Carrick is a positive-minded manager. Learns from his mistakes. Our past managers would be in the media grilling the players right now. Instead, Carrick passes no blames to players. He looks at room for improvement. He'll a long way.

But guys come on... We cant be allowing players to walk off the pitch if they are unhappy about the decisions taken by the referee!! If that is allowed then any team will do it...

When Manchester United signed Harry Maguire for £80 million, the world laughed.
“Overpriced.”
“United panic buy.”
“Not worth half of that.”
Every pundit had a microphone. Every rival fan had a joke.
Then the performances dipped… and the noise got louder.
Mistakes clipped into viral videos.
Slow turns turned into memes.
Clearances became punchlines.
It got so bad that politicians in parliaments were using the name “Harry Maguire” as a metaphor for failure.
Imagine that. A footballer becoming global slang for incompetence.
Then came the ultimate humiliation.
Captaincy stripped.
Bench role.
Written off.
For most players, that’s the end of the story.
But Maguire did something football doesn’t see often anymore.
He stayed.
No public tantrums.
No dramatic interviews.
No blaming managers.
He just worked.
Training ground.
Silence.
Grinding.
While the world was laughing, he was rebuilding.
And slowly… the script started changing.
Big headers.
Last-minute winners.
Commanding performances.
The same fans who mocked him started singing his name.
The same rivals who abused him started respecting him.
Today, Harry Maguire is something nobody expected him to be:
A benchmark for resilience.
The £80M “mistake” who refused to break.
The global meme who outlasted the jokes.
The captain who lost the armband but found his backbone.
Football tried to turn Harry Maguire into a punchline.
Instead…
He turned himself into a comeback story.

YOUNG PEOPLE don’t sleep on plumbing, carpentry, electrical work, roofing, drywall, and painting. There serious money in the trades! Skills pay the bills!

Did your team decide to play an illegible player to do Stars a favour? Does Stars need your favour? Argue against the rules or deal with your team management negligence and leave Stars out of it. They are not even a complainant in the matter.

Most people are blaming NAMRA and calling them greedy but NAMRA is not the problem, they only collect. The real issue is the policy framework set by the Ministry of Finance, Parliament, and SACU. Because how do we justify high import taxes on clothing when Namibia does not have a domestic clothing manufacturing industry to protect?
We are discouraging small traders from importing stock, yet we offer no local alternative.
High duties + VAT only make goods unaffordable, limit entrepreneurship, and punish young people trying to make a living through reselling.
SACU’s tariff system mainly protects South Africa’s textile industry, but Namibia ends up carrying the cost without having the same industries or benefits. Our policies need to reflect Namibia’s economic reality, not South Africa’s.
Import taxes should support growth, not suffocate it.
It’s time for a serious policy review.
