“In Katsina where we (the club) (NASARAWA UNITED) played an away match recently, they threatened to kill our players and the referees if the home side did not win the match there.

“Because of that, two penalty kicks were awarded to the Katsina United team and they won. Why will anyone then expect us to watch and not do anything? It is not possible

@ DrLikita12, Odunayaw and others with interest in the NPFL, The about statement is exactly the view and standpoint of every supporter, Coache and management of all the Clubs participating in the LMC organized NPFL.

I mean, it's the case of you do me- I do you, Man no go vex according to P-Square Hit back in those days.

How do One expect The Nigerian football to move forward and attain the desired lofty height targeted?

It's a pity that we are still Where we are at present in this age that world Football had seriously metamorphosed beyond what our League system is experiencing.

Worst of it all is that this is still happening inspite of the recent Next TV Broadcast agreement reached already?

Is it this kinds of messages that we shall be relaying to the rest of world? In the name of quality Football and spirit of sportsmanship?

It's simply a pity, pathetic and agonizing picture from NIGERIA at this age. I weep and remain saddened at this time already absolutely.

NASARAWA UNITED vs PLATEAU UNITED Match MARRED As Crowd Invade Football Pitch

Published yesterday at 09:53 PM by: Olusanya Akinrinola

Hosts Nasarawa United Football Club and Plateau United Football Club of Jos on Wednesday in Lafia ended their Match Day 4 clash 1-1, with an orgy of violence trailing the game.

After the game at the Lafia Township Stadium, the Match Commissioner, Centre Referee and the two Assistant Referees were among those who suffered attacks.

Also, Bala Nikyu, the Head Coach of Nasarawa United, was among victims of the attacks instigated by fans who felt that the match had been poorly officiated.

Players and officials of Plateau United FC were forced into the middle of the pitch till police reinforcements were in place to ensure their safety out of the stadium.

Even before the end of the 2019/2020 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) fixture, tension had heightened in the spectators stands.

There was agitation among the home club fans about the club’s poor performance since the beginning of the new season, and a good result was needed to douse tension.

When Nasarawa United’s Anas Yusuf scored in the 43rd minute, it seemed possible the home side would record their first win of the season.

But a glancing header by Mustapha Ibrahim made it 1-1 in the 54th minute to change the match’s complexion and for the fans to begin to express their frustration verbally.

NAN reports that the situation got worse with centre referee Bashir Salihu’s decision to overlook a tackle on a Nasarawa United player in their opponents’ penalty area late during the game.

The angry home fans were then joined by other fans who trooped into the stadium after the match ended, throwing stones, chairs and other objects at the referees.

It was during the attack on the match officials that an object hit the head of Nikyu, who was then quickly attended to by the club’s medical team.

In a reaction, Eche Amos, the Media Officer of Nasarawa United, who expressed sadness over the incident, blamed poor officiating for the violent melee.

“It’s quite unfortunate what happened today, but I think that our referees need to up their game, because part of what caused this situation is poor officiating,” he said.

A Nasarawa United FC supporter, who preferred anonymity, said that aside the poor officiating, the fans were also reacting to the way “Nasarawa United players had been treated in away fixtures recently’’.

“In Katsina where we (the club) played an away match recently, they threatened to kill our players and the referees if the home side did not win the match there.

“Because of that, two penalty kicks were awarded to the Katsina United team and they won. Why will anyone then expect us to watch and not do anything? It is not possible.

“If this league must move forward, there must be fairness both for away and home teams so that even if you lose at home, you can still have hope that if you go away and play well, you will win,’’ he said.

See this yeye boyfriend Lol. You're stylishly mocking me abi. 3 wonderful posts for my darling eagles. Don't worry, soon I will be more regular than you. I hope Osimhen keeps giving me joy.

Now where is the mocking again when your post are really wonderful as you are already.

Me with close to 6,840 posts has never gotten anything near wonder appreciative comment let alone wonderful.

It's not how long but how impactful have been the comments/Posts Just like you have beaten me to it already inspite of my long stay here.

We are definitely looking forward to 'U' keeping to your words yet again now with your latest assertion of being regular than myself like TheSuperNerd did admonished you earlier Today ooo

darkelf:
Wow. No wonder they have a good working relationship till today...as per Scout Agali

Yes and very true indeed.

TheSuperNerd:
Na wa ooo... This your passion must be stronger than mine. Me and others here wey don move on tey tey. Oya, be sad no more... Didn't you see the Lesotho vs Nigeria game? Couldn't that cheer you up a bit?

Oya view the highlights here below to cheer up a bit aiit...



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPUTm4oVsuo

Euniceadetun is very passionate about Everything NIGERIA indeed going by her comments already.

It takes much more than passion to only enjoy Club Football for pass time only without any loyalty but to the National Team only.

