Ojuang: Unruly fans cost Gor Mahia the title
Daily Nation columnist Moses Ojuang makes the point that fans are to blame for not winning the league.
Gor Mahia and Leopards are the most successful sides in the country. They have a large following of exuberant fans. One would think these fans are a blessing to them.
Surprisingly, it is the same fans who pull down the teams! If Gor Mahia fans had behaved themselves during the first leg match against Tusker, K’Ogalo would not have lost key points.
Fans are squarely to blame for the three points that Gor Mahia lost because of crowd trouble. On the other hand, Leopards missed relegation by a whisker.
We need to take into consideration the fact that the docking of the points must have demoralised the playing unit and contributed to the dismal performance of Ingwe.
At the moment, Leopards seem to be more focused on the next season. The entire technical bench was kicked away and the new manager, Stewart Hall, is already laying ground for the new season. We do wish them well.
Gor and Leopards need a great deal of help. Ironically, that help should come from their fans.
These clubs lack the capacity to control the goons in their midst. It is a difficult task to separate the grain from the chaff. Officials cannot arbitrarily ban fans, because they do not know them personally.
They lack the capacity to employ enough stewards to help maintain order during their matches. We can list so many other problems, but in the end, it all boils down to the fans.
While the docking of points is harsh, it serves as a reminder to unruly fans that hooliganism will not be tolerated. True football fans go to the stadium because of their love for the beautiful game and are put off by violence.
It is an open secret that it takes just a few bad eggs to stop a match with stones. The photo of a fan assaulting a match official during a past Gor match against Tusker match was very disgusting, to say the least.
That mindless fellow may have received high fives from his fellow goons in the urinal, but we do hope that reality dawns on him that his actions cost his team the title.
this was the most unfortunate decision I have witnessed. Those players would have earned a bonus for winning the league and better their lives. They were the ultimate bearers of responsibility for an act they did not commit. It is inconceivable for the players livelihood to be jeopardized by a single fun who continue to live his life freely. While he thought he was fighting for the team, he has brought the team down..
Several questions go begging
was it not possible to apprehend this person and put him behind bars
was it not possible for Gor to play behind empty closed stadium
how aggressive were the official in resolving this issue
For these silly omissions and wrong decision by the disciplinary and Gor official, players like Marcelo will complete the season without a championship. To FKF, league should not be decided in boardrooms.
It is true that hooliganism is costly and i abhor it in the strongest terms possible. With that said, FKF need to be consistent in their decisions to avoid feelings of unfairness. Just a few months after the Gor-Tusker fiasco,AFC Leopards fans invaded the pitch in their match against Posta Rangers and assaulted Matasi. The penalty was a fine and not points docked. If they were to be fair they should have applied the same standard here too. Theree is a segment of Gor fans who will always riot at the slightest provocation no matter how many points we get docked( The Top 8 final comes to mind) and it will take years of work to cure.
Gor winning the league is not cast in stone , neither is it that big deal the writer of this article is inept , clueless and is out to please a particular constinuency ( haters )
There are other factors too which contributed to gor not winning the league like other teams playing to get points from gor mahia, EC. Lack of vision , loss of form and poor planning by kpl
Docking of points on the basis of crowd trouble is not only harsh but also antifootball. Points are earned or lost on the pitch, anything extraneous to this is boardroom. Let it be known that no club has capacity to control hooligans. With docking of points I dare say that clubs with huge followers like Gor and AFC will not win the league in the near future
As much as docking of points is unfair for any club the fans must always know that some of their behaviors are criminal. Throwing missiles into the field. what if it hits your own player? Fans should also know that football is used by sponsors to market their goods and/or services and if in the process there is chaos it doesn’t portray the brand in a positive way. I think there are many ways of protesting without necessarily being violent.
As much as there are several reasons we lost the title e.g. two many draws, loss of influential players, loss of form for Tuyisenge we stood a chance had we not been docked three points. The fact that ingwe wasn’t docked points does not justify our behavior. Like @Japap said that we cannot desist from hooliganism then we should be prepared to suffer the consequences. Especially with the current regime.
