Asante Kotoko coach David Duncan says he will not have some sports journalists distract his attention of achieving his set target.

Kotoko are without a win after playing two games in the ongoing Ghana Premier League.

Duncan has been criticized with some suggesting that he is not even fit for the Kotoko job.

But the former Hearts trainer at a press conference ahead of their outstanding match day-2 game with Ashanti Gold on Tuesday noted most people criticizing him are not fit to do so.

“If I respect you as a journalist and you do something that I think you didn’t get right that is when I try to discuss with you because for some of you who perhaps do not know my background I have a little bit of journalistic background, not a trained journalistic background but it was like we just performed it without knowing,” said Duncan

“I respect journalists but I know we have had quite a number of people not doing things right but I won’t fault them because maybe they choose to do it that way as their style.

“But I have heard that under so many circumstances, oh they lost one nil, oh they should have put somebody on Akowuah......it is easier said than done.

He added that coaching is different from acting as a pundit.

“If you sit in a studio and you haven’t coached or played football before and you tell me Akowuah should have been here, oh you have said it –no problem but that is why I always say in football you never argue –that is why as long as I remain as a coach I will never go and sit on a radio or TV station as a pundit.

“It is as cheap as that but as always say a log can be in a pool for hundred years with crocodiles but it can never be a crocodile, you can talk about football but you can never sit in the technical area as a coach.”

Kotoko will be searching for their first win on Wednesday as they take on Champions Ashanti Gold in an outstanding game at the Baba Yara stadium in Kumasi.
