Bro forget Ilori. That one is a lost cause. I view him in the same category as the likes of Jordan Ibe, Sydney Sam, Ross Barkley, etc....dude has no attachment to naija or whatsoever other than having a naija name unlike the likes of Tammy, Eze, Tomori, etc.
Hmmm but Sidney Sam was ready to play for Nigeria until he made U-turn when he received German call.

Even Ross was open to play for us before he was capped.

I think he should be approached at first before we arrive at any conclusion.

Having read through the thread, I discovered that somethings and people didn't change at all on this thread, like Komekn still discussing Uorfa and how foreign is better than naija born, thesupernerd still modifying people's Nick.

forgiveness still discussing UEFA coefficient, I no even understand that thing, safarigirl is still getting involved in non-football discussion on the thread, well variety is the spice of life, i liked that she spoke the truth about Nigerian feminism and feminists.


Joebie is still pretty much an indifferent fellow, andrewbaba44 still dey, Omanbala still very aggressive in his arguments, Tbaba1234 still efficient as ever.

Icon4s is scarce, where has he been to, don't tell me darkelf changed to Blueelf, Charlesemeka85 and Chriskels still dey and I see some very funny new usernames.


And more importantly, This thread has remained as interesting as ever.


So How did the Super Eagles and Super Falcons fare this year. Which national team was the poorest of all

I rated all of Nigeria's national teams thet were active this year in this article, read and tell me, how true and spot on were the grades?

I'll want to know ur response

If indeed there are more nominations for Azeez as a reflection of the majority members of the committee. Then democratically Azeez should considered as presented.
Exactly! But he's not being democratic.

TheSuperNerd:
Okay.... Cool... smiley

From the compiled result of nominations, I can see that No.1 and No.8 need to be finalised for good.

In no.1, Alex Iwobi shares same number of votes with Osimhen.

In no.8, There is a tie for third nominee spot between Awaziem and Semi Ajayi.





Finally, Forgiveness, try and play cool aiit... Yes, Ramon is new to Rohr's tenure but it doesn't make him a new inclusion to the Super Eagles as a whole. Dude had been a member of the Super Eagles even before Osimhen and Chukwueze made their national U-17 debuts. Think about it... wink

Also, I have it on good authority that when Ramon was given his first NT call-up since 2014, that is his recall, the senior players of the squad (like Musa, Omeruo and co who weren't around in camp for the Brazil game) informed the younger ones that Ramon didn't need an initiation becos he is not new to the Super Eagles set-up.

This was after the majority of the young squad had somehow made Ramon partake in the initiation involving others like Peter Olayinka and Viv Solomon Otabor.
The initiation was done in complete error. Their mistake is forgivable shaa.... It was due to them having never played with Ramon before.
But in the end, the senior ones called it to order. Ramon is no newbie/new inclusion to the Super Eagles.


The results of Nominations are finally revealed (pending Marvellous BascoVanVeli's submission) so we can move on but ofcourse after sorting out no.1 and no.8 of the awards categories.

Merci.
I am cool na. As you can see, he was initiated in the new era. grin

Anyway, make I just dey look.

Hmm! Saka is a very good player though this is not the first time seeing him play. He will be a very good addition to the team.

Tiago Ilori played CB for Sporting Lisbon today and from what I saw, he will be a very good addition to the team. I wonder why NFF or Rohr never tried to approach him until now.

I saw a little bit of Adekanye in first half for Lazio though I didn't know he was the one until I saw he assisted on Livescore.

You just like picking up arguments over little things.

From the trend of nominations Your Ramon Azeez nomination already has no effect on the final outcome of nominations.

We have to move on please.

Ramon played a bit part before and that is a fact but the fact also is that he therefore is not a NEW inclusion in the team.

I propose that this matter be deliberated some more so we can reach a solution that we all can accept

It seems Icons4 has a premeditated laid down rules he made by himself else how can he insist on his own personal opinion after 3 - 4 committees nominated Ramon Azeez?

He did not get the consent and approval of the committee through ballot or vote before he insisted Ramon Azeez is not eligible for nomination. Another kind of authoritarian personality in my own opinion.

