The ref wouldn't have been a factor if the 9 other players weren't strolling back instead hurrying to defend a free-kick in their 18 yard box.
Let's not even discuss Campbell/Fabianski,because their respective roles in this fiasco have been overstated.
Blame your players first before the ref.The ref is being made a scapegoat for your team's failings at the back.
If your backline were alert to their duties,the ref wouldn't be a celebrity thanks to Gunner fans.

Oh just shut up and away with your selective analysis,I see how convenient it's for you to yada yada about nada.Hellooooo,do you remember that before the counter attack that led to that incident,Rozzy was fouled right in Porto's 18 and the ref refused to award the penalty?

So it's happened,it's happened,we've moved on,don't forget Porto'll still come to the Emirates for the reverse fixture,so bother less about EMIRAATI affairs

I recall being uncomfortable with the former thread topic rider entitled "In Arsene We Trust",I'm glad somebody listened

Like some people have averred in their reactions to the judgement,I concur that the eminent judge,erred in her judgement as the defendant was an officer of the Nigeria Police and was dressed in full official uniform and perpetrated the criminal act with official uniform so the fine should have been against the Nigeria Police as an institution,this would have had the dual advantage of ensuring that the fine would be paid and having paid such fine,the force would then be forced to take steps to discourage their rank and file from unlawful shootings in future

Wherever is the constable likely to get N10 million to pay the fine,my suspicion is that he may appeal the judgement,even to the highest level and if eventually he loses at all levels may end up being remanded in prison custody(which is not what the appelant would have preferred)

What do you guys think?

Constable to pay N10m damages for shooting bus driver


Justice Olubunmi Oyewole of an Ikeja High Court on Thursday, ordered a police constable, Alibor Narman to pay N10m damages for shooting a commercial bus driver, Mr. Sunday Awoyera.

Awoyera had sued Narman for shooting him at a Police checkpoint in Igando, a suburb area of the state, while in company of his wife and children on August 2, 2008.

He also demanded N10m damages from Narman “for the infringement of his right to life and dignity of human person.”

In his judgment, Justice Oyewole held that with the medical report of the victim, “there was severe tissue loss and deep laceration of the mandible of the bones.

“I declare that the action of the police officer is unconstitutional, as it violates the applicant’s right to life.

“The dignity of the applicant has been significantly impaired upon, his person was trampled upon and he will live with the nightmarish incident.

“I hereby award the full sum of N10m jointly and severally against the respondent”.

The commercial bus driver told the court that the police officer placed the gun at his neck and pulled the trigger in the presence of his wife and children.

But Narman had through his lawyer, Chief S. W. Baidi, urged the court to dismiss the application of the commercial bus driver since his client name was not mentioned in the reliefs sought by Awoyera.

Awoyera had, however, through his lawyer, Mr. Simeon Oyeniyi, insisted that the erring police officer was guilty of the offence as charged.

So who are we blaming here for Arsenal's defeat yesterday? I have some options:

A. Fabianski
B. Arsene Wenger
C. Sol Campbell
D. Martin Hansson (the referee)

What's your stock in trade,dealing in spilled milk?

IMO it's not necessary,one thing's sure;Porto WILL be gunned down @ the Emirates with a vengeance

@ Bluediva

I can't help but commend your "strange" objectivity on our thread this time around,I'll try and return the favour next time you guys lose a game in the EPL(which I pray will be soon and on the bounce )

So as I don prize trouble so,let me go ahead and wish you a very lovely day ahead

sorry guys.the headline should read 'porto beat',not 'porto beats'.plz.

That's if you're taking it as part of a reported statement such as"In the match played two days ago between FC Porto and Arsenal,Porto beat Arsenal, "

So nuffin wrong with the thread topic as the teams were addressed in a collective noun case

pek:
a bit of English here:
collective noun take singular verb.
when we talk of collective noun, we are talking of those things that involve more than two person. a team is a good example. even if the team is made up of a million people, it is singular in concept. we say, the team is doing well and not the team are doing well. Porto is a team and as such the auxiliary verb will be singular.so, the caption is correct.

Nothin' do you bruv

Mr poster are you a PDP follower or member of tinubu camp

He's a member of Tinubu camp,even members of PDP with their many negative traits are more civilised,less desperate for power and have far less corrupt tendencies than tinubu and the band of corrupt boot lickers he leads in his camp

@OP
Please modify the thread topic to more aptly read

Danjuma stole $2 billion from Nigeria(through oil block) and hundreds of millions of dollars through official looting,but didn't know what to do with it

OMG,Nigeria football is truly at a crossroads,even wall ghekos now want to coach the Eagles

@ Peace

Is this your personal situation?

