Kaizer Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter has denied apologising for refereeing decisions to Orlando Pirates coach Fadlu Davids in his post-match comments, including the late penalty that saw Keagan Dolly strike the 92nd minute winning goal in Saturday’s Soweto derby at FNB Stadium.
Baxter though, in his briefing, said Davids had taken his comments out of context and was adamant he had not apologised for any of referee Victor Hlungwani’s decisions, including the added time penalty awarded when Bucs centre-back Olisa Ndah slung an arm round the neck of Chiefs’ Khama Billiat. “But I did say that decisions go for you, they don’t go for you, ‘but well done on a good performance’. And I said, ‘Yeah, Fadlu, you and Mandla [Ncikazi] are doing a good job’. That was our conversation.
“And I thought it was clumsy, but that’s the sort of thing that happens when you’ve just scored a goal, the adrenaline is pumping, and the opposing team puts you under pressure, and in that period of time you’re a bit tired and you make a bad decision.
