fans have reacted with disappointment after the club failed to make it into the Caf Champion League group stages.Pirates were knocked-out of the competition by Botswana outfit Jwaneng Galaxy 5-4 on penalties at Orlando Stadium on Friday.
The Soweto giants had set their eyes on going far in the continental tournament, but things didn’t go their way, much to the distress of their supporters, who came in big numbers at Orlando. “We lost it in Botswana Joe.. I don’t even wanna say much about how Pirates approached this year’s Champions League.. the interest was never there from both technical and players. Remember how we struggled in Seychelles?,” wrote @Karinaitor.
“Yhoo! I don’t have words. We are out… so embarrassing…Yes the team is under pressure now… they have to win MTN 8… or else. I still believe we have players, good players to compete…. But I don’t think they’re being utilised in a good way,” said @Ras_JAPHTA.
