‘Biased referee’ gets Barker hot under the collar

“One must congratulate Chiefs...they seem to be a team that puts teams under a lot of pressure. When you are getting 11, 12 penalties a season [in fact it was Chiefs’ 10th penalty this term]… last six matches three red cards in the first half to the opposition, well done to them. They must be doing something right in creating problems for the opposition,” said Barker.

“I am disappointed in the ref today. If you remember the game, I think they [Chiefs] had maybe double figure free-kicks around the box and Dolly had three or four parts...Mashiane had some parts and Shabalala had some chances to take. I am not denying that some of those free-kicks were free-kicks but I am not sure why we didn’t get any free-kicks in that final third around the box when Iqraam Rayners was being held on many occasions.”
