Whatever the out outcome will be in the match between The Gambia and
Morocco, there will be celebration and commiseration either in Kanilai or in
the State House.

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.
