Joebie:Don't make jest of things you're not sure of. There have been cases in the past where MRI results vary at different time of testing. Anyway, there are things not meant to be discussed on public forum. But as an intelligent person which I presume you are, don't be quick to dismiss any theory no matter how allien it sounds at first. |

Please provide me any credible source showing it is actually a scientific theory. Take your time in this research. goldfish80: |

goldfish80:I tried googling that theory, can't find any evidence of citrus on MRI tests. I do find it strange because MRI simply looks at the fusion of growth plates and is considered 99% accurate. In poor countries, due to poor nutrition some plates might fuse a little later but it is usually not more than 2 years. |

Exclusive – Portuguese Club Snap Up Captain Of 2016 U17 & Three Other Nigerian Teens October 22, 201702 Portuguese third division side Vizela has concluded the transfer of four highly rated Nigerian teens including Abduljabbar Sani who captained the Nigeria U17 team of 2016. Highly rated right full back Isah Musa, and two other namely Emmanuel Kuku and Zakari Yaro both forwards were also snapped up by the team, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal. Already the quartet have resumed training with the Portuguese side who are currently top of the Campeonato de Portugal, Group A table with 14 points after six games. The club will be hoping the quartet help boost their chances of gaining promotion to the second division next season owing to their fine start to the season as they are yet to lose a game this current season. ” Vizela is a very ambitious club, so we took them there to help them get use to European football as well as the demands, all of them are yet to play any level of football so Vizela is a very good start for them”, Babawo Mohammed the agent of the quartet told ” They were among the boys picked from our last scouting tournament in Keffi, Nasarawa State. So we hope they progress as expected at Vizela. They have the talent to succeed no doubt”, he concluded. Daniel Martins -- OwnGoalNigeria |

tbaba1234:Everything cannot be found on Google. If only you know the panic and tensed atmosphere surrounding these players when they are getting close to MRI test date. These guys try everything out to best the system. I think a nutritionist suggested they take high doseage of citric acid prior to being tested. Do you really expect to find this kind of information on Google? There is a way around everything. |

TheGoodJoe:But you hail Gaurdiola because he likes his attackers to track back abi his set up at Man City ain't balanced again? The thing is that it's not just Gaurdiola, it's the trend in modern Football that attackers are expected to track back and wing backs are expected to give muscle and bite to the attack. Even the idea of pressing you so much love is a form of defence by the attackers. |

TheGoodJoe:It is a science that's is based on given parameters it's not an exact science it can not tell how exactly old you are. Your bone scans are matched against given parameters from which informed deductions are made. Is it possible to beat? Yes 100% because it's indicative and not absolute. Furthermore, physiological make up, environmental factors, nutrition and racial identify all impact on the final deductions. |

