FKFPL Moses Adagala finds solace in scripture after Muhoroni Youth sanctions
Muhoroni Youth chairman Moses Adagala responds to fines and bans with a faithful social media post amidst ongoing controversies.
"As a coach I’ve never been beaten by three goals in my whole career so I don’t like the feeling," Hall began, his voice thick with frustration. "That was a very, very poor performance."
His scathing analysis did not stop there. "If you can’t pass the ball ten yards towards your players and you don’t win the 50-50s in the headers then you got a big problem. They (Gor Mahia) won all the 50-50s, they won all the headers that mattered, the passing were better than us they were brighter and sharper than us. We were terrible; we were terrible, there is no excuse for that," he continued, with an air of disbelief.

FOOTBALL Kenyan-born talent to make debut in historic Somalia friendlies against Niger, Sierra Leone
Somalia has lined up international friendlies, featuring Kenyan-born defender, ahead of their significant 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign.
However, what really jolted everyone was his explosive analogy: "If we were an electronic thing I think you should say something took the battery out. We shit ourselves, we absolutely shit ourselves, because we couldn’t handle the occasion. We couldn’t handle the first 15 minutes, in the first 15 minutes when we were running like scared rabbits they got on top of the game, physically, mentally, everything.”
This surprising outburst might be attributed to the inexperience in his squad, as the majority of AFC Leopards' lineup had never tasted the intensity of this derby.
