“There’s no need crying over spilt milk” - Odartey Lamptey
Former Ghanaian international, Nii Odartey
Lamptey, says Ghanaian football fans need to
forgive the Black Stars adding that the harm has
already been done and the best thing to do is to
ensure that it never repeats itself.

The Black Stars failed to live up to the
expectation of the fans at the last World Cup as
they did not get pass the first round.

This by far angered many soccer fans who have
decided to withdraw their support for the Black
Stars, and they made that known in the Stars' last
game against Uganda at the Baba Yara stadium a
month ago.

But Odartey Lamptey knows too well the
repercussions of the fans withdrawing their
support for the playing body.

“Football is a total game that has to do with
all the stakeholders involved. The coaches cannot
do without the players and the players as well
cannot do without the supporters and it's a fact
that no one can change,” Odartey Lamptey told
sportscrusader.com.

“In life people will hurt you beyond your
wildest imagination, but in all that you must
learn to forgive to move on otherwise the hurt and
pain will get the best of you and it will even
affect the offender and that will not help
anybody.”

“I have been hearing a lot of things about the
players and how they felt after the Uganda match,
and I can confidently say that they have regretted
their actions. I can’t say much, but all I will
appeal to my fellow Ghanaians is that they should
just throw their weight behind them and forget all
that happened in Brazil.”
