make we blacklist am until he go fit give a better escuse. I respect his decision but he cant be insulting our intelligence. How can a "19" year old be ready to play in seria A, against Maldini,Panucci, Nesta, Costakurta, Jap Stam et al and in champions league against any defender in europe but nor ready to play against Benin, morocco or south african defenders.

There should be a condition for his invitation for 2006. He must have grown in height to at least 6'3 since he claims to be 19 and should still be growing.

'gbish'?!! What in carnation does this word mean?

Some of the slangs used on this forum are honestly beyond me!!!!

if he willfully rejects NFA & FIFA mandate, nothing less than a five year suspension from Super-Eagles should be assesed. Let him defect & play for Italy if he wants.

QUALIFY FIRST BEFORE GBISH THIS PLAYER OR THAT PLAYER!

Just watch and see.....
IF we qualify and
IF Martins is "hotter" at that period (let's say highest goal scorer in Inter that season), I'll bet my last dollar that the NFA wud send a presidential jet to get him...Plain and simple.

Not to say it....I love Martins and all (while I would not prefer to bash him, although I'm deeply disappointed and saddened by his ANC withdrawal), but he just doesn't look right jubiliating alongside Vieri and all them . I think it would make a better picture jubiliating alongside JAG, Yobo, Okocha and THE REST OF OUR GANG.

Just my observation, when Vieri was crowned earlier this week.

A Nigerian-raised that KNOWS what ANC means to all the fans and still refuses to play? He should never smell the Green and White for life. There are other more loyal players who have talent too waiting for a chance - we cannot let him play in WC ahead of them.

Let him play for Italy and he will know what life is when his OWN fans start making monkey noises at him. Abi you think those Lazio ultras - who are among those rabid Italian national teasm fans - will suddenly love him? Please, this kid has no clue. He will NEVER be an Italian.

Right way to say it.

You cant eat your cake and have it. martins shunned us when we needed and so should be punished.

If he is going to be invited for the WC proper, he better have played in the qualifiers, since they will be played on Fifa sanctioned days for internationals there would be no club vs. country conflict so he better get his #$% to those games...damn traitor!!!

ugly boy · Post by **ugly boy** » Fri Jan 09, 2004 8:14 pm

his not ready yet....he's only "19"...wasn't he invited to one of the qualifiers....the guy no show ...my point is I wish him luck...whatever he wants to do but I think we can do without him..national assignments are about pride, service and honor...neither of which I think he has

leftee · Post by **leftee** » Fri Jan 09, 2004 8:25 pm

If the team does well at ANC, we should keep the core of that team together and stop the meaningless experimenting. Ergo, no Obafemi Martins in our plans for the near future

There should be no more reaping from other peoples hard work like what happened at the last WC

Why not ban him for life, string him up by the balls and lynch his entire family?

All because a man felt he could do without NFA palaver at this stage in his career. This type of lynch mob mentality is a bit rich when most of us have escaped the same palaver to earn a living in the relative comfort of the West.

I say let him play one game for us in qualifying then drop him till after the world cup!

exactly....!! I am with u on this one...the people like Kanu and Okocha who have come to sweat over these years have no sweat in vain...we need people that will honor the green white green like them...people like Yobo, Obodo, Okoronkwo and Jag are the next leaders...with Opabunmi and Osaze Ogbeches generation set to lace up ......we should support our core and those that have honored us ..those like Martins we can do without
