Khune: Stop booing the players

Kaizer Chiefs captain Itumeleng Khune: Stop booing the players

Posted: 27 September 2012 Time: 12:31 pm

Kaizer Chiefs captain Itumeleng Khune says he is concerned with the way some Amakhosi fans behaved on Monday at Mbombela Stadium.

Don't miss: Chiefs call for fans to behave

The Glamour Boys are flying high at the moment and fans should be satisfied with their progress, but Kingston Nkhatha was on the receiving end of boos on Monday as Chiefs ran out 3-1 winners over Bidvest Wits, and Khune admits it is a bitter pill to swallow when fans boo their own team.

"First, I want to thank our supporters for their undying support, but I would really like to ask them not to be hard or harsh on the players.

"We have, in the past few games, experienced the fans booing some of the players. We would appreciate it if you guys could be more patient with the players and stop booing them," Khune says.

Were you one of the boo-boys? Let us know why on Twitter @KickOffmagazine!

Khune was backed by Tefu Mashamaite, who told KickOff.com it saddens the players to see their fans turn against their own team.

"Like the captain has already highlighted, there was a bad picture in Mbombela where our supporters were booing one of our players [Nkhatha] and I think it is uncalled for," he says.

"I just want them to come support us and be 100 percent behind us, even when things are not going okay. At the end of the day, we want to deliver good things to them and we can do with their total support," Mashamaite says.

Nkhatha has scored two goals for Chiefs since joining from Black Leopards.

Champ-Marapo: point of correction, its Wonder n Sweyts who died not Brazilito, he has been given his 22% increase.

At Pirates we boooe players and our players will never tell us this r*bbish because we expect more.

Moneeb and Legwathi came out and apologized to fans and express their understanding why we boooe players.

In simple Engrish Khune is telling Chiefs fans to go to H*LL if they going to carry on booing his players.

Now people will understand what we mean when we say, Pirates fans run the team with Khoza.

No player can utter lamakaka akhulunywa yi lenja ye hlokoloza at Pirates, even Klate said it last week that Pirates fans are spoiled and they respect that as players.

Khune is telling you dogs not to interfere .................................this is exactly what Bobby did but this is a calm manner.

Those must have been some Gorrila fans who are under cover,that is what I call sabotage.

Firstly bayasiloya(hail/broadcasting problems) and when that does not work they go on and boo our on form striker.this must stop.

Point taken Cap.Khune,we will try our best to prevent this happening again.
Marching on.

Players have time on the hands to perfect they skill, we are not going to watch sh*t at Pirates, Chiefs fans can stop booing their players as Khunes says but thina Mabhakaniya will carry booing until a player comes right or fired. This is how much we love this team.

u should have seen Champ Mgugudi kicking a chiefs fan sitting on a wheel chair with a spinning kick and Champ Nespray finishing him off while lying on the ground crying. i was so proud of them, while on the other scene Champ Marapo had a serious fight with one of the Chiefs sdudla ladywho was later admitted at the hospital.

I'll never condone the booing of players, but they (players) also need realise something...........
Problem with most players is that if in a game they get a clean cut opportunity and they mess it up, that takes them completely off game which results in more blunders,, fans on the other hand lose patience..........
Coaches must be assertive enough to realise that a player is off game, despite knowing what that particular is capable of, or risk the player beiing booed......soccer is a passionate sport!!! *that's just me*
