KPL: Bobby has to win Mashemeji derby, no negotiations

Gor Mahia Coach Bobby Williamson wave to fans during their KPL match against AFC Leopards at Nyayo National Stadium on Sunday 08/06/14.PHOTO.BONIFACE OKENDO

As the country gears to the much publicised Mashemeji Derby this Sunday, Gor Mahia fans are reading the riot act to coach Bobby Williamson; putting pressure on him to win this one thing- the Mashemeji Derby! It is a worrying concern, to these fans, that since coach Bobby took over the team, he has never won this tie.
As one ardent K'Ogalo fan Governor van Doddie recently put it, "As a Gor Mahia coach, you can win all matches and trophies, but without winning the Mashemeji Derby, you are as good as useless."
Having lost two, drawn one and won none of his three Derby matches since coming to Kenya, the tide is building on coach Bobby and only Sunday 5pm will tell if he's adding another defeat or it will be time for him to wear his Scottish traditional kilt in celebration of a win. The fans want a win. They want it so badly. Let Mashemeji Derby come!
