Psychologist Patrick Ofori 'honoured' by Black Stars appointment

Posted On Thursday, 11th October 2012

Patrick Ofori has been appointed Psychologist for the Black Stars

United Kingdom based Patrick Ofori says his new appointment as the psychologist for the Black Stars team is a ‘great honour’.

Ofori has been hired by the Ghana FA as a remedy to some problems in the team deemed to be psychological.

The Black Stars camp encountered some problems during the 2012 Nations Cup in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea with players were said to be accusing each other of ‘Black Magic’.

The team’s impotent run in away games especially in friendly matches has also been a source of major concern to the Ghana FA.

The Asante Kotoko psychologist who will be graduating from the Stirling University soon with a Phd says he is humbly honoured by the appointment.

“It is always a great honour to use your field of expertise to help your nation in any capacity and therefore am honoured by this appointment,” he told Kumasi-based Angel FM.

“I don’t think there is an extraordinary role for me to play but then will be contributing my quota as a supporting staff.

“The team is already intact and the technical and management team is already doing a fantastic job.

“But my support as the FA has deemed will also help so some will see me as a coach, a colleague or even a teammate all geared towards making our Black Stars more stronger and competitive.”

Ofori’s immediate task is to psych the Black Stars team to a much needed victory against Malawi on Saturday to qualify for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations.

    His appointment is a complete waste of money.The problem of the black stars is technical not psycological.
    As at now,l can’t tell the black stars strategy of play.The best way to get value for money is to use him on our youth teams and not this old men.
    They will not listen to him.

    Typical Ghanaian, critical of everything without knowing jack about it. Psychologist are employed by every serious team everywhere. Your problem is not with the technical but ur own inferior mentality, cos for people like you, being black is is being less progressive. Most of the white coaches succeed cos of the goodwill of the countries they coach, not cos they are better. Its only ignorance that will make you think older people do not respond to psychology. I wuldnt be surprised if u are some graduate from some uni in Ghana, so please use ur head and make use of that education you’ve had and stop displaying your cheap ignorance on this forum. The rest of the world will judge all of us thru some of the things backward ignoramuses like put here! Peace!!!

      @ken- It doesn’t take a rocket science to recognise a muppet and a pillock like you son of a whore.
      If Nyantakyi is convinced that the problem of the black stars is psycological then he should go for the likes of DR JOHN MURRAY,BILL BISWECK etc. and not a psycologist with only three years experience.
      If you are not stupid,you will not be making such nonsensical comments like ”white coach”,being black etc.Who is white and who is black.Are you not taking on the mental slavery status quo?
      For your INFORMATION Ghana has some of the finest universities in the world talking of LEGON,KNUST.
      Moreover l am a product of oxford brooks and not any university in Ghana.
      If you see the problem of the BLACK STARS AS PSYCOLOGICAL,that is your opinion.
      Akwasi Appiah has not been able to strategise a system of play up to today.Changing players from left to right ,where is the consistency.
      I see it as technical so you take it or lamp it.
      Your senseless and idiotic rhetoric will not change a thing.You son of a bitch,bollocks to you.Next time you will think twice before attacking me.SON OF A FOOL.

    well said ken, psychologist are indeed important to every team, as long as we reason, we’ll habour illogical reasonings and psychologist come in handy in situations like this, ryt now who do you think is brave enough top take pk for the team, i’m guessing no one wants to be skinned alive, but the thing is if you practice you get better. there are a whole lot smaller details which are useful to a teams success, brought in by these guys the coach can only do so much psyching, it not a waste of money. all aboard the train for a better black stars.
    ps: i’m studying to be one so maybe i’m being bias of some sort, idk. feel free to point it out

    @zambians are pigs, well i’m not surprised you are studying abroad, in my opinion insufferable idiots like you are the half of the reason Africa finds itself where it is now. Have u managed a team in ur miserable life before? Have you as little as managed ur relationships any better? Bloody cunt like u. If useless father has gotten enough ill wealth to school you abroad dont think in ur half assed brain that it makes u any better than someone. U just confirmed and exposed ur inferior mindset by making such a big deal about schooling out there. For ur information, am proud product of the Ghanaian system and good enough of any day to open the eyes of compulsive idiots like u. Kwasia kotiboto asshole. Son of a cheap whore and thief! Wo maame twe dosodosodoso!

