At first, I was happy about the ruling, but after researching more about the Elite Cup, it appears Kotoko have a strong case of overturning the ruling.
For example, on March 11, 2015, FA President Kwesi Nyantakyi announced that the Elite Cup competition has been introduced as a permanent feature on the football calendar to add to the FA Cup, Premier League, and Division One League.
This statement by itself implies that the Elite Cup Competition is an official competition.

18. It is the respectful view of this Committee that if Obed Owusu was unqualified when he featured for Kotoko against Berekum Chelsea his said ineligibility ended after that particular match whether or not a protest was duly lodged. Therefore at the time Obed Owusu featured for WAFA, Ashgold and Hearts he was qualified to feature and Hearts had no basis protesting. The Disciplinary Committee, with all due deference was wrong in coming to a conclusion that at the time Obed Owusu featured for Kotoko against both Ashgold and Hearts he was unqualified. If that position was taken to be correct then at what point will the player resume his eligibility. Is he going to remain ineligible for the rest of the season? Again, can the player decide on his own to sit out in any subsequent match after the Berekum Chelsea match in order to satisfy article 39(5 (a)(v). That will be unacceptable because it will create the platform for players and teams to decide which match to sit out instead of the next official match after the third yellow card
28. In the circumstances, the Elite Clubs Cup Competition match played between Kotoko and Dunkwa United was an official match. Obed Owusu having sat out in that particular match has therefore satisfied article 39(5)(a)(v) of the General Regulations of the FA. The player therefore, having served his automatic suspension in the said match became eligible or qualified when he featured for Kotoko in the subsequent matches, being Kotoko vs. Berekum Chelsea, WAFA vs. Kotoko, Kotoko vs. Ashgold and Hearts vs. Kotoko. We therefore hereby uphold the appeal filed by Kotoko and overturn the decision of the Disciplinary Committee dated 1st September, 2015. The results of the match in question stand undisturbed. The six points deducted from the accumulated points of Kotoko is hereby restored and Hearts remains the loser of the said match. The GH¢5,000.00 fine awarded against Kotoko is also vacated. -

The GFA Appeal committee has finally issued its verdict on the appeal 'Fantabulous' Kumasi Asante Kotoko filed for the restoration of its six points, three of them illegally given to Accra Hearts of Oak to safe them from relegation.
In reaching that verdict, the Appeal committee in 28 point by point explanation came out why it reversed the earlier decision that punished Kotoko without cause.
In order not to bore readers, I will quote point 18 and 28 by the Disciplinary committee why it reverted the earlier decision that gave Hearts three boardroom points that it did not deserve.
"18.

On September 8 of this year, I wrote an article that almost said the same thing as the 18th and 28th points by the Disciplinary Committee members and Hearts of Oak supporters who claim to be the educated ones were all over me like a K-Mart cheap suit. Below is the said article reproduced in its entirety.
Sports Features of Tuesday, 8 September 2015
Source: Justice Sarpong
Hearts Of Oak Filed An Illegal "AFUOM" Protest
At the time Accra Hearts of Oak filed its protest against Kotoko, assuming even that the GFA Article 39(5) that states a Player who has accumulated three(3)yellow cards should be suspended for the next Official GFA sanctioned competition passes on to the next team in line if the first team, in this case Berekum Chelsea doesn't file, the next team in line was Ashgold who had filed a protest on the same charge.
Hearts at this point did not have any locus to file a protest demanding three points since it was not their turn. Kotoko then played West Africa Football Academy before playing Hearts.
Hearts actually filed an illegal . protest. GFA Rule 39(5) states clearly that a Player should be suspended after accruing three yellow cards and sit out the next official match. What official match did Kotoko play after Obed's three yellow cards?
The next official match Kotoko played after Obed's three cards was with Berekum Chelsea who beat Kotoko 3-0 and find no need to protest since winning the appeal will give them three goals and three points which they already have.
The rule does not state if the team in line to file a protest did not file, then the next team can do so. It states clearly that the Player should be suspended on the next official match and Obed' suspension after the Chelsea match was fulfilled whether Berekum Chelsea filed or not because the law gave them 72 hours to file the protest and if you don't file, then you lose your right and in this case, Berekum Chelsea lost their right to appeal whether it was intentional or not. There is nowhere in the rules where this right is passed on to the next team.
The next match Kotoko played was against Ashantigold who actually filed a protest after losing to Kotoko by 1-2. In the middle of GFA Disciplinary Committee deliberations, Ashantigold wrote a letter rescinding their protest for reasons only known to them. Either they found out their protest has no legs to stand on or found out they did not need the three points to win the league Title.
Kotoko then played West Africa Football Academy(WAFA) which Kotoko lost 0-1. Once again, WAFA did not file any protest demanding three goals since they already have three points or that team too found out it has no locus against Kotoko playing Obed Owusu.
What then prompted Hearts to file a protest? Hearts was in a panic because they were on the verge of being relegated and are trying to hang on to straws even in a raging river to safe themselves.
After Hearts organized armed robbery and scare tactics failed when they invaded Kotoko Hotel, beating Players and Officials failed to scare our 'Fantabulous' "WO KUM APEM A' APEM BEBA BOYS", they then embarked on their second plan, to play the Referee as their 12th. man.
After practically playing twelve against Kotoko with the Referee only wearing the Referee attire physically but spiritually playing for Hearts and losing 1-2 to Kotoko despite a dubious penalty awarded which these second division Players in Hearts wasted.
Kotoko has many evidence to get this "afuom" verdict by Hearts constituted supporters Disciplinary Committee decision thrown out and if the Appeal committee fails to revert the six points to my darling club 'FANTABULOUS KUMASI ASANTE KOTOKO' then we will tie up the GFA in court and the 2016 league will not be played.
The ELITE cup too was an organized sanctioned competition and official so if Obed sat out after three games, he had served his suspension.
My understanding is that, GFA in March 2015 met and amended its rule. The amended rule is ARTICLE 39 SECTION 8(a) which stipulates that any fine applied to football league is also applicable to the FA and the Elite cups.
Let GFA be aware that Kotoko is not King Faisal. Kotoko is a religion amonsgt us supporters and we will not allow Pharisees from the Hearts camp to steal from us to safe themselves from relegation. Even if we win our next two matches, we will continue on with this case to get our six points restored. Hearts should learn how to win points on the field not from the boardroom.