Let me explain myself, in my own opinion, I think Ramon Azeez is eligible for nomination because he was never part of 'the dawn of the new era'. Or was he? In fact, he was never part of any era.

NB: Please, take note of the bolded.

You are not different from the past military juntas else how can you be forceful against 3 -4 committees wishes to nominate Ramon Azeez for the new inclusion?

You did not suggest the category and you were told what it entails, but as usual, you must interpret it the way you want to. I thought you would do the honorable thing and excuse yourself from the committee since icon4s was added in despite your reservations, but you figured you could do more damage working from the inside, abi?

Icon4s, it is not every suggestion we must take, only the majority will win and just because someone put out a name does not mean it will make the final list. Feel free to delete any name that does not align with the requirements.

Black Americans don't hate going to school pls, ur talking as if schooling is free in America. Education in America is among the most expensive on earth..

Pls don't ever compare European and U.S racism, in the U.S racism is institutionalized, just like it is in South Africa. The whites own over 90% of the wealth in America while the black Americans own 2%, that's the height if poverty. And guess what, the black Americans owned 1% of American wealth in 1776.

Do you know it was in recent memory that black Americans were to start voting or contesting in elections in the U.S?

The whites in America are doing everything possible to hold down the blacks. Blacks are well known to be hard workers worldwide and the ones in America aren't an exception. Immediately the sports sector was opened up to blacks in America, they took over every single sports in America n started breaking ALL existing records. Immediately the entertainment industry was opened up for the blacks, they took over the music industry 100%. The day the whites will stop holding blacks down, the blacks will easily conquer them in all spheres of life and rule over them.


Over 400 years of American slavery destroyed bkack Americans. Same black slaves in europe are doing very very very very well today...that shows u that the blacks in America are facing a fundamental problem/challenge.
I don't think the whites are holding blacks down. If you don't believe, just take a look at Africa currently controlled by blacks after many years of independent and tell me what you think.

You are only stiring up unnecessary controversies on this matter.

A player that has been capped has been capped whether he played only 1, 2 or 3 games. Ramon Azeez was at the 2014 World Cup. He is not new to the Super Eagles.

What happens if players like Stanley Amuzie, Olanrewaju Kayode, Aminu Usman, Azubuike Okechukwu, Ejike Uzoenyi and co are recalled? You still call them New inclusions into the Super Eagles? Come on!

We must set out very clear criteria that are easily measurable. The New inclusions for 2019 are players who made their debutes for the Super Eagles in 2019. This is very simple and clear. No ambiguity in it.

I am sure if some people see Ramon Azeez on the list of nominees for "New Inclusion 2019" they will raise questions considering his involvements in 2014. And this might stir up controversies that can derail the voting process.

Please we must keep things straight and simple. No room for ambiguity and controversies.

There are some other players who made their debutes this year(2019) chose from them please.

Please let others say something on this matter. To avoid unnecessary back and forth delays.

Awards number 2 : You have to put up names. Pick from the CHAN team, Home based SE, U23, U20. Any names you can remember.

Award number 3: Ramon Azeez is NOT NEW to the SE. He is a Returnee and so not eligible for Nominations. If a player like Enyeama comes back will you call him a New inclusion into the SE?

Awards number 9: Joe Aribo is not eligible. Please go check his age.

Award number 10: Joe Aribo is not eligible, because he has been capped already. That award is for uncapped foreign born players only.

Please do these amendments as quickly as possible.
I don't agree with you on Ramon Azeez because he was never part of the SE except for the 3 games he played at the world cup in 2014, nothing to liken him with Enyeama. So, leave as it is.

3 to 4 of the committee members nominated him, I don't think your opinion carries weight in this case. EOD

Sadiq is almost 23.

Has played professional football for 6 years plus and 75 games since 2014 that's not good enough. Why so few games if he is so good.
D
He has played in a number of leagues Eredivisie, Seria A and B, Scottish premier league and now Serbian league.

Prior to playing in the Serbian league has not been outstanding. He just been at best average if not below. Before he went to Rangers the highest number of games he played in a season was 12 games that's very poor to be honest. He has never played more than 17 games in a season in his entire career. And that has been at higher sub10 rated leagues in Europe.