TheSuperNerd:
Honestly e don tey wey Rohr don dey work with Naija players. Lol... And I remember that game in 2004. The Agali hattrick in France. Was still in Junior Secondary school.

But I never knew the coach of Agali back then will be coaching our darling Super Eagles now. Truth is, I never bothered knowing his name in 2004. I never heard of Rohr back then. Lol

Frankly speaking, ROHR has been there all along silently unnoticed not until I now.

To know about his knowledge of Nigerian football and Players dating back to 2004 is something commendable and heartwarming in truth.

No wonder a pretty much perfect relationship had emerged between himself and his former player in Victor Agali like darkelf had earlier posited

TheSuperNerd:
Keep your words Ma'am. We never see you here since you said this. And I sight you at the door peeping in now....

Cc Kbs468... See the lady you engaged that day.

Yes ooo. Runaway Euniceadetun.

You shouldn't be blamed though for you seemed to be the shy-type pretty Angel going by the fact that you could only manage just 3 post in an incredible 9 months!

The only motivation however is that all posts from you are related to your Love and passion for your darling Football Club-The Super Eagles of NIGERIA

Come on, Not withstanding anything, just continue to keep us company okay.

Francis Uzoho - one of the best goalkeepers in Africa

This gotta be a joke!


O pari

Certainly not a joke Brother.

Football is not all about featuring regularly but most definitely all about how impactful a player is on the field of play and that is one thing with UZOHO as against AKPEYI that has featured regularly that UZOHO.

A similar situation analytically applies to ONUACHU and some others

@ Charlesemeka85, It's good to know about Mr Tunde Adelakun and the Nff,'s activities in relation to those oversea groomed Nigerian footballers

And particularly of interest is the admission that only the Players that qualifies for the areas requiring reinforcement are on to their radar rather than turning NIGERIA into a dumping ground for all comers in the name of foreign breed irrespective of quality cum excellence

I am saying Iwobi is critical to the super eagles now. Key player. We have no replacement for him.

charlesemeka85:
Former Tottenham defender Alan Hutton has criticized Liverpool-owned winger Sheyi Ojo over his inconsistent performances for Rangers.

Ojo has been involved in 10 goals (5 goals, 5 assists) from 23 appearances across all competitions since his arrival at Rangers in July.

Speaking to Football Insider on Thursday, Hutton who was on the books of the Gers between 2000-2008 enthused that the Nigerian has yet to truly show the qualities which pushed his manager Stephen Gerrard into bringing him to the club.

"One that springs to mind is Ojo. He's been very in and out, he came with big promise", Hutton was quoted as saying.

"I still believe that he's got all the ability. Obviously Gerrard hand-picked him, you know that he's got something and I do believe he's shown flashes of it.

"I think he needs to be more consistent, at teams like Rangers and Celtic you're a bit under the microscope, you can't just have the one or two good games, it needs to be seven or eight good games out of the ten.

''Maybe that's where he's finding a bit difficult. I'd like to see a little bit more, hopefully we can see more."

The 22-year-old who is spending the whole of the 2019/20 season at Rangers has only been afforded 13 first-team appearances at Liverpool since his debut.

He spent time out in loan with Wigan Athletic, Wolves, Fulham and French club Reims before moving to Rangers.

Well, I want to disagree a bit though because the 26 appearance is not a yard stick, instead, it's the 13 starts that should be considered because for the remainder of 13 matches as a substitute, he might just be featured for the last 5-10 minutes and I have serious dislike for such kinds of managers with such mentality of substitution.

When you don't get enough playing time and they want you to perform wonders for few minutes of football. I feel for footballers sometimes

tbaba1234:
Iwobi has been one of the most important Nigerian players in recent games. Criminally underrated.

I'm not disputing his importance because I had more than once described him as one of those Players that have played better in Eagles shirt than they do for clubside.

But he could have done better than he had done if and only if my initial reference was the case and that is the reason for his injury free status for 5 years ascription.

andrewbaba44:
Messi has no problem but the coach and expecially the board

If Messi can love ansu fati why can’t he also love victor ?

You get right ?

.
Yeah I got you clearly but remember that Barcelona is no longer invincible for if not MESSI'S quick return from injury, what would have befallen Barcelona by now?

His feat that has placed him as the second highest behind Benzema after returning from injury. Even SUAREZ too.

Coupled with the fact that MESSI is aging already at 30-31?

In 3-4 years time, he would be 33, 34-34, 35 while OSIMHEN would be 23-24, just the right time to dominate anywhere.

So, The board would have no choice but to give him the opportunity to excel for their own good and success.

He needs to be somewhere else like he is now for playing with and opportunity for improvement before the next 3-4 years though

Your kind attention is needed. Time to consider breaking up this thread and creating a new part 2. We are on 7740 pages! Way too much.

