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.

You are 100% right, It does not make sense at all.
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.

Arthur , dont be a fool lana, who says Kaizer Snr voted for Iron Lips? unless it was an unanimous decision.....and your use of words, typical of a Kwaito artist....how does unconscionably fit in your statement? im sure you meant to say "Indirectly" ...mxm. These Gorilla faith-fools are a waist of data bundles waitsi.
Khosiologyst: Clearly u are not aware of the relationship that exist between Khoza and Kaizer?
if so, then u dont understand SA football, why do they share sponsors just an eg wena sdanywa mphuphu.
Khosiology: how does unconscionably
