DOWNS4EVER
What happened at the awards was a disgrace to SA football,it really shows that most of those who were part of the judges have Zero knowledge of football.They made decisions based on the noise of the fans not facts and stats.Nothing against Mofokeng but the truth is with 5 goals and 7 assists in 27 games he didn’t deserve to be nominated for footballer of the season ahead of Rayners who played a game less and had 14 goals and 9 assists,even Sales played 19 games and has 8 goals and 8 assists.And for defender of the season you leave out Mudau and also Basadien who has 3 goals and 5 assists,for midfielder of the season Allende with 4 assists should have won it based on the fact that Downs conceded the least number of goals and scored the highest number of goals,this only means our midfielders contributed immensely to those goals but the award was given to a player whom his name doesn’t even appear on the list of top 50 players with the most assists.Those who were the judges should be taken to mental institutions.I’m not a fan of Cardoso but based on the stats he deserved that award,21 games 18 wins,Reveiro 23 games 18 wins and Barker 27 games 14 wins.Some say he won league best of the quality of Downs players yes it is true,you can’t buy Tata and expect beat Ferrari in a race,unless they say it is unlawful to have quality players,that argument is so stupid.
