#A FEW ROGUE FANS OUT TO TAUNT GOR MAHIA’S EXEMPLARY SEASON RUN

GINI WASEKAO


Gini Wasekao! (This thing we have taken). This is the talk in the Gor Mahia fans stands even as the team scents for a double- a KPL title and the GOTV Shield. Even as we await the confirmation of these two major titles; I am a disappointed Gor Mahia fan. It is official, the gods have spoken that we are destined for a GOTV “Mashemeji Derby” final after on Sunday AFC Leopards continued their dominance over Sofapaka.
Ingwe beat the stubborn 2009 League champs 2-0 in the GOTV shield semis to book a final date with arch-rivals Gor Mahia; at the Moi International Sports Centre Kasarani.
But my disappointment points way back to Saturday’s game pitting Gor Mahia against Sony Sugar. We did edge out Sony 4-2 on post-match penalties in the GOTV semis at Moi Kasarani.
I watched in dismay as the match was overshadowed by violence after our fans attacked Sony Sugar goalkeeper Wycliffe Kasaya.
The game was a boiling point- litmus test since four weeks ago; a match involving the two clubs was abandoned in Awendo, after Gor scored the second goal. To date; the matter is yet to be decided upon as the appeals committee of Football Kenya Federation (FKF) is expected to issue a ruling later this week.
But back to Kasarani or Kisirani as they call it; and Kasaya had allegedly insulted the fans who immediately after the final whistle cornered and rained blows and kicks on him.
It took the intervention of Gor scouts, who to me did a recommendable job; and acted fast to save Kasaya from serious harm as they whisked him to the dressing room to receive treatment.
Some fans were overheard claiming that the goalkeeper had insulted them while others said it was revenge for Kasaya’s alleged attack on Gor goalkeeper Jerim Onyango during their Kenya Premier League (KPL) second leg match recently.
The said match ended prematurely and is a subject of an appeal before the relevant FKF committee. Sony Sugar has come out guns blazing claiming they will take legal action. FKF chairman, Sam Nyamweya has also pledged to discipline rogue fans.












But questions are also arising on the apparent security lax. How were fans allowed inside the pitch without restraint; putting in danger the lives of both sets of players?
As Gor Mahia’s staunch follower, I condemn the hooliganism depicted on Saturday. These few goons must be punished since they are the few out to spoil the team’s good run.
We now await our “shemejis” for the final derby!
GINI WASEKAO! DONGE!!!
