Britz demands more from players
Shipanga questions ref's decisions
Tigers FC and Blue Waters played to a fierce 1-1 draw in the Debmarine Namibia Premiership on Saturday.
Tigers Football Club coach James Britz has demanded more from his players after a 1-1 draw against Blue Waters on Saturday. Tigers led in the first half at the Khomasdal Stadium, but Blue Waters fought back in the second half to grab an equaliser.
This sloppy play angered the coach in a match they should have taken full advantage of.
“To be honest, the players did not play well at all against Blue Waters and I am not happy about it.
“We started the match well but we eventually surrendered position and they were not just listening to the instructions.
“We will work on whatever is missing because we want to go as high as possible on the table,” he said.
'Clear mistakes'
Both Britz and Blue Waters coach Lucky Shipanga expressed dismay with the level of officiating, with Tigers calling a penalty against them "soft".
Blue Waters, on the other hand, felt they should have been ahead after their second half goal was disallowed due to a possible offside.
Shipanga was, however, not too disappointed by the fact that his side soldiered back to give themselves a chance.
“I am not entirely happy with the result, but will take the point because we came from behind.
“I do not know about some of the decisions the referees made, though; because there are some clear mistakes in them.
“It is disappointing that such decisions went against us, but I was pleased with how we fought back in the game away from home,” he said.
