Nne, mba nu! Unlucky ? I will show you an unlucky players...Azubike Okechukwu and Onyekuru. Awoniyi just didn't cut it.

safarigirl:
the guy even said he was trying to hold up Batshuayi with his legs.

Like, how?

There was no way that angle was done to protect or save either of them, and I'm glad they replayed a similar scene with Son against Chelsea, where he raised his leg up and caught a Chelsea player in much the same manner. Son got a red for that challenge, but Maguire gets to score after his own.

Porto striker Moussa Marega was subjected to racist abuse on Sunday after scoring his team's second goal in a 2-1 win against former club Vitoria SC.

Marega's teammates and the opposition players tried to prevent him from leaving the pitch before Porto boss Sergio Conceicio tried to calm him down, but the 28-year-old ignored them all and walked down the tunnel.

Later, on Instagram, Marega wrote a message to those who had been hurling racist insults at him, as well as the match officials.

"To those idiots that go to the stadium to shout racist insults, go Bleep yourselves," Marega wrote on Instagram.

"I'm also grateful to the referee for not defending me and for giving me a yellow card for defending my skin colour. I hope I never see you on a pitch again. You're a disgrace!"

After watching the highlights of the match between Chelsea and Man U I fear for next World Cup. VAR seriously needs an overhaul

Uefa will be bamboozled with documents, Man city is not the first club to cheat on FFP, Madrid and Barca have done it so why is Man city the scapegoat

We have a case there

LaMujer:



the only problem i see with VAR is it's use as a medium for favoritism. I like the idea, but not how it's being used in England to favour some clubs(Pool and United)

Mane's goal against Norwich was a goal, but Zouma's against United was not a goal, despite Zouma not being the one that even did the foul.

Maguire didn't deserve a yellow(worse case), but Auba got a red, and Son got a red too. Blatant nonsense!

andrewbaba44:


Thank God say you get eye ,var does favour Liverpool Man U even Chelsea most times ,Chelsea should deal with it , var refuses to check rudiger hand ball against Leicester

LaMujer:



i remember that chelsea vs leicester match too

BascoVanVeli:



Exactly. I think his was even worse because of the sensitivity of the spot he caught Batshuayi.

I think that was done because he is a England international. Even the Frank lampard only spoke after he lost. When the situation happened he overlooked it because Maguire is from England. If bailley had been the one he wouldn't have reacted like that.

LaMujer:



another Racism case

Humility017:


Lampard is making joke wit his career...

I just don't understand why sentiments towards his English players would make a coach not do the right thing....

if he wants the English FA job he should go for it or better still apply for Southgate's job

it is clear from that game that we need some fresh legs in Church... we need a top striker and midfielders

those Hudson, mount, Berkeley and even Tammy are fit for average teams and not ambitious teams like Chelsea

Koboko99:


I watched the video and I was very disappointed are FC Porto players especially otavio. They held him back and tried to convince him to play on. Instead of walking out with him. The three points was more important to them than the dignity of their team mate.

I love what he did, he scored the winning goal, celebrated it by showing them the colour of his skin, walked off and told them to go Bleep themselves!!!

The funny thing is Marega played on loan for the same team that racially abused him in 2016/2017 season and scores 14 goals while on loan.


FIFA and other football governing bodies need to do better. Fines cannot move these people instead deduct 15 points for teams when their fans racially abuse any player. That will make them feel the heat.

Icon4s:


For you to really cut it in football you need to be exceptionally talented and also hardworking and disciplined.

Awoniyi is hardworking and disciplined but is not exceptionally gifted.

Hard work and discipline can only raise you to a certain level. The rest are your natural abilities (gift/talent)

Icon4s:


They are state rivals and not City rivals.

Abia warriors are based in Umuahia while Enyimba are based in Aba

TheSuperNerd:
OGN reports that Kelechi Nwakali has been training with Huesca's first team and has been impressive so far so much that the club coaches and officials are kinda backtracking on their initial plans to send him out on loan to CD Ejea in the Spanish Third tier.

The report also says that the coaches are working hard on getting K.Nwakali's fitness up to speed so as to get him involved in Huesca's hunt for promotion towards the remaining parts of the Segunda season.



If true, then I think this is really positive news.

Moses Simon: A Wanted Man


Nigeria Super Eagles winger, Moses Simon is flying at French club Nantes - on loan from Spanish side Levante.

Nantes are keen to exercise their option by sealing a permanent deal (could cost up to 5million euros), and a potential move to a top club beckons, with two French giants and a German club sniffing around.

I hear/read, from various sources, a fee of 20-25 million euros is being considered.


Note: One of the two french Giants gunning for Simon is Olympique Lyon.


Source: French media and @Oluwashina.

andrewbaba44:


Wow this life sha ,Lyon will not be a bad move and I pray another French giants should be marseille

Moses Simon was played out of position at Levante ,simple and clear

Now Nantes will purchase for 5 million euros and sell him to a top team for about 20 million euros

If so a good one for Nantes and Moses Simon

Subzero047:


One thing about Simon Moses is he has a fantastic attitude

Even if he does not score he will work hard for the team

Why do I think this racism of a thing is overblown.
One life principle is that once people find a perfect weapon against you and you externally shows them it pains,they will continually use it against you anytime they want. The best thing is to find a perfect antidote which to me is to use the weapon(racism) to your best advantage. Take for instance, Dani Alves , he was racially abused.A banana was thrown at him when he was about to take a corner, he neither whined nor walked out of the field, he picked it up , ate it and went ahead to bag an assist from the corner kick. You were racially abused and u angrily left the field, that to me feels like u are not proud of your root,skin colour and who you are. Racism doesn't have an antidote..the best weapon is to render it useless . Black players should stop being childish, show some resilience and toughness.
They got broken down easily.
This is my own opinion... no insult pls.

But you spoilt your right up with the last sentence, you should encourage insults and not care about them by showing your resilience and toughness after all its only your opinion. bros practice what you preach first before proclaiming maturity, toughness and resilience.

mostob:
Lolz...
u have a point but these are two different scenarios. I encourage criticism but not insult. I can show my resilience and toughness by defending my opinion. Insult and criticism are both different. Moreso , if u are a regular visitor of this thread, u will understand where am going with that last sentence.

AndSunGorilla:


Ok, so was Mareega being criticised?

He was abused .... Like i said, both are different scenarios. I know where u are going with this bro..but overlook that sentence and tackle the real issue.
