The teeming fans of 3SC vented their anger on the chief coach of the club, Franklin Howard following the team’s home draw to their arch-rival, Rangers International FC in a Nigeria Premier Football League match played on Sunday at Lekan Salami Sports Complex, Ibadan.

The Oluyole Warriors only managed to secure a 1-1 draw through a penalty at the 44th minute by Tope Orelope to level a goal scored in the 30th minute by the Flying Antelopes in a match watched by the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) boss, Amaju Pinnick.

The irate fans who believes that Coach Franklin Howard does not possess the wherewithal to succeed as the technical head of a traditional club-side like Shooting Stars descended on the coach after the game, but was lucky to be rescued by the security operatives.

Howard while speaking with newsmen immediately after the game pleaded with the teeming supporters of the team to give the team a little time to solidify, attributing the home draw to an ‘off-day’ his top striker, Ajayi Junior had on the day.

“We only had a bad day today, especially the striker we so much relied upon for goals today. But he did not click today. This outcome is so painful to us(the technical crew), but we can only plead with our fans to be patient with us, we are still going to put smiles on their faces, it’s just a matter of time”, said Howard.