That will change now in Serbia now for him. If he had not been to other leagues before going to Serbia. I would be very optimistic. So he has to get to better league to prove his quality.

Scottish league is a higher rated league not in dispute.

Football is always about the HERE and NOW.

Quite recently Rangers beat Porto among other higher rated clubs. Who has Partizan beat in the UEFA of higher rating ❓

Let's look at value which club has the higher quality of players. We can look at in financial value of players, that's a good start. Just Morelos and Aribo in value and pedigree will exceed the total value of thier players. There are others attracting transfer speculation.

The most expensive player they have is Markovic has a poor reputation on and off the pitch. From his time at Liverpool.

Future look at the players of Rangers a club that Flanagan( former high flying Liverpool & England RB) is struggling to get game time.

I find no comparison between them in the HERE and NOW. If you use Transfer Market the club players in entirety are valued at £40 Million and l don't even trust thier valuation they are not very market responsive.

UEFA Partizan are in Group L the easiest group but have been generally poor. The only team that's quality there is Manchester United.

Rangers are in a far harder group but are second in the group. With Feyenoord ,Porto and Young boys. But are joint group leaders Celtic have 10 points and are top of thier group. An indication of how the Scottish league two top teams are progressing.

Will you agree it's much easier to go from Rangers to bigger clubs than Partizan.huh ❓

That's my take Rangers is ahead
When last did any Scottish team play in the UEFA Championship league? The Serbia league representative played there last season and is currently in the group stage this season.

Don't forget a Serbian club beat the current UEFA Champions 2 goals to nut last season. Can any Scottish team do that currently?

Partizan has only lost to Manchester United in the group. The other two games ended victorious and in draw. Nothing like generally poor as you portrayed. The same Partizan reached the round of 32 in the Europa League two seasons ago. When last did Rangers crossed the group stage? About 7 or 8 season ago?

The UEFA coefficient rating that placed Partizan ahead of Rangers is an indication of both teams performance in Europe.

If I go by your comment without going into full details, then Sadiq has played 122 games, scored 71 goals and assisted 25 times in the last 6 years. How about that?

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.

https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/16911034.steven-gerrard-umar-sadiq-must-raise-his-levels-if-he-is-to-feature-for-rangers/

Some of the fans not so savoury comments about Sadiq and his claims see below

https://rangers.vitalfootball.co.uk/huge-mistake-fraud-many-rangers-fans-slam-gerrard-signing-for-unneeded-outspoken-comments/

https://onefootball.com/en/news/rangers-fans-are-livid-after-umar-sadiqs-horror-performance-en-22385161?variable=20191126
I don't know about what really happened to Sadiq Umar in Rangers but I think he has performed in top 10 leagues in Europe since Eredivise is among the top 10 leagues.

However, if we put Rangers side by side with his current club, past, present and future, his current club is better.

Are we maintaining the names to be immortalized? We last used Ogedengbe, Keshi, Okwaraji and Yekini.

Please we need quick responses from committee members as this project has a time line.

Hmmm! Thought I saw this and quoted it!?

Anyway, someone should bring up an Idea then we can start from there.

The Onazi you are screaming up and down almost lost his leg in that game. So it was not possible to control the game with a less physical player.

It was not tactics that let us down. If not the French would not have resorted to dark tactics to win. We lost due to the dark game of the French.

Finito.
At least, you have admitted we lost due to dark tactics and not due to our inability to control the game with smallish Onazi. Thank you. EOD

I am not talking about Afcon qualifiers. I am talking about how Keshi played from the Afcon when I followed him. I can not make points from what I did not watch. I do jot know if Keshi was playing a long ball strategy then. I do not know if Uche played from the flanks. Did he play the ten role or as a point man etc. So you have debunked nothing.

Finito.
Keshi played the same way from qualifiers to the main tournament but since you admitted you didn't watch the 2013 AFCON qualifiers, case closed. EOD

First of all, the bolded is wrong. Uche was not main stay in the AFCON and our highest goal scorer was Emenike.
I am talking about 2013 AFCON qualifiers. Ike Uche was our highest goalscorer. Has that not debunked your'big striker'theory?