    • zambians are pigs says:

      @KEN-You have touch the eye of the eagle.l am not surprise by dick-head born of a peasant rappist and serial flirt.
      What should l expect from a miserable git like you.
      Ghana qualified on two occasions without your blinking psycology nonsense.We went to AFCON FINALS IN 2009 without your stupid psycology stands.
      Kwasi Appiah is tactically bankrupt as simple as that.l am a big fun of Akwasi Appiah but a spade is a spade.Before the AFCON 2012,was it not NYANTAKYI and his cohorts at the GFA who took bribes from UDINESE AND MARSEILLE and allow THE AYEWS,KWADWO ASAMOAH AND AGYEMAN BADU to delay their reporting time to camp and play SOME so call important matches when the FIFA RULE stipulate categorically the times football administrators can request their nationals.Nyantakyi’s stupid excuse was that THE GFA has a cordial relationship with MARSEILLE AND UDINESE.What happen in AFCON 2012 IS YOUR FUCKING GUESS.In the end PLAVI was Axed but nobody mention the fact that the GFA’s medling is a major factor regards the abysmal performance of the B.S.In big tournament an idiot like you with no brain knows that every minute,the coach has with his players count.
      All of a sudden,the AFCON 2012′S fiasco HAS become PSYCOLOGICAL and has to be addressed.
      YOU PIG,DOG,SON OF A HARLOT.
      You twerp, have you now back down from your insane comment about Ghana EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM?did you not refer to GHANA’S universities as ”SOME”?
      Are YOU plain daft or suffering from schizoid diffiency psyndrome inherited from that useless man and that bitch who will sleep with anything including dogs?
      I am not taking aback the fact that your acholic peasant father disown you at two days old and your prostitude bitch motherfucker could not stand you because you are too ugly.
      How come you were sent to prison.INCEST,YOU RAPPED YOUR OWN TWO YEAR OLD SISTER.
      Idiot like you is a waste of GOD’S BREATH.God must be very disappointed in Heaven when he look down and see somebody like you.
      Go fuck your bitch motherfucker.
      yo” mama is a fucking bitch,
      yo” daddy is sore loser,,
      yo” mama watery pussy”
      SON OF A HARLOT.

Kwasia,jimijimi, korasinii, like you. Kotiboto koodey! Did u say u know how many languages? Goodness u r so stupid and vague. I dont need all the languages in the world to put you in the gutter where u were born and belong to. For ur info, i have beautiful sisters who are capable of making ur thieving father abandon his mentally retarded family including urs truly, the number 1 asshole on the continent. Your retarded father, slept with ur simple minded grandmother and beget u, fearing the worse he found the nearest gbiligbili woman, ur mother to take u as her son. I would have asked u to go investigate, but i just realized ur brain only functions when u r on top of a cheap smelly agadzi pussy cos thats where u come from, the eternally stinking GHC5 pussy of ur retarded mother. Bring it on muthabitch! I got plenty in store for u and ur coaltar family. I shit in ur halitosis mouth. Kwasia kotiboto, tweba. Next time smell ur armpit and mouth before replying cos i intend to let ur ashawo mother beg all night before i give her some of my holy sperms. Go find out the colour of ur ashawo mother’s stinking,kaaklo pussy and tell me about it. Dont try to lie cos I KNOW! AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Eagle indeed. An apology of a human being.

    Zambians are pigs and Ken: You are both very enlighten personalities to be fussing ignorance as if we are in some Kajetia lungu where we have these young men who has never set foot in a classroom butcan speak intelligently and wiser than most both foreign and domestic graduates such as yourselves. We have children who are on this forum not only to read about soccer but to learn manners and decency. Enough of the insults, please!!!!
