"Every legitimate means to regain our points" -H. Mensah

The board chairman of Kumasi Asante Kotoko, Mr Herbert Mensah, has assured the playing body of the club and the teaming fans to remain calm in the face of the provocation from the Disciplinary Committee, reports the Africa Sports.

Mr Mensah gave the assurance that everything possible will be done to reclaim the points since the evidence produced before the hearing did not justify the deduction of points.

"The Disciplinary Committee has only been consistent with their prejudicial posturing against Kotoko. But I assured the fans the injustice will not be allowed to stand. We shall do all in our power to expose them", Herbert stated.

The GFA Disciplinary Committee last week ruled Kotoko losers in their 18th week encounter against Bofoakwa Tano.

In the course of the game an irate fan, alleged to be a Kotoko supporter, had walked onto the pitch to hit Referee Joseph Ghartey, in helm of affairs with the studs of a football boot that eventually resulted in the abandoning of the game.