Three yellow card to a player need to stay of the pitch for the next game. Not even on reserved bench with jersey you should know better. If you like take it to FIFA court. How many prayers did you registered? Do you think GFA board members are blind and they don't know what they at office and don't know their left and right. Am a Kotoko Supporter too.
Our team manager, Kofi Ntin said this: Hearts of Oak is a big team and he will do everything for Hearts to stay in the league without going to relegation. Look for that article.

But the government is about to start free SHS in Ghana. The NDC government is toying with our lifes. Can this nonsense happen in a white man's land? The executive members of NDC do not want anybody to stand against Mahama in the presidential bid. They also want dummy people like Mahamah, Atta Mills to get chance to steal from the government. Look at what they did to Nana Agyemang Konadu. They always like 'Ofunu' Presidents.

Jay, a Player cannot play through suspension but the problem is because of GFA incoherent rules.
As I stated in the article, the rules state clearly that a Player should be suspended after accumulating three yellow cards in the next gfa sanctioned competition. It did not say in the league games. Remember one of Obed Owusu yellow cards was issued in the FA cup competition.
Obed Owusu sat out the Kotoko game against Dunkwa in a gfa sanctioned ELITE ccompetition and at that point his suspension had been served.
Secondly the rules states that the team that plays Kotoko after O b ed Owusu three yellow cards has 72 hours to file a protest. Berekum Chelsea did not file.
This is where the GFA rules become confusing. It did not state that if the team that has the right did not file, then the next team in line can file.
Let's even assume the next team in line can file. The next team in line after Berekum was Ashgold. Ashgold filed a protest and at that time Hearts did not have any right to file a protest, that is the point I was making.

Hearts of Oak guys needs to accept that their team needs to improve massively, you win points on the pitch not the court room. Why can't they understand, the team isn't good enough. Even with those points the fucking GFA stolen from Kotoko, did hearts win the league? Hearts don't deserve to be in the league and they need to accept that. They need to improve their performance on the pitch not in the court room to survive

Idiot, it was 11 against Hearts 12 with the referee awarding you dubious penalty and you still lost.
Don't even compare your beach shitting tam to AFRICA CLUB OF THE CENTURY, FANTASTIC KUMASI ASANTE KOTOKO.

I will feel ashamed the same way. Football is won on the field not in boardrooms or in the court. I will respect Kotoko even more and watch their games than watch a team who stays afloat by adding point and goals they never earned. The rule is really daft. You cannot save hearts by punishing Kotoko. These used to be the teams to watch in Ghana. As much as I would like Hears to stay in the game, I would want them to earn it as wounded warriors not as disgraced giants been saved by disgraced idiots

I didn't interpret any law, I gave you what the law stated.
Do you know why Hearts are buying their matches? They are well aware they probably are going to lose the awam three points given to them.

