Dark Palm, Cat Hunters and Another Serbian

President Mills came out of the puddle like a lecturer and addressed the finest journalists of the land standing for several minutes to answer questions from our intelligent media men last week.

To say the idea of an action year is a farce is far from the truth. Mills hits his point home like a preacher and made it bare his desire to see the masses happy, tagging this year as and action year.

Like any other government function the media were bunch in number. Can we blame them? After all, after mounting courage to ask the best to the worst questions they also seem to get their token a.k.a soli. Did you see the way our media men dress, Gbovuga? It is ludicrous to see chief editors dress like paupers. For my few years in the media I can proudly mention the Daily Graphic and Ghanaian Times reporters to be the few I have come to know to dress well. Damn, those Khaki trousers!!

The media is very interesting. Sometimes you meet the genial to the not going anywhere folks who flock the streets making no sense in lengthy articles and you ask, are this people politician or the mouth piece of the public? How can anyone wake-up in the morning and say: today let tell our readers nothing but lies?

Gbovuga, why is it that our politician like causing their own titanic tragedies huh! Mill was doing very well at his press conference only to put a swagger mood over board with his cat hunter sermon. The president says his face does not look and he does not sound like a cat hunter. Gbovuga you can laugh again but was there a need for such a reply from a harmless question. Is any one saying the president is a cat hunter? And by nature the president can also recognize a cat hunter’s face. So you see my point.

Kwabena Adjei should be having sleepless nights after all; he made the comments about cats and the several ways of terminating them.

When you live in a country where your success is paramount to thousands of prayers from love ones and your enemy, everything is watched with keen goggle eyes. I sat between some students the other day and for the first time I heard our President has a dark palm. Dark palm? Where from that one too, I asked? So at the meet the press, my focus was on the so called dark palm. It is true old boy; the president is having some sought of romance with this colour.

Upon, delving into the issue of dark palm, my little source close to the castle told me that the president is having a reaction from a prescription pills he has been taking. Well, that explains that farce. The fact is whether Dark palm, green, indigo or my favourite purple, the president I think is well and we should not worry about the old mans’ health. Talking about old men, what is the whole idea of having old dogs as presidents and elders of this land? Let leave it here for another letter someday.

Call me crazy for I think football in this country is the only thing that unites us. It brings joy to the home and a unified misery to the whole country when our old men, who we call boys, troop to the field in search of glory.

What is this Gbovuga, another Vic in our mist again and this time it is Goran Stevanovic the new coach of the Black Stars. The man has been appointed to perform a surgery on our team to ensure that they are fined tuned for the African Cup of Nations and to win it once again.

Why another Serbian? Gbovuga, I can’t answer that question because the answer is with the all smiling Nyantakye who seem to laughing with his white tooth which widely sings even when he is in pain. The typical ones Ghanaians call a nice guy. Yes boohoo boohoo, my old woman is even in love with the dude. She always say that she love the guy’s white smiling tooth  as if my old man does not smile and has not white tooth. Women!!

Goran Stevanovic we are told was born on 27th November 1966 in Serbian. He started his caching career in 2001 with Cukaricki Stamcom in the Serbian top flight before moving to the currently defunt club Zeleznik a year later.

 He was the assistant coach for Serbian giants Partizan Belgrade between 2007 and 2009 and was promoted to the top post of the club where he stayed for 18 months.

On the international experience, he was that assistant coach of the Serbia and Montenegro team that impressed at the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

He occupied that position for three years from 2003. He also was the assistant coach when Partizan Belgrade won two league titles and two FA Cups between 2007 and 2009. He won the Serbia league title in the 2009/2010 season and clinched the FA Cup too.

We also told to keep patience for his coaching philosophy is heavily slanted towards the modern 4-5-1 system used by most coaches in the top leagues of Europe. As a former midfielder he is known to use his midfield as the base of organising his side, using the centre to block the opponent with compact midfield while using wingers to start swift attacks.

Gbovuga, the guy was also a formal footballer with several major European sides. He started his career with Partizan Belgrade before playing for Osasuna, Farense, Setubal, and some other Portuguese side as well as Greek side Panelefsiniakos.

I for one don’t get the romance between the GFA and the country Serbia. What is special about this country and football that we bring dudes who only come here to improve on their CVs. The Second Vic, who was here, disappointedly divorced us without any tangible explanation for his action. Let hope and see if this Vic will not abandon the ship.

Did I see well? Is Goran Stevanovic having the Donald J. Trump hair? Let see what he brings to us if not the apprentice.
