Bucs may be charged over fans

Orlando Pirates may be charged with unruly spectator behaviour

Posted: 14 December 2011 Time: 08:21 pm

Orlando Pirates could be charged with unruly spectator behaviour after their fans invaded the pitch at the Moses Mabhida Stadium during the Telkom Knockout Cup final last Saturday. 

Pirates fans invaded the pitch soon after referee Daniel Bennett blew the final whistle to hand the Mighty Buccaneers their first Telkom Cup trophy.   This is not the first incident in which Bucs supporters invaded pitch. They also did it when the Soweto giants won the Absa Premiership title in May this year.   PSL manager Derek Blanckensee confirmed receipt of the match commissioner’s report of the incident in Durban last weekend.   "We have received the report regarding the match in Durban last Saturday and it has since been forwarded to the league's prosecutor," he says.   Blanckensee, however, could not shed any light on the incident involving Wits' Eric Tinkler and striker Benni McCarthy.   Both Tinkler and McCarthy were involved in a scuffle at half-time.   McCarthy told KickOff.com in Johannesburg that he has not forgiven Tinkler after the provocation.   "I haven't spoken to him since the incident and I don't intend doing so. They are non-existent in my life and I am pretty sure I don't exist in theirs too. But I certainly won't forget about the incident."

Lol.... This is funny... Who chose the stadium we played at, go and fine your stupid commitee that didnt make sure that the pitch has enough security for pitch invasions.....

I am sure the KING of South Africa soccer Dr Khoza will make sure that we receive a suspended sentence.....

Gone are the days were trophies are won dubiously.... Gone are the days when SABC was the official brocaster for the PSL... Since Supersport took over as the official brodcaster only 1 trophy out of 6 has gone to any other team.... But 5 out of 6 went to the biggest most respected team in history of South African football...

Football 101 was mastered at the University of Orlando.

Wits was a home team, they should be charged for not providing enough security to contain the capacity crowd.
Pirates is not 1 skipper team or Gayser Chiefs aka Family Business FC
