Shingi facing assault charges from soccer incident

Post by CrimsonAvenger »

6 months ago, Shingi seems to have assaulted some "innocent" guy in a football friendly for his actions over kicking younger brother Wellington, and is facing charges in court: http://www.newsdzezimbabwe.co.uk/2017/0 ... match.html

As an aside, not sure why these guys have to play football of all the sports, having witnessed what has happened to Chatara...

When I predicted Shingi's triumphant return to the team this year, I had no idea it would be a comeback of Vermeulen-esque proportions.

:lol: This incident makes your prediction all the more plausible. People involved with cricket in Zim have the most exciting lives from an outsider's point of view...

By the way, Shingi Winston had become Westone. Now it is Winstone Shingi...

I guess they just love to play. Wasn't Shingi playing profesionally before he turned to cricket as a career? For what it's worth, I'd prefer them to do any sport during the off-season instead of putting their feet up or hanging out at KFC.
