    As Chiefs fan I was rooting for Gallants, but...

    Being a Kaizer Chiefs supporter, I was rooting for Marumo Gallants, but you deserve to lose here. You never even tried to score until Pirates scored their goal. You aimed to get to penalties. Teams that go to a game with such a mentality deserve to lose - Action Killerman

    Where are those who wanted Wadu out?

    This is a lesson: you have to be patient. Orlando Pirates started very badly, and even fans wanted coach Wadu out, but the guy told the fans to be patient with him. Now he has won two Cups in just five months. He is number one in the league. When last did you see Pirates in number one? - Gift Hlumelo
