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.

Simon Ramabu runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Still no ink between Polokwane City and Sibusiso Tshabalala
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Polokwane City, another week without a signature from Sibusiso Tshabalala.

Tlou Nkwe takes the honours
Marked 7.64 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Polokwane City had the best player on the pitch.

Polokwane City buy the years ahead of Luther Mabunda
He is 14, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Polokwane City sign Morgan Lorch, one for the future
Morgan Lorch is 14, and Polokwane City have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

A long bet from Polokwane City on Evidence Mokoena
He is 14, and nobody at Polokwane City signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Polokwane City pick somebody else ahead of Brian Bwire
There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

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.
In brief
- Match No goals between Polokwane City and Ajax Cape Town
