somehow:
He served 5 matches already out of 12 and still expected to complete the commuted sentence accordingly.

A player beat a ref and only got 1-year suspension a few days ago, Ali was not physical and there were no injuries sustained by anyone that day.

Condoling it? no, does he deserve to serve the 12 match ban? yes. does he deserve a pardon? yes based on precedence.

As you said, they should set stricter rules, then we can ask them to stick to their law.

Any coverage for the league this season ?

Koboko99:


I'm not surprised at your response. As usual you know everyone in British football setup. Sadie's story is false and you choose to believe that of your British pals because theirs is authentic.

How come no one from the club come out to deny or challange Sadiq's version of the story. His story was on Scottish Sun not vanguard or Punch. Coming here to tell me about a good post being balanced when yours is one sided and reeks of bias(choosing to believe your friends over the young man involved). So much for being a Warri boy and an avid supporter of the super Eagles.

The boy was a young man trying to find his feets in a new environment and instead of encouraging him, he was frozen out of the team and treated like a criminal.

We dived and was yellow carded instead of scoring? That's his offence Is he the first to do that?? Footballers have done worse.

You judged his career with jus two games

Now you're coming here to tell us how he dropped to a very very very low league in order to perform. But you forget he has played in a higher league (Dutch league and Italian league) and he didn't disappoint.

Just so you know the Scottish league is rated number 16 and the Serbian league is at 19. According to UEFA coefficient Rangers is rated 120 while Partizan Belgrade is rated 71. So how is this dropping to a very very very low level.

By the way i know a few people in football not everybody.

You have decided to be purposefully misleading and be far from balanced indeed completely biased. The commentary and facts concerning Sadiq are vast, in many cases he was ridiculed by the Rangers fans as well. But you didn’t look for facts but are using conjecture to justify the unjustifiable. You could not play the racism card because Ovie and quite a few black players were in the team.

Consider the bolded, so because someone is from my country, my tribe, my village i must believe his story without question, that’s the anchor on which our national problems rest, nepotism and double standard.

I chose to believe the facts and the pattern of events associated with those facts, not just the one-sided rantings of a disgruntled player that were made over 6 months ago. As with regards to there being no reply from the club, it’s very simple clubs will not give credence to nonsense by replying, he is essentially inconsequential to them.

But who is Sadiq Umar, 22 years old and has never played more than 18 games in a season of football over the past 6 years, his career has been stop start and stop start nothing outstanding? His career has been far from impressive. Until now at this lowly rate league and club that can’t even be competitive in the UEFA league, he is now outstanding. However, he has to prove that he can cut in a top 10 European league because for the past 6 years he has proven that he cannot, again easily substantiated.

I gave you two examples of failings and commentary about him as indicators to the much wider problem, he is not good enough for Rangers. Well before Sadiq had arrives in Scotland, I said and still say he will struggle in a physically intense league such as the England league 1, I said that donkeys ago. I actually thought there was something wrong with his feet because he was always falling over. I remember Tbaba1234 made the same observation.

Football is about opportunity and what you do with it, OPPORTUNITY is key and taking advantage of your opportunity is absolutely vital. Sadiq got his first start for Rangers a great opportunity to make a claim but he completely made a hash off it and totally disgraced himself by his dishounourable conduct diving in front of an open goal. Add to the fact that he was also poor in training his time was simply up.

When you come on loan to a club, " You are not guaranteed playing time, you absolutely have to earn it "

With regards to the club rankings it does not reflect the HERE and NOW in European football as it’s an aggregate of historical results not present results in the UEFA & Champions league. That’s why Arsenal is rated 9 and Liverpool 8, Arsenal that has done nothing in the past 10 years plus. Once again, your clutching at straws to present subjectivity as substantiated fact.

Google is your friend it doesn’t take much to get press reports and substantiate to have objectivity. But you went emotive and so did the vast majority of people here. The vast majority being sentiment and emotive led as well as, followed a statement that was self-birthed , self-justified, self-deduced with zero corroboration.

What’s disappointing is that some of you here are graduates, Masters and even PhD Holders. Where is your balance score card assessment? Where is your weighting of probabilities and or the judgement of the reasonable man? I find what we do here in attitude reflects in a micro context what happens in the nation at large. No wonder the nation is in such a mess.


29th September 2018, this is what Steven Gerrard said about him, I don’t think you can be any fairer than that see below.

Togo 4: 1 Nigeria (This is already in the record books)
And the next week
Nigeria 1:1 Brazil. (This also)

In years to come People who were not born when these two games were played will not know that two different teams executed both games.

And organizing friendlies for such a bad Team that played TOGO would have increased the probability of another woeful results for the record books.

Certainly no one would know and who would want to research into a bad result to have known that a different team actually got the bad result

OMANBALA1:


I swear I can't stand that team...I probably hate that country...God help me.

Yea God help you

Wouldn't want to hear that you blew yourself up in a London Store. Do away with the hate

Blueelf:
TOP 5 FRIENDLIES I WOULD LIKE THE SUPER EAGLES TO FEATURE IN THE NEXT AVAILABLE WINDOW

1 Algeria: Well, they beat us and in grand/embarrassing style. I don't mind playing them away. It would be an interesting battle between talented attackers on both sides. We should watch out for Mahrez and render him impotent this time

2 Portugal: They are a very tactical side who adjusts based on their opponents.I personally expect them to get to the Semi-Finals of Euros 2020. It's been said that C. Ronaldo scores well against teams within our position (FIFA ranking). I doubt he would get 2 goals against us though. This match would expose our young crop of players to world class football. Since we did well against Ukraine and Brazil, I expect us to do well against them too. Truth is, the players we should actually watch out for is Jao Moutinho and Benardo Silva.

