Bucs appeal leads to suspension

Orlando Pirates challenge Safa on laws

Posted: 27 September 2012 Time: 09:17 am

The PSL has announced that cases involving spectator misbehaviour have been suspended pending an outcome of an appeal made by Orlando Pirates to Safa Appeals Board.

In their appeal papers, Pirates challenged the interpretation of Rule 53.2.3 and Rule 53.3.4 of the National Soccer League (NSL) that they are strictly/vicariously liable for the conduct of their spectators.

This affects at least three cases involving Pirates – two being contested by the club and other pending DC cases of spectator misbehaviour.

PSL Head of Legal Ntsietso Mofokeng said the determination affects the cornerstone of liability of clubs for their supporters' misbehaviour.

The PSL DC panel said: “It is only proper that until the Appeal Board (of Safa) decides on whether have been giving a proper interpretation to this rule or not, then all other matters that are pending the DC, will thereafter start giving the interpretation as pronounced by the Appeals Board.”

The reasoning of the DC was that as the charges in the current matters involved an interpretation of the same rule under which Pirates was previously charged and found guilty, it did not want to act in a manner that would pre-judge that appeal.

The PSL is Syria because of one man. The Iron Lips is at it again. ....how do you make and endorse rules, and later challenge those rules. Meaning you deliberately left a gap in those rules knowing you are likely to be charged on them, now u will use those omissions against the rulings?

RUBBISH NXX!

Leave The Iron Duke out of this man. This has got nothing to do with him. The PSL has decided not the "The Iron Duke"

We no loopholes in some of the clauses pertaining to the charges, now we are seting a temporary precedent, why not? Pirates Soccer Leagues and its NSL rules is our yoyo, you cannot build a house without hidden escaping points like de zebra minded ones.

Does it make sense that Jessica is hlokolozing George Lebese, if not then this does n't make sense at all.

anyway, what is money to Pirates, we are going to do this again when we win the Nedbank,Telkom,the league and a 2nd star.

I am sure all Chiefs dogs are aware that their clever chairman elected the mafia and he reports to the mafia.

Khoza did n't elect himself, he was deemed fit by the PSL club owners, so unconsciously u are all blaming your club bosses.
