NOT a Orlando Pirates supporter but I say 'well done and well deserved'. Congratulations. You persevered and triumphed. Well-deserved.

Ek se MABUKUKU don't get an erection yet. Your treble record is spoiled by your 7 season hiatus i.e. trophyless ( a clarity for DOM RATS). I challenge any RAT to do a TROPHY comparative analysis from 2001/02-2011/12 season. AND the results is......KHOSI IS STILL ON TOP. SO RATS ,YOU STILL HAVE SOME CATCH UP TO DO!!!

ALL HAIL!!KHOSI

wow...what an entertaining match and good season. Bucs have proved that they can handle the stage fright. They did not fumble or loose concerntration. They went out and produced the result. Well done to all the Bucaneers. Your deserve to be called "THE REIGNING CHAMPS".

I just hope Sundowns guys are taking notes...championships are not won by beating 2nd division class teams 24-0 AND failing to beat your equals. You have to be CONSISTENT to be a CHAMPION.

Also, credit to Gordon and the guys...this year was not yours. Hopefully next season will bring Swallows' first league trophy. We will keep hoping...and praying.

As for Chiefs, they deserved what they got, especially with that ungrateful spoilt brat, Bobby. If Chiefs want to return to the best of PSL in the next season, they have to shake that irritating arrogance from Naturena. Hopefully the R100m from Vodacom will be used well!!! or otherwise, they will stay 3rd class performers. And also, bring back Jimmy Tau as the captain.

I was watching the game with some Chimpanzees from naZOOrena. All that they were seeing in the game were penalties, offsides, red cards. Hauu! madoda. These guys were so used to penalties hence their Shaba is always looking to the referee when he's in the area. Agg Sies man

Chimzos are always amazing. We told them Swallows were not playing against Champs. But they kept on going about Nywallos, nywallos, nywallos. Shame these confused molecules make themselves fools by always following everything that plays champs.

umuncu hliiiiii, infact you are an excellent idiot of all times.
bitterness is eating you up. so wake up before its too late.

we are not counting the past here but talking about the trebble champions twice in a row, when last did youdo that?
Cant you just accept the law of the universe that life is like a ball??

As for Swayi Swayi, guys never give up you did very well and I wouldnt mind if we lost the trophy to you, Bhele was outstanding, but it get to prove that the word team has a deeper meaning.
KC fans were busy making noise about Benny having only 10 league goals forgeting that Benny is matired and what ever he share with the boys he also want to see them practising it hence everybody has turned to be a goal scorer in OP.

Dedication
Commitment
Zeal
Love
Respect
Wisdom
Skill
Expirience
Strong Leadership style
all the above are in the OP camp.

Yesssss!!!!!! Another Big one...Another Cup Treble by the Mighty Champs of S.A. soccer.

I keep saying that it is not by fluke that we are called The Happy People.
The Pace Setters of S.A. Soccer. I am sure that this time,even the most sceptical of them all will agree.

Dankie Champ Benni.....always there when we need you. U are a true legend and a star my champ. dankie ou seun..
Dankie Champ Lucky....a true leader leading by example again..dankie my captain.
Dankie Champ Yster.....the epitome of the fearless,never say die Buccaneer, with guys like you in our team,the mighty Bucs will go to greater heights..dankie my champ.
All our other playa Champs, Dankie my champions for a very top notch performance by all of you. You all showed everybody that you remain the best in the business...You made us happy,no doubt.

Champ Iron Duke,All The other champs in the office,the bench,sponsors and the

@ sexyghost

I can imagine and at that point our adrenalines was pumping like no body's business
Because Arrows gave us a good run worth to celebrate, even Swayi Swayi prayed for a misfortune but it could not happen.

One thing that other teams should learn about the squard we have now is , loving, embracing,respecting each other as a team is very important. Op for now they are a team, one's joys is every body's joy and one's pain is everybody's pain. Njenje is the typical stone aged father who knows how to lead children. Apply rules and stand by them.

So OP knew what was at stake and yeah we have seen that this season, that as long as the ref hasnt said game over then its serious play onn

Definately 100% Ideal way to celebrate our 75TH ANNIVESARY.

From The Iron Duke,Sponsors to everyone else that is the powers behind the Buccanneers,you can walk proud knowing that you have delivered on an important mandate my champions.

A special Dankie also goes to Champs like Champ Marapo,Champ Mapeza and one or two others who first invented the manner of addressing each other as "CHAMP" on the blog. We all copied you guys and as you can see,your champ title has inspired many in the Ghost family...nice one my champs.

So all you are busy doing is to solve for X naye lo onga solveki.

Jealousy is a natural solace for losers. Why is it Striped Donkeys aka Zebras that die first when we conquer in battles that have zilch to do with them?
If it was Birds people that were bitter,I could understand. Donkeys with Stripes were not even competing for the league title yesterday.
Obviously,some Striped Donkeys could not sleep last night after our HISTORIC SECOND TREBLE win. Now they are already galloping around dropping manure all over hoping to spoil the celebrations for the Mighty Champs.
Whats all this yada yada about worthless scrap trophies for? How much are they worth anyway?Statitics that matter include the fact that Bucs has just won R10M compared to R1.5M for Striped Donkeys. OK? Dankie hoarders of worthless junk.

Wow; well done boys you made us proud once again. One thing is clear to me and that is you guys do no longer know what it feels like to loose or play second fiddle to anyone.

A shell-shocked Pirates tried desperately to hit back with Maritzburg goalkeeper Helton da Rocha denying Mbuyane and McCarthy with splendid close-range saves, before Sangweni equalised five minutes before the break.

=============================================================================

Helton da Rocha is not a Maritzburg goalkeeper but Golden Arrows!!!!
