@timbro, this ulefone Tiger, have you tried glo 4g sim on it, just wanted to know if it is compatible to glo 700 band.

I've not tried Glo 4g sim. Infact I haven't tried any 4g sim cuz I do my browsing with my Tab that supports 4g.

But the normal 3g is very fast. I use MTN and Etisalat on the phone. Very fast so I didn't bother to activate the 4g yet.

Below are the supported bands...

Freak101:
LOL its not about suffer.the itel s31 price increased because of the dollar...but this one dollar is appreciating naira,its safe to say that the price will be more affordable

Increased from which price to which price? A 1gb ram 16gb rom phone is not worth more than 12k

So Ibrahimovic got only 3 match ban for that elbow?

SMH...

40manlappy:
Thanks @timbros

Welcome

40manlappy:
Could you please give a personal review of the Ulefone Tiger? What are the pros and the cons?

Pros...

First of all, the battery life is super.
Design is sleek.
Browsing experience with the phone is very okay. Doesn't lag.
I haven't played a heavy game with it but all the reviews online says it can play any game seamlessly.

So far the only con I have noticed is the fingerprint sensor. Sometimes I have to touch it twice before it recognises my fingerprint. Maybe I'm expecting too much given that my Samsung Tab fingerprint sensor is too fast and more accurate.

Overall, the phone is a steal at 28k.

N.B: I haven't had time to push the phone to its limit yet. I do almost everything in my tablet so the phone is mainly for receiving calls and light browsing.

Just saw this online. Could this really be a leaked image of our 2017/18 kits?

Typical Nike design.

Hmm, you are beginning to make me like this Aliexpress thing.

lol

consumingfire:
Honestly, we dey over suffer.

Every since I discovered aliexpress, I hardly buy things here except what I need sharp sharp.

TeamLeader:
Thank God Buhari is not around sha

Please I need stock rom for Pipo T3. Thanks a lot.

Nihilist:
Yeah.

I don't think any short players should play today, West Ham's aerial threat is a really troublesome concern. That height advantage is a really really big deal.

I propose we also bench Kante Hazard and Pedro for RLC, Chalobah and Solanke

You dey crase I swear.

I only spot the sarcasm for the last paragraph.

@donjazet If e no be Azpi e no fit be Azpi... Matic for Fab though.

FBS:
Lol. Wetin you find come?

This section na my area o.

raumdeuter:
No one can score all the chances. Even if ball is on goalline and no keeper some people will still miss

True.

That is why we shouldn't look down on penalty goals. If one can miss a goal when the ball is practically the touchline (Yakubu, Kanu), how much less a player 12 yards out with a 'keeper in front of him.

I'm not even talking of the pressure that comes with taking a penalty sef.

donjazet:
@ timbros, you definitely know that taking penalties isn't really a 'special skillset' every penalty is either an 80:20 situation or 70:30. But odds are always very high on scoring a penalty no matter who because it's much easier. Milner has 7 EPL goals, that is higher than sane, Erickson, sterling and Ross Barkley but would you say he is a better goal scorer than these guys??
This is Ronaldo's worst season, he has 18 league goals of which 6 are penalties. Everyone knows he hasn't really been at his usual best this season but you can see how the penalties have bumped his stats.

If Costa was our penalty taker, he would be up there at the top of the log, that goes to show how high his conversion rate has been.
Penalties just pad goal stats which you know don't tell the whole story.

I told you earlier the reason for my earlier comment about penalty.

Penalty goals are as important as other goals.

CONTEDDICTED:
If your life depends on a game, say if your handpicked team loses, you die.... And you have to choose between a forward with 12 goals and 4 assists but 22 goals if you consider penalties and another with 16 goals and 9 assists without penalties,Your pick sir.

Will you pick a poacher with little link up with teammates or a Tall, Elegant predator with nice technique.....We are talking about a CF that scores a goal for every 30 touch he makes

Are you willing to play sudoku with your life because you hope to get a PK? Especially when you have a PK specialist like Hazard in your team

Lacazette in our team would have 12 goals because he is not gonna take penalties

I'm not comparing strikers here. Get that fact. Stop listing players with penalty goals here and there for me.

I will repeat for the last time, my point is penalty goal is as important as other type of goals. A goal is a goal.

An acrobatic goal counts as one. A thunderbolt goal counts as one goal. A looped ball from the center circle is one goal. A penalty goal count as one goal.

A goal is a goal.

Stop sorting out penalty goals in a players stats. The same way you sort out Matic's assists as 'mere flick ons'.

BluePearls:
Thanks for straightening that out...Btw any idea how much GTB charges for MasterCard?

