Feature: Stop that fool on Supersport called Mamadou Gaye
Posted On Monday, 28th January 2013
Mamadou Gaye has drawn the ire of many football fans in Africa
By Ameenu Shardow, Port Elizabeth
The ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa has divided African football fans along country lines but there is one thing that has overwhelmingly united the entire continent about this tournament.
That is the fact that SuperSport’s ‘analyst’ Mamadou Gaye is a fool who doesn’t deserve to be a teaboy with the South African broadcaster let alone a pundit.
His career as a guru on Supersport has been dominated by bizarre statements and rude bust-ups with the fine and intelligent gentlemen on the African football shows.
Now Gaye struts the street of shame like a peacock on heat convincing himself he is a major player in shaping opinion in African football.
Last week the Ivorian made another repugnant statement that the big African football countries excluding his native Ivory Coast of course are being favoured by CAF because referee are cheating for them to enable them to win the trophy.
Admitted that in this tournament some referees have taken some wrong decisions but that doesn’t mean that CAF has conspired against all the rest of the small countries.
Gaye was referring to big footballing nations like Nigeria, Ghana and Zambia and many others but when he was pressed on why a wrong call was made in favour of the Ivory Coast in the game against Togo he behaved as if it did not happen.
But nothing drives an analyst in football media circles to indignity faster than the promise of a team winning when clearly it is an insurmountable task.
Gaye’s stupidity hit a new low when he went on the floor to do the ‘bum hop’ by DR Congo goalkeeper Kidiaba in fulfillment of a promise of a prediction that went wrong.
It was nice to see the Supersport presenter hurling Gaye head first into the public’s attention and he looked every bit the startled rabbit caught in the headlights. Even a man on his way to the firing squad!
The disgusting views of this depraved Ivorian have spread continent-wide with many calling for Gaye to be axed from the array of respected analysts on the show.
From the astute ex-Nigeria internal Sunday Olisey, to ex-Bafana Bafana star Shaun Bartlett, Ghana’s Sammy Kuffuor and the many other fine pundits on the show, the effusions of Gaye is threatening the quality of the show and the image of the experts in the show.
Many have wondered why the bosses at Supersport are unable to pull the plug on the clown as it will it leave their judgment of employing him in serious doubt.
But Supersport should make no mistake that people have already made their judgments and it is never too late to lock the clown up in his home so he can play the fool nowhere.
If the SuperSport bosses are unwilling to pull the plug on Gaye they must realise that some of their viewers are taking action and their views are very loud and clear on social media especially Twitter.
“Wouldn’t it be a good idea if we cut the power every time Mamadou Gaye starts talking and restored it when he was done?,” Zesco IT asked on Twitter.
Mwimbu Mwimbu Ngoma also on condemned Gaye by comparing him to the noise of the vuvuzela which is disturbing to the ear.
“The noise you’re hearing during the Ivory Coast vs Tunisia game is not the sound of a vuvuzela. Its Mamadou Gaye!,” he wrote.
Another person said: “Serves him right, he is a twerp sometimes LOL RT “@TheGHMediaGuy: Stupid Mamadou Gaye, doing the Kidiaba bum hop!”
Nathan Quao wrote: “Mamadou Gaye right on Dauda should’ve been sent off but mixes wisdom with the usual wayward thinking. Conspiracy my foot!!!
Lexis Bill was sad over the return of Gaye on his telesion forcing him to write: “Mamadou Gaye is back. Crap!”
Bupe Kalumba from Zambia added: “Mamadou Gaye! What an analyst!!! A good Analyst is one who is able to analyse the games with intergrity NOT HATE. ..
Ghana lady Adwoa Yeboah was also angered by Gaye’s comments. She wrote: “Mamadou Gaye u r a bastard to say Ghanaians cheated Mali to get d 3 points n there’s a conspiracy to favour ghana to the top.”
Deji, a Nigerian tweeted Oliseh’s views of Gaye. “Show some respect to Nigeria’ Sunday Oliseh tells Mamadou Gaye. Hilarious!”
Zambian football fan Brian Tembo hit the nail right on the head when he said: “Mamadou Gaye shud wash mouth with soap,” implying that the views from the Ivorian analyst is pure poison.
For Supersport it is a mess of their own making. They have handcuffed themselves to Gaye’s coat-tails by employing him and keeping him there means they are about to throw the key away.

