Pirates fans turn to humour to mop up tears
The 2017 decider between SuperSport United and Orlando Pirates at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Saturday ended up being a 4-1 thrashing of the Bucs‚ to the dismay of its legions of fans.
Only laughter can bring an end to tears‚ so here is a selection of comments we hope can bring a smile this morning:
Pirates came to Durban 4 -1 reason - to see the sea
