I listen and watch many sport shows as you probably do yourself. But what amused me mostly yesterday was Pirates fans, already declaring the MTN 8 cup their own even before the ball is kicked.
They can go ahead and do that at their own peril. Not long ago, it was the Other team that had they "goldish" tails wagging furiously after scoring just one away goal against Pirates in the first leg. That, to their supporters was it, one leg in the final for them and once they are through with Pirates the cup would be waiting for them in Durban for collection, according to them the had the parcel number for the trophy.
Well, we all know the Other team lost and their supporters' fickle nature shone through. Starting at the stadium by throwing
For the Birds, this is a great step in the right direction. The form we have show lately can be improved upon. Heads should be kept down, more effort in training should be the order of the day. We've come this far, and amid all the noises that are coming form the Ghost camp and supporters, we should just raise the bar once more in Durban.
As Swallows fans, we should know that our place is right behind the team. In loses and in wins, we are the Beautiful Birds supporters. Where we will compete with others for the best supporters around. Its easier to support the team now that they in the final. This should be continued through once the cup final is over to get the team back up the league table.
Short and sweet today....I know!!! Got to go have tea with a Pirates man. The Other guys are still grumpy...
cheers and see you soon
