'Tis a welcome development where are those small boys who were running their mouths?

What pained me was how burna boy had the guts to diss MI now look at him going back on his word and allowing himself get embarrassed.

Amen.Really, what a lot of tenants need is just an education on the true position. All the best with your tenant.

Landlords are the cause of their own problems. Notice should be given within the term of the subsisting rent, not after.

when will ur messi win even a plastic cup for his country?

2005. Check the records.

ElCuajo:
He's not top 3 but he's defo top 10... Every team has different styles of play and roles for their DM's so it's counterintuitive to compare him to Casemiro & Fabinho whose teams have majority of the ball possession and as such will lead to them seeing more of the ball and taking more risks.

But as a generic as DM's come they win back the ball and stop opponent attacks through the tackles and interceptions which you've mentioned above and boy what a joy is he to watch using his spider legs win tackles and stop attacks.

FYI he's scored 2 goals in the EPL this season and he's had 84% successful passes, he's taking more shots at goal, he's more of an aerial target at set pieces now Maguire is gone at LCFC, and he's learning to dictate from deep under the illustrious Brendan Rodgers.

The only way is up for Onyinye Ndidi; it's best you believe the hype.

I think we may be about to witness another golden generation because there a few key players who are likely to achieve true greatness from this team most particularly:

Ndidi
Chukwueze
Osimhen

Lets reason as neutrals

For the first one, the ball hit a City's player hand first, and then a Liverpool's player hand, all in the box. If you were a referee, what foul would you call?

For the second one, Sterling was close to a defender, and deliberately played it on his hand. I quite agree that it could pass as a penalty, but then, if it was given, we would see 5 similar cases in one match. I feel the referee used his discretion and ignored it

So may I hear your views on both?

1. The ball hit the city player's hand but it was not a handball. the rules are clear:

"Premier League players will be allowed extra leeway when it comes to ricocheted handballs.

It is often impossible to avoid contact with the ball if it has deflected off the body of an opponent, team-mate, or even another part of the own player.

So a handball will not be awarded if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm directly from their own head/body/foot or the head/body/foot of another player who is close/nearby."

Ball clearly ricochets of Lovren onto Silva's arm. That is not a handball by the rules.

Then in the same passage of play, the ball is played onto Arnold's outstretched arm. here is what the rules have to say about that:

"If the ball hits a player who has made their body "unnaturally bigger" then a foul will be awarded."

by having his hand outstretched, he certainly made his body bigger. the ref has defended this by saying he didn't think it was intentional, but the intention is not the appropriate test. unnatural positioning is, and going by that, that was a clear penalty.

2. I didn' t see the second one but by narration, it should have been a penalty.

kilisi:
Going by your logic, it is not a penalty then since the ball hits Bernardo's hand before hitting Trent's arm.

A foul should have been awarded at the point it hit Silva's arm then. If it wasn't and the ref allowed play to go on, then those must be considered as separate incidents. So we can agree that possibly the ref got the handball calls wrong but then the Arnold one was reviewed by VAR and still denied which can't understand.

izzou:
I'm not sure you watched the match

Arnold was involved in both

I watched portions of the match. I think the article in the OP is referring to one of the incidents....that's the one I saw and I am talking about

edward1106:
Could you help us ask Trent if he did it on purpose or not so we agree with you.

Even as the law (Knowledge) stands, sometimes discretion (Wisdom) is applied.

the argument about whether Trent meant it or not is not relevant. At the beginning of this season, new rules were announced that stated intention would no longer be taken into account.

izzou:
There were two cases that had penalty controversies

Which one are you referring to?

The Arnold one

izzou:
Lol

When Firminho's goal was cancelled against Aston Villa because his armpit(abi armpit hair) was offside, who's agenda was clear then?

I'm not here to argue back and forth with you. Oliver was solely in charge of making the decision, and even if he gave the penalty, we all would live with it

But my point is if he had given that penalty, then we would be seeing about 5 similar cases on every match. Sterling purposely played it on his hand, and there was no other possible place to keep his hands.

Like your article said, his hands had to be somewhere

I'm a man Utd fan here so Ivan speak as a complete neutral.

A penalty is a penalty. If it means giving 5 penalties a game then they should change the rules not refuse to apply them. That was a penalty to me, and I believe it would have been called as such in many other games.

I don't know about conspiracy theories though.

The man would have sued and dealt with the policemen if it was his son or loved ones they flogged, but since it happened to his drive.

He will do nothing.

The driver is an adult. He can sue for himself sir.

Draw up a table showing the costs and revenues associated with each one over 5 years, 10 years and 15 years, including depreciation of the car and appreciation of the land.

Keep your figures conservative and realistic.

Saintp:
Soldiers all over the world invade other people's country but naija soldiers only get power on top of their own people. Very soon, the army will become the new mobile police, then mobile police will become regular police, then regular police will become vigilante.

Then vigilante will become what?

Nobody is asking about the type biz he's into

If you ask will the man come here to answer you?

I will reserve my comments until I know where the funding is coming from.

Just an injunction, nevertheless an important one. Nigeria is not in a state of emergency that would warrant such broad sweeping army exercises. It is highly undemocratic.

