In his defense, the ex-Supersport pundit accused accused match officials of questionable decisions which has hurt his team lately.
“We’ve been denied genuine goals and had genuine penalty appeals ignored, officiating has been a problem in this league especially when we play away from home, this is something that has to be sorted in this championship to provide a fair playing ground,” Selebwa said.
