Ghanasoccernet's Akeyeroko Frimpong Manson has waded into the argument of what should be done to three Black Stars players that absented themselves for last Wednesday's friendly against Angola.

Various football fanatics in the country have passed comments and are still sharing their opinion on the kind of punishment that should be melted out to Essien, Muntari and Gyan.  

As I scrolled through comments written by passionate Ghanaians both home and abroad who every now and then surf for news here, I was enthralled by the level of fury and agitation mounting.

Former FA chief Dr. Dr Nyaho Tamakloe has gone straight-forward on the issue.

"I will call on the FA to immediately dismiss the three boys from the national team. I believe strongly they will never put up such behaviour in their respective clubs in Europe"

After weighing the thoughts and comments of readers on our most authenticated news network, listening to Dr Nyaho Tamakloe share his opinion on the issue.

Finally listening to what the Ghanaian soccer loving fan has to say on radio, I see it very important to do an introspective analysis of indiscipline in our national team (BLACK STARS) and the impact it will have on our performance in the impending Angola 2010.

Century old-act highlighted again:

In my own opinion, I believe this issue has heightened because of the pedigree of the entire team on the international arena.

Late arrival of players for matches has been extinct and unity being the corner stone of the team’s improved form, one aching problem which used to live in the corridors of the team is drawing its ugly head up again.

Sulley Muntari has been the guiltiest of this offends.

The Internacional midfielder has already set an indisciplinary track-record for himself.

I might sound a little rude but that is how I am supposed to describe the hard tackling midfielder. 

He was sent home by then coach Mariano Barreto in charge of the Black Meteors team in Athens 2004.

The Portuguese expelled the then Udinese man for breaking campus rules.

Who knew he was going to change his mind when he came out publicly to declare that he had quit wearing the national colours.

He changed his mind though, but was later followed with a similar behaviour just a year later.

In  qualifying for the Germany 2006, this same man was among some players who left camp for “disco” on the eve of a qualifier against Congo at the then Kumasi Sports Stadium.

The Black Stars picked a draw instead although a possible three.

Former Liverpool striker Milan Baros, Martin Fenin, Vaclav Sverkos, West Ham’s Radoslav Kovac and Reading's Marek Matejovsky were banned indefinitely for just visiting a restaurant after the Czech Republic lost 2-1 at home to Slovakia in their world cup qualifier.

Disciplinary track records of most brilliant players have denied them access to their national team, talk of Cantona, Edmundo and the likes.

Yet Sulley had not suffered the fate of any of these renowned players. 

Essien also had his fair share of blames in terms of national team commitment when he allegedly failed to turn up for the Egypt 2006 Nations Cup.

A change in attitude-higher commitment to national games, arrivals on time has won him the heart of all Ghanaians.

I am wondering what they are going to say this time around.

Maybe and just maybe: "They should be shoveled and cutlassed"-As suggested harshly by one of the readers here.

What about Gyan? If not squandering begging chances or scoring a heart-touching goal such as the one against Senegal in London two years ago or that cracker against Japan last month in the Netherlands, the former Liberty Professionals striker will not be in the news.

If my memory serves me right, Gyan is not someone you can associate indiscipline with.

But what happened? Time will tell. Who will accept his somewhat flimsy excuse?

Stade Rennes sent in a fax demanding his immediate presence in France.

I just can't understand. Even if so,how can you leave camp without the consent of the head coach or any of the GFA officials who he claims had received the fax.

From what I have learnt, the FA sent a request for the 23-year-old for both the Mali and Angola games. 

How possible could they turn around and demanded the same player they had granted the request to be with the national team.

Maybe and just maybe ''baby Jet'' must find another suitable excuse to cool tempers down.  

Daniel Coleman was booted out of the team.

The holistic measure:

LEAVE THEM ALONE!!! No fish and chips about this.

Any kind of punishment with the exception of fine will be a big blow in our nation’s cup ambitions.

After investigation into the issue if found guilty which I believe they are already, must be made to forfeit their winning bonuses for a certain number of matches.

I do not know to the extent how a missed 15,000 dollars is going to disturb any of the three.

Perhaps Gyan will rave over it, who knows? This punishment is quite good but goof, only if we are willing to play only games against the Ivory Coast, Togo and Burkina Faso.

We will pay the penalty should they be banned for a specific number of games, knowing that our next Caf organised game will be the Nation's Cup.

Meaning there will be no Asamoah Gyan, Michael Essien or Sulley Muntari-who I believe will not be missed at all.

A disguised devilish deed full of Godly blessing:

"Am I crazy? Or perhaps I hate "Money-in-tari’ with passion".

That is not the issue. Can we get a complete sub for Gyan? No! Is there a player in the team who can work with that same rate as that of Ess?

Not a single player! I need not put it on board. Kwadwo Asamoah can do whatever ‘Money-in-tari’ can do. Eyebrows will be the doubt of a good replacement.

Let's save ourselves the hassle of brain raking exercise and do an analytical analogy.

"Money-in-tari" has enjoyed the left side of midfield since displacing controversial Bernard Don Bortey way back 2005 on a same disciplinary grounds.

The humble lion was forced out. In my opinion I see the absence of Muntari as a great opportunity for Milo to build a more refine trust in Kwadwo Asamoah.

A player whose work rate has been the talk of the Italian Serie A after Pasquele Marino gave him the chance to shine in Udine.

His thunderbolt against Mali will shut the talking mouths-raving at his experience.

What about his performance in Omdurman? A key replacement can be found in Andre Ayew.

The loanee Marseille man proved the stuff he is made in Luanda last Wednesday-only the crossbar denied him his derby goal for the Black Stars.

Amoah did not shine in Mali 2002. Hope you have not forgotten he was in top shape netting week-in-week-out for Vitesse Arnhem.  

Isaac Boakye was doing all the magic. Although he scored one of the best goals of Egypt 2006 against Senegal, Amoah cannot be relied upon.

He is not a 'tournament player.' Was he even present in the Germany 2006? Yes! Completely anonymous!!

With Tagoe still struggling to overcome his emotional trauma at Sinsheim, Baden Württemberg, it will be some sort of self inflicted wound and suicidal should to leave out Gyan out of the Nation's Cup squad.

Adiyiah is not a fully-fledged striker. Sure, he showed what he can do in Egypt but we should not forget what happened to Prince-of-Goals-Tagoe nearly four years ago in the land of the Pharaohs.

Ball control was hard. No tap-ins again for Agogo.

Angola is going to be a cooper test for the team and a litmus test as well. How easy is it going to be for Amoah against Kolo Toure or even Eboue?

No easy intelligence, absolutely not. Kolo Toure and Eboue have played against masters of intelligence.

More midfielders are assembling; Quincy has clicked into gear in Russia.

The FA has also gone far with Jeffery Sarpong. Good! They are fine players!

Players we need in the future Black Stars and not 2010 when we are so much interested in winning laurels and very hungry for success.

Oooh! Qunicy has already been in the team.

Carlo Ancelotti could not resist the Ess influence. Agyemang Badu can also tackle hard and sometimes win balls in midfield, but the all important question is, can we match Badu’s work rate to that of Ess fairly? No never.

Ess is feared by any world class midfielder he comes up against. Chapter closed.

Without him our midfield which happens to be our strongest department is depleted and so shambolic.  

I see this as a blessing in disguise. Milo has already taken the pills of late substitute.

I do not believe Gyan, Essien or Muntari would have been benched for any of the new guys to start.

Here he had the chance to better access Adiyiah, Agyemang-Badu and Andre Ayew.

So, Mohammed Polo has said it all, disaster will strike should the axe be raised.
