somehow: I follow the weekly results. 25 away wins in 380 games is atrocious. The team with the largest number of away wins had 3 away wins. 3!!! That is ridiculous. See, we can say there is improvement but we are far from it. 1 Like |

I listed that previously. Must be grade 1 and pass fitness test. Officiating depends on the environment. I lost an uncle (a ref) in Ibadan in the 90s due to assaults on him by the home fan, so refs use their head when they know security is not guaranteed but places with enough security, they perform like their counterparts anywhere in the world. tbaba1234: I can't list all the training requirements here but medicals first, diet etc take the front burner. |

But you said home always win, 25 away wins is not eldorador but not bad either for a league with alot of issues. Ubah want to ogun state or was it Ibadan to beat a home team 0:4. Remember that most clubs are almost at par when it comes to quality, no much difference so don't expect clubs to always win away. You need to be better than your host to win away but they are mostly of same quality. tbaba1234: |

somehow: Sorry about the loss of your uncle. Until officiating improves, it will be difficult to get the best team in the league because most teams just win at home by all means and get whatever they can away. We celebrate when we get a few away draws/wins in a week. We still struggle to get Nigerian referees in international competitions. |

somehow: I do not agree that most teams are at par.. It is not true. There are always better teams Some teams are much better than others. We just do not have a league that reflects that. I have never seen a league that awards so many last minute home penalties. The frequency is worrisome. I believe that our league table is not reflective of who the best team is, because it is so hard to win away. Granted, things have improved. |

Bursaspor Confirm Interest In Musa Loan Deal Turkish club, Bursaspor, have confirmed they are in talks with Leicester City over a possible loan move for Nigeria winger, Ahmed Musa, Completesportsnigeria.com reports. Musa has not featured for the Foxes in the English Premier League this season though he made the bench in the team’s 2-1 defeat against Liverpool last month. His only appearance came in the Carabao Cup win at Sheffield United where he was on target once. The 25-year-old is now seeking a move away from Leicester City to a club that will give him regular playing time in order to boost his chances of making Nigeria’s World Cup squad. The Green and White who already have two Nigerian internationals in their ranks (William Troost-Ekong and Mikel Agu) can give Musa the chance to play regular football again. “Ahmed Musa is a very influential player who will be able to add value and class to us,” Bursaspor’s representative, Hasan Parlakay stated during an interaction with the media. “If we are realistic, we cannot buy him. “But he wants to play with Nigeria in the World Cup. For this you have to keep playing and keep form in the league. We have players in our team from the same national team, Agu and Ekong. “Wearing the Bursaspor shirt on loan until the end of the year is an attractive offer. We hope to give good news in the coming days.” https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/bursaspor-confirm-interest-musa-loan-deal/ 4 Likes |

Ex-Argentina Coach Basile Condemns Super Eagles Defence, Banks On Messi Former Argentina coach Alfio Basile believes Nigeria will be tough opponents for the Albiceleste at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia but insisted that his countrymen can take advantage of what he perceived a weak defence to earn a win against the Africans. The South Americans are Group D along with Nigeria, Croatia and debutants Iceland. They will face the Super Eagles in their last group game on June 20 at the Krestovsky Stadium, St Petersburg “I heard the coach from Iceland and I thought he was very smart but we cannot be afraid of Iceland, the Nigerians are very good, but their defenders are not good enough,” Basile, who coached Argentina between 1991 and 1994, told Ole.com.ar. Basile, 74 also spoke about the importance of Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero to the team. “If the ten is good, we can beat anyone, if Messi is not, we are a team of the bunch,” he said. “At this moment Agüero is indisputable, Manchester City have a great team”. https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/ex-argentina-coach-basile-condemns-super-eagles-defence-banks-messi/#comment-87092 |

tbaba1234: Please name how many outstanding clubs that should be winning away in the league and lets compare their comparative advantage over their opponents. Maybe you still think name win games in NPFL. if Plateau United could win the league last season and a league winner could go on relegation a season after, then what exactly makes any club superior over the rest. we have like 2-3 above average clubs in the league but the rest are almost at par! (FACT)! You're talking about last minute PK, yet someone else said the refs are too lenient, so which should we follow? |

Until security and attendance improves, you cant get the best from the refs, they are human and no one will risk his life for the league that Nigerians don't even care about. Security for the ref Crowd attendance should follow suit. The refs aren't recognized abroad because of these Nigerian factors that has affected their fair performance. put them in a sane environment, see them perform well. i repeated this before. last season 3-5 of our refs were on the continent officiating both for CAF and for FIFA (CCL, ACL, WCQ and NCQ) matches. tbaba1234: |

4 all who say there x too much of last minute penalties and it's a bad thing, please I'm asking should refs now not give genuine penalties cuz it's 90+? last season I saw ifeanyi ubah come from behind to beat 3sc at home with 2 late penalties and both of the were legitimate ones in fact they should v scored if not 4 the gk brilliancy. the reason we complain about it x because we don't see the games on TV if we do many of our wrong perceptions will change. in fact most away teams use it as an excuse to becloud their poor performances and ring up controversies that how some away fans (rangers) said the ref had a phone on the field of play and he received a call to favour the home team because Gombe scored 3 times to come from a 2-0 deficit to leaf 3-2 until rangers equalised with a last gasp free kick. when the highlights were uploaded all the 3 goals the home team scored was legitimate and I don't there was a single pk in it. it was later discovered that rangers fans only made up the rumours and this was confirmed by journalists who saw the game live. https://mobile.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1494210787297391&id=204176799634136&refid=7&_ft_=qid.6411511267388577384%3Amf_story_key.5261485862841790201%3Atop_level_post_id.1494210787297391 that link is the highlights of ifeanyi ubahs 2 goals in that game. the Gombe v rangers game ended 3-3 the Link is on npfl page on youtube 1 Like 1 Share |
