Rulani Not Happy With Downs Star & Referee

Rulani Not Happy With Downs Star & Referee

Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Rulani Mokwena was not happy with his players and the referees dropping points against Orlando Pirates.

The Brazilians have registered three successive draws in the DStv Premiership after being held to a 1-1 draw against the Buccaneers, who finished the game with ten men.

Mokwena felt his side lacked a lot of fluidity on the night but insisted that cannot be used an excuse all the time.

"Lacking (fluidity) but there's a lot of reasons for that, the first game after a long break, rotations but we can't keep on making that as an excuse you know," Mokwena said on SuperSport TV.

"I don't like the game today, it's not a game of football and first time I don't like my team, not at all and of course for a game of football you need three good teams.

"I don't like my team today, I don't think the referees were good today and I never complain about referees but I don't think they were good today. I think Pirates put up a fight, so ja.

"But where's the level of consistency, I mean, okay let me leave it, I'm not happy with today, so the less I say the better because then I'm gonna get myself into big trouble."

When asked if there were any positives about the draw, Mokwena added, "It would be very difficult (to find positives) because I'd be clutching at straws. But okay I think Divine was good, it was good to see him play, Mosa was good but not too happy at all.

"And it starts with me you know, if I'm not happy with my team I look at myself in the mirror, so I've got to start with myself," he added.
