Hearts of Oak Team Manager Sabahn Quaye has implored the supporters of the club to exercise restraint in the on-going season.

The supporters of the club were highly incensed with officiating in the team’s 1-3 defeat by AllStars at home last Sunday.

Although the fans rallied round the team when they clawed a goal back in the second half against AllStars, it was not enough as the Phobians fell to a first defeat of the season.

“I am pleading to our supporters to have patience for the team,” Sabahn told facebook.com/accraheartsofoak.

"All the noise coming up now is only putting pressure on the boys. We intended lying slowly for people not to see what we are doing [on the field of play]; we want to play the game as such.

“The fans should exercise patience for us; we know how to tackle the games; and we will do so one after the other.”

The reaction of the supporters means the team will be playing a number of home matches away from home, an action Sabahn feels will affect the team financially.

But the Hearts Team Manager has urged the fans to exercise restraint.

“We are not thinking about the ban but definitely, financially, it will go against us. Our matches have been put into the system since we started and so if the ban comes, it will affect us financial and the players psychologically and that is why I am pleading to the supporters to exercise restraint."
