Say something positive at least for ones. What result did you bring to Ghana football when you were the GFA president?

Nyaho can never be forgotten for his immense positive contributions to Ghana soccer? During his short term in office was the fall of the executive committee powers which was dictating the affairs of our soccer thus destroying every positive move the GFA takes. Nyaho fought all by himself, though he was kicked out, the success he chalked by dismantling those executive powers, paved way for a smooth Nyantakyi and co's administration. Nyaho was the very one who put Ghana's quest for a world cup appearance on course. Get your facts right.

It is very true. The other day i watched a game /football tournament between Ashanti Kotoko fc and Bechem Chelsea. The score was 3 -0 in favour of Chelsea. I was bitterly disappointed in terms of the standard of the game as compared to a game i watched between two teams from Zambia, Copper Dynamos FC and another team.

The football field at Bechem, to me, was below standard. The ball was moving aroud as if it was over inflated. I suspect, it was due to the condition of the park. It reminded me of the park we used to play on in the early 1960's at 'Ahenboboano' in Kumasi.

I might be wrong but i find the Glo footbal league not interesting. I am imagining who far the Blackstars will reach in South Africa.

All the same, i wish the team all the best.

I THINK ITS TIME THE GFA N THE SPORTS MINISTRY TOOK CONCRETE STEPS TO HALT THE PLAYER EXODUS WE R CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING IN GH. LOOK AT TE EDUBIASE PLAYERS WHO WENT TO SOUTH AFRICA? ITS REALLY SAD...FOR GH AND THEIR CLUBS. THE QUALITY OF OUR LEAGUE. OUR ELSERS HAVE A SYAING AND IT GOES...WHEN TIMES CHANGE , U HAVE TO CHANGE. EVEN THE TREE BOWS WHEN IT BECOMES WINDY, SO IT DOSENT BREAK. ITS TIME TO INSTITUTE A MANDATORY 3 YR MINIMUM STAY IN THE GH LEAGUE BEFORE ANY LOCAL PLAYER BECOME ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD OR PLAY OVERSEAS. MOST OF THESE PLAYERS WHO HAVE LEFT THE LOCAL LEAGUE FOR SO CALLED GREENER PASTURES HAVE NO QUALITY. THEY R GOOD, BUT LACK QUALITY. THEY R NOT SEASONED. THIS IS WHY THEY ARE UNABLE TO STAY OVERSEAS FOR LONG OR UNTIL THEY RETIRE. WE NEED TO THINK LONGTERM N DO AWAY WITH THIS GET RICH QUICK MENTALITY. ITS DUMB...

Anything that comes into Nyaho's head,he just opens his wide mouth and "vormit" it.Dede is currently the spiritual leader of black stars and Appiah will pay dearly for dropping him.Mark my words.

His point is The present league premier league in Ghana hasn't intelligent players. His oher point is that Coach Appiah should be allowed to take his decisions as regards the national team. I hope you understand now.

Coach Appiah's decision should not only be about selection of the players.

This should also include studying every game and changing tactics and replacing players on the field before it was too late.

This idea of changing/substituting players 10minutes before time does not help.

I watched a repeat game between Zambia and Ghana just yesterday. The game goal which was scored by Zambia was by very simple mistake on the part of the goalkeeper. I hope he ready for the AFCON tournment.

Why say something positive when there is none? What it is is what it is. And it is soooo true. Ghanaian players seems to not realize there is a thing called physics. they kick the ball like fools. All objects have flight characteristics. Anything that spins with a rotation towards from top to bottom travels up and never come down. while ronaldo and other are learning how to kick ghe ball and score, ghana players are still blasting over the bar.

Dr Nyaho screwed up by saying a different hearts if oak will overtake kotoko in the second round of the league,where are the "intelligent"players in hearts of oak to achieve this feat.The problem with the poor quality of the local league is not only the players but club management too because we dont have the BK Edusei's,Yaw Bawuahs,HP Nyemitei's and the Glovers who could turn things around with good adimistrative skills when the going is tough for the club.

If Hearts of oak will come up better and topple kotoko in the 2nd round, let them start winning before you can make your comment. I can confidently tell you that kotoko are also putting their house in order to better their chain of draw to a winning formula. We are looking forward to it and at the end of the season and Ghana football will be the winner. Over to you Dr. N.T

That is all we Ghanaians know, pointing out our problems without coming out with any viable solution or alternative.What do you expect
eating all your chickens before they hatch? The world today is a free market, which favours the advanced economies in Europe, they are buying all our best players to entertain their fans in Europe, few of this players if are fortunate will blossome into very good and useful materials that would favour or benefit the national teams, no doubt about that, and the so call local egents of this players would have made their money, but at the end who suffers? it is our local leagues that are robbed of potential talents.
Some will quickly jump into saying, but you can't stop the sale of the up and coming stars to these advance leagues in Europe, fine then, we must not complain our local leagues are bereft of talents, we must live with it until such a time that we are developed and can close the gap by paying our local players good money for them to stay. It is a situation i call the advanced leagues with money verses third world leagues,even Brazil find difficult competing with them club wise.But for now my little solution would to expand our premier league into a twenty club league with reserves playing curtain raisers before the main games.Also the second division on the same line.We should watch those who keep saying we don't have the resources, because i know we can do it. In the sixties and seventies when our population was very little we were organizing twenty club leagues both division, why not now when the need is greater?

Let's face it.
We as a nation have run out of intelligent people. Look at how we campaigned during the elections, how we debated, how we voted, how we allow foreigners to take our resources, how we educate our children, how we waste money, put other tribes down, how we allow pastors and politicians to deceive us, how we make our cities and towns dirty, how we don't take care of things, how we drive, and even how we bury the dead.

Is Dr T.Nyaho the same medical doctor who had a clinic at Tesano in the 70's?

The clinic was one of the UNDP recognised clinics in Ghana. Is it still operational?
