Hearts duo Adjei, Mends in ‘training-ground punch-up’

Posted On Tuesday, 30th October 2012

Sammy Adjei is reported to have clashed with Esme Mends

Goalkeeper Sammy Adjei has thrown doubt over his Hearts future after newspaper claims of an angry training-ground confrontation with midfielder Esme Mends.

The Daily Guide report that Mends implored the former Ashdod FC shot-stopper to offer an unqualified apology to goalkeepers’ trainer Abubakar Damba.

He is reported to have abused him verbally for questioning his competence.

The pair engaged in hot exchanges which resulted in some ‘upper cut’ blows over Adjei’s  refusal to show remorse.

Damba is reported to have lamented about the poor goalkeeping mistakes by Adjei which cost them the heavy defeat at the Tema sports stadium.

The 32-year-old did not take kindly to the comment and reportedly questioned Damba’s track record as a goalkeeper during his days with the  Black Stars and why he singled him out for a total disgusting team performance.

It is the latest episode in a sorry season for Adjei, who has conceded 10 goals in five matches.

The locker-room unrest in the team could derail their chances of reclaiming the Premier League crown which has remained elusive for the past three seasons.

With confidence at the lowest ebb and the future of head coach CK Akunnor uncertain, the least thing the Phobians won’t tolerate at this crucial time will be indiscipline in the team.

Hearts are hovering around the relegation zone with a paltry four points from a possible 15.

    POOR SAMMY ADZEI

    SAMMY SEEMS FRUSTRATED, I ADVICE HIM NOT TO VENT HIS FRUSTRATIONS OVER NON-RECALL INTO THE SENIOR NATIONAL TEAM ON ANYONE, HE SHOULD BLAME HIMSELF AND HIS ADVISERS WHEN HE TOOK THAT INFAMOUS DECISION ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AGO BY CALLING IT QUITS ON HIS INTERNATIONAL CAREER.THE OFFER HE REJECTED YEARS AGO IS NOW HAUNTING HIM HE SHOULD LEAVE THE YOUNG ONES ALONE. AFTER ALL COULD IT HAVE BEEN BETTER FOR HIM TO BE NO. 2 GOALKEEPER FOR THE NATION AND ENJOY THE ALLOWANCES RATHER THAN HIS POOR STATE NOW? I HOPE THE UP AND COMING ENES WOULD TAKE A CUE.

    Well, I don’t blame Sammy Adjei for his annoying demeanour in such a messy situation like what happened. The club in itself is entirely divided and indisciplined. You cannot even pick a single grain from the chaff. Sammy Adjei has all the right to question Abubakari Damba’s performances and achievements during his days as a goalkeeper, has he Damba got a moral right to single out Sammy Adjei for embarrassing criticisms when Ghanaians are yet to forget how his (Damba) howler cost Ghana the ticket to 1994 world cup? Sammy has paid his due to Mother Ghana as the first goalkeeper to qualify Ghana to her first world cup, and the first goalkeeper to win the champions league and super cup for the Phobians as well, whereas Damba has got nothing to show Ghanaians except openly taking money from illicit and seedy gamblers to influence young Ghanaian players to play it soft and lose against weaker countries in international matches. Hearts of Oaks should rather show Abubakari Damba the way out, because Damba is a JINX, dark clouds seems to follow him wherever he goes, and sit down with Sammy Adjei for some nice talks. I will always emphasize this wherever the need be that Sammy Adjei is a national hero and a living legend, whilst Damba is a JINX.

    has he conceeded 10 goals in 5 matches? pls he was not in the post when Hearts lost 0-2 to Chelsea.

    @Fresher, Damba is not a trainer to teach the young ones what he knows but to teach them his past mistakes. In fact that is what coaches represents. Damba is/was not a JINX as you claimed. Damba never selected himself for the national team, he was selected by people who knows better than him. For you to call Damba a JINX it is absolutely calling the people who selected him for the national team in his days JINX! What is good for the goose is good for the gander. Not quiet long ago when DEDE misbehaved in Malawi the whole nation came out to let him understand he was wrong. Don’t you know DEDE have people who can come out ignorantly defend him just as you are ignorantly defending Sammy Adjei? Also can you prove your claim of Damba gambling with national team on international assignments? You just sit there and accuse people ignorantly. It is high time that comes to a halt. If Sammy Adjei has nothing to prove that he was not at fault when his team lost, but pointing at Damba’s track record, then Sammy Adjei does not qualify to be the goal keeper of an area team. When Damba’s howler cost Ghana the 94 world cup, he explained what his problem was in post that day. If you think writing over the internet to insult someone who wholeheartedly served his nation to the best of his/her ability is the best attitude, then I suggest you go back to school and learn more, because what you put out here is very uneducated. Come again and come well…. Nyaaga