3 Senegal: Games against them go either way. Mane is phenomenal and Koulibaly is a rock in the hear of their defense and no wonder both has been selected in the shortlist for Balloon Dór. Their midfield is also quite compact and they are quite physical too. Should we win, i don't expect it to be more than a goal margin

4 Argentina: Our perennial foes. Our bane in most World cups. Truth is, I love when we play them. They bring out the best in our defence. However, I feel we could have beaten them many times in the times past had we gotten our tactics and player selection right. I want us to play an in form Icardi and Di-Maria with an out of form defence lol. Should be an interesting match. I predict over 2.5 (lmao)

5 JAPAN: Very fast side which Klopp would be happy to coach as they can run for 90 mins non stop without tiring. Talented players like Takashi Inui, Shinji kagawa, Takefusa Kubo, Okazaki et al should keep our defence on their toes. I feel their Midfield is the most talented (compared with other areas of the team) and the battle will be won and lost there. I expect a win from us though.

Feel free to add yours people

I don't want Senegal, no need putting our players in harm's way with those carpenters called players

We have played Argentina too much already

Olulong:


The Awards this days are just Appalling. Percy Tau even made the shortlist, someone who was playing I Belgium second division last season

Africa doesn't have too many top players

OMANBALA1:


Meanwhile, I can't wait for Super Eagles to rape Three Lions...My joy will know no bounds.

Because Three lions are not good players?

They are still better than us in all departments

So how did he get to join Watford if he was rubbish? He was decent for Granada before that.

Do a little bit of research and find out the family ownership of these three clubs Grenada, Watford and Udinese.

Then consider the dark tales of Cosa Nostra

From thier you can make your own deductions.

Watching Club brugge match and all I can say is that Dennis will continue to stay on the bench in super eagles.

Details on how Nigeria U17 forward Wisdom Ubani lost out on a chance to join French Ligue 1 giants Monaco after the Africa U17 Cup of Nations has been revealed to Owngoalnigeria.com editorial team.

Ubani emerged as one of the stars of the Nigerian team at the U17 Cup of Nations in Tanzania where he scored two goals and also caught the eyes with his ability from set pieces particularly taking of freekicks.

Although the Nigeria U17 team finished fourth at the tournament, Ubani was tipped by many as one of the bright spot in the Nigerian team and as expected he had interest from top clubs around Europe.

Monaco were one of the team interested in his services and were willing to pay €2.5m to snap him up but just like the failed move to Anderlecht, the owners of his economic rights insisted on a transfer fee of at least €5m.

They also insisted that they will only listen to offers for the forward after the U17 World Youth Championship and unfortunately an injury picked up before the tournament meant he wasn’t quite at the level he was at the Africa U17 Cup of Nations.

He struggled to make any appreciable impact and even lost his spot in the team. His lack of fitness later caught up with him when he suffered a relapse of the injury he was recovering from and hence ruled out of the tournament.

The poor tournament he had made Monaco to dump his chase and switch to other players who performed better leaving Ubani with no real chance of moving to Europe anytime soon.

” Monaco used a very popular Nigerian agent to sound out the owners of Ubani but they were told in clear terms that their offer of €2.5m is insufficient that it will take a fee in the region of €5m to sign him. His nursery team were also not willing to do business until after the World Youth Championship “, a source close to the deal told Owngoalnigeria.com.

” Unfortunately he didn’t have the best of tournament. So Monaco passed on the chance to sign him and moved to other players. It’s really sad considering the fact that it will be hard for a team in the calibre of Monaco to come in for him at this time”.

Koboko99:


Mendez doesn't own Wolves. The club is owned by a Chinese group.

Personally I don't believe this conspiracy theory about Dominic being frozen out of the wolves team because of Jorge mendez involvement with the team. We would like to know the other players that were frozen out of the team as well.

Mind you I checked the team's squad list for the past 3 seasons and there's only one Portuguese defender named Ruben Vinagre . And none of the defenders in wolves is represeted by Jorge Mendez. So why exactly is he being frozen out of the team?

See who is calling someone a liar...Wizard of lies

Maybe I'm speaking above your comprehension, go and check the meaning of the word proxy in the context of company control and management.

Then after that check the meaning and substance of if the phrase , " Portuguese sourced players ".

For example Raul Jimenez is Mexican but spent three seasons at Benfica before coming to Wolves for about £35 million. Or for example French defender, Willy Boly who had spent the past four seasons in Portugal with Braga first and then Porto.

You checked Wikipedia Wow !!!

I really don't care what you want to believe that's your business. But educate yourself be more substantive and Increase your understanding.

I am putting a few screen shots from highly reputable media outlets. Financial times and the Guardian.

The matters became delayed in intended convoluted financial arrangements that would require protracted legal contention. We all know, sorry some of us do, what's going on but proving in a legal setting is very problematic.

All the other stuff about players excluded is there if you look. I did that substantive post donkeys ago.

I could tell you all the players frozen out but do your own homework.

Now who is telling LIES and being MISLEADING.

This is not about a few games but his entire time in Rangers. And the question, if he was treated fairly or not. Very simple.

Loan players rarely ever walk straight into the first team.

As I have said upteen times before. You don't have a right to play.

You earn the right to play by what you do in training and in games you are selected to play. You must perform if you don't then you don't play.

People here are being very bigoted and hypocritical shameless with double standard.

How many players get invited to the SE and dont cut it in training and dont play. How many players have one game and didn't do anything and they are never called back to the SE again.

In club football this is a very common phenomenon. Players go on loan and are sent back without paying one game.

What's the big deal.

The big deal he is Sadiq Umar and we want to move the goal posts to accommodate him.

Tomori was very average two seasons ago in the Championship now he is playing for Chelsea and England. Players improve or even go backwards this is football.
