The conversation regarding the Goalgate scandal has gone cold – for now!
No Bones with Jones has however reliably learnt that this matter will resurface on Safa Cape Town’s agenda within the coming weeks.
The region’s DC has already started its inquiry but it is yet to conclude the case.
It is also no secret that that region has been preoccupied with several other matters – this coupled with the fact that the “main role players” handling the case were also not available to reconvene.
“This case should be back on the table in the near future,” a source told No Bones with Jones.
“I think all the very important people in the matter will be available soon and then the matter can hopefully be resolved with an outcome,” the source added.
This development pertains to the probe of the freakish score lines when 58 goals were scored in two matches in Group H, dubbed as the “Group of Death” which included Rebels FC, Two For Joy, West Coast, Electric City and Diadora FC.
Things started to get interesting in the last group matches when Two For Joy and Diadora were both deadlocked on seven points but the former had a superior goal difference.
Two for Joy had to beat West Coast and Diadora needed to replicate that against Electric City.
The eyebrows were raised in the second half of Diadora and Two for Joy’s respective matches when it was raining goals in both matches which had the tongues wagging.
In the end, Diadora FC topped the group with a 35-1 scoreline and progressed to the quarterfinals on a goal difference of +38, while Two For Joy had +36 following their 22-0 win.