I heard that Gor is contemplating going to court over the three points. I don’t think that is a very wise move. LET’S ACCEPT AND MOVE
@Dan, my post did not refer to the Ingwe game to justify our behavior. A careful reading will tell you that it’s import was to call for fairness, level playing field and consistency when it comes to decisions. Even if you arrested that fan, Mwendwa would still have penalized Gor. If anything the home team was to take care of security, which they did not. The argument that Gor did not control their fans as the basis for docking does not wash. The fan captured assaulting the assistant referee was not dressed in Gor colours but in black!!! Who decided that he was a Gor fan? And I was wondering, how do you propose we curb hooliganism?
Even if we were to be awarded the docked points,its not a guarantee that we will beat Tusker in the final game.Let this be a wake up call to the EC(outgoing or incoming),to fight hooliganism to its grave and to the hooligans,let their days be numbered and should they be arrested and found guilty ,let them be locked up and the keys thrown into the dead sea!!
Meanwhile,the team will need to go back to the drawing board,regroup,come up with new strategy and off course recruit well to mount a credible challenge in 2017!!
If you think docking points due to hooliganism is harsh then you must be suggesting that those who get maimed by the hooligans, those whose windscreens get destroyed, those whose cars get burnt etc must be very impressed by the hooliganism and that the victims are getting fair treatment. Truth be told, hooliganism should even result in the whole team being disqualified from the whole league or relegated to lowest division!!! Are the hooligans happy when police lob teargas at the children, the disabled, the weaker sexes etc we go with to stadium?
I hear some fans want to go to court. I can give them free legal advise, that the case is time bared. The judge will ask them why they did not go to court before Tusker won the league. They will be asked whether they are coming to court because they now cannot win the league. Sorry for them, their advisors have misled them.
HOOLIGANISM must be stoped. It is killing not just football but our society as a whole.

@ DAn Original your only problem in this site is that you are too bright to analyse some critical points. YOU have put it clear that its Holiganism that has made Gor most respected in the region. Because officials are always pushed to do right things even though we are hated from east to west North to south. if we drop this vital Material we are openly on the verge to relegation due to unfair treatment by match officials and By Nick Mwendwa cronies. To those who were bribed by Nick Mwendwa nad Voted for him you can see what you have costed the kenya Premier league everthing going to his friends. we cannot afford to see our good tem ma miyo wamor amidst political frustrations to be frustrated by kikuyus and kambas who cannot play football. if gor has to be frustrated then Mwenwa must also prepare to deduct all the points from Gor.
Also settling this issue throgh court is the most appropriate way being next year there will be alot of emotions in gor fans camp that will be hard to settle and might cost us more. So court case to be filled i will pay for the lawyer.

So court case to be filed as fat as possible i will pay for the lawyer/ i will be for the Fans group in court as the advocate.
I hear some fans have gone to court t get back the three points. AR has adviced them that it’s an exercise in futility. After exhausting the internal process including the Sports Tribunal the next step is the ISA (International Sports Court Arbitration). The costs involved we cannot afford.
What the fans should have done is to ‘arrest’ one of their own who was captured on camera molesting the ref and use it as proof of fighting the vice when we were going thro the IDCC and IDAC as well as the Sports Tribunal process.
You cannot break the law and then go to court to be awarded damages.
We Must Accept and Move on. Stewart Hall of Ingwe last nite said that the value of our league increases when other teams win as well.
This writer is insinuating things that can’t help at this point in time since even the Sofapaka & Western Stima Draws cost us the Title chase big time not forgetting Tusker might hold us to a draw in the final game or even win (This is football and we are currently psychologically deflated).The league is going to Ruaraka because of FkF and their leader who detests Gor,a fact well known to all who know him personally.Yes the above fan erred and should have been reprimanded but why have so many other incidents not been highlighted like Francis Kimanzi being Red Carded on Sunday against Sofapaka for foul language on the Referee and refusing to leave the Touchline causing a 20 minute stoppage while arguing with match officials till the intervention of Mathare Chairman Bob Munroe to calm him and walk him to the terraces did play resume.Why not Dock Mathare 3 points for that stoppage as was the case for Gor and award Sofapaka the 3 points even though they drew 2-2 in the end?This double standards cannot go unchallenged,Meanwhile IDCC is mum on the same while any incident involving Gor gets rooftop noise and condemnation.Let’s fight hooliganism but rem not to play to the hands & tunes of anti-gor people who have never, can never and will never see anything good in the Green & White of GM…
STOP THE PETTYNESS ! LETS MOVE ON .
