You can check from the match review panel, the number of times we have been cheated but we don\u2019t make complain. I can mention a lot but we don\u2019t usually talk, we believe that it is a human institution and sometimes they make mistakes, we only complain when the mistakes are extreme,\u201d Boakye Agyemang noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t make so much noise like others do. But on that day our focus would be on the match and not on the match officials that is why I said we believe in the spirit of fairness and if everything goes well Asante Kotoko will win the trophy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boakye Agyemang was however optimistic with his side\u2019s chances of lifting the trophy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have already said that we are not scared of Hearts of Oak, if maybe they are scared of us they should say it, but the fact that we have defeated them to lift a trophy this season should tell you that we are geared up towards the Tamale finals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The two sides last met in the finals of the competition in 1990, with Kotoko defeating Hearts by four to two. Asante Kotoko last won the FA Cup in 2014.<\/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 Thursday, 12 October 2017 Source: ghananewsagency.org 2017-10-12 Asante Kotoko has said that they will be satisfied with any referee chosen for the MTN FA Cup final &#13;