What are you saying Oga? Did you actually read the thread's Topic before posting your comment above or you did the opposite?

Certainly, It's the opposite that you did because if you had done otherwise, you would have seen

1. AFCON 2021

2. Qatar 2022

3. Have noticed that 1 above is already underway competitively

4. Within the period 2016 and now, lesser Eagles- CHAN Eagles had been busy with their various schedules including WAFU engagement

5. U 20 had been busy too

6. Not forgetting the recently concluded U 17 World cup won Brazil

7. What about the OLYMPICS EAGLES via the U 23 Nations championship in Egypt very much underway even though We are out of reckoning already?

8. You can see from 1& 2 above that we have covered no ground yet until probably the end of 2022 after the World cup fiesta

9. So, Approximately, before your request can be granted, Until the next 3 years or thereabout

10. So, Brace up for more pages, Bookmark the Thread and then come back later after 3 years from Today and remind the moniker you quoted above about your interest and request accordingly.

Thank you.

OMANBALA1:
Succinctly put, he rarely keep the ball on his feet for more than 2 secs. Nigga is always in a hurry to release the ball like he doesn't want to be held accountable if they lose possession of the ball. This attitude is the reason why he rarely make any impact in games...shame

You read me very well. If he had been like ARIBO has been lately, he would have gotten more than 7 Goals in 40 super Eagles shirt by now.

iSlayer:
Let's all take it easy. Nobody is perfect, however some of us are mischievous. It's something you just smile away.

Thanks Brother for it's a forgone conclusion already. Although you are just coming across it. So No problem

LaMujer:
So, MFM have won their 2 away matches, but drawn their 2 home matches. What kinda form is that one?

Very funny. Although same had happened to Chelsea this season under LAMPARD already the eventual turn around later on- I mean, Good away for and slips before finally settling down after securing his first home win as the manager

andrewbaba44:
Barca won’t buy victor and you know this

If he even goes there he might be treated badly

Yes I know it would be difficult but just saying that out of patriotism though.

Well, should he gets in there out of the blue, MESSI could extend his likeness to OSIMHEN and gbam! The success floodgate would just be let loose Since he practically dictate anything and everything BARCELONA.

Is an understatement

Has the NTA commentator has gone into sports blogging?

RB Salzburg is in Austria and not Germany.

It was copied from Football London site ooo.

I didn't even took notice of that. I can only remember the statement that the Same people owns Salzburg and RB Lipzig

komekn:
In terms of what he is doing for club and league his quality is better than Uzoho. Who had not attained those accolades before being invited.

Invitation is not selection.

Let him come to camp and let the best goalkeeper be selected, no prejudice.

Which Ejimadu is better than UZOHO in a US division 3 club?

Which kangaroo award by Fans in division 3 in only 12 Matches under his belt? Hasn't he been conceding Goals at all?

Please just check the below for yourself.

PHILIP EJIMADU

Ejimadu played in the youth academy of Nacional Atlético Clube in São Paulo, Brazil before returning to the United States to go pro.

He signed with Major League Soccer outfit, Los Angeles FC on February 21, 2019.

On March 29, 2019, Ejimadu went on a season-long loan to third-division, FC Tucson.

The next day, Ejimadu made his professional debut for FC Tucson starting the entire match in a 3–1 victory at Orlando City B.

International

Ejimadu is eligible to represent Brazil, Nigeria, and the United States on the international level.

In 2018, he was called into the training camp for the United States under-20 national team.


FRANCIS UZOHO

Born in Nwangele, Uzoho joined the Senegal branch of Aspire Academy in 2013, aged 14;initially a forward, he was converted into a goalkeeper after being deemed "too slow" at the age of 12.

In 2016, after impressing on a tournament in Barcelona, he joined Deportivo de La Coruña's Juvenil squad.

Age rules meant that Uzoho could only become available to sign a contract with Dépor in January 2017;[6] shortly after signing his contract, he started to train with the first team.

Promoted to the reserve team ahead of the 2017–18 season, he made his senior debut on 10 September by starting in a 3–0 Segunda División B home win against Real Madrid Castilla.

Uzoho made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 15 October 2017, starting in a 0–0 away draw against SD Eibar.

At the age of 18 years and 352 days, he became the youngest ever foreign goalkeeper to debut in La Liga, and the second-youngest player to appear in the league during the campaign, only behind Real Madrid's Achraf Hakimi.

On 24 August 2018, Uzoho renewed his contract for three seasons and was immediately loaned to Segunda División side Elche CF for one year.

In February 2019 he moved on loan to Cypriot club Anorthosis Famagusta, in the search for more first-team football in the run up to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

After making his debut for the club, concerns were raised about his health certificate.As a result, Anorthosis Famagusta were deducted 9 points, which they appealed.

