"The decision from the tribunal has vindicated me, that I was truly dismissed wrongly. It is good that AFC Leopards know they need to deal professionally. I will put all the bad things behind and try to remember the positives including the fans who are great but suffering because of the management,"

"I can't say it was bad for us to go there because it is important for learning and have a good test of ourselves. I think it was a very good opportunity for us especially in the second half when we fielded players who have not played enough," "A player like Paul Kiongera played 60 minutes, we also had Tololwa (Andrew) playing 30 minutes and it was great to see them pick up after injuries"
