Italian Serie C outfit Pro Piacenza suffered an embarrassing 20-0 bashing from hosts Cuneo on Sunday after fielding only seven players at kick-off.

According to reports, Pro Piacenza were set to close shop over backlog of unpaid wages and entitlements, but were forced to play the game to avoid outright expulsion from Serie C after fourth of their previous fixtures were postponed.

Thus they had limited option by naming six youth-team squad members alongside a physiotherapist in their starting line-up after a youth-team players forgot his ID at home.

An 18-year-old, Cirigliano, was handed double responsibility after being named as captain and coach in the absence of team’s technical crew, who along other players were allegedly missing in action after they have not received their salaries since August 2018.

Local media channel Sport Piacenza revealed that Cuneo, who could only net 18 times in their previous 24 fixtures in Serie C this term, led 16-0 at the end of the first stanza with forward Hicham Kanis scoring double hat-trick.

Afterwards Sport Piacenza opted to end its live broadcast after 180 seconds into the contest.

“We refuse to continue the live match report. We postpone the appointment with our readers until the end of this farce, when we communicate the final result,” a release from Sport Piacenza read in part.

Interestingly, Pro Piacenza currently are bottom of the Serie C log with eight points from 20 matches, having suffered eight points deducted.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism.

Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
