- Dear readers, please note that the Mgosi airtime competitio­n will be back next week!

The Citizens maintain their 100% record over their local rivals the Urban Warriors. Moshe

What a shame from the family business of Naturena. We supporters are being let down by management, the coach and the players big time. I only see Steve Komphela leaving as his contract has only three months to go, so paying him out won’t be that expensive. P

Thanks Kgokolo Thobejane for teaching Steve Komphela a lesson, especially how to play football and not how to speak English. He can keep his proper English and you keep your three points. Irvin Moshidi

One team’s loss is another team’s gain, This is the tale of Gift Motupa, I wonder what Pirates are thinking? Go Baroka and make history for Limpopo. J Dube, Alex

Now I know why Pitso asked Tau not to dribble too. Sundowns could have scored a lot of goals against Platinum Stars. Tau, it seems, cannot pass without dribbling. J Dube

Bidvest Wits are unlikely to defend their title. Their only hope is to fight for the top 8. Nyaps Makuwa

The refereeing in the PSL has been so poor that even the winning coaches can’t stop whining. Why can’t we sort out our business at home and get decent referees? Matome

It seems that Baroka are well prepared and I don’t think they will let us down again – not when 16V is the technical director. Moshe

Chiefs’ players have no “winner” mentality. They take games as they come and hope for the best. Komphela must be moved to the technical team. Gift Skosana

Last Saturday I found my face getting paler from one minute to the next because of the recalcitra­nt Polokwane City, who compelled me to celebrate a draw for the first time since I fell in love with Orlando Pirates in 1978. Half a loaf is better than nothing, Bucs! S’nkonkela

Despite Cape Town City being victors in the Cape derby, coach Benni McCarthy needs to work on his temper. He twice confronted Ajax Cape Town players although there’s a referee to deal with the misdemeano­urs on the pitch. Buti Nkonki

Baroka FC exposed Kaizer Chiefs’ defence. The team from Limpopo were the hungriest on the night. They have strong and dedicated hard-working players. Congratula­tions to everyone who has contribute­d to the turnaround of things there. Rudolf Malibe

The first-round dominance of the so-called small teams in the PSL indicates that competitio­n is fierce. No more superpower­s. It is everybody’s dominance. Baroka FC and Golden Arrows are gunning for something big this season. Godfrey

Mr Editor, the prediction­s on soccer 6, 10, 13 and extra come in very helpful to many of us, but on Sunday Soccer 13 there are never any prediction­s to help us. Thebeetsil­e Modisaeman­g

How can Irvin Khoza say he is happy with the new setup at Pirates? We have lost vital points already, we should have been more prepared for Wits, and to draw with Baroka, please man! I’ve said before, I’d rather lose a coach than points. Uncle Hugh

Safa and the PSL should consider engaging fully trained referees permanentl­y to bring up the standard of the game and the fight against corruption. It is early in the PSL season and we are witnessing pathetic refereeing. It is not fair on the teams, coaches, players or fans. T Hoosain

I suggest to the PSL that each player that scores three or more goals in a month be given a bonus to motivate our strikers to do more. Benny Rabaji

Pirates are not yet a team that play with discipline, accurate passes, good decision-making, they play with unnecessar­y haste. Moshe

Chippa United are playing superb football, it’s just a pity results are not coming their way. Matome

I think Safa and the PSL don’t want South African football to grow – why do we still have 16 teams in the PSL? They must stop thinking of their own pockets and think about the future of SA football, and increase the teams to 20. Cashwell

Nkosingiph­ile Gumede is a wonderful player to watch, I hope he will be made Khune’s understudy in the national team. He is the reason Arrows are on top. JD

I’ve always had a soft spot for Cosmos, I don’t think they deserve to play in the National First Division. I think the time is ripe for Jomo to call it quits as coach and hire somebody to take over as coach. Frank Pienaar

Great achievemen­t by Banyana Banyana, these young ladies must be properly recognised, sponsor-wise and wage-wise. I am glad they got home before auntie Grace realised what happened! Hugh
