That's a First Class ground, against a FC team... Couldn't even get the game played because the conditions were bad.![]()

I'm sure you're right. Embarrassing none the less...secretzimbo wrote: ↑Wed Oct 08, 2025 12:02 pmIt wasn’t that bad, I’ve seen worse.

That’s a seriously woeful selection. Sigh.

According to Mawoza white boys opted out of this series in order to attend Jonathan Campbell's wedding in South africa
If it's true, then it's an L move by those people

Probably true, but then maybe ZC should have given them more than 10-days notice that this tour was even happening?Marshmallow wrote: ↑Wed Oct 08, 2025 4:55 pmAccording to Mawoza white boys opted out of this series in order to attend Jonathan Campbell's wedding in South africaIf it's true, then it's an L move by those people

Even considering opt-outs, it’s still a terrible selection even then

Re: 2023-2031 FTP news, updates, etc
Look a wedding normally takes longer then a months notice. So ZC would have been aware of it.
Similar thing happened for Jarvis.
A simple explanation in the Zim squad statement would have avoided any discourse.

There will be Sogo games on 10.10 and 11.10
That will clear all these speculation and exucuses.

In fact... Two rangers games on the 10th... Nothing at the weekend.Irwin Goodman wrote: ↑Wed Oct 08, 2025 8:53 pmThere will be Sogo games on 10.10 and 11.10

If anything, that schedule would seem to confirm that they are trying to avoid the 11th and 12th.
Very odd that the league at this level would allow a club to move games, to avoid a wedding. If indeed, that is what is happening... As ever, the cloak of secrecy just leaves a vacuum for conspiracies!
