Ol boy, leave that one but don't ever lose your sense of what is right. Dem go attack you here for voicing your thoughts.
Weah became president and they decided to go all out to retire his number and guess who had to ty and recapture his youth, yep -the pesident.
I was trying to imagine a situation where something like this would happen in the US, UK, France, Germany or in Saudi Arabia.....
I'm sue the players where either not told or they bowed to the powers that be.
To use our strongest squad as if we are playing a competitive match is just wrong. The Liberians use ex internationals as part of their squad and e came with full internationals? Something is amiss somewhere
Fo the sake of my peace, I was never going to argue with anyone about the rights or wrong---- I just took it as "comedy hour" and enjoyed myself

In as much as I totlly agree with your sentiment, don't be surprised that there was some grand Liberian deception going on and even we were caught on the wrong foot.
Nor be only Nigerians dey do 4-one-9.
'Retiring' a jersey does not in itself require retired players on the pitch in a novelty match.
The impression could have been given that Weah would do a 5-minute appearance, kick off the match and retire to the state box to watch.
I am not entirely sure we were fully aware of the full plan as it played out like we are all assuming.
I really can't see why Pinnick would want to incur the backlash of our anger by knowingly going along with this stupid 4-one-9 plan.
Is he stupid? No.
Is he mad? Unlikely
Why would this therefore have been the secret plan all along?
If however it turns out it was, then heads need to roll.
