Wembe or no wembe methinks @TAZ has a valid point.


However on a more positive note I can't wait to see the electric atmosphere that will engulf Nairobi when Gor starts their continental campaign......In EPL they say "Things can't get any better"

IF YOU EXPECT ME TO POST ANYTHING POSITIVE ABOUT ASENO, YOU MAY AS WELL SIT ON A PIN

I also have to ask, whats your problem,

Best loser or no best loser, they still had to beat other teams that were not best losers to win the cup,

In any case, who was denied the opportunity that Gor took.

Here's a rule which was introduced after Gor were eliminated. I don't think it will be there next season....How i miss the good old days of Moi Golden Cup.

@ Dossy7...i don't think that rule is used anywhere else, its a straight forward knock-out tournament, they are no pools. Its not just about Gor hata Western Stima didn't deserve to be there!

@Taz i read somewhere and i quote Mike Okinyi of citizen sports.
Quote:
The actual position is that after registration closed and the draw was done, some kpl clubs pulled out. This forced fkl to convene a meeting of all concerned, ie clubs that were participating. From the meeting t...hey agreed that he best losers from round one will fill in the gaps left in the draw plus third round as well so that there are 16 clubs. This was agreed and signed by all clubs BEFORE the tournament started.

C & P

"Kenyan Premier League side Congo United have threatened to pull out of the FKL Cup if Gor Mahia and Western Stima are allowed to play in the third round.

A bitter Congo United President Fadhil Bayusuf wondered why corruption was creeping into football by allowing teams knocked out to come back under the guise of being best losers.

Congo stunned Gor Mahia beating them 10-9 on penalties while West Sugar lost 3-2 to AFC leopards in the second round but were were included in the third round by FKL as being best losers.

"We will pull out of the FKL cup if at all the so called best losers are allowed to play. This is unacceptable that after working so hard some officials are trying to favour big teams."

"Where have you had knock out matches having best losers?” He posed adding, "This is corruption creeping into football and we cannot accept this." SUPERSPORT

Kwani who attended that meeting....Its funny that we only got to hear of the "Best Loser" rule after the match. Anyway, they are the winners now so all the best to them in the continental cup.
