Laws Of The Game Are Being Reinvented, Highlanders Respond To US$6 000 Fine And Pending Disciplinary Hearing

Highlanders Executive Chairman Kenneth Mhlophe has acknowledged that the club is currently facing challenging times and has urged supporters to remain calm and refrain from acts of violence.

The team was fined US$6,000 following crowd disturbances during their Chibuku Super Cup quarter-final clash against Simba Bhora last weekend, which also resulted in a similar fine for Simba.

Highlanders have also been summoned by the Premier Soccer League (PSL) to appear before its Ad Hoc Committee to answer to allegations of breaching the Chibuku Super Cup Rules and Regulations.

The situation escalated when Highlanders players and technical staff walked off the pitch in protest after the referee awarded a penalty to Simba Bhora in the second half, leading to the abandonment of the match.

In a statement issued on Saturday, September 28, Mhlophe criticised football authorities for “reinventing” the laws of the game to influence match outcomes. Said Mhlophe:

We are going through a challenging time as a club at the moment. The situation is untenable. Laws of the game are being reinvented to decide the outcomes of professional matches.
In the face of all this, let us choose higher ground. Highlanders FC asks you to remain calm as we wade through all this.
We call upon all our supporters and football-loving members to maintain peace and to refrain from violence, verbally or physically. Let us stand together.

The sponsor's brand has to be protected by not dragging their name in the mud through violence and abandoning matches because you are not happy with the referees decision. The law says the referees decision is FINAL. Clubs know the correct way to present their grievances if they are not happy with the handling of the matches.We have never seen professional clubs e.g in the English Premier league walking out of the pitch because of a referees decision because they respect rules. Highlanders should fine their own players and coaches and management to raise the $6000 so that they will remember their responsibilities when they represent the club. RESPECT RULES

PSL bosses are totally drunk. From videos that were played there was no penalty kick to talk about. Having pocketed 6000 from. They should just have a replay at a different venue

Mature words from Highlanders. How you respond in times of provocation defines you. Big up!

Our brand of soccer is not marketable with this kind of mafia referreing and the league itself is run on mafia lines where the right are penalised and the guilty rewarded. Cry the beloved game.
