Chiefs, Downs agree to delay kick off

Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs kick off delayed

Posted: 29 April 2011 Time: 07:47 am

The PSL has agreed to delay the Premiership match between Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs to allow workers, players and sports journalists to attend May Day celebrations on Sunday.  

The game between Sundowns and Chiefs which was initially set to kick off at 15h00 has now been rescheduled to start at 16h00 at Loftus Stadium.   The adjusted fixture has been necessitated by the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa's request to the PSL to postpone the game on Sunday to allow workers to attend the May Day celebrations organised by Cosatu across the country.   "It is our contention that soccer is mainly supported by the workers in our country and such an important game cannot be allowed to coincide with May Day celebrations.    "The scheduled kick off time of 15h00 might have a negative impact in terms of attendance of May Day celebrations around Gauteng," said Numsa national spokesman Castro Ngobese on Thursday.   PSL chairman Irvin Khoza confirms that in consultation with Sundowns boss Patrice Motsepe and Chiefs chairman Kaizer Motaung that the game will now kick off at 16h00 instead of 15h00.

I saw Jessica with Alex Shakoane at Michael Angelo, which makes me wonder.

I also saw, Sweswe with Daniel Mudau and Manzini which makes me worry.

but knowing Kaizer Motaung Snr's brokeness, Motsepe will pay for this one, atleast there will be cash flow for next season.

I am worried about Khune's goalkeeping lately...he has been suspect and making schoolboy errors....that is going to cost the young lions/bafana bafana/madiba stars/rainbow stars what ever they call themselves these days....yes i wish and hope we capitalise on their shacky defence but be carefull they don't capitalise on ours....Shakes, now i understand why Aces is going down, you talk kak' brother, how can these teams aporach the game cautiously at this time of the year...yeeer some people don't have brains they use their big tummies to think...nxaaa

Cable thieves from Natulawayo losing to a team that doesnt even feature in the First Division but playing in the lower Vodacom league, its really a disgrace & show that they're just an average bunch of clowns.

so now that they are done with the players they come for the coach so that Sundowns will not stand a chance (PSL killed our players momentum,now they want to kill our coach's spirit)...
well i have news for Khoza and PSL and whoever is part of this( NUMSA wants to delay it with hours, so that they are really sure we have no momentum at all)....we are from Easter weekend and our souls and spirits are as strong as they can ever be....you will not break our spirits, we will fight till the end, we will raise against the evil in PSL, because the Lord is our Sheppard we shall not fear...."kuGqityiwe", "it is finished"

Even if they were to play on Monday others will loose...that's a fact.

Mind you...we have annexed our points so that makes us not to rely on anyone...why should we? Look it's a question of 'if' it's a question of....we'll get our three points and therefore it doesn't matter what others do and we'll win the league whether others play each other and others loose or what we'll the job for ourselves.

Perhaps if you ask me to predict I'll tell you that a team of bunch of useless players who loose to 3rd division team will also be carrying where they left of on Sunday...the whipping boys of the league....funny part is that we'll be crying as usual come the end of the season but that seems to be what is coming to them...lol.

Breaking News...All PSL Fake Panties is reported to have regained his consciousness after being 'rocked' by Baroka and he is reported to be behind the conspiracy and plot to overthrow VV's tenure...what a turn of events...the story is on Sky and BBC shortly before the wedding.

We are going to watch what we call soccer on Sunday my boy, not that Crappy Doooom! Doooom! Rubbish where a player collides with ball then the ball goes into the net.
Any team that will score on Sunday, it won’t be lucky goal from a pink shirt. Both Chief and clowns don’t score lucky goals like AIDS ORPHANS.

After this game I have a strong believe Ajax will benefit a lot by gaining a lot of fans from both teams because they will both be out of the race with a draw and rally behind Ajax..! Goodbye from the race village boys..!

Hl, hl, hl Wonder no Stonza niyang'qeda maDawana! lol.

Bafethu....I'm concerned with Motsepe's Ubuntu social responsibility programme of giving to the 'lesser fortunate' because it has seen us donate a mammoth 9points 'and blankets' to the likes of All Psl Tragedies, King28 'Ma-timing' nabo Kidkwang7 e-Soweto for nothing! mh, mh.

It has to stop....we've given enough. Enough is enough manje! Yessess abancenge nge glue! tl, tl, tl!
