    Sales needs to be sharp and decisive

    Sundowns, let’s take a point. We had a good match. Impressed with the pressure Peter Shalulile gave to Seema and Mbokazi. Sales needs to be sharp and decisive; we could’ve won our game there with him. Well done for pocketing Oswin Appollis, he was their danger man -  Masedi Lovez

    Sundowns don't have a goalkeeper

    Sundowns don't have a goalkeeper; the sooner we notice that, the better. But I still think we should have taken all three points. Pirates were playing zero; they just got that lucky equalizing goal. They didn't even know how it came out - Peter Matsepane

    Bucs played crap but...

    I don’t see any team beating Pirates this season. We played crap, but managed to draw, and that's a winning spirit. We were flat and hardly played our best game, but a point is better than nothing - Khulu Khumalo

    I’m furious and really disappointed

    I’m furious and really disappointed, but one thing I can say with confidence is that Oswin Appollis is a fantastic player! Wow, man, he makes it look easy, week in, week out. We have a special player there, even when he’s not scoring or assisting, but his impact is visible -  Vyno Miller

  • Abdeslam Ouaddou, Orlando Pirates, October 2025Backpage

    Pirates could have won but hired a scientist

    Wadu the scientist is still doing experiments. We could’ve won, but since we hired a scientist who’s busy performing research instead of results, we have a long way ahead of us - Mimmy Msongelwa

  •  Mamelodi Sundowns fans

    Williams was never going to stop that!

    Masandawana stopped attacking after the goal. We were applying good pressure too, but started defending after scoring. Bathusi Aubaas makes unnecessary fouls. People can blame Ronwen Williams all they want, but he was never going to catch that. It's just a brilliant goal; we need to do better in the second half -  Just Tafi

    Appollis selfish like Nkota?

    I don't understand why Pirates supporters complain about the Coach. Most players are selfish. Appolis wasted so many chances, remember what Nkota used to do - Lentikile Kelepaletse Bonokwane

    R700M-squad struggling vs teenage Bucs midfield

    Struggling against an Orlando Pirates midfield of teenagers after spending close to R700M on the squad, what a small club - Kamo

  • Miguel Cardoso, Mamelodi SundownsBackpagepix

    We have become average & play like we don't want to win

    What happened to this team? When did we become a one-man team? Because we really missed Teboho Mokoena in that midfield. I don’t find joy watching Sundowns play. We have become average and don’t play like we want to win - Sfiso T. Ngem

  • Tshegofatso Mabasa, Orlando PiratesBackpage

    Mbuthuma over Mabasa?

    The selection of Yanela Mbuthuma over Tshegofatso Mabasa will never make sense to me - Nkuli
