who are you?!  

Rastamann:
Let he who has no sin cast the first stone. In stead of calling for the Pope's head, let us pray for the repentance of these "notorious" priest. To err is human to forgive is divine.

Cristalz:
Ignorance. Still making asses Arses out of people.

eyoniggar:
I think you have a point crizzle.

In my own opinion, if Manure wins the title four  times
in a row. EPL's rating wud be low.

Cristalz:
What's with the doom and gloom? Na wa.

United are having a bad spell. . .which team doesn't?
Fact that United's always attracts so much attention just goes to show how rare the occurrence is, which means the team is really good.
That's a good thing IMO, so Mancs, berra feel good about all this attention. As in, friggin' bask in it.

United have won this trophy 3 consecutive times. . .winning it a 4th time should make other teams go hang their heads in shame.
Fact that they are so excited about United stumbling goes to show how much of a threat they consider us.
Heck, I'm basking in it.

Now which team is more likely to stumble even worse than United? Yep, we all know. . .team Arsenal.
Just saying the truth here.
So Arses here rejoicing, I'd really advise y'all to chill till you take care of Spurs first (or till they take care of you first).

[size=16pt]Vatican to bishops: follow law, report intimacy abuse[/size]

VATICAN CITY – The Vatican on Monday made clear for the first time that bishops and other church officials should report clerical intimacy abuse to police if required by law. But the policy failed to satisfy victims who charge that the church deliberately hid abuse for decades.
Victims, government inquiries and grand juries have all charged that the Catholic Church created what amounted to a conspiracy to cover up abuse by keeping allegations that priests despoiled and molested children secret and not reporting them to civil authorities.

The Vatican has insisted that it has long been the Catholic Church's policy for bishops, like all Christians, to obey civil reporting laws. In a new guide for lay readers posted on its Web site, the Vatican explicitly spells out such a policy.

"Civil law concerning reporting of crimes to the appropriate authorities should always be followed," the Vatican guidelines said.
That phrase was not included in a draft of the guidelines obtained Friday by The Associated Press. The rest of the guidelines follow previously known and public procedures for handling canonical investigations and trials of priests suspected of abuse.
The Vatican offered no explanation for the addition.
Victims were not impressed.
"Let's keep this in perspective: it's one sentence and it's virtually nothing unless and until we see tangible signs that bishops are responding," said Joelle Casteix, western regional director for SNAP, the Survivors Network for Those Abused by Priests, the main victims' group in the U.S. "One sentence can't immediately reverse centuries of self-serving secrecy."

She said if the Vatican truly wanted to change course "it would be far more effective to fire or demote bishops who have clearly endangered kids and enabled abuse and hid crimes, than to add one sentence to a policy that is rarely followed with consistency."

None of the core public Vatican documents to be applied in cases of abuse direct bishops to report cases to police. Nor does canon law make such an explicit requirement.
Jeffrey Lena, the Vatican's U.S. lawyer, said a 1965 document from the Second Vatican Council, Gaudium et Spes, contained an implicit understanding of the need to follow civil laws that are just.
The vague citation, however, is not nearly as explicit as what is contained in the lay guide.
"It's beyond dispute that the canon law does not mandate non-reporting," Lena said. "These guidelines may help clarify that point for people who are less familiar with canon law."
"The statement confirms what has been long known, that where the civil state creates an obligation to report, bishops like anyone else are required to examine the law and determine what they have to do to obey it," Lena told the AP.
In 2002, after the clerical abuse scandal erupted in the United States, American bishops enacted reforms, which the Vatican made church law for the U.S., that do not specifically order all bishops to notify civil authorities of new claims. Instead, the U.S. policy instructs bishops to comply with state laws for reporting abuse, and to cooperate with authorities. All U.S. dioceses were also instructed to advise victims of their right to contact authorities themselves.
The Rev. Davide Cito, a canon lawyer at Rome's Santa Croce University, called the publication of the universal church policy in the lay guidelines "an important development."
"I'm very pleased," he said. "A Christian also has to follow civil laws. It's a Christian duty."

A Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Ciro Benedettini, said the reporting requirement had been the internal policy of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith since 2003. The Vatican in 2001 shifted its policy on dealing with abuse cases, ordering bishops around the world to refer all cases to the Congregation, which then decides how to proceed. Previously, diocese themselves dealt with most of the cases on their own.

Asked how bishops were supposed to know of this internal policy on reporting to police, Benedettini declined to comment.

Pope Benedict XVI had told Irish bishops last month that they should cooperate with civil authorities in investigating abuse. But the guidelines mark the first time that such procedures for the church at large, in which bishops are explicitly told they should follow civil reporting laws, have been laid out publicly.

So everyone should give up playing football bacause of some Idiots?

The green Eagle's should have disbanded after the sudden death of Okwaraji.


Al qaeda is spreading terror against English team in south Africa. They should all hold back. 

retiring because of that means victory to terror. Tell me that if it was Man city team bus that was shot at, he would have retireed from club football.
If there is more money in playing for Togo, such thing would not cross his mind.

What would be the general IQ of somebody's fan who goes through a whole track saying "na who be fine boy"? "Shey na me be fine boy". That one na minus 2 and below IQ.

Mobinga:
Requirement to be a modstan will be an IQ of ten and below??
That is the most dumb post ever to grace nairaland.
For you to know that Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates are at war, you must really have a wide range of knowledge.
Eldee, how old are you?

eleshin:
@ eldee,dats true wen looking at it frm d aristic point of view but i meant fame and fortune,u and i know he is yet to be wu he realy wanted to be.

duduspace:
I disagree eldee, if Wilshere can become a first teamer at Bolton, then Vela will not only survive but thrive in any mid table to lower PL team, Vela can not only play but can also hustle, yu guys definitely haven't been watching him play for Mexico. He just hasn't settled into our first team picture yet for whatever reason.
There wasn't injury to every other striker as Eduardo was available, after we dropped points at Sunderland with Eduardo leading the line, I think Arsene just wasn't confident enough to play him then with our PL charge hanging in the balance.

eleshin:
he is a very good musician but an under achiever at dat.

duduspace:
As to that portion in bold, you should know by now how Arsene sets his team out from Pre-season (which Vela unfortunately miss out on due to injury and international commitments), once he has set the order of players at the beginning of the season, its going to take a major mess up from his first choice for him to make a change. Bendtner got his chance only because it became obvious Eduardo/Arshavin werent working out.
I'm expectant of what Vela can do because of some of his performances I've seen for us last season and for Mexico, Form is temporary but class is permanent, there is a reason that boy won MVP at U17 level as a 15 year old.
