Koboko99:
On Sadiq Umar's time at Rangers FC and his relationship with Steven Gerrard.

Speaking to The Sunday Post, he said: “All of a sudden, I was told that I could not use the first-team dressing-room any more. Instead I had to go change with the kids. Then, after a few days, I was also forbidden to park my car inside the training centre.

“I felt humiliated and kept asking what was the reason for the change of attitude. But I never received any answers. Gerrard wouldn’t give any explanation about it, neither to me nor my representatives.

“I believe absolutely that I was not given a fair chance to show what I can do. They made me feel like a stranger. I started only once (in the League Cup semi-final against Aberdeen) and that was when there were no other strikers available.

“As I say, for me everything went wrong after they brought in another striker (Lafferty). Once I put a ‘like’ on Instagram to a post from a fan – and I was fined £20,000, which was absurd.

“And Rangers didn’t even pay me up everything I was due. They still have to give me my salary for December.”


If we talk about a certain player at wolves, someone will tell us he was frozen out of the team because of Jorge Mendez involvement with the club but he's always too quick to pass a judgment on Sadiq Umar.

Sadiq was froze out of the team too without any explanation, not like he played 25 games without scoring.

If you can make excuses for someone because he didn't get to play then think twice before you pass such judgement on Sadiq.

I agree.

Eze has already rejected Naija and yet many of us here haven't read the writing on the wall.

"Please give me enough time to make my decision" was what Abraham and Tomori said (they may have said it with other words and not exactly in he same words)

darkelf:
Another day of club football and no goal or assist from Samuel Kalu. I don't want to rush into conclusion by saying that he has most form for his club. However, he does well for his country so maybe no qualms

Do you watch the match?
Samuel kalu plays as a wing back.
What he did today mostly in the match was to defend

Tell them make dem hia .. All those patriotic bs.

tbaba1234:
Football is a career, some of us make moves in our careers primarily for financial reasons not because we love our company more than another.

When the financially better move aligns with a career advancement move. The choice is easy. That is why most players will choose England over Nigeria.

It does not mean, they love one country over the other. Some of these boys listen to mainly Nigerian music but they have a connection to both countries.

3 convincing away wins

Wow, Plateau UTD. 5 games, 2 away wins and 1 draw, 2 home wins; 13 points from 15.

Awesome start to the season, now let's keep it up.

oga, Pinnick is going about it a very very wrong way. Why all the media panorama. He did the same with Tammy.
All Eze needed was an official invitation. If he turns that down, then he should be allowed time and space to rescind his decision.

komekn:


Thankfully Amaju is not ignorant of the dynamics of football marketing and value associated with national allegiance.

Soon Eberechi Eze will be playing for Nigeria, my expectations before the end of January or sooner.

Happy for Plateau or NPFL?

I remember when I said the league was better than it had ever been in a long time and I got laughed at. Now we can see what a highly competitive league we have

Bros
That is always the template when the league is just starting.
Wait till we get to the middle of the season or the concluding part of the season, you go fear NPFL

Joebie:
Ehen we need more of you here. The domestic league need representation too. It's all about Naija players

I used to post about the league but got discouraged when the league went off TV and ended abruptly with a league winner being announced after just 12 matches by LMC.

Hopefully nothing like that again

Joebie:

Both, really.

I'm a huge huge Plateau UTD fan. Born and bred in Jos. Also happy that away wins are becoming a norm in NPFL these days.

Very competitive, hopefully the pace and transparency won't change along the line.

A user called islayer did this same thing to my comments multiple times and got no reprimand from no one but got multiple likes sometimes back

We should not allow all these dirty act exist on this thread

at earthquake, behave like a civilized person, win arguments with superior arguments, respectively bow out when you lose but know that we are not here to compete though.

Lets be who we want others to be to us always

Don't mention me on this nonsense again because you're the last person to talk about dirty acts. Remove the log in your eyes first, jaundiced fellow. Rubbish!

Been consistent for about 3 seasons now

Why @ the bolded?

if you have a valid, different opinion, feel free to state it, rather than cross out someone's opinion and call it trash

This place is not Romance or Politics Section, where dunderheads have free rein to misbehave. We can take the occasional jabs from certain monikers, but this rubbish you did with tbaba's post will not stand.

It would do you well to refrain from such juvenile behavior next time.

Prove that I've ever crossed anyone's comments or ever called any trash before.

I am not interested in mudslinging if that is what you come on this board to do.

I can step out of the line sometimes but I always retrace my steps and apologize.

You can expose me though if you think I'm lying with evidence .

The season usually start with away wins.. Let's watch as it progresses

You people keep making this statement. Keshi wanted a big player who could play in the midfield, after going with another lightweight player in Ramon Azeez.

In the game against France, we were up against a highly physical French team. When it was time for a substitution to replace Onazi, Keshi called Ramon and I exclaimed, "No O! They will kill him on that pitch. Luckily, Mikel signalled to Keshi not to try it and then replaced Onazi with Gabriel.

So, Haruna and Ajagun would not have come in for the extra big man. It was due to strategy he brought in Ruben Gabriel to match the players at his disposal.

Why Keshi no kuku ma carry bouncer go world cup if he wanted to play kwatankwa instead of Ruben?

Why are we making a big issue of the "crossing". A post can be rubbished in so many ways. I agree he should not have stopped there, but gone ahead to counter tbaba's post.

But even in the midst of all that we have jabs that come from uncivilized people, who cannot make an argument without targeting the person.

Because the monikers are afobear, gustav and their third friend whose name escapes me.

What happened after the physical Ruben came in for short and smallish Onazi?

France overan the mildfield.

well those monikers do not usually escape our wrath on here. I personally consider afobear a fun moniker, and I like the color he adds to this thread.

Josh Maja is a very good striker. Very impressed with him.

Its a big issue

Makes us look stupid on this board
Like some unserious people idling away with senseless comments day in and out.

No more stretching this, I guess earthquake already got banned for what he did.

Funny enough, most of us don't know the persons behind each moniker, so it's easy to misbehave.

Nothing more from me on this.

he played 90 minutes today, kalu also featured against monaco

tbaba1234:

Strikethrough/crossing is just a formatting. It carries the same meaning as when someone goes ahead to rubbish your post with a response.

I shake my head really. It's amazing how fast cowards on NL tell you to bring evidence.


After you finish posting your gabbage then editing out later you come here and pose like St Agatha and tell everybody to look for evidence. Don't fucking provoke me with that nonsense. Person wey sabi you don sabi you already unless you come back with another moniker not this one again.

TheGoodJoe:


Can you make any point than saying you have no point. You that have a point, make it.

Keshi has done so much for the Super Eagles for you to open your mouth and say mediocrity.

He was a blessing to us and deserves at least understanding.

Can you counter a point I made? Than to write no point, mediocrity, as if that is making a point.

We already had Ramon Azeez. We could not go with Ajagun and Haruna when we had Onazi also who could play that role. We needed a big defensive/central Midfielder.

After that, Keshi drafted Hope Akpan.

You are free to write no point.

Haruna and Ajagun can play anywhere in the mildfield.

make we dey watch. I will be depending on you together with the likes of likita and basco
