In case you were wondering, wonder no more. Highlanders are set to meet Caps United in the final of the BancABC Cup, that is if the final will ever take place. I endeavour not to be a prophet of doom and therefore, I will strike only the positive notes.
Yesterdays' no show by Dynamos is a common DNTU case usually treated as a walk-over and punished by awarding the match to the team that turned up. This means Dynamos lose the match by a 2-0 scoreline for 'Did Not Turn Up'ing. Their point; they wanted to play only the 9 minutes of the match they led 1-0 at abandonment ages ago. Whatever they want to tell you, I care less. There is an insane line in their story that is just insane.
Their executive board implies they cannot handle their players who control the club. They hope me and you have pea-sized brains to believe their players choose which matches to play and under what conditions. An official of the club claims they tried to engage their players trying to convince them to play the match. Since when has a team implored contracted players to play any given match? And they go on to choose which minutes of the match they want to play. Worse, the club is at peace with that.
“The players said they were not going to fulfil the match citing the fact that they were leading 1-0 when the original match was abandoned in Bulawayo", claims one official. I hope the same players will not decide to play injury time of the first half or something in the ZAOGA Charity Shield on Sunday. If they do, Bosso will pocket the $35 000,00 without kicking a ball.
Dynamos may have been in trouble with players over the payment of their winning bonuses, which they felt were now overdue, but the fact that they had to spoil it for all the teams as the sponsor is packing their bags and leaving the building, I guess the only justice befitting the crime would be Dembare packing theirs instead. To Dembare, there would rather be no football than to have no Dembare. They are a game unto themselves.
Looking ahead, if Caps United catch the same flu, Mkhuphali Masuku will increase his 100% to 4 league and 2 Cup wins. He will have amassed $80 000,00 for Bosso, much more that Fathi has brought in the whole year. Please remember that Fathi earned much more money than Cooper. That is the law of local football. You make the money and I earn it.
