Week 27 of the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) 2022-23 played on Wednesday was another reminder of how competitive the season has been.With seven games to go, the title race is still wide open and could go to the wire, while the battle for survival at the bottom is also getting tighter.Log leaders Gor Mahia expectedly beat FC Talanta 1-2, but without breaking a sweat as they had to rally from behind to pick maximum points. It was the same case at Ruaraka Grounds where hosts and K’Ogalo’s main challengers Tusker FC edged out inconsistent KCB FC 1-0.Once thought to have escaped relegation threat, Mathare United seems to be rolling back the gains they had made and are now feeling pressure from a resurgent Wazito FC. The league needs a broadcasterThis fact can never be understated. We have a strong and competitive league, but most fans cannot watch it. It’s a shame that at a time the title race is getting intriguing and excitement building, fans cannot watch the action on television. Some beautiful goals are being scored, but without a television partner they cannot be celebrated enough. Also to deter cases of poor officiating and match fixing, we need our game on TV. Race for FKFPL title gets tighter as Gor Mahia and Tusker grind wins##NAJAVA_MECA_7208831##KCB FC and Bandari FC are still adding numbers Happy to be around, right? KCB FC and Bandari FC, as one of the most stable clubs in the league, should start challenging for honors and not just adding numbers. Bandari were never competing for the league this, while KCB are effectively out after losing to Tusker FC on Wednesday. Like Zesco United of Zambia, these three corporate clubs have the potential to revolutionize Kenyan football, but it appears they’re just happy to be around.Dear FKF, tame foul mouthIt’s amazing how coaches can say anything on record and go scot-free in the FKFPL. I don’t want to talk about AFC Leopards coach Patrick Aussems any more, I think he’s above the law.On Wednesday it was the turn of FC Talanta coach Ken Kenyatta to make wild allegations which I’m sure he will not be held accountable for. The former Harambee Stars goalkeeper after losing to Gor Mahia, claimed that he won the game, but the referee handed the game to K’Ogalo.
