Head coach of Sunshine Stars, Duke Udi has faulted poor officiating for his side’s 2-1 loss to Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries (MFM FC) in the Nigeria Professional Football League matchday 26 encouter decided at the Agege Stadium on Wednesday.
The former Osun United coach who was angered by the display of the officials threatened to follow in the footstep of his predecessor Austin Eguavoen, who resigned from the position, citing poor officiating in the league.
“I beg to be corrected if this is the way football is being played; if this is the way referees officiate then someone like me should just resign.
“If someone like Austin Eguavoen can resign because of officiating, then I should too.
“Officiating should be 50-50, let our football grow. I don’t care if you are beating me at home, just let the better team win. It’s not fair when you favour a team against the other team.
“When we were playing football, football was played with talent. Take for example the Premier League, teams go away to win but that won’t happen here.
“If this is the way officiating looks like here then I should just resign. Can you imagine you do so much work for a week from Sunday to Monday then someone will just come from nowhere and thwart your effort and that of the players? It’s so unfortunate. Officiating should be free and fair,” the former Nigeria international said.
