It's about time football authorities rethink their strategy of dealing with poor refereeing, rather than trying to silence those who dare speak about it.
Over the years, the PSL's disciplinary committee has been handing out heavy fines and match suspensions, especially to coaches who have voiced their frustration with the men in the middle. It was no different this week.
Platinum Stars coach Roger de Sa felt referee Victor Gomes could have done better in their 2-1 loss to Maritzburg United at Harry Gwala Stadium on February 23.
He was charged with misconduct arising from an altercation with Gomes while questioning some of his decisions, as well as for a post-match interview conducted while he was suspended.
Both the club as well as De Sa were found guilty. The club was fined R200000, of which R100000 was suspended for 24 months.
