Ebrima Ceesay,

It seems to me you have a great liking for football. Well, I happen to be one of those guys who found solace in the game and would love to have someone here to discuss with once in a while about the game. Maybe we could recall names like "Butut Joof", Saul Samba, BS, kebba Njie, Ebou Ceesay, The great Biri, Saihou Sarr, Essa Fye, Rico etc. These are great names in Gambian football history, some of whom have long passed away.

I thought it would not have been that bad just to talk some little football, after our hectic debates here. We need to cool off with something else, right? Thanks for those lines about the game. I enjoyed reading the bit honestly.

Did you watch Chelsea against Lazio? Our Norwegian side Rosenborg lost to Real Madrid by 3 goals to 1. By the way do you know that the Rosenborg striker Jon Carew is half Gambian?

Hey, sorry folks if you`re getting bored. Mr Ceesay and other football loving guys "talk to me".

Regards,
Omar.
