GU BOOZEY PARTY

BOTSWANA Premier League reigning Champions, Gaborone United, were knocked out in the first round of the CAF Champions League by DRC’S AS Vita on Sunday.

The Money Machine, as GU are called, were making their return to regional football after a long hiatus. Although the club’s officials blamed a hostile environment and dubious refereeing for their loss, Shaya does not buy it. Yours Truly has been made aware of a worrying behaviour displayed by some of the team’s management and players. It has become common to see certain individuals who are part of management binge drinking with players at events around Gaborone. This practice is more common at social football gatherings and at Tsholofelo flats.

There’s nothing wrong with grabbing a pint or glass of wine once in a while, but a player that drinks until 4am has no future in football, and a football official who allows it to happen is an enemy of the sport. Listen to Shaya, stay away from the bottle and focus on your game.
