Ghana legend Asamoah Gyan has taken the centre stage again in a fight with one of Ghana's leading media organizations, Joy FM.

On Thursday, the media house tweeted a survey about how Ghanaians feel about his famous penalty miss against Uruguay at the 2010 World Cup quarter-final stage.

"Fellow Ghanaians does Asamoah Gyan's penalty miss still hurt you?" the tweet said.

A livid Asamoah Gyan replied that he has from now onwards blacklisted Joy FM and has lost any shred of respect he had for the reputable station.

He also added that they should learn to show respect.

"I have lost respect for you guys. From today, @Joy997FM is out on my list. You should be ashamed of your self. Learn how to respect. Smh," he tweeted.

In teh quarter-finals of the 2010 Wolrd Cup in South Africa, Ghana played Uruguaywith the scores at 1-1 when in the dying embers of the game a Dominic Adiyiah goal-bound header was cruelly stopped by Athletico Madrid striker Luis Suarez with both hands.

The Black Stars were awarded a penalty and Asamoah Gyan missed as he struck the bar with the Uruguayan goalie Fernando Muslera completely beaten.

Ghana crushed out on penalties after several misses as Uruguay progresses to the semi-finals stage of the World Cup.

Since the incident and events that occurred after, Asamoah Gyan based on his mother's advise refrained from taking penalty kicks for Ghana.

Gyan currently plays for Ghana Premier League side Legon Cities.

He has missed seven consecutive GPL games and played only 74 minutes since joining the club on a one year deal worth in excess of $1 million in November last year.
