This weekend saw last season KPL champions in action after they missed the opening weekend when they were away in a rescheduled champions’ league match. They were quite unlucky coz they were playing against none other than the mighty Gor Sirikal, at the City stadium. I wonder what happens when soldiers loose in battle, don’t they get killed or turned into bitches (read prisoners of war)? Of all the places the department of defense could send these people, considering there’s war in the North Eastern region in Kenya, they were sent to fight for at least a point. Did they?
The Gor Mahia secretariat should look at bringing down the sky-rocketing ticket prices for the center stand or better yet, build shades for the real fanatics to make us not melt under the scorching sun. After all, aren’t we the ones who sing our voices out? Aren’t we the ones who go home upset after a loss? Aren’t we the ones who will carry stones and anything that can be thrown at armed officers when hell breaks loose? Aren’t we the ones who shed tears after tear gas canisters have been shot at us? Or is it just how it is supposed to be? Pay for the terraces & get all the ‘benefits’ of sitting there!
The highlight of the weekend was when Rangers F.C. were handed a reality check by AFC Leopards. After winning their first match against the Gor, I bet they thought they had it all in check. How do you get thumped 3-1 in the second half after dominating the first half? Does that say something about what this is league is poised to be? A see saw affair… Anyway, that doesn’t disturb me at all, whoever wins or looses, it’s all good! What disturbs me is, if Leopards won 3-1 against Rangers, and Rangers hit Gor for 3, is our City derby going to have a Chinese scoreline?
