Thus they will attach all seriousness to the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe [Kotoko] are going to play quality football. We\u2019ll make sure we give off our best and allow the 90 minutes to decide the winner; however we\u2019ll make sure the three points remain with us\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGhana football has been undermined by perceptions of this nature[match fixing] for a long time therefore playing a match of convenience will sought to buttress people\u2019s view on that hence Kotoko will not be party to any such thing\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Godwin Ablordey explained why the Dansoman encounter is crucial to Kotoko. \u201cOur points build up hasn\u2019t been good this season, we need it[the 3 points] to lift it to an appreciable level and cement our place in the top 4. Again, we have the FA Cup final against Hearts of Oak, so we need to put our boys in a competitive mood for the finals\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 58 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 Friday, 20 October 2017 Source: footballwrap.com 2017-10-20 Ablordey has rubbished reports of a potential match of convenience between Liberty and Kotoko &#13;
