  1. #1, of course they will lose. What else can you expect from our boys? they always come up with excellent excuses which we also believe every time they lose.

  2. why should they even travel with so much trouble brewing in the Association? today the refs have joined the line of boycotts… congrats great kalu

  3. This game should certainly go on. The game should not be affected by what’s happening in Faz. I think this will all pass soon or later.

  4. There is just too much politics in zambian football,let the team go there and forefull the fixtures.Let us not expect much from the boys,kuti wafwa na BP
