Visibly frustrated, Kitara Football Club head coach Brian Ssenyondo went sarcastic on the match officials as his team lost 2-1 to Vipers SC on Thursday at the St Mary's Stadium, Kitende.
The tactician thought his team had snatched a point at the death when Dudu Ramadhan headed in a Living Kabon freekick, but it was called for offside by assistant referee Juma Osire.
And in the post-match press conference, Ssenyondo who had initially desisted from commenting about the referees, was later forced into a 'tactical' jibe.
"I don't comment on referees, they are the referees and they decide the game," the tactician initially stated before later conceding after being pressed.
"For us we have to play to score goals, the referees count or cancel the goals, so the referees decided that the goal should not stand."
