The Highlanders-Dynamos saga; ad-hoc committee and another and ...

One moment Highlanders make the correct headlines and the next it's a shameful affair of Fathi's payments. And then you think they they will play in the finals of the BancABC Sup8r and then on this one, Dynamos want to compete to be foolish and say they will play the replay, then fail to turn up and concede Bosso should go ahead. As soon as they think the ink of their correspondence will dry up, they make a u-turn and claim they want justice for a match they won.

The Premier Soccer League has of late come up with an appeasement for the Harare side. Twine Phiri is reported to have claimed to set up another ad-hoc committee to deal with the issue from scratch. The verdict will come and Bosso and Dembare will go about business exactly the barbaric way, and frankly, I am sick and tired of their childish antics. Tired.

Highlanders are already throwing a tantrum beforehand. They will not accept anything anything not coming from the ZIFA board both teams did not contest the ZIFA decision to replay that match. They claim to respect the national association as the custodians of the game, yet they went to the courts, not ZIFA, with a grievance of the same issue. It is the same argument by Dynamos that the decision for the replay came in the wake of a court of law interfering with diski.

As for Dembare, they did not fulfil the fixture due players dictating boardroom issues. Players told their board that they are not playing and guess what, the bosses shivered and chickened out. A chicken and egg situation tinted with kindergarten drama. Now, the set up ad-hoc committee has a lot of time to waste and I hope there will be funds for coffee and cookies.

All they need now is a coin with 2 different sides, one blue and the other black and white. They will have to toss it and save valuable time. They can even fixture the match and whoever turns up first plays the final. Personally, I would ask Caps United to select a team from both sides and that team would play without coach. BancABC would have their mileage on the final and Bosso and Dembare would scream their lungs out. I would stuff my ears with earphones and play Bob Marley music, 'Crazy Bald Heads'. Otherwise, make the team that makes the first noise to go and play Division one football.

Maybe the PSL and ZIFA should get Bosso and Dembare executive members to be the members of the that ad-hoc committee. They will need to engage the army with armoured vehicles and lock the two teams in a single small cell with candle light and no aircon. There must be no food nor drink and the teams should not come out until they have a verdict of their mess. No toilet facilities or breaks should be permitted and neither will be the smoke breaks.

On that Fathi issue, The Chronicle reports that he sought his embassy to get the money from Bosso. Bosso bought him the ticket to fly out of the country but no man can leave his money behind. That story just bores me now and I will spare you the agony. Bayasisukela laba, basijwayela kabi.
