Not again

As we contemplated our most most recent loss we were told by a supporter, "You are the coaches, you should be sacked." With the criticisms still on my mind after Wednesdays dissapointing defeat it was on to another crucial match where only a victory could keep our promotion hopes alive. Our team minibus was met by another of our 'supporters' as we arrived at LA Aviation Park warning us that, 'If we lose I will smash up the bus'. I was inclined to believe the man as he held a baseball bat in his hand! I took the only option available to me and assured him that today we would win.

The game started slowly with the scores level at 0-0 after 36 minutes, neither side had really had a clear chance. Out of nowhere a fight had kicked off along the touchline from where I was standing, this is not particularly rare and it seemed the game would go on. It then became clear that a number of the opposing supporters had begun to attack the Linesman, punches were being thrown towards him. After a short time the linesman emerged from the melee with cuts to his face.

The trouble continued on the sidelines as stones were being thrown by the home fans. This is not professional football with thousands of supporters; the average game will probably see a crowd of about 100 people with around 10 travelling to watch the game for the away team. As the situation calmed the officials left the park and the game was brought to a premature end. The week has once again begun with an appeal to the Ghanaian FA to award Cantonments the 3 points.