The club's deduction appeal was rejected, although Uzoho's appeal against his personal penalty of a one-match ban and €1,000 fine was successful.

In July 2019 he returned on loan to Cyprus, this time with Omonia. He said he hoped his return to the country would be positive.

International

Uzoho represented Nigeria under-17s at the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup. Aged only 14, he was an immediate backup to Dele Alampasu.

In October 2017 Uzoho received his first call-up to the Nigerian senior squad.He made his full international debut on 14 November, replacing Daniel Akpeyi in a 4–2 friendly win against Argentina.

He was named in Nigeria's 23-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. By that time he was considered Nigeria's first-choice goalkeeper.

He withdrew from the national squad in November 2018 due to injury.

He was a squad member at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

Francis Uzoho was in goal for Nigeria in the 3rd place match against Tunisia.

In October 2019 he suffered a ligament injury in a friendly match against Brazil, and underwent surgery in November 2019.

samtol4:
You can't compare records of Musa and Henry in the super eagles! Moreso Musa is the captain

Agreed that it's because MUSA is the Captain.

But how did himself started in the National Team that he had raked in 91 Caps With only 15 Goals to his name at 27 years of age?

He could even break the records of 101 caps set by YOBO & ENYEAMA

Compared to IWOBI's 40 Caps and 7 Goals.


Oga, If ONYEKURU is getting played and scoring consistently, ROHR go call am oo.

Abi what would you say about ONUACHU? Is it not because he is scoring regularly in BELGIUM? Despite his so far disappointing & unimpressive display record for the SE?

Eartquake1:
No scout takes the Turkish league seriously

A league that is more interested in catering for old cargoes than brooding young talent, if he likes let him score 30 goals in Gala Rohr no go look im side

I plead to disagree that ONYEKURU wouldn't be looked at by ROHR after netting 30 Goals as a Nigerian Player?

No no no. That can't be the case.

I mean, Has any Nigerian Player ever achieved such a feat before? Who? When? Where? How come I didn't know about it?

I had a very good day yesterday and was clowning around for the most part, even with the Awaziem thing, so, if you read frustration in those words, it was definitely your own frustration.

Please, don't be quoting me with all your incorrect assumptions. I even said he shouldn't mind us, but you are reading frustration

Abeg abeg abeg. OMANBALA1, please there is no frustration anywhere biko.

Make we just die the matter ooo.

Muyi Hankuri da juna fa. Let's tolerate (be patient, friendly, Humane) one another please

Eartquake1:
Exactly

Agreed but Turkey is still an European Country though.

Besides, the deal was rumoured to be a loan move though, so if he gets enough playing time overwhelmed with More than enough Goals, He could be repositioned for a much more improved Experience with his present Club as well.

Eartquake1:
Rohr will not look at him at Turkey

I don't think that would be the case if he keeps banging in the Goals because AHMED MUSA is being called inspite of being in SAUDI ARABIA.

Or do you believe it's because he is the captain?

andrewbaba44:
Is Arsenal buying this guy to bench lacazette or Auba?

Probably Auba because he has been reportedly refused to sign a new contract following BARCELONA's on him.

Barcelona should just re-intensify it earlier interest on VICTOR JAMES OSIMHEN because AUBA is just as old as LUIZ SUAREZ he is to replace. OSIMHEN is younger and hungrier

Instead of EMERY to give MARTINELLI as much Chance as SAKA in the EPL, look at what he is chasing.

So WENGER did with GNABRY and see what he has into at BAYERN MUNICH

ARSENAL handed huge boost over MANCHESTER UNITED in ERLING BRAUT HAALAND transfer chase.

Arsenal news including the latest reports over the Gunners' chase for the teenage striker

Arsenal and Manchester United transfer target Erling Braut Haaland has reportedly visited Arsenal's training ground in what could be a major boost in the Gunners' hoped of landing the striker in January.

German outlet Sport Bild (via the Mirror ), claim that the Red Bull Salzburg player, who is said to be of interest to both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Unai Emery has travelled to London Colony with his father to check out the facilities on offer at the training ground.

Braut Haaland is one of the most sought after strikers in Europe after scoring 26 goals in just 18 appearances for the German side so far this season.

The report suggests that both Arsenal and Manchester United have been quoted a fee of around £85 million for the 19-year-old wonderkid.

However, there could be a hurdle to overcome should Arsenal wish to complete a deal for the teenager, with the report also claiming that the player's father, Alf-Inge Haaland, who was a player himself is advising his son to head to Germany before moving to the Premier League, with Bundelsliga giants Bayern Munich waiting in the wings.

It is also reported that a cut price deal of just £25.7 million could be offered to Bundesliga club RB Leipzig, who share owners with Haaland's current club.

Arsenal are likely to have to break their transfer record of the £72 million paid for Nicolas Pepe should they wish to sign the Norwegian international.
