Win, lose we beat...
They mete out “justice” to their own players who fail to live up to their expectations, can order a coach to quit or even an official, and when incensed by the referee they chant: “Waloyo, olowa, wagoi.” (We win, we lose we still beat you up.)
Gor fans are known to be adept stone throwers, probably second to none across Africa. It’s their way to mete out “justice” when a referee denies them what they believe is their birthright.
To K’Ogalo fans, its either they win, win or win. A loss must be extremely fair, but still somebody has to explain the loss.
Chanting war songs of the Kidi, kidi kende (Stone, only stones) variety, they charge into the pitch, caring less if their actions also leave their own players injured in the process. They never take aim; they hurl stones aimlessly into the pitch.
On Wednesday night, they came in their thousands at the Nyayo National Stadium to cheer their team against Ulinzi Stars in the Kenyan Premier League Top Eight clash, a tournament whose winner earns Sh1 million.
An hour before the game, the Green Army had started chanting on the terraces ready to face the real soldiers — Ulinzi Stars. They say they are never shaken, like a tree that has grown on a rock on Migingo Island.
They have corrupted a Christian hymn: Sama wan K’Ogalo, ok’wayiengini. (When we are at Ogalo’s, we are unshakable.) Reminds one of Gidi Gidi Maji Maji’s song Unbwogable. And they never seem to stop singing the anthem: K’Ogalo taya, Gor, timbe duto yuakni, (Gor Mahia the lamp, all teams tremble before you!)
They sang the anthem just before kick-off, so confident their boys would deliver victory against the team that denied them the Premier League title last season.
But football being unpredictable, it was Ulinzi who surged ahead in the 37th minute through Mike Baraza. There was a deafening silence. A falling pin could have made a louder noise than the K’Ogalo fans at that point.
