Mose:
I feel your pain about Tony and Charlie but the front three of Birri, Aziz
and Bais is just out of reach for the Starlighters - sorry! I believe even
the football purist will agree with me. Charlie hasn't fared well outside of
a Starlight uniform - in the squard per se. Tony is a more natural talent
than Charlie but he still measures below Aziz and Bais. Simply put, Bais's
air supremacy puts him a notch over everyone with exception of the great
Birri, but Aziz's ball sense, accuracy and speed places him over Tony.

Basil:
Your line-up is interesting but very unconventional. Even the English don't
utilize a 4/2/2 anymore. I believe that style has been phased out a decade
ago.
I never cared much for short central defenders and maybe that's why I left
out A.C., but he was a heck of duo with kanjura Sillah. I also thought about
my former coach at Muslim HS, Ebou Joof(Capy). He was a great one for Real,
but who wasn't in that era for Real. There was an All-Star line-up.
Basil, again I disagree with you about the Commentator of the century. I
simply think its the great Saul Njie even though he was a graduate of Seedy
Jammeh, he perfected it. He revolutionized ball-to-ball commentary with
terms like: "Lemon time," "between the irons" and "from my vantage point"
etc etc etc. He was simply the Dick Vitale of College basketball here in the
States.

Yusupha:
I concur with you on the matter of Amadou Adams - he has no place in the
century team. He played in a great team but he is not an All-Century. Just
my humble opinion.
I don't remember who scored the disallowed goal in the 80 zone 2 finals, but
I was there and if I have to guess I'll go with Tony Joiner. I vividly
remebered that Senegalese back four of Jahou Gai, Bai Momar Jobe, Omar
Touray and Ablie Bah. And, MORGADO was the infamous referee from Bissau. How
could anyone forget that name? I believe that call alone might have
contributed for the derailment of football back home. Again, just mine and
only my humble opinion.


GOOD DAY!
Baboucarr Sillah
