Throwback Thursday: 23 years ago on this day, Chelsea played a PL game... in Coventry City shirts

How the heck did that happen?

On April 9, 1997, the team, who were managed at the time by legendary Ruud Gullit, travelled to Coventry for a Premier League clash.

The home team are known as The Sky Blues, and their home kits, naturally, had the same colour.

Dermot Gallagher, that game's referee, ruled that Chelsea could not play in their blue shirts, as it would cause a clash of kits.

The problem was that Chelsea had bizarrely forgotten to take their away kit to Highfield Road! The only shirts they had were the blue ones which even caused a 15-minute delay before the kick-off.

The only way out was what you see in the picture: Chelsea had to don Coventry's away balck-and-red checkered shirts. They did, however, kept the rest of their kits.

That was not a lucky change for the West London team: they lost 3-1 despite Mark Hughes' opener at the end of the first half.

All this yoruba news paper why always amaechi name making headlines

mrvitalis:
Technicians not engineers for heavens sake

Repair , maintaining and installation are not jobs of engineers but technicians

if you dont what to say why not you keep quiet

Where is the picture

Fake news

Nice work op. Nigeria will be great

rattlesnake:
islamic agenda

when dangote was investing his money people from your Christian agenda are busy looting their member dry. No body stop your Christian agenda from building palm oil refine plant.

Will the citizen's adhere to this intrusction from the government. We the citizen's are our own problem not government

Coregists:
So quick to effect the changes because it favours them, this minister of Justice is not just it at all. It's like he is working against anything good

it favors all all political office holders.
Eg. wike the river governor the pdp ranting man will not vote in pdp convention or amaechi the super minister of transportation will not vote in apc convention, cos the are political office holder and you tell me that you practising democracy.

Just to cover up. Mr putin your days are number on earth

BLoomfrancs:



Tribal goat like you.

The Igbo gene is the answer. Why other tribes wey dey school for that same place no achieve the same feat.

since is an igbo gene why cant your igbo land produce more people like her in your igbo land. All ways claiming responsibility of other people's effort in education. When the school in your igbo is nothing to write home about. Pls hide your face

Why all this tribal talk here, mean while they all study in school outside igbo land. you guys should hide your faces in shame

Juliusmomoh2:
very shameful of this country

what is shameful here is people like you that can never take blame their failure rather shift the goal post to blame their family members. Is just like going out with your father car and running out of petrol on your way to your destination, instead of taking the blame you shift the blame to your father

Please I beg you never listen to them. All we need now is focus and not distraction.

jimter44:

This section of the new electoral Act is inconsistent with the constitution. The grand law of the land says a person shall resign 30 days to the day of his election. The general election is next year. The government appointees still have many months to stay in the office before they resign.

this section of the new act is only dealing with parties convention. And Congress, any government office holder or appointee can stay away from the Congress delegate list

Some of you should have better understanding of the section of the act before you can share your thoughts. In a simple term what the section stand to prevents is that you cant not be a government office holder or a government appointee, and still vote or be voted for in any part primaries, or Congress. If you most vote or voted for you have to resign your current position.
My question now is which government office holder or an appointee will like to resign his position because we want to be a delegate in political parties primaries

Nonpartisan1:


They must have thought the National Assembly would accede to Buhari's request to delete the controversial section.

Wahala dey

just listen to your self and your level of reasoning. Any government appointee both apc. pdp. apga. etc most resign his position. If he must contest any position, vote and voted for. Any their part primaries

Malory:
No questions about that. It is a done deal already. Nigerians have now seen that APC and Buhari came to kill and make life difficult for them hence won't hesitate in voting for the people oriented party the PDP. PDP is a goal come 2023. We move

during pdp sixteen years of misrule queues in the gas stations is every month thing. The queues you are seeing now in the gas stations is because of brainwashed people like that wants to carry riches to their grave. Leave APC out of this

Comradewhy:
You won't make any difference.

dangermouse:


Quite the opposite.An orderly can go queue up and get his food on his own. Buffets are always arrayed right close to the guests and as a guest all u need do is queue and make a choice of foods on display.
Once you are inside the event hall, you have access to the buffet and the ADC definitely has access to the hall as his madam who is feeling to important to carry her own food thereby having the ADC in tow to do that.
Its all in black and white.

I am not trying to cover any one here take your time and watch the video again you will notice that when they put the protein in that food the woman was not looking at the food which showed that the food belong to the police officer.

dangermouse:


Then what was the woman doing on the buffet queue with no plates or food on her? She must be excorting the policeman to go get his food abi?
For a rule policemen don't eat while others are doing so . They eat either before the event or they will give them take always to eat after they must have left the venue.
We should learn to call a spade, a spade. What that woman did is all shades of wrong and should be frowned at.
So many unprofessional people in our named forces.

This is not new in the land. Some good employee Will asked their security guard or divers to come with them and take what they will eat because in some occasions or events they dont allow some individuals into the hall, but an employee who have a kind heart and understands the importance of security personnel and their drivers will make sure they find food for them to eat before they will leave the event venue. I think that is what the lady is trying to do here.

talktimi:
Better for me in Rivers state, I don't see why the electricity generated here will be used to power Abuja and Gombe when I don't even have enough light. Everybody should carry their cross biko

Abeg delete number 5 because the price of the light will be high in urban area considering the cost of living

PencilBox:
I'm not a lover of war. But, where was the world when Israel was bombing Gaza and other nations?

When America was crippling Iran, where was the world?

So Russia is the first?

is invasion of country same as war between two countries

KingEverest:
Hmm he has been living there for some time so he's not just fighting for Ukraine he's fighting for his safety too, nobody should criticise Africans fighting for ukraine because it's our stupid leaders who have messed up Africa so badly now Africans prefer to die for other countries

if you dont what to say why not you keep quiet. Africans are they the only ones living in Ukraine.
