I'm not being racist but with Bolasie being african maybe he's gone to help up our exposure on the continent?

That wasn't racist at all. But mentioning it out of the blue raises a serious eyebrow.

I just wanted to cover it in case I said it and someone called me racist haha, I know what this spot is like.

Backs up the whole interest in an african player idea! Imagine Gana may get a bit of coverage too.

The comments on the Albino FC pictures are disgusting tbh. Albinos basically get hunted in Africa and are social outcasts. Very dissapointing.

 

[Caolam]

Just let no one get injured !

Turns out they clearly were excited to see bolasie with the reception he got.

 

[Groucho]

See. Modern football.

We have to go all the way to Tanzania for a 3pm kick off.

Currently warming up against Albino United.

Ujiji, a spot near Kigoma on the shore of Lake Tanganyika is where Stanley finally ran into Dr Livingstone

Oh, and Freddie Mercury hailed from Zanzibar

Ok chaps need to give a brief on Tz.. little late for travelers as they would be here by now.
I've lived here for almost 5 years in Dar so can share some info.

Firstly Bolasie means nothing to the locals. They are more excited to see Rooney and quality players. Bolasie is not Tanzanian or even East African. It's like the French wanting to go see a German.. silly. Assuming being black means universal support from an African country is a little condescending really.

Secondly you definitely can catch something. Malaria is quite bad at the moment owing to extended rains. Lube up the repellant. Worst outbreak since we've been here.

Risk of violence. Virtually zero. Politically stable for years and the new president has banned opposition parties from rallies so it's all very quiet. The only crimes that happen often are drive by bag snatches. So best not to carry handbags or shoulder bags road side.

Lastly they LOVE the EPL here. So why Africa or Tanzania, why not? You see shirts everywhere of different clubs, including Everton! They wear shirts of clubs they don't support just because they love the game.

Great pubs to get a pint before the game. Enjoy if you visiting!

YOU WOT MATE

Look at what comes up in the advertising on this thread hahaha Assume each player gets issued with that for safety?
