UGANDA PREMIER LEAGUE Referees for crunch Vipers-BUL, Villa-KCCA ties named
Local football custodian FUFA has confirmed the experienced referee Mashood Ssali will be in charge of the bout between first and second (Vipers) at the St Mary's Stadium, Kitende, on Friday.
Speaking on Sky Sports’ Ref Watch, former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher gave his verdict on the decision and believes that Oliver made the right call.
“I think it was the right decision to send him off,” Gallagher said. “Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s a good look from Dalot, it’s not the image we want fans to remember from the game."
“Whether you like it or not that’s the remit that the referees have been given for dissent, hence why there are so many yellow cards given for dissent this season," he added.
