Ghana FA to involve military for Premier League games
By Ameenu Shardow
Aduana Stars Operations officer George Gyawu has kicked against the Ghana FA’s decision to beef up security at selected match venues deemed to be volatile.
The Ghana FA as part of its efforts to rid the local game off hooligans have employed the use of military personnel at grounds noted for their notoriety.
But the Aduana Stars chief who witnessed such unfortunate scenes in their last Premier League outing at Dwarfs says the decision to select only ‘troubled spots’ is not far reaching enough.
“I understand the Ghana FA is doing its best to solve the problem of hooliganism but this decision for me is not appropriate,” he told GHANAsoccernet.com.
“For instance we travelled to Cape Coast in what was to be a purely clean game but in the end turned out to be the most troubled venue that week.
“My point is, reserving special treatment for few venues will mean the others will run into unguarded chaos.
“I believe beefed up security at all venues with the military will better ensure there is no room for such violence to occur.”
An unfortunate trend of attacks on match officials is beginning to emerge in the Premier League.
There were several reports of violence in the last round of matches with the Robert Mensah Stadium in Cape Coast the most culpable.

Gyawu shd be ashamed of himself.u now need protection bcoz of what u and your so called ‘OGYa’ fans have been doin to other supporters.I support e GFA on dis decision,they shd select some matches and brief up security as qlready said,simple.
Eeiiii this be Special Forces ooooo. Make i run oooo.
Fuck whoever opposes this. It is a disgrace to our nation
Gyau, thumbs up!! I think the gfa should mention the names of the so called troubled venues, so that we shall knw what 2 say whn another unfortunate incidence happens. It would b ridiculous if the baba yara stadium is not included in such a list. Officials of chelsea were beaten, metro tv’s gadgets were destroyed, commentators were on the receiving end, aduana supporters were beaten among others events at the baba yara stadium. Personally if such incidence occured in the nations ”second wembley” so to speak, i believe they can occur anywhere in gh. I therefore challenge the fa to reconsider their decision and should not restrict such security officers to specific venues. Gfa pls put your thinking cups on. Dont wait before its too late as it was in the may 9 mess.
What’s wrong with some forumers and their struggle with reading comprehension.So-called Obede and AA,what don’t you understand about George Gyawu’s concern. George Gyawu is simply asking the GFA to beef up security at all venues and not only those perceived to be dangerous. The man is not totally against this security proposals but asking the initiative to be expanded. It’s becoming increasingly clear that some Ghanaians and to a larger extent have reading difficulty.I use to ignore the cry about our falling educational standards but it seems I was in the minority. Obede,AA and others,please try reading slowly or reading multiple times in order to get what’s being said! Moreover, spare those you disagree with your foul mouth/profanities!Again, Mr Gyawu is not totally opposed to the new security arrangements but would like to see it implemented at all league venues. May God help us all!
It should be for now dangerous areas first before extending it to other areas so Mr Gyawu should accept it and shut up.
DonSelf, your insinuations and baseless allegations have no merit. Baba Yara Stadium is no dangerous venue and that’s a solid fact! We know how you all Kotoko haters are suffering and can’t accept the fact that Kotoko is supreme and can’t be caught!If I were you,I’ll be concrened about your Laryea Kingston’s hooliganism and your Hearts dwindling fortunes. Fabulous,the best!
