Gomes has proven to be a rather flamboyant character, regularly entertaining he crowd with his gestures, who has a comical and animated way of getting his point a cross.
He may bring a laugh to those up in the stands, but his methods and his love of the limelight are not overly appreciated by coaches.
Ernst Middendorp certainly was not laughing after Maritzburg United went down 1-0 to Ajax Cape Town at Athlone Stadium on Friday, after Gomes sent off assistant coach Ronnie Kanalelo as well as physio Burger van der Merwe in the first half.
This came just a few days after the same match official red-carded Mohamed Awal in the loss to Platinum Stars.
Middendorp admits last night's double sending off did not affect the outcome of the game – "congratulations to Ajax, they were the more active team and deserved the win, no doubt about it," he says – but was nonetheless very unhappy to see the same man in black twice in one week.
"He was the man of the match already with the red card against Mohamed Awal, I saw [Thami] Sangweni jumping in with both legs against Free State Stars [without being sent off].
"[Gomes' presence] took so much energy already. And then three days later you get the same man of the match delivered from the PSL, I thought it was a joke. I'm sure we will have him with Pirates in 10 days time."
Winning coach Jan Pruijn also had some less than complimentary words for Gomes, suggesting it was not a case of sour grapes from the German.
"You have 95 percent of your fate in your own hands. The other five percent I don't know. When I arrived and I saw Gomes, I thought that could be the other five percent.
"I told my boys to help each other and talk to each other, but never to talk to this Gomes, because you never know."

We were all over these Chimpanzees and let down by some poor finishing from the likes abo Siya and Lucky. That goal should have made it 2 nill and we were going to win the game 4 nil.
These guys fail to see a clear picture in this: De Sa costed them, not the referee...the points were long lost in the starting line-up against Chippa....
These primates only had about 3 shots on target including tht goal....the posession said it all

The moment i saw that Robert Smith moegoe coming out of the tunnel i knew it was going to take more than just a fight to win that game. That was a clear goal, a Lionel Messi esque.

Asisebenzi ngendaba yocishe la....
For all we know Shabba was deliberately kicked by some moron but nothing was given...we cant complain here.
You thought you had it in the bag and Majoro just proved how average your defender Sangweni is....then you retracted in saying \"that was supposed to be a goal\"....

This guy and Smith its like they have something against Pirates and love Tortoises FC, where is Buyile Gqubule? next time Pirates plays Tortoises Sylvester Ndaba should be referee, without fear or favour. Ayeye khosi liyeziBhakaniya.
=====================================================
Khohlwa baba!!! Its gone now.......tell that to Chippa.
You easily forget that \"Batman\" is pulling a Dr Basson to your team.....a slow and painful death.
Why rest players ahead of the derby? That simply kills the momentum of the team....#He would have finished KC in the first half, to be honst with you#
Are you disputing that was goal or you don't want us to talk about it coz it adds on your history books of fraud.

@Feelosopher De Sa was spot on to rest some of his players bcoz playing in Cape Town on a Wednesday night and fly back to Joburg for such a big game like this is not easy, if u don't know on our 2nd derby the same thing will happen this time to cHIVs where they will travel to Cape Town to play Chppa before hosting Pirates on the Saturday........ I am worried how ur Coach will do....
