Highlands Park coach Da Gama wants linesman to be jailed after Orlando Pirates defeat

Highlands Park coach Owen Da Gama has launched a scathing attack aimed at one of the assistant referees for not flagging offside to Orlando Pirates’ goal in his side's 1-0 Premier Soccer League (PSL) loss on Tuesday.

Tshegofatso Mabasa grabbed a late winner to condemn Highlands Park to defeat but Da Gama is convinced the goal was scored from an offside position and should not have stood.

An infuriated Da Gama feels the linesman who failed to spot the offside should be sent to jail for what he feels was a transgression that could be to the detriment of South African football.
