Thanks for asking. I want to be brief. Andre was fined, even after his apology. Muntari, according to Kwasi Appiah is forgiven. Meaning Muntari would not be fined as Andre. That is the bias.

Sulley got away with his demeanor simply because, his action was misdemeanor commonly associated with senior players who make the team tick.
That aside, he is also one of the few GBS veterans currently playing active and aggressive football. There is no gain saying he epitomizes the real meaning of nationalism and patriotism. Very proactive in nature.

Dede and Sulley couldn't be placed under the same umbrella as equal men,OOPS! as equal players. One is better than the other. That is how nature planned it.
1."Abaa y3de bO takyi no, y3nnfa mmO Baah.
2. "Y3hw3 krooni anim na yama no 3moo"
3. "sonon Ewio nkra 3na 3sono OdabO nkra"

5.Nea Obr3 na odie"
6."AbrabO tes3 Ohene kyini3, ebi didi ebi akyi"
7.Y3soma nyansani, na y3nnsoma nnamOn tenten" Whatcugot?

"There must always be a ruler to rule"

I have always maintained that players, and or persons who have served the country diligently to the best of their abilities would always want to be assertive and domineering.

The working masses, by protocol are not the same or equal in terms of personality, skills, academic training, quality etc, That is perhaps why the cake is always shared
proportionally among partakers.
"It is NCNC-"No Contribution, No Chop"

By nature, each one of us are accountable to the "order of the hierarchy" in any established institution.

A group of 'fr3fr3kObO' selected players couldn't be any different. They must know who is who from the 'boss down of the ladder' and vice-versa.
"You swear/take instructions and abide by them. "You obey before complaint" Does Sulley lack qualities of a leader? Tell me.

With that deliberate disparity created by men amongst men, there wouldn't be order in the manner things are done in a civil society: To live and let live" atmosphere.
After all, "yes sir-yes sir spoil no work" Haaaaaa

No matter how they try to spin it we are in Ghana

You are missing the point. As soon as Kwasi Appiah accepted Andre's apology, he should have forgiven him as he did to Muntari. The timing of an apology is basically relevant to its acceptance. You can't accept someone's apology in good faith and fine him in addition. Appiah mistakenly thinks that the earlier the apology, the better the contrition, forgetting the fact that sometimes an apology given after thoughtful consideration is mostly real. Here is the caveat; Appiah, after 'truthfully' accepting Andre's apology, should have come out to tout Andre's forgiveness the same manner he touted Mutari's. Remember, acceptance is acceptance. No bias.

These emotional outbursts about Aye versus Muntari, etc., do nothing but have a potential of sowing seeds of division in the team. We all want to see the boys succeed in their mission of winning games. So, it is incumbent on us as fans and citizens of our great nation to support them with words of encouragement that can unite them, instead of dividing them. Let's not forget that to win games, they need to play together as a team. No one player can win a game. Developing a team spirit requires getting along well. So, please fans, let's try our best to exercise self-restraints as we do expect from the players), no matter how loyal we are to a particular player, when we respond to a news report. Perhaps, the best response to this particular news item is to praise Appiah for forgiving Muntari (after his apology) and encourage him (Appiah) to try his best to consistently do the same for the rest. I believe that many people would praise him as acting in a fatherly manner towards the players, if Appiah were a foreign (white) coach. Let’s do our best to treat one of our own with respect and honor! Tribalism and Ethnocentrism is a colonial disease planted on our African mentality. Let’s do our best to weed it out from our psyche!

My brother, you made a very good point. But like they say, there is no smike without fire. Dede's issues started from that substitution and how the GFA handled it. I heard the FA president on radio issueing treats and deadlines while the guy has not even received any letter from the FA concerning the matter. Sometimes we have to know that these players are first humans, 2nd Ghanaians before becoming players. Lets asses facts and deal with them. May be the FA has learned from how badly they handled Dede's case hence the turn of events. And that is a good thing. But dont try to justify what is wrong. Dede was an individual who did wrong. The FA is an organisation representing the whole country who made it worse.

This has absolutely nothing to do with Akans,Ewes,Gas or what ever we may call it. Enough is enough and well done Mr. Sulley Muntari for being mature enough to say "I am sorry". It takes a real man to do that. My only advice to you is to work on your emotions by getting some therapy. It takes time to get there but once you condition your mind it is already possible.

