idiot. In this day and age it is only the ignorant fools who will believe in Sikaduro. Asamoah Gyan has made his money through football. You are just jealous of them. Aboa bi ba!

Well reading the nature of the episode I think the platform was a wee bit not right for such a probing question however Asamoah Gyan would have easily chosen not to answer as a show of maturity but in this case assault is ASSAULT no matter how it took place and a crimi am offence. I think both did not act in good faith. The question was needless and the action from Baffour Gyan was also needless.

why should a journalist offer a platform for such a stupid question? don't you have anything better to report. you are all part of the reason why the county is backward.

It is soccer time. The journalist should have used commonsense. Controversial questions should have come before the game.I hope this does not affect Gyan in his performance today.

In this age and era, it is sad and very regrettable that some sections of the Ghanaian society neither understand nor embrace press freedom. Those engaged in this assault must be ashamed of themselves and if, in fact, Asamoah Gyan was part of this unfortunate incident, then he owes the youth of this nation a big apology for failing to be a role model.

Despite the fact that we all want to know the truth and for justice to be done, is it this relevant time and forum to confront the Black Stars players? I think we have our priorities wrong. We still expect them to perform and yet we are not giving them the chance to concentrate for the match. This is a catch 22 situation in which we are putting them. We are the same people who will blast them in case do not perform to our expectations. I believe we try as much as possible to let the players have some kind of concentration for the match. I am very sure we can surely get the forum to deal with the cases we demand some clarifications on. Unless we are not interested in progressing in the assignment ahead of the nation. If so then we should ask CAF to remove us from the tournament as we take our time to deal with our anger and disappointments, then we can re-apply for our re-reinstatement for future events.

SOME JOURNALIST DONT FOLLOW THEIR CODE OF ETHIC BUT ARE DEFENDED BY THE GJA ANYTIME ASSAULTED. THE FORUM WAS FOR FOOTBALL BUT NOT THIS STUPID QUESTION WHEN YOUR NATIONAL TEAM AND ITS CAPTAIN ARE PREPARING FOR A MATCH IN SOME HOURS. WE HAVE SOME GOOD AND GOD FEARING JOURNALIST IN GHANA BUT SOME ARE ONLY WAR MONGERS. FOLLOW THE HISTORY OF SOME WARS IN THE WORLD AND IT WILL TELL YOU WHAT SOME OF THEM PUT ON AIR AND IN THE PUBLIC READING CAUSE THEM,IF A NEWS PRESENTER WHO CLAIM TO BE EDUCATED CAN BE USING SOMETHING LIKE TUSHTER, TUSHTER,ON A SOO CALLED POPULAR RADIO STATION AND SUPPORTED BY THEIR MANAGERS, THEN WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT. I CONDEMN THE ASSAULT BUT EDUCATE YOUR PEOPLE AS WELL.

When John Terry, Ashley Cole and Wayne Rooney were all caught cheating on their partners/wives what journalist asked them about it at a football related press conference? What happens outside football should be dealt with outside football period.

As much as I condemn any acts of assault, journalists have to learn to draw a line between reasonable and nonsensical questions. Was that the forum for a trained journalist to have asked such a question bordering such tragic occurrence? GJA should tutor their rank and file to be quite sensitive and not over zealous in their questioning to forestall future recurrence.

Apparently,Baffuor Gyan does not know that another chance to exemplify the rule of law has dawned upon Ghana.
Ghana has once again a priceless opportunity to route ALL the wakame,watime(if you do not want to let it go) through the judicial system.That is what civilized societies do.It is the prescription within the delimitation of civilization.They do not take the law into their own hands and mete out punishment, because they are not in law enforcement.The journalist is innocent until proven guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction.Therefore,it was premature to punish him for his enquiry.It was not out of place to ask Asamoah Gyan about Castro.They were in Keta at the beach before the incident.Everybody is in suspense so a question by a journalist whose responsibility it is to inform the public was appropriate.Especially, since it is not easy to come across Asamoah Gyan.
The old order of jungle behavior must give way to a new order where the rule of law is paramount and it is of utmost importance.
Gyan and the macho men should be made to dance to their own tune.

The GJA cannot throw dust into our eyes. What the journalist did was not to give Asamoah Gyan the platform to clear himself. After all Asamoah Gyan has spoken to the press before on the matter. What the journalist sought to do was wrong. Asamoah Gyan is in the country to help Ghana qualify for AFCON and any question should have been directed towards that and not the stupid rumour mongering about the disappearance of Castro. The GJA should rather educate their members the ethics of their profession. The journalist deserves the beating.
