For a long time we have been preaching this ‘we want to professionalise football in Botswana’, but we cannot make basic decisions that could help us towards that. Time and time again, the people who we have entrusted with positions, so that they make the right decisions for our football fail us dismally. In most cases they tend to make decisions that do more harm than good to our football. They tend to make decisions that break rather than build. This polarises the football community.
This applies across all spheres and levels of our Football, from the clubs through to the Football Association. And don’t mistake me to say all decisions are wrong. Yes, I might not agree with some decisions, and that does not necessarily mean that they are bad decisions, but the fact of the matter is that in most cases, our football administrators tend to do more harm than good. If almost everyone complains or has murmurs about a decision, then that is a clear sign that some application and a ‘for the good of the game’ decision was not done.
