Here is the place to talk about all things city and football!

Maybe it should be in the main thread, but I think it deserves its own thread.
Togo are leaving ANC and coming home. I expect teh club will give him some time off anyway

I'm glad he's coming home, football isn't worth getting shot over.
Like you say, I hope the club gives him some time to get over his ordeal.

Where's this being reported mates?
I agree....they should be brought home, an absolute disgrace that Angola was even considered remotely suitable as a location to hold the tournament

The correct and proper decision taken by Togo in my opinion, trust the lad comes back to his closest family, hope they live here. A few days with them and a sympathetic ear and hopefully he'll be back in business.

BBC now reporting a third has died (teams press guy). This thing should be fucking cancelled. Pull your finger out Blatter and use your power (cash) to stop it now, no football game is worth thre people dying over.

Fuck. This is terrible. Obviously no life is worth more than another but if Ade had decided to sit somewhere else on that coach it could of been him. Something I am sure every plyer who got out that coach is thinking now.

Can't help but wonder ....
In this country when a terrorist attack happens we, most of us, take the attitude that we mustn't encourage the terrorists by giving in to them and changing our way of life. And yet here we all are saying a major football tournament should be disrupted or even cancelled?
Don't attack me over the above, I'm just 'thinking out loud' so to speak - not sure I even agree with myself :-o

I understand what you are saying and suppose I agree with you to an extend but when people's lives are at risk defiance is rather pointless.
The whole attack seemed very random and whose to stop it being Ghana, Ivory Coast or any other team next time. The country obviously isn't the most stable in the world.

I agree with what you are saying kladze, we can't let terrorists win. Cancelling the tournament would be a victory to the scum who carried out this attack.
