Mosimane calls for experienced referees  

Mosimane once again commented about the standard of refereeing in the Premiership after his side’s clash against SuperSport United over the weekend.

“It’s very difficult for the coaches. There are eight games left and we are all fighting for our own survival. It’s important to have experienced officials. I am not talking about the (SuperSport) goal. I am talking about match management,” Mosimane was quoted by The Star.

“The one we had (Eugene Mdluli, in the Tshwane derby) is a younger one. And if he keeps going like this he can handle big games like this. There is something there,” Mosimane said.

“You must understand that coaches have the pressure at this point and emotions, tempers are high. It is because of the scoreboard and the log table – nothing else. We need a little bit of experience to manage the game, but if you don’t give the young referees and linesmen these kinds of games how will they get the experience? They have to get games like these.”