    @ Tanko-: well my good friend, thanks for raising your point in an intellectual way. You are trying to play the role of the three wise monkeys on my points regarding Abubakari Damba, ie, you have the mess Damba did created but you pretending as though you haven’t seen. You have heared about Damba’s dirty doings in terms corrupt monetary matters both as a Black Meteors technical team member and as a failed player agent. You are making matters worse for those employers that employ Damba, by trying to selfishly argue what those of us who are willing to selflessly come out to speak Damba’s underhand dealings without fear or favour, you will not succeed in that my man, if you are not willing to let people know don’t attempt to challenge those who are ready to REMIND people as to what a dangerously corrupt guy Damba has irredeemably been in his life. Unfortunately for you, I am ready to ready to refer your memory back to those times that Damba’s appalling handiworks did a lot of moral damage to the image of Ghana. (1) Damba lied to the Ghanaians through the media that, when he was between the sticks for Ghana in that decider against the Algerians in Tlemcen, the Algerian cameramen were USING high resolution flashlights to point at his eyes that was why he committed that memorable howler, but when he (Damba) was asked again that how did he managed to make some nice but unthreatening saves on the day, Damba was just standing glum unable to answer the question, like a goat that is beaten by a rain. (2) some years ago, Ghana played Iran in a friendly match in Tehran, a match Ghana lost by four goals or so to two, after the said match, some young players in the team came out with a well-founded claim that, Damba (Ghana’s worst JINX goalkeeper) came and gave them some monies that they (ghanaian players) should allow the Iranians to beat them and after that another tranch of the bribery would be paid to the Ghanaian players. This incriminating evidence necessitated Damba’s expulsion from the technical team of the black meteors. Can you please tell any silverware that Damba won since his fruitless days at RTU and Accra Great Olympics and Malaysia as well? Or can you tell Us any performance that Damba rendered mother Ghana that merited applause let commendation praises from an individual Ghanaian? Please, let truth be told as is it, don’t relegate yourself so lowly into that cheap business of putting lipstick on a pig. Damba’s shameful act of singling out Sammy Adjei for disgusting personal attacks and your illegitimate attempt to portray Damba as a HERO are no less ridiculous than a PIG preeing through a mirror twirling and pampering itself and BRAGGING itself of how beautiful and sexy it is, when in actual fact, it knows that it is a disgustingly-abhorred animal. Soon Hearts of Oaks shall come out with regrets for hiring the services this JINX called Damba… Kaima Nyaaga!

    @Fresher: I love to to debate and argue on educational issues and learn from them. Putting someone down, be they at fault or not is not one of my priorities. I was still in Ghana when Damba’s problems started with the national team (Black Meteors)If it is true that those allegations were true, and Damba was let to go Scott-free then something is wrong with the system in our dear nation. One fact about my dear homeland which I sang in the anthem “bold to defend forever” is that, we are NOT uneducated! And if anyone of us should commit a crime so gravely as you claimed Damba did and did not serve time in jail or band from any sporting activities in the country, I say again: Something is wrong somewhere in our dear nation. To make a long story short, I left home close to twenty years now but I still have some knowledge about what is going on in the country when it comes to global leather called football. Football administration or the technical aspect of it is not for successful players or people who did not have shortcomings for us pinpoint on. But is for people like DIEGO ARMANDO MARADONA, ERIC CANTONA, ABEDI PELE, ABU IMORO, ABDOULAYE SYLLA, KEVIN PRINCE BOATENG AND I WOULDN’T FORGET ABUKARI DAMBA. The above are people with shortcomings and are human as you know and NOT pigs with lipstick. Fresher, I do not want to write a book, but what I want to say is that, putting anybody down is not the way to explain them or what the have done. I like constructive debate and argument and maybe in the near future, we can have another one because this one shouldn’t bwe the best you and I ever had. You know what Nyaaga is huh.
