Reactions as Kaizer Chiefs sign ex-Pirates stars
Edo said:
"Opinions from most Twitter supporters don't really matter. And must just be ignored. Most of them know nothing about football, and also the history of KC. Arguing with Sundowns and Pirates supporters at tarvens is just an entertainment to them. Let us just ignore them."
