It is very painful to learn that Ernst Middendorp will certainly not field both Billiat and Castro in our next league match and settle for the blunt attack he usually fields. This coach is a shame. Mamkhohlis­o I now see why Chippa Mpengesi is so trigger-happy when it comes to the hiring and firing of coaches. Reports suggest that he pays more than some of the big guns. Mamolifi Doctor Khumalo and Jabu Mahlangu’s recent panel discussion to discuss the repercussi­ons of alcohol indulgence by our footIt

ballers will go a long way towards helping the ill-discipline­d young players who lose their lives at a young age on our roads due to hitting the bottle. Well done. Mogale

Dean Furman is Captain Fantastic and the most discipline­d player to have graced our shores. He puts in Man of the Match performanc­es week in and week out. Malehlohon­olo

News that over 70 people were arrested after the Macufe Cup for drunken driving does not sit well with most of us, especially in a country where our national roads claim a lot of lives due to heavy alcohol intake. Hloni

It was good for Castro and Billiat to give their former coach Pitso Mosimane a reminder of their ‘good old days’ medicine, as Chiefs beat Sundowns. Modiri Moroka

One hopes that Itu Khune’s injury, which his club says will sideline him for about a month, doesn’t set a platform for his early career-shortening process. Goalkeeper­s are generally known for their longevity. MM

We can still teach Mamelodi Sundowns a lesson next week if our coach Ernst Middendorp retains the core of the team that played over the weekend. He can just add some experience at the back. Hloni

The Shell Helix Cup has shown Pitso Mosimane the importance of keeping the players fit through rotation in his team selection. The first-half performanc­e exposed a lot of frailties in his team, especially at the back. Rivaldo Coetzee should retire from the game before it is too late. Moeketsi Lebesa

Well done to Molefi Ntseki for bringing the South African flair to Bafana Bafana and the win against Mali. The well-oiled onetwo interchang­es were very telling and very much presenting our identity together with our brand of football. The so-called ‘Madiba Shirt’ the coach was wearing befitted the occasion too. Modiri Moroka
