Chinyemba watched his side fall 2-1 to Gaborone United (GU) in a FNB Premiership thriller played at BPSC Stadium on Friday evening. The defeat saw TAFIC drop two places below to the fourth spot after collecting only five points in their last five games. Chinyemba has, however, said following the Friday evening defeat, he is not worried about the team’s recent slump that saw them be dethroned from the top spot during this five-game period. The tactician said they are not worried but rather calm as they have been facing the top of the table teams.
He said he is confident that his side will get back on their good ride when they face mid to lower table teams later in the campaign. The gaffer’s worry is, however, the level of officiating the top flight league. Chinyemba said though the decisions have heavily affected his side, he sees them as ‘honest mistakes’ and called for proper match officials’ training for local football. “We are not qualified to officiate. We are only coaches but you would feel from the dugout that some decisions are just against us especially when we are playing these so called big teams in Botswana. On any other day, this is a game we should not have lost and as a coach it is not nice to talk about match officials but the powers being in Botswana should look at it. I do not think these referees are making biased decisions but they should be trained properly so we can get the best out of this league.