Jakoyo my Brother please answer this Question in your Wisdom-Should the Law apply fairly in all constitutional Dispensations or Should the Penal Code be Applied Selectively?Should similar offenses attract different sentences depending on the Law Breaker?It’s exactly what is happening in the KPL Now,Stand Firm with Mayienga Now & Forever…
@ Jakoyo, As we move on-which I have- remember this monster of docking points may hit us again(or any other club for that matter) in future. l reassert that Hooligans need to be dealt with but not through docking of points. In this matter IF the club (and not the TEAM) was found to be culpable the appropriate punishment would be monetary fine (playing in empty stadium to deny the club revenue) or a stated amount of money. Note that this would be borne by the club and not the team. Docking of points should apply when a team is culpable e.g through match fixing or fielding ineligible players. Points in football are won or lost on the pitch, and so if a team does anything untoward on the pitch, that is when they should suffer by losing points. The long and short of my argument is that the decision to dock points was flawed. It was directed to the TEAM instead of the Club.
It is also important to note that dealing with Hooligans will not be easy for our Clubs, and not even our federation is capable. By the way, suppose next season a hooligan chooses to bring down an opposing team by causing chaos in all their matches. what would happen?
There is nothing wrong going to court to seek fair redress. Why should we fear going to court while the club was robbed by decisions which are not justified?
The club can take the matter to Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) recognized by FIFA so deduction of points is common with match fixing.
Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) is an international quasi-judicial body established to settle disputes related to sport through arbitration. http://www.tas-cas.org/en/media/latest-news.html
@Jamigori , that one has been ruled out to be more expensive for us. Imagine if we are asked to deposit like 1 million dollars do we built a stadium or appeal for a title that we can invest a win again next year? Is it a matter of life and death. we stayed for years before winning then we won three years on a trot.
How about educating our fans that hooliganism has its effects. Now that we want justice if only we were patient enough and follow the right procedure then. Remember even the Top 8 game our fans misbehaved.
Unless we realize that laws are there to be followed we will still ‘harm’ our club as fans. And I believe we still have the will and strength and resources to win next year. Tuwache emotions.
Now we can accept the Mapinduzi cup invite and start planning early
We are heading towards a common cycle again;We are Or might loose some good players add some who will flop or rise above occasion. By the time the team has jelled; it will be June;and the good will leave
First of all, in a sportsmanship gesture, let me congratulate Tusker FC for being 2016 SPL champions, fact that it is painful notwithstanding.
Secondly I beg to disagree with the notion that the deduction of points from our club was not justified. I also beg to disagree with the notion that we were deducted points because one Mr.Mwendwa hates Gor Mahia. Nothing can be further from the truth. First, let me explain my point on Mr.Mwendwa.
The last time I checked, IDCC stood for; “INDEPENDENT Disciplinary and Complaints Commitee”. I have emphasised the word INDEPENDENT for obvious reasons. Now, IDCC is chaired by one Prof. Migai Akech. The other members are named Dr. Elijah Gitonga, Ms. Njeri Onyango, Ms. Peninah Wahome and a Mr. William Odeny. In the case that was brought before IDCC on the matter of the match between Tusker and Gor Mahia, the complainant was neither Mr. Mwendwa nor FKF but KPL represented by Jack Oguda, the C.E.O, assisted by one Amimo Akong’a. I therefore do not see how Mr. Mwendwa could have influenced the case. Unless someone wants to tell me that he dished out envelopes to these guys. Now I do not know Mr. Mwendwa and I am a true fan of Kogalo. I am just trying to set the facts straight here.bLet’s not blame people for things they are not responsible for.
