Interesting team selection. I wonder if Fletcher, Fitzgerald and a few others would have played in the u21 game had it not been postponed.
Yeah, one of the Cameroonian twins. Douka Abdoulaye Nkoto.Twitter saying we've a 13yr old on bench.

Ah, so a "13" year old.Yeah, one of the Cameroonian twins. Douka Abdoulaye Nkoto.
Do you have proof of your allegations of the age being fraudulent or is it a lazy stereotype?Ah, so a "13" year old.
Very youthful bench, and a few of the key attacking options not out there. As Prodigal7 said, I was also wondering if the plan had been to use most of those missing in the postponed U21 game. Double shame, if so, that it was called off as it was on MUTV and it would have been nice to get a look at them at that level.
Ive seen proof mate tbf. Twins are 19/20.Do you have proof of your allegations of the age being fraudulent or is it a lazy stereotype?
Is it reported as in controversy?
You have but the club hasn't?I get
Ive seen proof mate tbf. Twins are 19/20.
Then why did they sign them knowing that they don't have much potential if they are playing well below their age group?Everybody knows that!
If you’ve seen proof then you’d know their exact age, not 19 or 20I get

He's scored a few this season hasn't he? Be nice to have a defender who chips in with a few goals every season. Probably Smalling the last one really? And before that Evra and Vidic maybe?Kingdon equalizes. Ball bobbling around after the corner, falls to him and he finishes well.
Yep.Real tricky area the age fraud issue as it’s well documented that age fraud does go on in some African countries as Eto’o himself tried to combat it in international team selection, but testing is so difficult and clubs have to be seen to not discriminate. One thing is for sure physically they look as developed as most 17 year olds regardless.
You're probably thinking about Jackson. Kingdon hasn't scored much. Everywhere I've seen shows that as his first goal for the u-18s this season. But he did finish it well.He's scored a few this season hasn't he? Be nice to have a defender who chips in with a few goals every season. Probably Smalling the last one really?

That lad at Dortmund who was banging in goals at youth level by smashing his way through less developed boys doesn’t seem to have transitioned too well to the men’s game interestingly.
They played in same team in Cameroon as a 20 yesr old who plays elsewhere. Theres pictures at 10 on social media where they look no different to now. Dont get why club are doing it. They are u13 on paper .If you’ve seen proof then you’d know their exact age, not 19 or 20
You seem to know your stuff and do your research despite being slaughtered on here for being blue, so you could well be right.They played in same team in Cameroon as a 20 yesr old who plays elsewhere. Theres pictures at 10 on social media where they look no different to now. Dont get why club are doing it. They are u13 on paper .
Fortunately the boys are made of stronger stuff than thatShit team today. Annoying to throw the unbeaten record away.

Check your DMsYou said this to me in a DM one year ago and didn't provide any evidence of them playing together. I believe you gave the name of Kelvin Pius John and didn't have any evidence of them playing together.
Genuinely why not post it here? If the club are playing 20yr old in u15s then it's a scandal.Check your DMs
Thanks to my jinx. Great strike. Still annoying to not play the best team and win this. I know the reason but...Fortunately the boys are made of stronger stuff than that
But still pretty amazing a club of our standing are prepared to play a 13 year old in an u18s game when the player in question comes from the most corupt age fraud nation FIFA have penalised. Given the evidence out there the club must be so naive. AS Nylon had one of the twins and Kelvin Pius John in the same side. He is 21 this year and plays at Genk. Ill send pic to you KM and you can post it.In the long run a player doesn’t really gain much from playing against younger opponents. The opposite really, the ideal environment for development would be a challenging one.
I think you're right actually, good shout.You're probably thinking about Jackson. Kingdon hasn't scored much. Everywhere I've seen shows that as his first goal for the u-18s this season. But he did finish it well.

Kingdon (and Jackson) also scored last week v Arsenal - but that was in the PL Youth Cup, not the league.You're probably thinking about Jackson. Kingdon hasn't scored much. Everywhere I've seen shows that as his first goal for the u-18s this season. But he did finish it well.
Might be the same reason we arent allowed to name players involved in legal scandals as the site can get in troubleGenuinely why not post it here? If the club are playing 20yr old in u15s then it's a scandal.
Because he's talking shite.Genuinely why not post it here? If the club are playing 20yr old in u15s then it's a scandal.
Seems a promising young player. Also, Siem Eyob Abraha appears to be quite a frequent scorer at that level.
Kingdon has 2 goals this season - as you mentioned. Jackson has scored 4 goals - 2 goals vs Boro on the opening day - the goal against City (which in fairness should have been considered an owngoal but who cares) and as you said - ArsenalKingdon (and Jackson) also scored last week v Arsenal - but that was in the PL Youth Cup, not the league.
Not sure if he's scored any others this season.
