Rarely will you see a coach who has won a game complain about officiating. Clubs should desist from blaming referees for their failures, ” he said.” The problem with most of the coaches is they haven’t realized that the league is getting competitive and find it hard to accept the outcome of results whenever they lose, ” he added.Beleaguered FIFA referee pleads innocent amid suspect officiating claims leveled against herKasuve who has also been called out for allegedly sabotaging the government installed committee revealed that the committee normally meets twice a week to peruse reports from referees and analyse videos.Are the whistle-blowers innocent? https://t.co/i9MEZ4qQZU— Mozzart Sport Kenya (@MozzartSportKe) April 15, 2022 He said the video analysis and reports had not unearthed gross mistakes as alleged by the aggrieved clubs and called for fair criticism.”The committee meets twice a week to go through the reports and videos.
