^^Usheeg odayga! Ngonge, I'm merely coming from the diplomacy angle here. Any leader worth his salt will, when asked about a peace conference concerning a neighbour, reply in an 'appropriate' fashion regardless of the relationship between the two countries. Riyalle could have easily done that and also thrown in an appropriate caveat (see my previous example) to limit people's interpretation on the soveriegnty issue. If we were to question everything he/SL did, we would come up alot of issues/actions that compromises SL's position. Did he not meet with Yeey? Is the Somali shilling still not being used in some parts of SL? Me a Somaliweynist? As I said, give me 10 acres in the cultivatable south and who knows?

^^Very hot here. The generator on site going down doesnt help either but going home early I can get used to :cool:

Originally posted by NGONGE: quote:Originally posted by Al Burcaawi: ^^Why not? Why support Djabouti vs Eritrea a week later? Surprise me,,,,, North, You're mixing your arguments here, saaxib. It has always been the policy of Somaliland to distance itself from anything to do with Somalia. That policy becomes even more apparent when it comes to Somali peace efforts. Remember, the rest of Somalia does not recognise Somaliland as a separate country. Therefore, for the president of Somaliland to comment, publicly encourage or get involved in any peace efforts regarding Somalia will only come across as a tacit acknowledgment of Somali sovereignty over Somaliland. Only if they would recognise him as a sovereign neighbour would he be able to make friendly announcements. Or, of course, if he were grilled by a journalist and asked direct questions. The case of Djibouti is different. There are no crossed wires there and Riyaale is at liberty to make any number of comments or announcements regarding that country. I don't think highly of the man (as you already know) but I think in the past year or two he played the politics game quite perfectly. In fact, he's been brilliant and left the opposition at home and Puntland (and Somalia) in his wake. Give credit where credit is due waryaa. Ngonge, I disagree saxib. Making a 'diplomatic' statement along the lines of "we hope the peace conference is fruitful for our 'neighbour'" etc etc will not be construed as unfavourable to SL's cause so long he refers to Somalia as a seperate entity. Now I'm not advocating for SL's involvement (they already are believe it or not) but a little respect in statements/comments when questioned by press wouldn't go a miss.

Funny how these threads come up when they get embarrased in other threads,,,,,

^^Old schooool negro Ngonge, I think you touched on the garage phase and what a phase it was :cool: Remember this?

^A&T has done a runner. The guy is nowhere to be seen since Sat I will change Snieder for Arshavin :cool: Nihat was Turkey's Inspiration. The talisman. Also Altintop played well aswell as one there defenders who got injured. Great tournament. Some are already saying the best Euros yet and I'm tempted to agree. Olympics on the way IA. Time for a bit of Athletics and I hope the timing is ideal (probably not). Wimbledon - will try to catch the final Cricket - are England actually in NZ or is it the other way around?

Lets have your team ninyow

Thierry and Brof, how can Buffon be your top keeper? What did he do? Casilas saved two! 1 - Casilas 2 - Ramos (proved to be top top class) 3 - Turkish left back 4 - Marchena 5 - Senna 6 - Xavi 7 - Villa 8 - Silva 9 - Torres 10 - Nihat 11 - Snieder

Spent the best part of 2 hours looking 40 Dirhams on exel!!! :mad: . Time to go home,,,,

They beat the World Champions, the fancied Russians and now the favourites. Through great play, penalties, tops scorers, Villa was top scorer. My appetite for the great game is back! Great tournament. Best since 2000 if not better. I seem to enjoy the Euros more than the WC! Torres' finish has been described as Dalglish like :cool:

Spain!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Could have been 3 or 4 to nil. Totally deserved it by the way they have played beautiful football throughout the tournament and TORRES scored the winner Great tournament and one of the best if not the best in terms of quality football and great games. Nuune, great prediction. You have been given the SOL football award for the next 2 years until South Africa 2010 Ilaahay ha ina gaarsiyee. Ngonge, you have been poor mate but take some comfort in that A&T has not faired much better either. Thierry & Brofessor, terrible predictions boys

^^Why not? Why support Djabouti vs Eritrea a week later? Surprise me,,,,,

The Spanish have deserved it. Its on Sergio Ramos' performance again.

PM, lol I was just bored saxb. Thierry, LoL. I like the new name you made for Brof though 'Beeljire' Marc, always had you down as a bit of a Hitler. Where are the other predictions? Ngonge, A&T, Nuune where you at boys?

Espana!!!!

Emp, no need to throw a tantrum and I didn't denounce M Abdullah Hassan. Your urgency to veer our discussion into that direction has been noted. You're hiding your obvious hypocracy and not for the first time. I'm half expecting Nino Brown et al to come to your aid.

^^anyone who agrees with the above and also happens to support the TFG is a hypocrit. Waa siday tahay

^^Who were you thanking?

^^I have highlighted your hypocracy saxib. You can continue to wail on and on and on,,,,, You fail to stand up to questions (yet again). Quit the whining!

Dabshid, I have a problem with his never ending 'babbeling' and inability to defend his position. I had hoped he would improve by now but no signs as of yet. Ninku miyu waligii sidan noqon
