Seems a harsh 2nd yellow for Gabon.

Clear shirt pull on player off the ball, I think the ref was right.

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

What a goal!!!!

 

[JDH]

You know it was going in as soon as he loaded up

 

[phcitywarrior]

Its got to be either Agbonlahor or Onuoha.

Tbh Agbonlahor is too much of Brummie. He probably gets homesick if he's away from Birmingham for more than 24 hours

John Fashanu!!! He was ahead of my time that’s why. I think he was one of the first / more high profile cases.

Sorry, breh isn’t Igbo that might have thrown you off.

Yea Gabby I remember and Nedum was big during the 2010 WC. I remember watching a Super Sports show where the mentioned him snubbing the NFF and then someone had said he didn’t learn from Fashanu.

 

[Tanahashi Coates]

Ziyech again!

 

[Roberto Firmino]

Seems a harsh 2nd yellow for Gabon.

I thought so live but when you see it I think ref was right, moronic to do it right in front of him

 

[Sensitive Christian Grey]

Just watching it it looked like it was going in

Tammy been picking up of late. 16 goals in all comps, 9 in the Serie A.

If he finishes with 18-20 goals in Serie A and 25-30 in all comps then he’ll have had a solid first season in Rome.

 

[Roberto Firmino]

Was just coming into here to say 3 minutes seems on the low side and unfair to Gabon

 

[Ukbrotha]

Ohhhhh.. looks like AFCON loading up extra time.

 

[Roberto Firmino]

Ohhhhh.. looks like AFCON loading up extra time.

Well it will help see in this last hour til our kickoff



Gabon got robbed there he was in his own half keep the flag down and let VAR decide.

That long ago. That's from when I was a yout in short pants. From when he was picked England had a lack of strikers barring Lineker. England took a 2nd division striker to Italia 90 that's how bad it was back then.

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

Levy going to keep Hairpiece waiting till 10:30pm on deadline day to sign his first player.

 

[the next guy]

Liverpool and Chelsea get the Ws huh

Glad Villa won this weekend

Yea from that long ago. He was like the first big case that we Nigerians used as a warning to other players. I think he was capped like 3/4 times and didn’t feature in the WC for 90.

I know Linekar was around and despite Fashanu doing relatively well at AFC Wimbeldon, I think the conventional wisdom in Nigeria was England would look to pick white guy before Fashanu.
