Gabadinho Mhango in spitting controversy

Malawi international striker Gabadinho Mhango faces disciplinary action by his coach at Bidvest Wits  of South Africa Absa Premiership after  he allegedly spitted in the face of AmaZulu goalscorer, Michael Morton, during a scuffle in the second half the game, with the midfielder retaliating in a way that saw him sent off by the referee.

Gabadinho Mhango struggled to hold back his frustration when he spat at Michael Morton, who was sent off for his reaction to the disgusting incident

The Malawian spat in the face of Morton on Wednesday during encounter in the Absa Premiership.

Morton was sent off in the game for retaliating against Mhango after being spat at, although the Malawian striker f stayed on the field escaping punishment completely.

Bidvest coach  Gavin Hunt told Soccer Laduna that the matter will be dealt with internally once he has seen what actually happened.

“If it’s true what people are saying happened, then we’ll deal with it internally. If it’s the truth, then that’s completely unacceptable,” he said.

The Mhango matter has also  been referred to the PSL prosecutor, who are looking into the matter.

Video replays showed that Mhango had inexplicably spat in Morton’s face which went unpunished by the referee with Amazulu reduced to 10 men with 20 minutes left on the clock.

Mhango, who was already recently involved in an altercation against Golden Arrows should now receive a lengthy ban for what players view as the worst act against an opponent.

  1. “The stigma of what you did will follow you round for the rest of your career. You’ll never live it down” – Gerard Houllier to El Hadji Diouf after he spat at a Celtic fan.
    El Hadji Diouf was shame that turned out to be at Liverpool Football Club (LFC). Initially Diouf was welcomed by fans as a flamboyant figure. Even John Barnes had praise for the player’s dribbling skills. But his anger and spitting habits at opponents as well as fans got the better of him as exemplified in a one all draw against Celtic FC during which he spat at a Celtic fan, causing a crowd disturbance. It marked a watershed in his career.
    The spitting regularly rattled Steve Gerard and Jamie Carragher with the latter even expressing doubts over Diouf’s character on the word go. As his bad habits on the pitch continued, he earned the name of a troublemaker. At one time he was fined £ 5 000 for spitting at supporters and a two match ban from Europe.
    During training he would be the last to be picked by fellow players in a five-side-training. The bench beckoned him thereby underlining his early relegation to the periphery of the squad.
    When Gerard Houllier was sacked as LFC Team Manager and replaced by Rafael Benitez, Diouf was on his way out to Bolton Wonderers.
    Therefore, can someone tell this Mhango to behave, otherwise if the spitting issue surfaces again, then, very likely that he will end up on the bench thereby missing the opportunity to playing regularly. Other than injuries, bad behaviour is what dented Diuof’s football career having spent three poor seasons at LFC — scoring just three league goals — before having spells at Bolton where according to Wikipedia he scored 18 goals, Sunderland (0 goal), Blackburn Rovers (4 goals), Rangers (1 goal), Doncaster Rovers (6 goals) and Leeds United (5 goals).

  2. a gaba ku jons sikwanu mulandila chilango khalidwe ndilofunika koma mwapangazo eeee mukhaula mwatichititsa manyazi ku dziko lathu thats unsportsship behavouiur

  3. If he did it then he is a bastard. That’s ridiculous. Ban him for the entire season. Malawians are not known for such stupidity.
