I BELIEVED Orlando Pirates would finally catch up with Kaizer Chiefs in the league title race. But after their midweek draw against Free State Stars I have decided otherwise.

Injuries can't be used as an excuse for the team's lacklustre performance as most of them occurred in the last third of the season.

I put the blame squarely on chairman Irvin Khoza for firing Rudi Krol and eventually bringing in the clueless Roger De Sa.