It is very unprofessional to use the word AFOUM in your statement because makes you lack maturity in your sentence construction. Now you exposed your poor grammar to the whole world. As a team you don't take turns in filing a protest. You file immediately with proper evidence against the other team.Now for a short lesson, you have to prove read all your message before posting it.

Point out one grammatical mistake in the article, OFUI.

Hearts of Oak Supporters should be ashamed commenting and trying to justify themselves. Hearts and the GFA will always be thieves. Your team is up to no good and is time you solve your internal affairs

go back to school rules are rules
At first, I was happy about the ruling, but after researching more about the Elite Cup, it appears Kotoko have a strong case of overturning the ruling.
For example, on March 11, 2015, FA President Kwesi Nyantakyi announced ...

Even Hearts Players are ashamed of the sham boardroom points. They know it is not right. Kotoko played 11 against 11. Actually Kotoko played 11 against 12. The Referee played for Hearts.
11 against 11 legal players not 11 against 10 legal players plus one. cheats like kotoko have no place in Ghana football. they always want to cheat and win if not blame the referee and cause innocent deaths thro unnecessary r ...

By "my understanding " the writer is not interpreting any law but saying talking about his awareness of the amended GFA rule. This is English & stop the misinterpretation you are trying to make.
Thank you Chris. You would have thought somebody who proudly displayed New York as part of his name will understand how I used the phrase "MY UNDERSTANDING" here.
If the writer is not interpreting the law then he should not come to a conclusion by saying "illegal AFOUM Protest. The writer is judging on the matter, he is not just presenting an opinion. There is the difference of having ...

you rather should check your grammer.. fooooooool... aboa piiiii.. idiot
What kind of incoherent article is this?
Why not just stick with the facts, instead of all the innuendos?
Accra Hearts of Oak centre-back, Philip Boampong, is lamenting over the club’s poor performance to the extent that the team has to earn points off the pitch in order to survive a relegation scare.

Illogical. the player never served any suspension.
The GFA is bogus like the NDC. Pathetic bunch of know nothings!
What has this got to do with NDC?
Who is this Justice Sarpong, does he think he new football rules more than GFA,. Football is played by rules. Kotoko coach should know better. Three yellow card to a player need to stay of the pitch for the next game. Not eve ...

You are funny but I agree with you.The aok tree is still good to go indeed.
For Why would Kotoko field a player through 3 games knowing that player has 3 yellows? Is it ignorance or arrogance?
Not arrogance or ignorance but Kotoko was following the GFA rules which made the Elite cup an official GFA sanctioned competition where Obed Owusu served his suspension.
Obed Owusu did not receive all his three cards in ...

The problems so far is that the GFA regulations are contradictory. Each side in this debate can take a rule which favors their case.

May be I'm wrong. How can a player play through suspension?
if thats your mind, then why do the affected team has 72 hours to file a protest after which one do not have the right to file again?
Jay, a Player cannot play through suspension but the problem is because of GFA incoherent rules.
As I stated in the article, the rules state clearly that a Player should be suspended after accumulating three yellow cards i ...

@Mantse Ayitey, not all the GA'S supports the mighty Hearts of oaks, point of correction!
you are so far the only sensible person from the other camp who has said something sensible.. God bless you...all the others are fools...
The writings of a Mental Patient!! Vey comical conclusions! Hahahaaa!!
They did the same thing to win Africa cup, hearts of oak were declared champion one month after the finals has been played already Tunisia club make a protest against hearts when the police used tear gas against them
Kuraasenii PHANTOM, we hear you, you are in USA, hahahaha. I will let your village buddies know you've arrived.
What? Have you had any lessons in English ever? What the hell is Kuraasenii? Hahaahaaa Stupid Moron!!!
Kurasenii is a trokosi language meaning, a Ho villager, hahahahaha
Everyone is talking about how Hearts has used foul means through out this season trying to survive relegation
This is Shameful and disgrace to GFA and HEARTS if you dont want to be relegated then play well. Why didnt you fight for the points and now that you are going to be relegated and you are fighting for Points. WHAT A SHAME.
Kotoko have themselves to be blamed. They were very lucky to have got two games left at that time. You know FIFA has not approved the Elite cup.
look at your ignorance, do fifa needs to come to ghana and organised games for us to play? everything that gfa does automatically is supported by fifa..fool
GFA is the one to approve local competitions and not FIFA. There is a precedent. In 1991, Hearts filed similar protest, but in that case they were the one that argued that a GFA sanctioned GHALCA completion was a sanctioned c ...

Typical idiot. If you think this is afuom defense, come up and tell us why, you asshole.