My piece of advice to my fellow Ghanaians is that we have come a far away and unity is the way to go. Hence when coming out to make public comments ,we must be extremely cautious, think and make rather comments that are encouraging, educational and healthy for others who don't know better to emulate.

Once again well done Sulley and Big Thanks to Kwasi Appiah and his Technical team for taking such a prudent approach to solve a simply issue and at the same time, very controversial. Keep doing the good work and continue the fortification of team work in the Black Stars camp. Big up! big up!! Big up!!!

You are just stupid to speculate that AA reacted to Dede's case because of Abedi's brilliance on the field overshadowing his(AA's).

You chose intentionally not to know or state the difference between the two incidents, but to speculate blindly and unwisely.

Dede failed to apologize to AA and his technical team after the match, even when they (Tech. team) held a meeting with Dede at the hotel to point out his mistake to him. He saw nothing wrong with what he did, and felt too big to apologize.

Muntari realized his mistake and offered sincere apology. This is what AA was expecting from Dede, which he never did until GFA stepped in. Even his letter of apology did not indicate any sense of genuine remorse.

Why do Ghanaians lair and talk about things they do not have first class information on. And even if Dede did no apologies right a way is radio the medium to communicate with him? When he players are being invited is the invitation letter's sent via radio? Twowrongs do not make a right. And GFA is practicing selective punishment

Who do Black Stars belong to? So when anyone or a player misbehaves, I think it is public interest that such person render apology to us and also that such person needs to be fined to set an example to the rest of them. You cannot tell me that just because he apologized to the technical team so it's okay. No. He needs to face some kind of discipline to tell the others that it is not okay for any rude behavior.we all love Mutari but this kind of behavior is not acceptable. I can understand about the no-punishment but still he needs to render public apology.

Thank you. My sentiments exactly. If you have no ground rules, you end up applying different punishment to different people for the same offence. That creates the perception of of unfairness. That has a much greater potential to kill team spirit than the initial unruly behaviour.

Can someone explain to me why Dede Ayew was castigated and treatened on air by the GFA for doing the same thing that Muntari did a year ago. He did not even leave the bench to the dressing room. He only refused hand shakes. This selective treatment in the blackstar is very appauling and the reason Ghana has no trophy in the senior level despite all the talent.

We Africans have one BIG problem. Our attitude can be compared to that of a poor man who continually criticises the rich, and capitalism, until he becomes rich and then he becomes the LOUDEST voice on the benefits of capitalism and being rich. He will then go on to blame the poor for being LAZY.

Remember where you came from to be where you are, today.

Please fellow Ghanaians. I m pleading with u, let us stop this tribal talk on this forum, such topic does not bring any progress to our nation, it rather brings us down and backward. Africans are generally passionate in whatever we do, let us be proud of our Ghanaian and african heritage without bringing other tribe down. We are rather creating hatred which will serve as a catalyst for destruction in years to come. The Tutsi n Hutus genocide did not start only one day, if war breaks out in Ghana now, think about this for a moment, where will you go? May God bless Ghana. We are one people, one nation under God.

Coach Appiah should also apologized to Muntari for his uncouth language."THERE ARE BETTER PLAYERS THAN MUNTARI".Many friends including myself were dumbfounded when we read his statement.Appiah lacks the psychology in sports. Coach Appiah is much aware of the flying consequences which would not be any confluence of unrelated coincidence if Muntari had gone through any punishment.Coaches get fired and not players.Its about time for Appiah to refrained from such an unfettered language.Yes!!,such blistering words should not be spoken by any decent coach to a player. Particularly, a player like Muntari.

The Muntari case is a non-issue that was blown out of proportion because an experienced and dictatorial coach like Akwasi Appiah couldn’t handle the situation. The case could have been handled internally and not brought to public. People react differently in the heat of battle. Muntari is no different from other players who showed their displeasure after being substituted in match. A perfect example is Mario Balotteli. This guy is a train wreck waiting to happen. Yet the Italian coach knows how to handle him and get the best out of him. A Ghanaian coach, other the hand, will be looking to teach him a lesson and show him who the boss is.

When Muntari inquired as to why he was being substituted, Appiah could have been more diplomatic and thus sensitive to the ego of Muntari.

He is the coach and could have said that he had decided to change tactics. This I think would have been more acceptable than saying he had a better player to use. If he did, why was he not used from the start of the game
