As a Pirates fan in the quater-finals we want a winner between Jacksa Spears and Vasco Da Gama – Sphesihle Shandu
Good draw, at least Casric Stars players will experience playing in a sold-out venue in their lifetime. The Rockets at Mbombela will deliver – Mor
Chiefs fans are crying again. They were given Milford, and Milford dealt with them. I don’t understand the reason they are crying – The Masterchef
Amakhosi will be supporting any team playing against Pirates the whole tournament – Xolane Hadebe
All I know is that they are blaming Dr Irvin Khoza for a draw that was live on Television – Siyabonga Mavukela

As long as small teams like Casric stars still advance to the next round, it gives teams like Pirates a chance to win the Nedbank Cup – Abby T Ssmk
A lovely draw for us Buccaneers at least to avoid top-flight teams until the semi or final – Siyamamkela Sya Menie
So who is fooling whom? Defending champions are already out of the tournament for the first game, and they still say they won the Nedbank Cup fairly? – Nthuse
Another easy team for Muthi FC. Why didn’t they get a PSL team? These are cooked fixtures – Goitsimodimo Pholoholo
Of course chairman’s team had to get a Championship side, shameless club – Lesego Z. Flayme
