ANGRY: Doctor Khumalo

 Chiefs angry at PSL

The match is scheduled for Milpark Stadium just two days after six of their players return from friendly matches for Bafana Bafana against Poland in Warsaw and Kenya in Nairobi last night.

Khumalo, a former Bafana player, said that staging the Telkom last 16 clash so soon after the players' return "did no justice to the game".

The six Chiefs players who toured with Bafana are Itumeleng Khune, Eric Mathoho, Reneilwe Letsholonyane, Siphiwe Tshabalala, George Lebese and Bernard Parker.

"Whoever took this decision from the cup committee did not apply logic. No one seems to have taken into account the fact that we have more than eight players doing duty for their respective national teams," said Khumalo.

Kingston Nkhatha and Lincoln Zvasiya have also been away with Zimbabwe for Nations Cup qualifiers that took place at the weekend.

"It was senseless and no justice has been done to the game or Chiefs. We would have liked to see the PSL acknowledge that we have players in the national team serving their country," Khumalo said.

The PSL said Amakhosi had complained about the Friday fixture when the dates for the Telkom Knockout matches were announced last week.

But, according to the league, shifting the games around would have "inconvenienced everyone".

"It is not only Chiefs who have players in the national team because there are also players from Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates who are scheduled to play on Saturday," said PSL spokesperson Connie Motshumi. "We received their letter last week and immediately wrote back to say we would not be making any changes."

Wits should not blame Chiefs on Friday when we wallop them with 3-0. We will take our anger to them. Why Chippa and Celtics who have few players on national duty cannt play on Friday and we play on Sunday?

We will win the league by hook or crook you can do what ever you want PSL you will never stop us

This is only the beginning Doctor K. We've got man players in the squad. Africa Nations Cup is around the corner. Our players are going to be overworked and it might affect their performance in the league. Parker was overworked last night, you could see that the guy was tired.

Connie Motshumi? Who is this now?

If the PSL does not appreciate when Chiefs allow their players to represent the contry, then KC should refuse their players to do national duty as they are employed to their company, trully PSL was suppose to move the Telkom game to another date what if all those players were injured on national duty? Connie Motshumi nyana o oa nya.
