I know a couple of Nigerians who both say it used to be common practice over there but has been tightened up recently.
Dunno about other countries.
I realise that's not proof over these individuals, but it did seem to happen to a certain degree.

Right.
So it ALWAYS happens !
Obviously.

It happens very regularly, in a lot of Nigeria the State simply isn't well organised enough to record births as they happen. People often pick their date of birth at a later point.
And that's not to mention the corruption that exists, in Ireland we had a long running asylum case whereby a woman was able to produce documents which seemingly proved the birth of her now dead child which in fact never existed.
[/quote]
Well, I never see any Irish players have their age disputed.
[/quote]
It's usually a players eligibility that's disputed , see the long running joke about that since Jack Charlton was in charge.
And compare ...
[/quote]
That's a Nation thing.
That's you white guys pissing about calling each other Jocks and Paddies etc...
You guys seem to love that shit.
We (black people) don't have that level of inter-racial jocularity/piss-taking trust, with *ahem* white people (yet).
Call me crazy/paranoid/whatever, but it's true.

he didn't say it always happens. He said it did happen to a certain degree
why you getting such a bee in your bonnet over this? In the same way UTd are the kings of extra injury time (when more often than not its a fair amount), Bolton are a brutish side (which they're not any more), and other things, why is it this issue you get so wound up by?
Thats rhetorical by the way. I know why. The point is it has happened and its part of the rich tapestry of life to joke about it.
Example: In February 2011, Ivorian football manager Mamadou Gaye and SuperSport television pundit responded to a question asking who he thought would win the 2011 U-17 World Cup with "...any of the four team representing us (Africa) in the world cup U17 can win the trophee(sic),because at that level we like cheating on our age."
If the managers can joke about it, why can't you?
[/quote]
Do you find it funny when a non-Scouser makes a "joke" about Scousers, as if it's fact ?
[/quote]
I don't care. I get it off my gfs parents. i've been called a thief, get the "calm down" thing. I couldn't give a solitary shit.
It really doesn't matter.
Its because its a race thing you're getting hot under the collar over it
Theres evidence of it from last year with nigeria. There's evidence since the 90's. It's a joke. Thats it
[/quote]
Well, if I was seeing a woman and her parents made a joke about....oooh, let's see, black people being lazy thieving, mugging, useless twats, I probably wouldn't hang about for cocktails.
I get what you're saying, but I don't agree with it and it grinds my gears.

I must admit, some of the random Mancs beings cunts type comments on here can annoy me. I know it's generally referring to Man U, but still.
BUT WHITE PEOPLE CAN BE LAZY, THIEVING, MUGGING USELESS TWATS!!
The difference between inherent racism like your saying and what we're saying is the fact that african footballing nations DO or at least DID try to get away with fielding ineligible players in recent times. Consistently. If you can find predominantly white natiosn doing the same then i'm a son of a biscuit and i'll apologise

Yes they can, but in the same way that Scousers are often saddled with that slur, so are black people.
And, I have YET to hear a black person make the "African Age-Liar" joke/remark.
Like the crap assumption that Liverpudlians/Black People have a predilection for CRIME, there is this boring and predictable "humour" with regard to the age of African footballers/sports types.
