Bro Sheikh, thanks for the rescue. I scratched my head for them two words "go up" in "the big men go up" and festival of headers. I just hope that the GFA and Radio Gambia realize the opportunity in Saul, to actually bring him back after his retirement from the Bank or his current endeavor to actually groom the many young talents in the art of commentary. I know he had an unfinished product in Tijan Ceesay (:-)!) and another protégé by the last name Ceesay, at SAHS. I believe his first name is Phoday or Ebrima, but not sure. If that is not an option, may be we can rejuvenate TJ after a long pickle with vinegar and salt. :-)!
Listening to Saul Njie, Lie Jow and Elhajj Mansour of Senegal brought joy to the listener. They relieve the listener off the burden of active listening to just following the ball as if they were there. I still believe annexing Box Bar Stadium was one of the biggest mistakes and assault to the legacy of the sport. Can you imagine someone annexing Wriggly Field or Soldier Field in Chicago, after decades of history and attachment? You noticed how I slipped that one. Now that I emptied my chest, it is water under the bridge. :-)!
In closing I wish to leave Cappy's sons, daughters, family, and friends with one thing - He fought a good fight and he gave Gambians his best and we are grateful for that. Whatever he left undone will stay that way, until the rest of us pick it up and move it further. Bless his heart.
Chi Jaama
