Malawi FA chief warns Ghana over potential floodlight failure

Posted On Tuesday, 4th September 2012

The Accra Sports stadium will host the Ghana-Malawi clash

By Patrick Akoto

Chief Executive of the Football Association of Malawi Charles Nyirenda has warned Ghana against a repeat of a potential floodlight failure during the 2013 African Cup of Nations qualifier against the Black Stars. 

The West African giants were dealt an embarrassing fiasco during the opening match of the 2014 Wold Cup qualifier against Lesotho at the Baba Yara stadium  in June where the game was delayed for nearly an hour after the floodlights went off in the second half.

Despite the game being shifted to the capital, the tough-talking Malawi chief is cautioning  Ghanaian authorities against a repeat of that unfortunate episode.

“”We hope we are going to get a good result without any off the pitch hitches so if our friends in Ghana want the game to be played late,  we just dont want what happened in the Lesotho – Ghana game to repeat itself again,” Nyirenda told Sunyani-based Storm FM

“We don’t really know what went into that but we wouldnt want to wait 1 hour without lights,we want to play swiftly thats all,”

“We are very prepared for the game and we dont fear names because you can mention all the names even Abedi Pele, Asamoah Gyan or the Ayew brothers but we are also a team who play as a unit.”

Safety concerns have been raised about the Accra Sports stadium to host the match with visible cracks at the edifice that was built and refurbished to purposely host the 2008 Nations Cup.

Many soccer fans have lamented about the poor state of the facility despite authorities passing it fit to host the crucial first leg.

The game will be played at 15:30 GMT

    Whether he likes it or not the lights will go off especially when the going gets tough and that’s why i advice them to bring their structural engineers,carpenters,masons etc to immediately fixed the problem when the lights goes off … oooh don’t worry ghanaians cuz their team is full of masons,plumbers,electricians,barbers,landguards,porters,taxi drivers etc so why complained Mr.ofui ceo of less endowed malawi high school team?? If the lights goes off,your striker who is electrical mechanic ll be dispatched easily to fixed it and if the floor is flooded,your goalkeeper who is a known plumber in the village called malawi ll be called upon to fixed it easily and if we need landguards to protect your stupid ass,your midfielder by name( forget his horrendous name) ll be there to protect u thereby receiving heft slaps from the more endowed policemen from Ghana who always are quick to issued instant justice to stubborn villagers like u mr.ceo!!! There again Mr.mister are u coming with your prayer group?? This is because hee in Ghana, we used juju to play football and lesotho who even brought their powerful jujumen were ko by seven haymakers to their stomach which has confined them to seven yrs in prison with hard labour!!! Every country and the football tactics it uses to win Matches ie some buy the referee with money and girls,others uses bad potatoes pitches to win matches and some use machomen to intimidate the opponents but Ghana has nor until recently when we discovered the floodlights!!!! Thank god that this is the best tactics that can easily win matches n Lesotho was a perfect example!!! Let me take this opportunity to educate u on this tactics mr ofui ceo… using the first half the light will go off for some mins(20),this will cool the tempo of the game and then after that it ll come on again but this is the powerful hidden flashlights that ll blind the malawian players and afford our players the opportunity to score quick four goals!!! Then in the second half,the light ll be switched to neon light and then we ll quickly introduced our jujumen onto the field to spray your players with apea( a seed that makes your body itches) and then the jujumen ll cause the damage by four uppercuts to your glass chin making it 8 right!!! Since Lesotho is from south Africa too and this strategy worked against them,we have decided that from henceforth we ll employ this tactics against all the southern Africa countries!!! After we have annihilate u, the next opponent is Zambia and the floodlight strategy(fls) will work again!!!!! For now do the talking whiles we strategize cuz the hidden floodlights has already being set at accra sports staduim and waiting patiently for u…!!!!! Before i forget we ll come to malawi and switch off the lights too but not only in the stadium but the whole malawi township!!!! We ll take the lights to Ghana and ll not return it until u sign oil loan!!!!! Viva the revolutioncion!!!!!!!!

    Adjieeee this dude made me laugh waaaa.wht a written piece!

  7. Selfmade says:

    @ black star tactian… thanks man and u welcome!!

  8. sade says:

    At selfmade say what we surely hope the entire ghana wil make sure the floodlights will stil be working next year n dnt get us twisted next yera it wont last long n u surely wont enjoy playing dat formality game coz by then we would have qualified.it amazing how when u playing malawi u still reference zambia.its clear it will take u more than juju 2 match the chipolopolo so instead of talking give malawi the goal feast ur predicting so that we see weather ur the ril thing you customers

  9. zambian says:

    What is fufu…..????? is it a form of the latest juju on the Ghanaian market as they prepare to meet malaw

  10. fish bone says:

    Oh Ghana listing 2 what malawi are saying concerning our lightensystem,Ghana is a nation which is having all the resource then why?

  11. Selfmade says:

    @ andy one… what logic?? Did the guy talked about logics here?? Since he talked about such an embarrassing situation which was no faults of ours and even our president deem it fit to institute a committee on it to probe it and that should tell anyone how seriously our image was dented and if u read between the lines,this nor entity of ceo was trying to make a mockery of us by saying i don’t know what happened so if u don’t know what happened why comment on it considering his status and standing!! He made it seems like that’s what we always do bit this is just one in million scenario and we were all embarrassed and Lesotho officials didn’t even complained about it to caf or fifa because they understood that we were trying to fixed it so bow can a stupid ceo just make such an unfortunate incidence?? Come on man,if peopleant to talk about football, i ll talk about football and if people want to talk about bullshit and this is my game too and love it too much!!! If people esp zambians are saying we are juju boys then we also have to talked about juju stories to them because the last time i checked using juju is not illegal and has not being banned by any nation period!!!!! Ghana is a secular nation and for that matter we have full time christians,Muslims,hardcore traditionalists,buddahist etc an

  12. Aben says:

    @Selfmade that’s some funny sh*t man. and i see the Zambians are really enjoying this new football rivalry with Ghana. so much that they can’t keep off our websites, even silly ghanasoccernet with their silly articles. please let’s keep it at such, strictly about football. no need for the insults. we can still enjoy the site with comedians like selfmade.

  13. Ghanaians are Dogs says:

    @Aben you are right, @Selfmade is a comedian and not a soccer fan. He is like Diffikoti or Bikiloni, the Zambian comedians who have turned politicians.

  14. Selfmade says:

    Selfmade army my comments are not cake,niggas can’t break,am at my peak but am not picky,mey3 kikimu,niggas can’t stand in my world for ten secs!!!! Niggas just loving my posts!!!!
