Orlando Pirates to end drought - Isaac Chansa

Bucs aim to end trophy drought

Posted: 2010-04-30 06:48

Orlando Pirates midfielder Isaac Chansa says the Buccaneers will try and use the remaining Nedbank Cup competition to end a trophy duck that has stayed with the club for a long time.

Pirates host Second Division side Als Puk Tawana at Orlando Stadium in Saturday night's Nedbank Cup last 16 encounter and the Zambian denies that they will be favourites going into that tie.

"People can believe whatever they want to believe, but on the pitch it will be 11 players from Pirates against 11 from Tawana and anything can happen," he tells KickOff.com.

"The better prepared team will carry the day, not one from the upper division. To win against them, we need to put a 120 percent effort because they also want to continue making history in this competition.

"It has been a long time since Pirates won a trophy and that is not good for such a big club, especially after our biggest rivals Kaizer Chiefs won the Telkom Knockout. It puts us under pressure to win something for our own fans."

Chansa adds that despite the fall by other trophy contenders SuperSport United, Chiefs, Ajax Cape Town, Golden Arrows and holders Moroka Swallows, the Bucs will still not get it easy.

"Our chances of winning can be at 80 percent now after the failure to progress by other big teams, but we need to focus if we are to lift the trophy," he says.

"We have a very good squad that is as strong as the ones that used to lift trophies and we can still do it. I hope we do it with the Nedbank Cup."

Don't worry about the drought Chansi, just focus on the job at hand. Beat those small boys and proceed to the 1/4 finals and everything will take care of itself.

Ka boblack,red and white. Buccaneeeer..

Come On Boyz!
There's no better time that this! Winning against Sundowns at Soccer City. That's my dream final and ofcourse i want my team to win in style.

Sleeping giant is about to wake up anytime soon and cause harvoc.... And i fear the other one will be going to sleep.

Sanele: 2010-04-30 10:01

We surelly stand a chance considering that the 'Penalty-Kick Specialists' are out... I know they would have survived regulation time, only to be the heroes when penalties are taken...

I love my Bhakajojo... the little it has is not just precious (African Champions' medal) but also legitimate and fair. We hardly won trophies on a lottery of penalties (unlike others who've won almost every cup through that route). Sadly, we loose on penalties in the games we should have won during regulation time. Remember the ABSA Cup final in DBN where 'others' were defending n chasing shadows 4d entire 120minutes, running like disfeathered chickens, only to come to life when penalties were taken. In dat game, Bucs had 18 shots at goal vs 3. After d game they said: "Ball possession can't win you games", eish... ****** agents! izinkomo lezi... too obsessed wit trophies dat dey end up deprieving soccer fans of beautiful football...

LET ALL D AMABHAKABHAKA RALLY BEHIND THE TEAM IN A QUEST TO GET ANOTHER LEGITIMATE AWARD AS NEDBANK CHAMPIONS, WHERE NO TEAM WILL BE CRYING FOUL...

SIYAYA EZULWINI... THESE TROPHIES 'SOME' ARE BOOSTING ABOUT, YES, THOSE THAT ARE CHARACTERISED BY CORRUPTION, UNFAIRNESS, AND FULL OF TEARS WILL BE PUT INTO JUDGEMENT...

AND DAMN... SOME PEOPLE HAVE GUTS BRAGGING ABOUT SUCH A CORRUPT HISTORY.. WE KNOW TROPHIES, OK, BUT HOW DO U GET THEM? LET'S SCRUTINIZE THEM 1BY1 AND UNCOVER THE 'ERRORS' SOME REFEREERS HAD TO MAKE, PERFORMANCES IN THOSE CUP RUNS, ELEMENT OF LUCK, AND DAYLIGHT ROBBERIES... SURELLY THAT WOULD MAKE 50% OF WHAT YOU GOT, WOULDN'T IT?

all psl fraudulent trophies: stop being so bitter my boy. Your team is now concentrating on golf. Talk about jack of all trades and master of non. Sundownslicious. When we beat leopards certain teams supporters will be more miserable than leopards. Kabo yello'

MaItus: 2010-04-30 10:38

I have heard this song before, and I think it will never end. Why don't they shut up and concentrade on playing. Pirates have been overtaken by so called small teams. I mean Cosmos, Swallows, Platium Stars, Bloemfontein Celtics and Ajax have won trophies in the era where Pirates see the Telkom Charity as a trophy...and I don't think they will stop now.