It is unfortunate to term somebody’s father a fool.As much as he sometimes makes derogatory and volatile statements,he is entitled to his opinion.Mamadou Gaye makes his claims according to what he see happen and not from imagination.So lets just allow him the benefit of freedom of speech,listen to him and make constructive description and criticism.If SuperSports doesn’t like this man and his hot remarks as some people term it,they(SuperSport) would have kicked him out long before time.Why do they still invite him for their shows.Have you considered that as well?Come again please.
You are missing the point my friend. The writer of the article might have been emotional but what he has written is what most people feel about Mamadou. There is nothing wrong in calling someone a fool when he is one. That guy does not deserve to be on that pannel. May Supersport get rid of him before he manages to divide us across national lines. The problem in his analysis is that his criticisms are in most cases insulting and lack respect for individual player’s talent. You are asking about why they invite him for their shows? It must be that he forces himself to be on the panel.
Ok…The writer should take it easy. Supersport is selling their channel. Controversy sells.
Very well Bra Kwame.If he made remarks in favour of Ghana,I don’t think the writer would have come up with this write up.Easy Shardow.
mamadou gaye or wateva hes called is more than a fool…hes bigger than a normal fool..in fact hes an advanced fool and am sure God will regret if he ever gave him sense
@Adamu Muftawu: as an analyst in the case of African Football, Gaye should be objective and impartial. This Gaye dude is someone far from football analyst. He is a shallow minded dumb ass who using the chance he has only to cause division and tension….it is people like Gaye that caused the civil war in Ivory Coast. Non of us need any favor from Gaye…what favor? the bastard is getting paid.
may be he is real gay
stupid gay
You are going the wrong well. A number of gay people I have personally met are more sane than that Mamadou chap.
I still think he is a fool. he needs to chill a bit. some of his comments are really inappropriate.
i think the problem with this GAY_E man is inferiority complex. we all know countries like Ghana and Nigeria are power house in african football while cote d’ ivoire are renowned for prostitution and colo music. they can never catch up with us even. they just lucky to have good agents to take their lads to big clubs, we’ve got talents. we can pick a player from the street to a tournament and he will perform…why? because we are a footballing nation
Those who are calling him fool should be carefull because Mamadou Gaye is an interesting man and i love listerning to him,he tells the truth africans hate someone who tells the truth..he is like kofi wayo of ghana lol…
Absolutely spot on Jarule.The truth is bitter but when told, stands out.
whether u like it or not,mamadou gaye is a foooooolllllll…..
what else do you expert from smbody who is coming from a war-thorn country?
Spot on Ameenu Shardow. Answer a fool according to his follies lest he think himself wise. I am an apostle for straight talk. If an individual is exhibiting stupid tendencies and an innate and bizarre desire to be a buffoon, lets not mince words in saying so. Kudos my man. You made my day.
Agreed Ghana people, the dude is a total idiot, period.
COTE D’IVOIRE 2 TOGO 2 .STUPID GAYE!
Why all this emotions,its just football people.Football is about entertainment and the guy is entertaining.Why are we behaving as if our lives depend on it.How I wish a war in Mali could spark this type of reaction.
An old ugly black African man called GAY(e)! Sums the idiot up really……
This guy should mind the way he approaches issues because he is not the only expert on the continent
i simply hate that guy and his controvesial comments, he should be taken from the program. Is he the only sensible guy in Africa? He speaks any how.
Good piece of work Shardowy.Infact tell man Aprek, I say He should make sure u r being taken very good care off
MAYBE AT HOME, HE IS A FINE GENTLEMAN BUT TRUST ME ON SUPERSPORTS, HE IS A BIG FOOL TO ME..HES BEEN DOING THIS FOR SOMETIME NOW AND I BELIEVE THIS ARTICLE JUST CAME AT THE RIGHT TIME..BRAVO AMEENU
Mamodou is a big fat ass who pretends to be a soccer analyst while he is a rebel who is good at actual war stupid ass. Look at and listen to analysts like Sunday Olisseh very objective and factual spare as the big fart
Mamadou Gaye is very un fair , i was waiting for him to comment on Didier Drogba’s free kick which they gave him. Isn’t its the same mistake which the referee who was officiating Zambia vs Nigeria made. Why wasn’t the referee who gave Didier Drogda sent back? Is it because Zambia is hated the most. People could u please look into this. To Super sport!!!
DSTV subscribers deserve respect – clearly Mamadou does not respect either supersport, viewers or football itself.
I am sure Ivory Coast has dignified football analysts – Mamadou hatred is the source of his country’s bad luck in soccer!
