Please guys chill with the Oyedepo talk O! I am not a die hard church goer but I really believe in God. Last year, I almost lost my twin Brother to a mysterious case of Meningitis. After God miraculously healed him, his right eyes was deformed. I went for one of the NIGHT WITH THE KING, a night vigil held at winners chapel leaving my brother at home.

At the end of the program, Bishop Oyedepo asked, "If there is anything you want God to do for you before you reach home, ask him now". I joined in the prayer and asked for my brother's eyes to be healed. By the time I reached home from the vigil, my brother greeted me with his eyes fully restored. So guys after God used him, my respect for him increased. Chill with the verbal jabs.

I will never condone anyone trying to hurt another player. Watching the replay, I believe Balo actually tried to hurt Parker and should face his ban. My problem is with the double standards by the FA and Referees. For instance, Peter Crouch's finger stabbing incident. The FA turns a blind eye to it, Terry's racial abuse of Anton, no problem. Suarez does it, scape goat.

The referee was Card happy to send Kompany off but Glen Johnson is free to commit a worse Offense. It is saddening watching the so called beautiful game this way. Finally none of us here really knows Balo's heart. The replay shows that he stamped on Parker but it doesn't explain his heart. If Balo didn't intentionally do it, then he will feel really heart broken.

Finally do a research on his charity works, you will find out Balo is actually a very good guy but the English press has turned him evil in the eyes of football watchers. That is really sad.
