These are the top 5 stereotypes of our beautiful country sponsored by a true soccer fan.
The views expressed are sorely my opinion and you can feel free to comment.
5) Signing players only after 2 games:
Players from lower divisions know that getting a contract from a top team is very easy; it only takes them 180 mins to have Bobby Motaung, Floyd Mbele and others calling them right after the game. The sad reality here is most of those players are average and teams realize that after the 1st session but pride wont let them release them. Come end of the season most of those players are transfer listed. I think Mthokozisi Yende should take some advice from Gordon Gilbert.
An average player signed only after 180 mins.
YOU ARE NEXT!
4) Kaizer Chiefs - Love, Peace and WAR!
Amakhosi fans wear the love and peace badge so proudly for everyone to see. When Chiefs win the whole country rejoices; SA becomes white and gold. But when they lose, all breaks loose; true colours fly out the window then stadium chairs, vuvuzelas, bottles and even toilet papers fly around like rain and confetties. And to make things worse their Chairman, Manager, Marking officer and No1 striker joke about it on the dinner table.
True colours are showing.
3) SuperSport United - Membership upon DSTV purchase.
SSU is the most consistent team; on a good day they can thrash the big guns by huge margins - Chiefs and Sundowns would know, they play beautiful football. But when they score only 300 DSTV subscribers are cheering them on the grandstands. SSU games are so empty, The whole stadium can hear Coaches swearing @ Men as if they are little boys. With the introduction of DSTV compact, supporters thought they would pay half the fee, but to their suprise SSU allows them to watch only the 2nd stanza of the match, hence you see the a few more ppl on the stands 2nd half.
DSTV Subscribers.
2) Orlando Pirates - The shining "star" above the rest!
In 1995, Pirates achieved the impossible by winning the Champions League when no one gave them a chance, even my drunk die hard Pirates uncle. But they did, in that event becoming the only SA team to win the cup. Fast-forward - 15 years later, Pirates has not won an official trophy since Lesley Manyathela passed away. But Believe me, when the love in war hoodlums (Chiefs), DSTV compact (SSU - Melusi alone), Soweto kings (Moroka Swallows) compare titles they won in taverns, OUT COMES A PIRATES SUPPORTER with the Champions League star!!!
Try having a decent argument with a Pirates supporter, chances are he might be too drunk to understand, toothless, or you are afraid to comment because he was in jail for murder or r!pe... and if he senses that he's losing OUT COMES THE STAR.
Pride and joy of Pirates Supporters.
1) SIWELELE SA MASELESELE...
They win cups; they sing, they win games; they sing, they draw; they sing, the lose; they sing, they get trashed by the rivals; they sing louder, they get relegated; they sing, their team is useless; they sing, the Owner and Coach give contradictory instructions which confuses players; they sing, Celtic owners fire a Coach, they arrange a meeting and sing till the coach gets reinstated, next season they will be relegated....and guess what; THEY WILL SING. I dont blame them coz with a team like that; I WILL SING TOO.

why call another person anavarage when he is wearing professional team outfit. That is not very nice of you. I would not like anobody call you substandard either. Lets build each other and stop attacking each ones back. You sound like you can be well polished and will start right here. This is soccer and let's have fun. You were sitting in the back sit in school and I have not told anybody how you got to sitting down infront of a computer. Besides you are a grown married man and that wont be nice of me telling how you paid a tiki each day.Anyway, take a your dogs and rabits for an afternnon walk, you will be just okay. I still have your Afrikaans spelling book and your math homework book. They sure make my day each time I open them. I can make you a coppy each at Five thousand cents. I have since got a coppy right of your home work books, so do not plagerise if you are going to need a coppy.

what happened to chips. lord fisher said fish must stay in water but we know chips do not grow in the sea. i guess these chips are semicomatosed with beer. what happened to love and peace. well lets not call them drunken masters but dranken french fries. how do they manage to bring these bottles in the field of play. thats why they cry too much, they do not see the whole game by going to the toilet too much.
sobber up machips or go dube hostel and drink chibuku as you do anyway before going to the game. sis man la swabisa phuza face fans.
