@Sauron,

I am sure you staked your balls that Defoe would not be going to South Africa

@Sauron,

I am sure you staked your balls that Defoe would not be going to South Africa

The point is that it is a contact Sport and tackles are part of the game

@Dayokanu
You are kinda right! Olden days footie was war! Was watching ESPN classic and saw clips on the 1970 final where an Italian player nearly crippled Pele the silly ref didn't even let the medics on the pitch to treat Pele never mind booking the Italian

Have you heard about the butcher of Bilbao?

Goiko achieved notoriety for an infamous tackle on Diego Maradona in a league match at the Camp Nou, ferociously tackling the Argentine from behind and leaving him severely injured, and reportedly later keeping "the boot he had used to destroy, (Maradona’s) ankle ligaments" at home in a glass case. [1] When the two teams met in that year's Cup final (1–0 for Athletic), the match ended with several players fighting in the field.

Goikoetxea also severely injured German Bernd Schuster when the latter played with the Catalans, producing him a serious right knee injury, and Schuster never fully recovered the level of earlier seasons

.

When men were men.

@jalether, if you knew what players like Cryuff, Maradona, Pele and those skillfull players of then went through.

Solution

Jesus Christ of Olodumare!!!

Are people that bored nowadays? Boredom would be next to cancer in killer diseases very soon.

Thank God World cup starts soon.

I think I should make a documentary too that "Guns can kill"

If Hamas violated the law, then they should be dealt with. If Isreal violate laws, then they should be dealt with

And who is dealing with Hamas in this case or where is the international outrage when Hamas launch those friendly missiles towards Israel.

I don't know where you are getting your analogy from. I don't know how entering a house and despoiling is befitting for this debate.

Meaning not every situation deserves dialogue and gentlemanly attitude.

I dare say, if it was, then it applies to Isreals invasion of Palestianian land in 1948. Hence you are mistakenly justifying Hamas ungentlemanly actions and refusal of dialogue

I thought Israel was given the land by the Equivalent of the UN then

Bless the soul of those brave Jewish soldiers, i guess Netanyahu and co have simply gotten tired of everyone else bullying them into what to do, a high ranking Israeli Navy commander has declared they will be going after other such ships as prepared for war. Anyone who is willing to risk hydrogen and atomic bombs on their national capitals should go ahead and attack Israel.

Co-Signed. Submit all aid ships for inspection else blow the fuckers to smitherens.  Attack israel? Definitely not arabs, Maybe the younger generations but the older ones have learnt their lessons. It takes just 6 days

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
lol where was i when this thread was being debated? David you're slacking big time . . .

Didnt you see my offline message yesterday?

dayokanu, do you feel hatred for people just because they might belong to Hamas or Hizbollah?

Hamas and Hezballah are terror groups and I hate terrorists. they are cowards who hide in schools and hospitals to launch rockets If they want to fight like men, let them come out

Do you realise Hamas actually won elections? I'm asking these questions, because I fear there are elements of racism in your words.

They won an election is not the point, the major point is that they dont think Israel has a right to exist and in their charter/constitution it was stated clearly. That they would not recognise the state of Israel.

If someone that doesnt recognise my right to existence win an election, What do you think should be my views about it?

Whats the documentary about self

He would PLAY but he wouldn't have moaned like a baby constantly.
George Best managed it and he was kicked from pillar to post but he never stopped ridiculing his opponents.

He would moan like a baby that even his teammates would be mad at him in training

I didnt see much of George Best but I bet he must have a tough strain in him. I read he was very unruly, drank, smoked and womanised endlessly.

He wasnt a sissy in any way, Maybe he was someone like Gazza.

Looking like England aren't strong enough.
How is SWP in the side and Adam Johnson out?
Capello is definitely going soft.

Whats the difference between dumb and dumber, they are still getting knocked out anyway

Were the people on the ship Hamas? Because they want to stop the unnecessary evil against people of Gaza, they are somehow allowed to be treated AND SEEN like terrorists?

If you are suspected as aiding terrorists like Hamas then you are no different

And OBVIOUSLY laws apply to Hamas who luanch rockets. They ignore it, hence why they are called TERRORISTS.

Isreal is ignoring laws too, hence why I call them STATE TERRORISTS.

If Hamas violate the laws then whats supposed to be done about it? tell Israel to endure it or what?

If you enter your house and someone is shooting your family and ra-ping your wife and daughter. I bet you would act like a perfect gentleman and sit him down to dialogue right?

Try buying something from Dugbe market in Ibadan and speak English. You would end  up paying double after the market women curse your lineage.

They whisper to themselves on how to take advantage of you and yet some people are saying there's injustice abroad.

lailai

Only Oyinbos discriminate, We Nigerians are saints. I wonder why a person who grew up in all these injustice in Nigeria now complain that a white man looked at him somehow.

Can you tell me how Nigerians view Beninoise and Togolese who come here for greener pastures?  Or even hausa men who come to the South to work

@Silentc,

To answer your question, If you can survive the injustice in Nigeria then you have no problems abroad

That was when men played the game. showboat at your own peril.

I think the last of those vicious goalies was Jens Lehmann

Do you think CR7 would have played football if he were to be born in those times.

Watch out for players like Klaus Augenthaler, Ulli Steilker, Matthias Sammer. yeparipa. Playmakers of those days dey suffer.

You don forget Taribo West of Inter Milans tackle on Andre Kanchelskis of Fiorentina

In those days,
How can you contest a header without your elbows?
How can you contest a corner kick within 5 meters of the goalie?
How can you dribble more than 2 people at a time?
How can the fans be applauding you for dribbling me?

That does not make logic.

And definitely not progress.

The reason we have international marine laws.

