    What Riveiro must do in Egypt

    Jose Riveiro must send all bench warmers, like Gilberto, Phillip Ndlondlo and others to Egypt to play a dead rubber match against Al Ahly! Whoever doesn’t perform, should be loaned out. Play all those players we signed in June. We want to see if they are ready to play for Pirates  - Malesela

  • Mamelodi Sundowns fans, December 2024 Backpagepix

    Where are you, talk now!

    Where are those Sundowns fans who said Pirates players do not have experience in Caf CL and won't make it out of the group stages, they are nowhere to be seen - Ofentse

    This the only concern...

    Very much happy with the win but, hate how we took the game and everything else for granted after we scored the second goal. We just became dismal, and as a result, we conceded fouls in dangerous areas - a repeat of what we did in Algeria. On to the quarter-finals! OnceAlways  - Sphelele

    We remain humble!

    We remain humble, the Caf Champions League is not our bread and butter - Ayanda Stevens

    No help, just hard work!

    Just a reminder, we did qualify without the assistance of Abongile Tom like others (Mamelodi Sundowns) - Mzi Nxuba 

  • Patrick Maswanganyi Orlando PiratesBackpagepix

    Pirates still have a game while the Caf Champions League specialists are still waiting for match day six? interesting - Mabero