Golf is what we doo every year as a corporate function, maybe the english is too difficult for you ngoba uhlala use marenkeni.

We are a big conglomorate and the golf culture was born out of the business ATTITUDE we have at Chiefs and not because we want to be masters at it. This is a marketing and social responsiblity avenue where we raise funds for charities and not seek SAFA bonuses.

I am waiting for tomorrow and I really hope you win (really do) so that I can congratulate you only to fail when it matters most (like always). But becarefull of Rasta, he will mesmerise you tomorrow.

Chansa my ma se kind wen die een vir ons, and as for our detractors surely Bucs will make you eat a humble pie tomorrow. Tawana seuns in Orlando you behave or else you jump, that stadium is not NW where you disrespected elders (Plat. Stars)ok.

mafidzodzo: 2010-04-30 11:31

We know the stands will be Gold and Black (CHIPS & LEPARDS combined) but yellow will celebrate so all those chips fans who think BL will beat us can dream their impossible dream, Shaya Sundowns!!!

Sanele this is not a love column site stop it with your paragraphs.
Just pray that you lose early before the finals because Pirates will not win this one, uyazi nawe.

Jah behaving and speaking like a true chiefs suppoter what does the SAFA politics have to do with 2morro's game, like u always do missing points SOCCER. Kickoff never ran that story, if I had a mind like chiefs supporters i wudv said but Kaizer is also involved in this bonus thing but im not going to. Im looking forwad to cheer my team for tomorrows game. Whats left for you this season is go out and do your social thingy and lastly i don't think any1 @ pirates cares about what (you hope) you should've been careful of the team that knocked you out, your use of big names is unnecessary!! Im not impressed nge english yamacomrate! Snykhosificationalisationfool

In Zulu we say "Indlala ibanga ulaka" meaning Hunger causes anger.
Trophyless supporters are bitter and they are blamming the Cup winners.
Khosificationfool or whatever you wanna call it Chiefs are the winners

Gee: 2010-04-30 14:06

If this has nothing to do with Chiefs, then why was Rudi Krol (from Ice age 3) mentioning Chiefs in his interview, Now this TaTa Indiga Machans's interview has Chiefs in it. Why mara Why.

Summerrain!: 2010-04-30 14:31

Sanele Skhokho sami I couldnt have said't much better, every1 share the very sentiment of the so called history that was made. Sorry I couldn't commend your statement in time I was busy with some another arrogant chiefs suppoter. Anyway well said Bhakaniya these ppl easily forget crucial things like how they won the Rothmans cup twice etc.

thabo: 2010-04-30 21:58

Bhaka"Juju"...Let me tell you before you are tjatjarag - this is a stadium of a revolutionary football club and you know nothing about the revolution.
So here you behave or else you jump. Don't laugh…

You don't come here with that white tendency, not here. You can do it somewhere else, not here.
If you have got a tendency of undermining blacks even where you play, you are in the wrong place

Tawana: But that's rubbish

Baka”JuJu”: You can go out.rubbish is what you have covered in that trouser
- that is rubbish.

You are a small boy you can't do anything. Go out.*******! Go out! You ****** agent!

We cannot be allowed to be undermined in our own terrain, you can do that in your own home ground, but here, once you come in here - this is not a playground, this is Orlando Stadium. It's the head quarters of a revolutionary club which has liberated teams like Chiefs and cosmos…

It's not a beer-hall here, it's not a drunk beer-hall - cheap beer-hall, this. And you ask anybody including your father, Sundowns which tried to undermine this stadium what happened to them.

You are in our space and you are going to behave in a manner that is befitting of being in the Orlando Stadium.

If you feel you are offended by the removal of this Chiefs, by FC Cape Town, you are most welcome to walk, you are free to go.

Let's not push each other to a point where we will have to engage each other differently because we are not going to be undermined by young boys and then we say 'no, we need to restrain ourselves'.

Sundowns’ young brother, you need to ask the PSL teams - since you're not - what the Orlando Pirates is and what does the Orlando Stadium mean to them.
