Coach Benni McCarthy has been fined R200,000, with R150,000 suspended, in a PSL disciplinary committee (DC) after calling referee performance shameful.
“It looked like it was a very one-sided affair, with one team. So, I don’t want to be controversial, but come on, our league is precious and we demand for teams to step up their game to make this league what it is. When I come here everybody is going to be like, ‘Ha, he must win games’, this, this, this – critics.
“But come on, how can you accept criticism when you’ve worked during the week on things, and then [undermined] by the officiating? And it causes your team to not even have a fighting chance. There was nothing there. The referee was, honest to God, he was. And all the experience that he has in this league and then that’s the performance he gave. So that was shameful. Nevertheless, I think it was two teams who wanted to win the game, so both teams went for it. But, ja we’ve not lost a game. We had 10 men for most of the game, thanks to the referee. We held them. So the quality is there.”
