I wonder why pple come here to insult
This site is for soccer and other games
Yet some pple with funny names
Come here with no aim
I want to plead
When you come here to read
Don’t make comments that breed
Any tribal,ethnic,racial or national sentiments
For we are only but an element
Of this life
Only the best for GH Soccer we shd strive
To achieve that common goal
Please don’t insult
