Kotoko fire GFA warning over Hearts ruling today, we will make football 'ungovernable'
Kotoko says they will not accept the ruling if they are not victorious

Ghanaian giants Asante Kotoko has fired a chilling message to the Ghana FA that they will make football in the country 'ungovernable' if the federation rules against them following a protest by their arch-rivals Hearts of Oak.

The Disciplinary Committee of the GFA will make public on Tuesday its ruling over the protest filed by challenging the eligibility of Obed Owusu when the two sides clashed in their 25th round clash which the Porcupines won.

Hearts, who are fighting relegation, filed the protest following their defeat on the basis that they fielded Owusu illegally, claiming he had been booked four times times prior to that game.

This, according to the Phobians, should have made the striker ineligible for the match yet the Porcupines played him in the game.

Kotoko will drop to the relegation zone if they lose the protest because they will be docked six points which will leave put them in the relegation zone.

Hearts will lift themselves from the last three if they gain three points which will be a massive boost but severely damaging for the Porcupines.

Kotoko have now warned that they will any unfavourable ruling seriously and will frustrate the GFA in their work on Ghana football.

“I want to serve this warning. If the ruling comes and we get the slightest hint that something went amiss, we will make Ghana football ungovernable,” he told Nhyira FM.

“Kotoko is prepared to receive the verdict once we realize all the rules, laws and precedents were followed.

“But we sense that the system is gradually going against us with Medeama’s FA Cup game another example.

“So I will declare that if the ruling comes and we have the slightest hint of something inconvenient, we will make Ghana football ungovernable.

“We know things are happening with referee tampering and all but we remain calm for now.

“However people should be aware this is a big club and cannot be treated in this manner. Otherwise in some time to come, we will show our might in Ghana football.”

    I looked through the article or the report and the one making the claims name is not mentioned..... Kotoko as we all now is the losers of this verdict and as a matter of fact they know it themselves so they are using all other means like destroying the air through the media. Phoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooobia.... Never say die... Justice Must Prevail.....

    if you know u are truly innocent in this case as a professional football club (kotoko), why would you have to make football ungovernable? that sounds petty and cheap, you don't own Ghana football nor the league, if you did wrong unknowingly, then just accept that you did, face the dance and move on, instead you warn the FA, what crap, see who's talking.
