CAPS Utd PSL’s most Ill-disciplined team
disciplinary fines which amounted to 450 points.
The outgoing league champions were fined $2 000 and found guilty of causing the abandonment of their Chibuku Super Cup quarter-final match against Shabanie Mine at Maglas on October 8 when assistant referee, Thomas Kusosa, was struck by a missile from the bay housing the CAPS United supporters, with the official being injured in the process.
CAPS United were also not any better on the field of play where they raked the highest number of yellow cards after their players were cautioned joint 54 times in 34 games.
Makepekepe also appear to have paid dearly for the sins of their coach Chitembwe who on countless times refused to grant post match interviews to the media against the league regulations.
According to the PSL Standing Orders 12: Offences and Fines; “For failure or refusal to conduct a pre-match or postmatch interviews by the head coach, captain or player, a fine of $125 will be imposed on the offending head coach, captain and player. The club will be fined $500.”
CAPS United’s bitter rivals Dynamos and Highlanders had their coaches regularly attending the post-match interviews but they were undone by the violent behaviour of their supporters apart from the cautions and the disciplinary fines. Bosso got the most disciplinary fines. Chicken Inn suffered heavily for the $2 500 fine that was imposed on their coach Rahman Gumbo for causing the abandonment of the Chibuku Super Cup match against newboys Yadah.