Much as it is painful, I feel that the deduction of the points was justified, and actually cost the club the league. May be many of us don’t have the facts about that case and on what basis the ruling was done. Here is a summary.
Before the match, a meeting was held between Gor Mahia, Tusker, the stadium management and the police. Apparently there are two gates that give entry into the pitch. One is to be used by the home team and the other to be used by the away team. It was supposedly agreed in that meeting that each team man the gate they shall use. Now, sufficient evidence was given in the hearing that the intruder who assaulted the second referee gained entry into the pitch through the gate that was manned by Gor Mahia, and that, most disturbing, he was actually allowed in by our very own stewards who also allowed him to escape through the very gate after accomplishing his mission. So,yes, Tusker was the home team and were responsible for overall security but the threat on the second referee’s life came from our gate.Our stewards actually aide it! No wonder no one gave chase to the attacker as he was running towards the referee. I remember asking myself aloud that time “WTF are the stewards?”
Arguing that we should not have been docked because Efusi were not docked does not hold any water.If you stole someone’s chicken and were caught and another thief stole another person’s chicken and was not caught, can you argue that you should not be punished because the other thief was not punished? Also AFC’ s management came out and publicly denounced the behaviour of its fans,named the perpetrator and banned him frm attending future matches. Perhaps IDCC reasoned that Efusi were at least doing something about it. What did we do on our side? Nothing. Our management went mum, and us fans on the overdrive trying to defend our actions. When Sportspesa threatened to withdraw their sponsorship, our management said on media they were not aware of such a threat. We fans called Sportspesa Sportschietha and openly told them to shove their sponsorship money into their a**, completely ignoring the welfare of our players. If this is not hooliganism tell me what it is.
So I conclude by submitting that hooliganism is real in Kogalo. Let’s all speak against it. Let our management take more serious measures to at least minimise it if not end it. As for this season, Tusker are the champions. Let us not waste time and resources seeking an international appeal. Its not a matter of life and death. Instead we take stock of where the rain started beating us, correct our mistakes and come back a formidable side in 2017.

Very convincing, BUT if you find out on the night you were robbed your watchman was actually not on duty but rather had a friend cover for him,who when he saw the thieves hid,did nothing prevent the robbery or raise alarm.Infact he took off. Who is guilty the watchman (abdication of duty) or his friend? Do you know the guy with a blue bottom is GMT Otieno, if he is there, where are the official security or is also attacking the official. Wacheni court idecide kama EC didn’t/can’t defend GMFC why stop fans from trying.
@Marto. Stop throwing perhapses here and give us a reasoned argument. That ruling you point us to is flawed so dont send me to read it. That is why the justice system has the instrument of appeal at many levels as possible. Exactly because even the creators of the law expected unfair and flawed rulings and provided avenues for redress.
@Marto Original If that decision flawless, then more points will be docked next season. Let’s prepare for that.
