Mweemba, a top referee, said on many occasions fans dispute referee\u2019s decisions because they do not understand laws governing the game. The Kamfinsa based referee said fans should know that laws of the game are regularly updated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important for soccer fans to update themselves with the laws of the game. Some soccer fans really do not understand what it is really to be a referee and to make a decision in a split of a second. You are a police officer, a prosecutor and judge at the same time,\u201d Mweemba said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLaws of the game keep on changing, there are many changes regarding offside and other game situation. Just last week FIFA approved that there will be new technology of penalizing offside at the World Cup so that tells you something,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mweemba, however, admitted that some times referees make mistakes that shouldn\u2019t be seen as biasness. \u201cMistakes are there as a referee but it\u2019s not what fans think like favouring. A referee just make technical mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen a referee makes a mistake it is not deliberate it is just a technical mistake as a human being. We are human,\u201d Mweemba said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zambia\">Zambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zambia.
