It was just about unanimously accepted that Pinnick should continue so why the long faces now? It is like Americans getting angry at Trump for firing people when his claim to fame was saying"you're fired" on the Apprentice

The word groundsman does not exist in Nigeria. All it takes is to run a lawn mower over the pitch. They can even design it how they want this is not rocket science I could even do it myself with a mower.

And sprinklers to water the damn grass.

Had Giwa won, I don't wanna imagine how low we'd have gone now.

That we were once behind pinnick don't mean we shouldn't make observations when he's going off-course.

He don't have no pot belly?

He don't look like a herbalist?

How does my description of his physical attributes gets interpreted as insults?

The same way somebody called Rohr "an inept septuagenarian". grin

one fan's opinion might count for little or nothing, but never underestimate the power of an organized union of fans.


You think the SA FA is finding it easy with the way their fans are boycotting their matches? You think the players are having fun playing in an empty stadium on a matchday, not training?


You think the patronage of fans just stops at the buying match tickets? How do you think brands select clubs to sponsor? Don't you think that putting their brands in front of a massive but organized crowd extends their visibility?

Why do you think our government(s) past and present dread the possibility of their subjects uniting? They've long sown seed of discord between us to see that we never unite and as a result we are exploited.

So, I disagree with you, the opinion of the fans really do matter.

I don't think SAFA gives a hoot about what their fans think.. the Nelson Mandela challenge cup has been moved to Durban. another venue the fans don't like...

The point is you stand to lose. If it were your private company you can talk about how U don’t care what your customers think etc, at the end of the day it would defeat the purpose of why you started the business. The fans stand to lose nothing not attending the games.

The things we are known to fail at are not necessarily complicated. We just lack the will to do the simple right things.

Komekn please do you know of jayden Bennetts he plays for Watford U-18, I read he was allowed by his club to come to the Nigeria U-20 camp in Abuja.

I am sorry I really do not know him

However,, you must understand that there is no EPL club that doesn't have at least 10 Nigerian origin players in thier youth academy.

When you go within the London area Nigerian origin players make up double % figures in some of those clubs

Essentially, what I am saying is, Dem too plenty for one-to-one know them all.

He would prefer to play for Nigeria ahead of Ireland. He has good advisers. Nothing complicated. smiley

Don't think it's an issue or advise.

Where do a large percentage of Ireland players come from

Nigeria is on a higher level than Ireland even without FIFA rankings.

It's a " NO BRAINER "

Krattoss forgot that the Arsenal FC board sacked Arsene Wenger after the fans kicked against his stay. So called bosses forget where the true power lies when they get drunk with the loyalty of those below them. If there is a movement against the management, it will crumble.

real disgrace that we are taking our training and uganda friendly match to that potato patch all in the name of politics. it makes it even more annoying when you hear that the asaba stadium is supposed to be brand new. plus this annoying habit of governors dashing unaccounted money to national teams all in the name of ''motivation'' needs to be interrogated. heard okowa is even owing warri wolves players yet $25000 to do photo op materialized. smh our leaders we will overcome sha


The Mumuness of Nigerians is still fresh. When it is done and the people understand the true power lies in their hands, they will wake up and sort themselves out.

Our poor maintenance culture is birth from the same corrupt umbrella which those in position hide under. They do not want to pay money to people to think and work. They want to eat everything and waste it for praises. Just as their so called goal reward. Instead of contracting that money for pitch maintenance, they will waste it.

Ridiculous. Then campaign for Venue to score mediocre points.
