A Zimbabwean striker made headlines after reportedly lying about an injury just to spend time with his girlfriend. Tymon Machope, who plays alongside Khama Billiat for Scottland FC, missed his team's recent 1-1 draw against the Highlanders. Medical tests later revealed nothing wrong with him physically. The club has benched him for apparent disciplinary reasons following the incident.

Football fans shared mixed reactions online after the story appeared on Facebook. Some found humor in his actions, saying they understood his motivation. Others criticized him for disrespecting his professional obligations. Balingene Mabuza Ncube wrote that he might have lost cattle because of similar situations. Job Mabureni questioned the accuracy of medical tests, asking what would happen if it was a minor injury.

Some supporters argued that the team hurt itself through harsh punishment. Briayan Mutiwazuka said withdrawing Machope affects team performance since goals become harder without him. Isheanesu Elvis Magumise noted that players with proper academy training behave professionally throughout their careers. Regina Dhungare predicted Machope would remain benched because the team already has many players available.