You can as well say let anyone go into anyone's house and rob at their own peril, lets just have chaos.

Do these laws apply to Palestinians who launch rockets daily and who carry out suicide attacks or these laws are for Israelis only?

so you decide to prove that you are a strong man by attempting to beat soldiers up? what benefit did that do them i ask? ten of them are dead! sagamite lets not view those ten lives as statistics but as real actual lives, ten lives here lost simply because they were wise enough to attack commandos with iron clubs , of course this situation presented Israel with a threat to national security. who knows what the exact contents of the boat where?

My excuse for beating armed soldiers was that 1) He came uninvited into my house and more over 2) I was beating him with clubs, he should have used a club also for a proportionate response

lets get one thing straight, are you saying that it was justifiable to beat the Israeli soldiers to death?

Isreal deserves to die either by clubbing, suicide attacks, stones, Katyusha rockets, Qassam rockets etc. Infact they deserve to be wiped off the face of the earth as one President keeps repeating. Abi no be so?

Israelis dont have to demand humane treatment from Palestinians but the whole world has to mandate Israel to treat Palestinians as human.

Hamas charter doesnt recognise Israel but Israel is forced to recognise them and their state

There are international laws that apply. There may not be courts, but there are laws. Otherwise anybody (including Iran) is free to board Isreali/UK/USA passenger ships (including cruise ships) in international waters to search them for evidence of nuclear weapon's equipment based on "suspicion".

Board any ship at your own peril, If Iran has the guts to board or hijack as Russian ship, let them go ahead. When at war, Nothing is left to logic.

That is the way the Israelis have been made to live and learn the hard way.

I have posted enough videos of how more civilised countries react to immense provocation with dignity and wisdom. There are more than enough to see on youtube (if only you'll look) that show how robust actions are applied on troublesome civilian boats at sea by coast guard ships without undue incident, injury or loss of life.

How you react to reasonable people is different from how you react to Palestinian Hamas, Hezballah and others.  If someone can strap bombs to pubescent kids and blow them up as martyrs then you should know we are dealing with someone where logical reasoning does not prevail

What Israel did was over the top and barbaric.

Thats how you deal with people who are barbaric and insane. Check how Russia dealt with Chechen rebels at Beslan

Football was gash 25 years earlier.
In the days of back-pass and tackle from behind? Are you shitting me?
Dat one nor be football, abeg. . . . .Na ankle-ball.

Those were the days when tackle from behind are legal, those were the days Schumaker can cripple Batiston and the game continues. Those were the days Jeremies would warn Claudio Reyna not to pass the half way line and he would obey.

Those were when men played football not these days when minor leg-overs are things people cheer in stadium, when Arsenals pass pass were hailed something Rinus Michel perfected over 30yrs ago, Not when CR7 dives when tackled by the blades of grass on the field.

In those days for you to get a foulin your favour, you must show evidence of blood or concussion.

Remember the Bright Omokaro tackle of Maroc 88. Those were football. Vidic thats tagged hard nowadays would cry off the field

DayoKanu: 17

How many years ago was this, This might be when Nigeria was good.

BTW who would hurt a pretty 17yr old girl

That will not stand up in court. You will be jailed for the assualt of your dogs. Whether you think you are right or not does not matter. You acted illegally (hence wrong) based on "suspicion" which flaired up the issue and cost the visitor his life.

Fortunately this is not the court. The other party is very dangerous and my suspicions should be taken seriously andmy warnings to them should be adhered to

I have experienced much more injustice in Naija than anywhere abroad.

A family friend son was shot by cops at Falomo in 2002, the guy was a Chemical Engineering student at UNILAG.

A lady was stripped naked in along Muri Okunola by Security agents just 2 yrs ago.

Several Southerners were attacked and killed in the Northern part of Nigeria

Some posters even said they witnessed Northerners being killed in Aba, Sagamu and Onitsha.

So which of the parties perpetrating the injustice are white and which are black

I didn't have those sort of problems in Nigeria. Not that I have em here either

How old were you when you left Naija?

Just like my analogy, your dog would NOT have been attacked if you did not open the visitor's car to let it enter and sniff.

You do not go to court and defend the savaging by your dog by saying "look my dog was hit in the eye, so it had a right to savage the visitor". Jugde Judy will tell you: "WHY DID YOU LET YOUR DOG IN HIS CAR IN THE FIRST PLACE, YOU ARE AT FAULT!".

I would open the visitors car if I suspect they are arming my enemy.

When dealing with the Gaza terrorists then you dont rationalise issues. Act or face the music

Damn! I should have known that Hizbollah recieves some wicked arms from ex US ambassadors, World class Swedish writers, Irish Nobel peace prize laureates? Wow! How about Red Cross and Boy Scouts?

Especially when one of the organising groups is a known organisation that supports terror

Better players are the 50yr old, Gascoigne, Platt, Shearer and Lineker. Capello shoulda taken those instead of these fools

So ex US ambassadors, World class Swedish writers, Irish Nobel peace prize laureates now supply Katyusha rockets? Incredible!
Ol' boy, start using your grey matter before its late o!

So who supplies the rockets or does Nasrallah himself supply it.

I am sure 10years ago it would be said that do females do suicide attacks, Do kids blow up themselves but when you are in Israel and you see all these things happening then No one is above suspicion

Cut the crap. NOTHING was potentially deadly.

I heard an Israeli soldier was beaten and in critical condition? Is that deadly enough

Rubbish talks.
France won the world cup in 98. . .European Champs in 2000 and Confed Cup in 2001.
They don't have anything to prove again. . . . .What a useless way of reasoning.

France was not the first country to do it. Germans did it 25 years earlier.

Until someone hold all the youth trophies at a time the Germans would then come and set another record
