    Another win. 3 wins and 1 draw in the last 4 games. The team made as many points as in the first round of the season.

    Next game is against Académica at home and if we win that, then we will be 2 steps away from the relegation zone.

    Note: 1200 Boavista fans attended the match against Paços de Ferreira away. What a beautiful sight.

    Don't blink twice if you happen to see a black tower in the pitch when playing against Boavista. The club signed a striker by the name of Idé whose height is 6'8.

    Good luck marking that man!

    Massive 2-0 over Arouca. Completely outplayed them. Also a good crowd on hand with more wins like this the grand Boavista will certainly be on the up

    Boavista going to shit again. Making Portugal look like sh*t.

    Two Nigerian soccer players accuse Portuguese club of treating them ‘like a slave’


    Two Nigerian soccer players have accused a Portuguese club of gross mistreatment after they allegedly refused a pay cut at the start of the 2016-2017 season. In a flurry of tweets on Thursday, BBC sports writer Oluwashina Okeliji outlined the accusations of strikers Uche Nwofor and Michael Uchebo, who alleged that top-tier team Boavista treated them “like a slave” at the end of their tenures.

    #Boavista: The new slave camp

    The players, both of whom played elsewhere in Europe, as well as on Nigeria’s 2014 World Cup team, said Boavista executives have refused to pay them their salaries. The players also say club executives isolated them from the rest of the team, including barring them from training and other events.

    ✔@oluwashina

    Fifa rules states that a player must NOT train in isolation. But #Boavista made them train without a trainer, doctor & a Physio. #violation


    “(It’s) a crazy situation,” Nwofor, 25, told Okeleji. “We had to start keeping evidence. You’re working, they don’t pay you and use security to harass you. This is slavery.”

    Nwofor and Uchebo reportedly recorded video of their interactions with Boavista security personnel, which Okeleji posted to Twitter on Thursday.

    Benson also added that the club will be made to pay the full value of Uchebo's remaining contract and Nwofor's agreed compensation."

    “They are gangsters. They force you to reduce salary or force you out. In France and Germany (these) cruel things don’t happen,” Nwofor said.

    “I asked Boavista why,” Uchebo, 26, added. “They won’t say a word.”

    Uchebo is no longer under contract with Boavista, according to TransferMarkt.com, which tracks world players’ movements between clubs. According to the website, his contract was terminated in July and he is unaffiliated with any team.

    Nwofor, meanwhile, agreed to terminate his contract with Boavista in September, Okeleji reports, and has since signed with Slovakia’s AC Trencin. However, he is reportedly continuing to seek $110,000 in what he claims is back compensation, according to sports agent Kobe Benson.

    “The club Boavista is a notoriously dishonest side with no respect for FIFA rules/regulations,” Benson told Okeleji on Thursday, adding the players have “no options but to report [the club] to the authorities.”

    He added: “With the amount of evidence, I have no doubt that they will be punished severely.”

    Benson did not detail which authorities might get involved, although Portuguese sports newspaper Record reported earlier this month that Uchebo, who had been making roughly $20,000 per month with the team, filed legal action over his situation.

    Boavista executives did not answer Okeleji’s request for comment, but on Tuesday, they denied Uchebo and Nwofor’s accusations, which have been widely publicized in Portuguese press.

    “We will not speak publicly about this subject anymore … that has called into question the good name of Boavista,” the club, which currently stands in eighth place among Portugal’s first-tier teams, said in a strongly worded statement. “(We) will continue … to defend the institution and will not yield to media or other pressures transmitting falsehoods.”

    They are turning this into a race thing when in all honesty they do this to Portuguese players aswell how many times have the Big 3 done the same????


    Boavista just when they were getting a team together too. I don't expect any sanctions though they will probaly just seek out the legal system and settle out of court if that even happens at all. I feel as if something is going on with the agents aswell


    Boavista is of course Boavista and with Loureiro there you know this is what happens.

    This has nothing to do with race. The facts are this: these two players refused to lower their wages and Boavista is refusing to pay them. Boavista are the scum of the earth and I have no pity for their impending relegation or doom. They deserve to be shut down and deserved everything they got during the Apito Dourado.

    Boavista going HAM in the transfer market! Got Garay, Javi Garcia, Angel Gomes, and a plethora of other players on loan. You love to see it. Hope it works out for them.

    @Chess_Panther , your boys are coming up!
