As a result, he wants handlers of the premier clubs to collaborate with the FA to devise effective means of dealing with this.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe said the practice where players and officials travelled immediately after matches over long distances without allowing them to rest after a game, was not beneficial as it drained the players physically and psychologically, and \u2018it has also become very dangerous to travel at night.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The Hearts board member thus suggested that the teams who travel to the northern part of the country to play against clubs like Wa All Stars should try as much as possible to airlift their players because the distance was very far and it was unhealthy to subject players to the torture of having to sit for long hours just to go and play football.<\/p>\n<p>This, he said, can be better if the financial situation was better as flying teams to go and honour matches brought addition cost.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is why the GFA must lead the re-thinking discourse to find solutions. It does not make sense to save cost and lose lives in this manner,\u201d Dr Nyaho Tamakloe, who disclosed that Hearts often flew the team to Wa, stressed.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 56 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Monday, 17 July 2017 Source: Graphic.com.gh 2017-07-17 Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe &#13; A board member of Accra Hearts of Oak, Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe has challenged the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to begin rethinking of a strategy that would ensure safety of players on the road.
