Before Baba
Mthethwa and his followers tell us ‘once touch too many’ once more, I would
like to say "Thank You Mabhakabhaka”…
Baba Mthethwa
and his technically challenged co-commentator, De Loca, accused Orlando Pirates
of playing too many touches, but isn’t that our type of football? Isn’t that the
philosophy we are trying to establish in our game?
Why is it
that when the likes of Barcelona
do it, we applaud, but when its Sonono's father's team, we complain?
To add to
that, the same Baba Mthethwa, and I’m sure many other spineless football
observers, criticised Pirates for showboating in the closing stages... why?
Isn’t a
'friendly' meant to entertain when tactical studies have been exhausted? Is it
because the English claim that 'our' football is showing disrespect?
For me, showboating
frustrates Europeans, I’d say we should employ this tactic often when we play
this untalented hard workers... if Pirates had a striker, they’d have scored at
least two in that last 5mins…
In closing,
I’d like to say, Thank you Oupa Manyisa, Thank you Mark Mayambela, Thank you
Sameeg Doutie, Thank you PIRATES!
