B/A United Supporters Mad ....

Supporters of B/A United have expressed dissatisfaction about allegations being circulated in town by the Chief Executive Officer of Bechem based Chelsea Football Club, Nana Kwame Nketiah that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Kwasi Nyantakyi is on the promise to ensure his team qualify to the premiership next season.

According to the irate supporters of B/A United FC, Nana Kwame Nketiah was confident that he had been promised by the FA President because Wa All Stars, which currently belongs to the FA president, gained qualification to the premiership last year by him (Nana Kwame Nketiah) and was sold to Mr Kwasi Nyantakyi.

The allegations continued that Mr. Nyantakyi true to his promise has been talking to Referees to officiate in favour of Bechem Chelsea F.C which according to the B/A United supporters, Nana Kwame has challenged them to closely examine his team’s encounter between Aduana F.C and Kintampo United before qualifying for the middle league.

The supporters alleged that Nana Kwame has been bragging that there is no doubt his team cannot make it to the premiership next season looking at the support gained from the higher authorities at the FA, who are very influential..

The supporters of B.A United led by Jamboree Yeboah are appealing to the FA boss who is the father of Ghana football to honorably come out with his comment on these allegations as well as remaining neutral without any disparities so that the deserving teams qualify for the premiership to improve the standard of the nation’s soccer.

The supporters are also calling on the Referees appointed by the FA commitee handling this year’s middle league to be fair without any act of prejudice on the field of play that would mar the beauty of the middle league as it happened last year.

The BA supporters also alleged that Nana Kwame Nketiah says he also has the appointment committee of the FA in his pocket so they the supporters want to know the link between Bechem Chelsea and Tema Youth as they made this interesting observations that during last season’s league, referees who handled Tema Youth Matches usually officiates Bechem Chelsea matches the following week.

The BA supporters gave these few examples that referee Patrick Kwadwo Kyeremanteng and Eric Owusu Nsiah officiated B.A vs. Chelsea in the first week of the DOL which ended with so many controversies and they were the same referees that handled Real Sportive Vs. TEMA Youth derby game in Tema that also resulted in controversies in which Patrick Kyeremanteng was slapped by the sportive goal keeper.

Also referee Nsiah Boafo was in the middle of the game between Kintampo United and Bechem Chelsea which also ended abruptly and it was the same referee Nsiah Boafo who officiated in the Tema Youth vs. Berekum Arsenal in Tema which also ended with several complains by Berekum Arsenal Chairman Alhaji Yakubu Moro and recount that these are few examples and that they could go on and on.

The supporters also said they are warning referee Eric Owusu Mensah who always acts as an agent between Chelsea and other referees to avoid coming to games involving B..A United and other teams.

They said referee Eric Owusu Mensah comes to matches involving Chelsea and other teams if he is not even on duty. “We saw him in the game between Kintampo vs. Chelsea in Sunyani when he was not supposed to be there” one of the supporters alleged.

The last round of matches involving Chelsea and B.A United he was also seen in the car of Chelsea and we do not understand why a referee should act that way.

We cannot guarantee his life when he set foot in Sunyani so the FA must warn him against that.

The B. A. Supporters are also calling on the FA to investigate the cricket score line scored between Bechem Chelsea against Soccer Warriors as they alleged that eye witness at the Baba Yara Stadium said he saw Eric Owusu Mensah who was assistant One in that match and officials of Soccer Warriors negotiating for more goals when they heard B.A was leading by 3-0