WriterX:
we are saying same thing bruh ,Nigeria is a good example where we have locally made and assembled weapons even if a bullet is 10k per round it wouldn't still stop criminals.

Correct

WriterX:
they can purchase guns from legal sources illegally so in a way they can walk into stores and purchase these weapons, AR 15 was Used in a recent mass shooting the person didn't show signs of a criminal or whatever when he purchased it, people k3ep cache of weapons at home someone may just decide to borrow any of them for unknown reasons and. turn criminal or mass killer.

If you purchase from a legal source illegaly, an illegality has still occured. Don't get caught up in hypotheticals. My point simply is, if you take away all legal prospects of owning guns, criminals will still find ways to get them. do you agree or not?

Xisnin:
The bold is a lie.
Criminals get their guns legally.
No, gun shops are not the only source of legal guns.
Buying a gun from a friend or stranger is also legal.

I don't understand what you are trying to pass across. All criminals get their guns legally? Some criminals get their guns legally? At least be clear on what you are trying to say.

And I put it to you that in the US it is impossible for a criminal to get a gun legally. Even if you are buying from a family or friend there must be a registration process which includes background checks.

And in any case, the statistics are clear that the vast majority of criminals either steal their weapons or buy them on the black market.
Be enlightened:

Good one but this is exactly the reason some people are advancing againt banning guns in America. They will say that if this family for instance, had no gun at home, the robbers would have succeeded. They forgot that if the thieves had to guns, they may not have ventured into such act knowing fully well the risks involved when using other weapons not as effective, efficient and fast like guns for robbery. There are still too many guns in America.

So are you saying that

1. in countries without guns, there are no violent break ins?

2. criminals cannot get weapons illegally?

Let me help you with the answers. Of course there are violent break ins. Two thieves aremd with knives or machetes coudl still have overpowered one man and his pregnant wife!

And good sir, criminals do not walk into a store and buy weapons, they get them illegally.

I find this news release a little strange. No pictures as usual? I hope this is not the army's attempt to mold public opinion into accepting their invasive operations in the south of the country.

Ordinarily, we know that the army has no intelligence infrastructure outside of active military zones. The DSS would have such a role and the necessary infrastructure, and would be the ones to intercept any potential plot before it goes active whereas the army could be called in afterward.

slam7000:
Supported. I was surprised to see this. Government can’t continue to give such freebies to fans. It doesn’t make sense.

People would pay to enter premier league football viewing centres to watch EPL but can’t pay to watch local matches live!

Npl teams should find ways of generating revenues and stop depending on state governors. They should work hard, be creative in getting their fans back.

Opening the gates wouldn’t solve anything. Interested fans will still come in their, spend their money on snacks and drinks, litter the stadium and walk away.

What else is opening the gates supposed to solve than to get people to come into the stadium?

Carmit:
Na Wetin dey kill naija football be this.
Aren't the clubs supposed to make money from ticket sales?
We know the bureaucracy involved with disbursement of funds should the government decide to pay the club for the tickets.

Rangers is a state-managed club sir. The government need not pay for the tickets as the revenue and expenditure of the club are indepenent of each other.

Jestin:
Kanu was one of the best in Arsenal but was not highly appreciated maybe because of his skin color.

FTC

was his skin clor different from that of henry, anelka, viera, campell, cole, gallas, lauren, eboue, toure, and others who became aresnal legends?

Why is this race card the first thing so many blacks love to jump on without even doing small anaylsis?

Sonfethopia:
Yakubu is Edo I to hes.youuba

Nope. There are lots of Edos/Warri people with Yoruba sounding names. Akpeyi is another example.

slyfoxxjoe:
Of course he would be the only African player to score a champions league hat trick on his debut at age 19 for Maccabi Haffia against Olympiacos. What kind of narrow spectrum is that? :/

The bolded is the stat sir.

Freemanbobble:
That goal when yakubu miss ehnnn
My grand Mama go score that goal

Anyway Edo state dey try for forward/ strikers/ top nine

Even Ahmed Musa mother is from Edo state

I swear Edo state dey ball. Them dey ball for Edo state

I thought I was the only one that noticed it.

oz4real83:
This is why other civilised countries are always scared and skeptical about sharing intel with Nigeria. We put everything in the news and scuttle investigations. I expected Efcc to have been carrying out discrete investigations on suspected individuals even without any petition or public knowledge. Prosecution will start after gathering enough evidence. America investigates even the Potus without his knowledge.

Try and read the post and understand it well son.

sleit:
Yep. I was wondering why the OP choose to contrast the two terms also.

Even a layman can decode that.

Now if he had contrasted blog writing versus article writing or maybe content writing that'd be better.

You see a lot of people mixing those up.

Should be content vs copy

babamadiba:
It was all over for them when Walter Onnoghen was removed. You think it was ordinary PDP suspended their campaign to protest his removal? APC where just smarter by removing him and putting men that will rule things in their favour.

That's not being smarter. Thats using the power of incumbency.

How this sort of news makes the front page on the same day it was announced that isis' new leader is a man named abdallah qardesh leaves me very curious. Is it that Nairaland mods do not watch news?