I got mine a long time ago. I think it's 1k. But Access charged me 1.1k few months ago.

raumdeuter:
A goal is a goal agreed but how many times will a player
1. Have the luxury from 18yards,
2. No defenders pursuing or challenging you,
3. The keeper isnt allowed to move before you
4. You settle down think for as long as you want before shooting

If na the test for all strikers be this everyone will be scoring 100 goals per season

Not always. Agreed.

But if penalty goals are that simple to score why do great players miss them, even decisive ones?

donjazet:
I beg to differ. A key characteristic of a striker is his accuracy. Penalties are not a yardstick to use in judging a strikers accuracy because they are much more easier than scoring from open play.

And you can not say that all goals are the same. Freekicks displays a players technical ability and it would be fair to say those types of strikers are the most efficient and effective strikers.
Heading of the ball simply boils down to height and lifts/ jump power, you would hardly see a short striker scoring headers. I am simply trying to correct your notion that all goals are equal.
More so, there is no striker that you would say is very bad at pk. You might say they miss a considerable number and other strikers might have better conversion rate but the penalty goals they've scored will always be much higher than the ones they've missed because most penalties are just a 70:30 situation for the striker.

I believe that discounting the penalty goals would be a much better indices to use in judging a striker.

Read my post again. I never said all goals are equal as per QUALITY. What I keep repeating is "A goal is a goal". Any how the goal comes, whether beautiful or by scrambling, it's a goal. There is no quality of goal that will be counted as 2. A goal is a goal. That's the angle I'm coming from.

Everyone in this board agrees that the major stats used to judge a striker is goals and assists. Do we still have to sort the quality of goals? What about tap ins? Why not sort out tap ins also? Why only penalties?

The primary objective of a football game is to win a match. How do you win a match? Simply by outscoring the opponent. And penalty is one of the legal way to score a goal. So why would you minus the penalty goals of a player when we start comparing strikers?

I made my comment because of Bigkesh argument that Icardi is a better striker when compared to Lacazzette BECAUSE Lacazzette scored 48% of his goals from the penalty spot. Is that even a point? There is a reason why every team has a penalty taker.

Goals scored is the bone of contention in their argument and Lacazzette clearly is ahead of Icardi. Sorting out the goals scored from the spot is not even a point.

Note here that I am for neither the Lacazzette nor the Icardi camp. I don't really rate any of them. I just wanted to make that point that every goal is a goal.

BluePearls:
I'm a little confused guys and I think it's because I'm getting info from different sources. On here GTB MasterCard is recommended, and in some other group GTB Visa was recommended. I just like being certain before making any moves and I'd love for someone to finally put me straight concerning which to go for.

Secondly I'm looking to get the Mi Note 2, can someone recommend the best shop. Thanks in advance.

I have never seen a GTB visa card before. Only Access Visa card.

FBS:
There is no better player like Power Amp. It just stands out and cost very little. Buy it.

Wetin you find come this side?

raumdeuter:
So if you're looking for a sharp striker you have 2 options one who scored 10 goals from open play and one who scored 9 penalties and 2 from open play which one will you pick.

James Milner, this Everton left back all have multiple goals this season from penalties will you count them as one of the best scorers in their team?

I'm not comparing players here.

I am only pointing out that penalty goals count as much as those headers, tap ins, thunderbolts, chips etc goals...

A goal is a goal.

We have players who are know as 'tap in' experts. Tell me which is easier to score, tap in or penalty? But how many times have we sorted out tap ins in a strikers stat?

It irritates me when people start sorting out penalty goals in a players stats.

Is penalty not a goal? Why will you minus it from a total goal of a player?

Is penalty even that simple to score? Great players miss decisive penalties every time. If penalty is that easy to score, Man Utd wouldn't have been 6th position in the table right now.

Every team has a penalty taker, free kick taker, right corner kick taker, left corner kick taker etc. Is it the fault of the penalty taker if his team gets penalty every time and he converts it?

If a player score 30 goals in a season and 29 of them are penalties and no one surpass that 30 goal mark, nobody will take 'highest goal scorer' award from him.

A goal is a goal abeg.

TeamLeader:

TeamLeader:

TeamLeader:

The key to online ordering is: PATIENCE

If you are not the patient type, you will just get frustrated because 2 weeks will feel like 6 months. But finally, your order will arrive.

I still have like 3 parcels on the way right now.

airmark:

My boy

Baroba:
None of that, you will get a tracking number.. Depending on the post office, they might just ask for a bribe ( I call it that as opposed to a token because it is illegal ) of 200 to 1k depending in your bargaining power..

I have never paid a single kobo to get my parcels. Them no fit try am for my side.

The last parcel delivered to me, it was my wife that collected it... The delivery man literally begged her for recharge card and she gave him #200.

I don't pay to receive my parcel o.
