Fuck me how terrible.

Hopefully we'll get Ade and maybe Toure as well back now.

Looks as though they were driving down to Angola, kicked off in, or near the Congo according to sky news

Ade must come back after this at least, but i'd like to see toure back too. They've proved they can't keep them safe so they have gotta come home.

even if ade comes back tommorow I cant see him being mentally fit to play for a while...

such a shame although some will argue this was inevitable, i wouldnt want to go to south africa for the world cup, not as a fan and even more so not as a player

France 24 say one player shot in back, one in kidney...dreadful.

Exactly no football match/tournament is worth putting peoples lives at risk they need to get them out of there now.

There is no way that the tournament should proceed after this. For the sake of the players, coaches and their nearest and dearest they need to come home!

Fucking hell! This is fucking crazy.

Wasn't there a story that Oba Martins was shot at when he returned to Nigeria a few years back too?

I'm not very will up on African criminology, but can anyone really say that the World Cup will go ahead with no incidents which will endanger the lives of fans and/ or players?

I know your only having a laugh edge mate but this could of been true, luckily Ade is ok but others are injured and the driver is dead maybe you should of saved the joke on this occasion.

Carl, I know you're something of a voyager. Have you ever lived in South Africa for a period of time? Would you feel safe as a player or fan around the chosen venues?

I know we usually take the piss and have a laugh but I'm genuinely interested.

Cheers.

Honestly couldn't care less at this point, hope he is ok but there is no way he'll be in the correct mental state to play football and we shouldn't try and make him at the moment.

I would imagine that Togo will withdraw but if Ade wanted to spend time with his loved ones instead of heading straight back here I'd definitely understand


Absolutlely spot on.