@ Marto Original (With All Protocols Observed),No amount of attachments,explanations or wateva can make a biased,partisan and unfair ruling anything but flawed.Football Cases universally are decided on Precedent based on past case law,so tell me which one did KPL or IDCC use to reach docking points based on a match that resumed and was played to completion and that Gor eventually lost and had no advantage from the unfortunate happenings by the hooligan?Still to say AFC were spared based on issuing a statement against the hooligans who assaulted Matasi and saying they were banned is Neither here nor there.Coach Francis Kimanzi caused a 20 Minute stoppage on Sunday in there match against Sofapaka,why hasn’t Kpl, Jack Oguda,GMT Ottieno or Mwendwa and Sportpesa issued a statement against the same and summoned Mathare to show cause why action should not be taken while the above was swiftly done when Sandro Fantoni had an outburst ay Nyayo?What am saying and will reiterate is that football hooliganism is not a preserve of Kogalo but a worldwide phenomenon so we are not Unique in any way N should not be unfairly targeted by actions that cost the team unfairly.No One supports hoolioganism but snc it’s an unavoidable evil bedevilling soccer we must shun it but not at the expense of exposing our beloved team to useless sanctions based on frivolous actions of drunkards who we neither have the time, resources or instruments to identify, apprehend, prosecute and rehabilitate…It is Akin to saying GM bans fans and becomes an institutionalized club like tusker which will Never happen either…
Why are some on overdrive(AR,Ngala,DO ETC) against going to court? You can’t the use threat of CAF/FIFA to treat one club unfairly for we’ll revert to our courts which by the way hold sway in Kenya. Its like there is a school of thought that is against GMFC grabbing maximum trophies, last year the GoTv was sabotaged,this year they want to hear nothing about seeking redress about the 3 points.The guy in blue jeans is GMT Otieno, KPL security chief,the one in green is not attacking the official, how do you conclude that the guy attacking the ref is a GM fan, as per that picture where is the security provided by brewkenge the home team to DEAL WITH A SINGLE HOOLIGAN UNLESS TUSKER SENT HIM! Naysayers give us a break, let the court decide,then we take from there. CAF deadline has lapsed so your final year of “looting” GMFC is secure. PLEASE DON’T LET GO OF THE COURT OPTION BECAUSE THEY WILL DO THIS NONSENSE AGAIN IN 2017,2018 ETC
Ojwang Moses you are partially right ! Why ? Because fans require a proactive leadership that comes up with the right tools of management: 1) voluntary membership with incentives such as reserved seats during matches 2) provision of uniquely emblazoned club paraphanelia depending on level of membership is gold,silver or bronze 3) family promotions for club members is subsidized evening parties, afternoon parties for kids with current and former players in attendance 5) marking of seats at nyayo or city stadia and linkage with tickets to improve revenue and promote accountability.7) quarterly or half yearly financial reports etc 8) declaration of personal wealth by all office bearers 9) recriuitment of marshalls and installation of cctvs 10) investments and savings 11) streamline club merchandising of products etc These and other incentives would go along way in improving the clubs activities and incentives
GULF OLYMPIC RANGERS? Kweli its a relief that at those trying times Mighty Gor Mahia was led by real “Gor Damu” officials who would not throw in the towel, little wonder we conquered CAF and ruled CECAFA. LET THE COURT DECIDE! KUDOS TO THOSE TRUE FANS.
Maji yakimwagika, hayazoleki. Lakini Mwendwa asituzoe sana. Otherwise Gor fans have been very disciplined save for that one incidence. Lakini huyo mtu hata mimi ningepata nafasi, ningeweka ningemgonga kwa hiyo mguu mpaka awe kilema wa ukweli. A useless limping linesmam. Otherwise wacheni kujidanganya hapa. Gor had numerous opportunity in which they could have taken a sizable lead but it wasreduced to Draw Mahia,
I have noted your points @Musymo and @Jasego and appreciate your reasoning. I have no doubt myself that we have haters who wouldn’t want kogallo to rule. That’s exactly my point. we shouldn’t give them reasons to hurt us. If we are agreaved in a match there are other ways of expressing that. Assuming (My apoligies for the assumption) that we are from the same tribe, then you woud understand this saying; “kwer ogwang’ owe mako gweno to kwer gweno be owe bayo ebungu”. So as we stand up to those against us, we should also use equal energy to clear the perception that we are hooligans.
@Marto, I am humbled by your diplomatic response. Jakom, most Gor fans are not hooligans but if you have ever patronized Rassia then you will know that any day Gor fans will deem a decision to be HEAVILY unfair, they will cause chaos regardless of the consequences, and the Gor EC, FKF and seems the police too will never be able to stop it. Even if we speak against it, educate the masses, arrest a few goons(quite a number have been arraigned n court, one Boaz from Kibera had a six month sentence handed last year but it has never deterred anything), you will agree with me that next season and Gor is playing say Tusker or AFC and either is awarded a penalty that most fans view as harsh or a Gor player is red carded (unfairly in their opinion) while we are trailing, chances of a fracas breaking out are almost assured. I will never condone hooliganism as it hurts the club most but I am very clueless how it can be stamped out. Any ideas?
