Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Polokwane City will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Francis Baloyi in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Polokwane City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Graduation day at Polokwane City
4 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

No investment in the facilities at Polokwane City
Nothing about this will be in a press release. A plan went upstairs, came back rejected, and the version of the club that would have existed in three years' time just quietly stopped being possible.
