Refereeing controversies in League and MTN8

Our colleagues from SABC Sport talking about some refereeing decisions from the league and the MTN8. There were questions on whether Ronwen Williams should have been given a red card in the Sundowns and Pirates encounter. Former referee Ace Ncobo believes that he should have whilst SABC's Victor Hlungewani disagrees.

Let's have a look at that penalty incident in the MTN8 Semifinal second leg between Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs over the weekend. Last night Soccerzone's refereeing expert Victor "The Principal" Hlungwani looked at the incident with our colleagues from Soccerzone and came to this conclusion.

Chiefs did well on this game also improving on combination play well done ntseki and your team

[vummiendiweni]

As a pirates fan, that was a very clear penalty. No need to even discuss it further.

[segalekgomo]

nowadays we are not scared of mamelodi sundowns, we are scared of the Referee

[HarmonyLovePeace]

Without VAR teams will continue winning trophies they don't deserve

[salemanetikiso]

I am a pirates fan. People are tired of Sundowns wins and they are now becoming jealous. It is normal that when you are at the top everyone want to pull you down

[ledwabachris]

We benefited. We are happy, We are in the Final & we want this 5 times in row.

This thing is very serious and it is denting the image of South African football, week in and week out we are expiriencing poor offiating, the sad part is that 1 team is benefiting from this injustice, these Referees are doing this deliberately and it s killing our football. We love this game and it hurts us when our teams are subjected to this cruelty. Controversy after controversy. Serious intervention is needed and it is urgent, Aboo Buyile Gqubule, Victor Gomes noo Abdul Ebrahim must help us by identifying talent because this current crop imoshakele kakhulu.

PSL and MTN 8 must ordered rematch between chiefs and Sundowns

[isaiahmasekoameng]

Lets stop ds penalty noise...it was clear penalty and as a khosi fan we benefited a lot b4 n now we have lost painfully like those who were crying so lets move on khosi...hardluck boys

[EFFUnionBuilding]

You can’t shield the ball that’s not yours…he didn’t go for the ball. He went to block the guy with the ball

[X-ManGuy]

😂😂😂😂 I heard rumours that mdantsane is still rolling him self on the 18area box waiting for SAFA to award him a penalty. "REST KHOSI REST!!"

[mphomangole]

Why don't they verify that with the TV replay right at the stadium

[nomzinomzi]

Kaizer chiefs have been benefiting all this years and you were quite about that we don't care PSL is not about Kaizer chiefs

[patphathisani]

If so then can we go back to 1998 on ROTHMANS CUP we felt the same way its worse that a cup final. What goes around comes around

[rmanne]

Motsepe money is mesmerising referees.

[JamesBond-ifho]

I'm happy this man has retired as a referee. He contradicts himself. Mdantsane deliberately sticks his foot on an oncoming boot and cries foul when he gets kicked. That ref was hardly fooled.

[ThokozaniMadela-gq]

It seems like everyone is worried about Chiefs nkosyami 😢

[jetflood]

no penalty maseko was first man, chiefs forced to jump and block maseko he was alredy on ball controlling

[mahaseseleso]

Why should chiefs issues be made into a big talking point?

[Tashreeq-pp]

SABC must look for soccer analysis please guys.