I’m still in charge of Eagles – Amodu
Despite recent reports and the decision of the Nigeria Football Federation to engage a foreign manager for the Super Eagles, coach Shaibu Amodu, who led Nigeria to Angola 2010, has said he is still in charge of the team.

Amodu told our correspondent on Wednesday in Lagos that working with the team B of the Super Eagles or working under a foreign coach was part of his contract with the Nigeria Football Federation.

He explained that his contract was clear that he was in charge or both A and B teams of the Eagles as well as other national teams.

The coach said, “I have no problem with the NFF. After the pressure and tension of the competition, it is obvious one needs rest. My contract is clear. The team B of the Eagles is my idea and so it is no big deal.

”I have not even seen any letter yet from the NFF and I no longer read newspapers because the criticisms have been too much from all angles.”

Section 10 sub-section 2.6 of the Amodu, NFF contract states, ”He (the head coach) must be irrevocably committed to work with the Technical Adviser, in the event the NFF decides to engage one.”

Also, Article 1.5 of the contract reads, “The national team(s) shall mean the senior male national team (A), the Super Eagles or other national representatives which shall be under the supervision of the head coach.”

Amodu added, “The chairman of the technical committee, Chief Taiwo Ogunjobi, said recently that I was in charge and my contract also says so.

“Let me also state that the NFF is still implementing my programmes till date. I have already prepared a programme for the March 3 friendly with Paraguay. I am just human and it is difficult to understand why people descended on me and the team heavily after the Nations Cup despite winning a broze medal at the event.

“My contract is my bible and so far I am still conscious of not going anyway out of the agreement I had with the NFF.”

Yes Amodu,we know,you're in charge of the HOME BASED EAGLES

Even if his resignation was not accepted,Jonathan should go ahead and employ a more pragmatic economist(petroleum economist) who will report directly to him even while the vermin called Lukman is still there

HNIC:
Anyone remebers the Rozzi penalty shout
If that wasn't a penalty,I wonder what is
Referee was a disgrace!!!!!!!!

Now that you mentioned it,I wondered if we all conspired not to talk about it,do you recall that Portos 2nd goal came moments after Rozzy's pen denial,if the ref had given the pen,Porto wouldn't have scored the second,who knows,we would(not may)have won,but all that is spilled milk now

The ref was a complete DISGRACE,I wonder why they make these mistakes at such top levels

Okay now,that's it 2-1 congratulations to Porto,they will come to the Emirates and will be the team to concede and get knocked out.Watch this space

HNIC:
Cut AW some slack also
Is it RVP,Eduardo or Ade that will come in?

Nope,his subs were dodgy
Hw removed the only player that was taking shots at goal;Rozzy and left Diaby who is under a curse that should he take just a single shot in this match,his balls will dissappear and he's die on the field

Diaby is an IDIO.T,why wouldn't he just SHOOT the fuc.king ball

Arsene has lost the plot
What's Eboue coming in for?

@ HNIC

Cut FAB4 some slack,the Porto squad is bent on removing his ankle,he's performed wonderfully under the circumstance

HNIC:
Why is Silvestre warming up?

snowdrops:
Wenger wants to concede another goal so the score would be 3 - 1

At least I can laugh

presido1:
Febianski was trying to buy time by holding the ball, the whistle has gone so he should not be in possession of the ball in the first place. The ref did whats suppose to be done.

Nobody has faulted the ref here,Fabiansky shoulda thrown the ball away,the worst the ref will give him is a yellow,and that'd be a wise decision by all standards,but a GOAT as ignorant as Fabby wont know that

snowdrops:
Your head dey shake?

Na ya own dey raggae,shake fire,Joseph Yobo will do better in goal than Fabiansky

HNIC:
Would have earned him a yellow card
Watch it again

My point exaclty,that woulda been the general idea,cop a yellow and avoid a goal,I'd say that's a good decision

OMG,Arsene why remove Rozzy and put Theo,why not remove Fabiansky and let Walcott keep  

akinalabi:
What I wonder is why Fabianski held that in the first place.

After holding the ball,he shoulda been clever and bought time by holding on to the ball while attempting to argue with the ref,or he could throw the ball away in annoyance,this will allow his defenders to fall back to position and defend the 6 yard box,he's just a ninny.PRONTO

Fabiansky should NEVER EVER keep for The Arsenal again,he's just a GOAT between the posts,he's gifted Porto two cheap goals

Now this ref is the classic definition of MORONIC

BTW Bendtner is USELESS with his legs