Sunday Oliseh bringing excitement back to Fortuna Sittard https://i1.wp.com/owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/image-61.jpg?resize=696%2C464 Imagine that you are in charge of a club struggling at the foot of the Dutch second division when Sunday Oliseh calls to inform you that he is available for the vacant coaching position. Fortuna Sittard's technical director, Charly Chudik, was surprised to hear the voice of the former Nigerian star late last December. The team seemed to be in a disastrous state in 18th place. Why would such a famous person be interested? And why would he get in touch instead of sending his agent, as it is usually done? The answer is simple -- Oliseh really wanted the job. "I received various offers after resigning from the Nigerian national team," he said in an interview with ELF Voetbal magazine. "A top club from South Africa, a club from Portugal and numerous national football federations approached me, but I wasn't interested. Family is the most important thing to me. I wanted to go to a place that would make me happy. Sittard is just 45 minutes by car from my home." Married to a Belgian, Oliseh lives in Eupen, and that is where he took his first job as a technical director in 2007, but left after six months because he didn't like working in the office. His first coaching experience followed at tiny Verviers in the Belgian third division, but then Oliseh became a pundit, and only came back to the dugout when Nigeria offered him the post in 2015. It was a short and very eventful affair, with Oliseh eventually choosing to quit over allegedly unpaid wages and return to his natural surroundings. Sittard, situated in Limburg close to the Belgian border, are a proud club of interesting heritage. They may have only won two cup trophies more than half a century ago, but spent long seasons in the Eredivisie and nurtured a number of quality players, including the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich midfielder Mark van Bommel. However, Fortuna were not fortunate at all following relegation in 2001, and went close to bankruptcy at least three times. Turkish businessman Isitan Gun took over in the summer of 2016 and saved them. "Without Gun, Fortuna wouldn't have been around these days. He brought stability to the club and appointed new people to the board," De Gelderlander journalist Robert Husken tells ESPN FC. The 2016-17 season was tough in the extreme, though, and coach Ben van Dael was fired following a terrible run of just one point from nine matches. Oliseh was waiting for that opportunity to offer himself, and the club got a coach they could never have dreamt of. During his illustrious playing career the Nigerian took part in two World Cup tournaments, scoring a majestic goal against Spain in 1994, won the gold medal at the 1996 Olympics, won the title in the Netherlands with Ajax, and represented Juventus and Borussia Dortmund as well. Now, as the first black African coach ever in the Netherlands, he has had to deal with a different situation. Fortuna played in front of empty stands in recent years, but Oliseh changed the atmosphere around the club almost immediately. He got off to a winning start at the magnificently named Achilles'29, and proceeded to get some outstanding results. The 5-2 win over Ajax reserves, having trailed 2-0 at half-time, was especially memorable and fans started to flow back to the stadium. Sittard only lost five times in the second round under the new coach and finished the season well above the relegation zone. Not all the reports were positive. Oliseh's spell with the national team was marred by conflicts with senior players, most notably the popular goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama, who was stripped of captaincy and forced into international retirement. Curiously, that was the case at Fortuna, too, as veteran captain Ferry de Regt left the club in the summer, having fallen out with the Nigerian. Assistant coach Tini Ruijs and goalkeeping coach Patrick Creemers left too, unable to work under Oliseh. In an editorial published in June, De Limburger journalist Patrick Delait accused Oliseh of installing authoritarian regime. "He behaves like a governor, and nobody dares to contradict him," he wrote. "By constantly sharpening internal relationships, the Nigerian is becoming a ticking bomb. He looks sympathetic on TV, but behind the scenes he is a wolf in sheep's clothing." So far, those pessimistic expectations haven't come true. On the contrary, Oliseh has made a phenomenal start to the season, winning five games out of seven, and only losing once. Following the 6-0 triumph at previously unbeaten Telstar last Friday, the biggest away win in club history, Fortuna are second in the table behind Jong Ajax, and technically lead the race because the Amsterdam side are ineligible for promotion. That is not the only record broken by Oliseh, either. Taking the previous season into account, Fortuna are on an unprecedented run of eight home wins in a row. And the first goal at Telstar was scored by 17-year-old sensation Perr Schuurs, the youngest captain in club history. Born in November 1999, he was given the armband in the summer by Oliseh, who explained: "If you are good enough, you are old enough." There is little doubt that Schuurs is a huge talent -- he was invited to train with Liverpool in the summer, while Ajax and PSV Eindhoven reportedly made offers to sign him. Oliseh certainly enjoys working with youngsters much more. Out went the likes of De Regt and 33-year-old striker Sjoerd Ars; in came exciting prospects like Portuguese duo Andre Vidigal, 19, and 21-year-old Lisandro Semedo. They are ably supported by two more 21-year-olds: Finn Stokkers and Djibril Dianessy. Having laid solid defensive foundations, Oliseh is letting his team play an attacking brand of football, with 21 goals scored so far. Talking to ESPN FC, Delait now admits: "Oliseh is a good motivator who is very strict with his tactics. Fortuna play as a unit under him." Husken added: "Sunday is a no-nonsense coach who is very clear on what he expects from his players. Having such a star on the bench makes a massive influence on the team." Few pundits expect Fortuna to keep running and gain promotion, but the youngsters are starting to dream big. "The spirit of the squad is truly incredible. I have to calm the players at times, because everyone is so hungry," Oliseh told AD recently. The turnaround had been phenomenal already and the Nigerian is making a name for himself as a coach. But the club will be wary, lest he be lured away from his home in Eupen after his contract at Sittard ends next summer. If he can gain promotion, though, managing such a tight knit team in the Eredivisie could bring some surprising results.

joseph1013:interesting read. It's apparent that Oliseh has a scatted and rebuild mentality. He also prefers to work with youngsters, most likely because they do not have the kind of ego older players have Oliseh must also be egoistic, hence his choice to work with young players who won't be as difficult to manage. Nice to know he successfully chased out the old captain and gave the armband to a kid. Similar to what happened between Enyeama and Musa He didn't really change his ways, but as can be seen, it is easier to be a radical change agent in club football than National teams. Best of luck to Oliseh, hope he continues to do more to give himself that legendary status...who knows? In a couple of seasons, he could be in the UCL with his boys |

All this dem say arguments, you hardly learn anything.. we keep arguing in circles. The MRI is a standard. It is here to stay. Any player who passes the test is within the age range. If you can't provide their original certificate to disprove it, just beat it. Modified We who are suppose to be repairing our image with the MRI science, are tearing ourselves down and trying to make claims about players who are most likely actually within the range. it's pathetic. Some of us will go all lengths to attempt to prove these players are all age cheats if we are paid. Kog45: |
