Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Silver Strikers\u2019 outspoken head coach Pieter de Jongh took a swipe at center referee Davie Chombo by accusing him of robbing his team of valuable two points during a goalless draw against Chitipa United at Civo Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The furious Dutchman was seen charging towards the referee after the final whistle, and he had to be stopped by Silver\u2019 security team that arrived on time to avoid collateral damage.<\/p>\n

During the post-match interview, an angry De Jongh had no kind words for Chombo and his entire officiating team, saying Malawian football needs fair play.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope that the media will report what\u2019s happening. We need fair play in Malawi\u2019s football. Everyone could see this game, especially in the first half, that it had no cards. The referee refused to give our opponents cards. This referee stole two points from me and my team. He didn\u2019t also add extra minutes to the match.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe made changes including the opponents in the second half but zero extra minutes. How possible? Shame for the football in Malawi. Big shame,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

When the reporter asked him about how frustrating it was, the \u2018Champ\u2019 simply said: \u201cWhat sort of questioning is this? You ask me stupid questions when the referee has no cards in a game where he was supposed to issue cards. It\u2019s a stupid question, and I don\u2019t want to hear,\u201d he rattled at the reporter whilst walking away.<\/p>\n

On several occasions, De Jongh been accusing the Super League of Malawi of favoring FCB Nyasa Big Bullets through \u201cunfair fixture arrangement\u201d yet the defending champions have played more away games in the first round.<\/p>\n

The draw saw the Central Bankers failing to capitalize on Bullets\u2019 second successive draw as they maintained a three-point gap going into the Hollywood Bet Cosafa break. The Cosafa Cup is slated for next week in South Africa.<\/p>\n

The Bankers are top of the table with 25 points, three above Bullets with eleven games played each.<\/p>\n