@Marto Original, I couldn’t agree you with you more. Hooliganism is our greatest weakness. Guys, what if Ingwe was deducted those points we are talking about would they have been added to our tally? No.
Even f we were to go to court 100% chances is that we would be told that there are laid down procedures and/or institutions to deal with soccer matters. Yesterday KPL and FKF were instructed to dialogue o the league composition.
If it means deducting us points until the very many of us who really love the club deal with the handful of our brothers/sisters who mess the club then we have lessons to learn. By the way 99.9% of or fans are peace-loving. The problem s that the majority let this minority mess up our great club. I remember those days when if you threw any object into the field the fans will deal with you squarely or carry you to the police van.
And by the way what if we go to court get back our three points but not beat Tusker how will it have helped? Let’s beat Tusker then decide on that.
And by the way if we mess up the last game we can still get points deducted to run till next league. If there is such a rule.
And guys, by the way Mwendwa doesn’t have to like us for us to win. He is not a ref or linesman to affect our performance. Let’s go out there win squarely. There was a time Kenyan boxers were being told to knockout their opponents so that they don’t give the judges room for hunky punky stuff
Eeh Dan Original,this is really taking how we keep missing each other’s points but again i shall try explain.Dan it is not the preserve of any Gor fan to arrest another and take to police vans for apprehension and processing.That is the Sole responsibility of one GMT Ottieno the KPL Head of Security & Technical Committee.Ofcourse with the help of the FkF who oversee all matters Football,the two should ensure adequate security is provided for everyone’s safety in the Stadium on match day.Club Stewards are a necessary addition to complement the security forces esp when a club has many fans since they can man and intermingle with fans like is the case in UK.Now when all these above measures fail and individually aggrieved persons take matters into their own hands as was the case,the police should have just whisked him away and prosecuted him as an individual OFCOURSE-for i don’t remember any Gor Official or otherwise telling him to go protect our interests by assaulting the Ref.Neither did majority peace loving fans interfere with his apprehension such that the club should suffer for his actions.Finally docking of points is not procedural for stoppages that are contained and matches played to conclusion.Is Gor unique to attract a penalty that even Harambee Stars vs Guinea Bissau match didn’t attract despite disciplinary measures having been meted out by None other than CAF?Why dock points for a matter that requires Fines or Playing in Empty Stadia?It was wrong and uncalled for and Must be castigated so that it doesn’t happen again,taking that Hooliganism is not going anywea soon and our wishing it’s end must not Touch the team performance Ever Again in Future.The two must be distinct i.e actions of drunk/inebriated hooligans cannot be used to deduct hard earned points secured in a fair game of football ever again.Even Ze Maria concurs and says he has witnessed football hooliganism in many countries as a player and coach and never did he see points being docked,actually he never knew such a penalty existed(And It Doesn’t)till he saw it here in Kenya implemented against GM.Docking is for systematic illegalities related to match-Fixing Period like the case of Juventus so that illegal clause Must be expunged from FkF By-laws enacted by Nick Mwendwa in bad faith knowing very well Only Two Teams in Kenya with a Fan Base worth talking about would be Victims…If We get it expunged while in court,we will have won even if we still lose our points this season
@Ja’Asego thank you. We are reading from the same page. Well said.
Congrats Trump
We lost the race during the mid season with questionable signings that made no impact while our rivals signed smart hence bench power. The rest ni sideshows. The match against tusker was played 90min,blame it on inconsistent IDAC(not that I support hooligans) .lets not catch feelings With NM coz he defeated AR
we can blame the fans but also fkf. afc and were deducted points bcos of fans violence. we can accept that. wot then happened when afc leopards fans rioted, invaded the pitch and beat posta rangers player matasi. they were fined. why were they not deducted points. that is applying double standards. the first incidence they were helping tusker to win the league. in the second they were helping afc to avoid relegation.
This pure ujaluo, why be too emotional not to thin to the extent of physically assaulting a match official!
Luos do not reason past their emotions.
