“You can motivate players better with kind words than you can with a whip.” – Bud Wilkinson, Famous College Football Coach.

The barren draw against visiting Seychelles side Anse Re-Union in the CAF confederations cup indeed didn’t go down well with the majority but we must quickly shift gear and look at the task ahead, which to me…

As a football fan I may have been heart broken on last season’s TPL final match day, but in professional football one of the traditions we all adhere to is to never look back.

After the International break, another weekend crowded with TPL events is here with us and our focus as usual is on Gor Mahia and may be other ‘worthy’ title chasers. City Stadium will be the place to be on Saturday to witness Gor Mahia sorting out their differences with Karuturi Sports. Apart from the few Gor players who were involved in International duty, the rest of the team have been busy hitting the training ground with all the seriousness and concentration needed. Looking at the past five league matches for both teams, a lot can be discussed considering their match…
Gor Mahia kept their FKF Cup defending ambitions alive after seeing off hard fighting Muhoroni Youth 4-2 albeit on post match penalties, at the city stadium on Sunday afternoon. The match which had a lively start and an array of chances in regulation time never seemed to head for shoot out, but lack of clinical finishing when it mattered most by both teams ensured the all headed for the spot kicks decider at full time. The defending champions had an almost perfect start but Muhoroni Youth custodian Joseck Gathongo was fast off his line to deny Rama Salim a through…
