Today, I picked an interest in watching the match between Enugu Rangers vs Enyimba of Aba and I must say it’s the first time I am picking such an interest in our local league. Kudos to whoever that geneatred that type of influnce and made people to turn up and watch the match.
It’s very sad that what would have been a history in Nigeria turned out to be an eyesore, disgraceful outing by the Refree and match officials.
I cannot imagine how people from doing different part of the world will be looking at Nigerian league. Like seriously? How can Nigeria El Classico be declared inconclusive? Thanks to INEC Chairman for manufacturing the world which has been added to our football league.
But I keep asking myself? Why didn’t a Refree from outside the country blow the match? Why should it be a Nigerian Refree in this type of match which has elicited emotions?.
If a Refree from other African countries officiated the match that would have never been a penalty because it’s clearly not a penalty. The player wasn’t even touched by the opponent but he decided to fall in order to get a cheap penalty.
What an eyesore!!!! In this type of match, Nigerians shouldn’t be carried away by emotions!. I am very sad that would have been great history turned out to be a disgrace. NPFL should do more!!!!.
