31st May: A red-letter day in Mohun Bagan’s history

11 years back, it was a night to cherish forever for every Mohun Bagan fan across the globe. The golden moment of the Bello Rasaq’s header cuddling into the net will continue to resonate in every mariner’s heart. Let’s immerse ourselves into that dream-comes-true aura for one more time.

 

After a long wait of 13 years draught, finally the redemption was accomplished with that header sealing the all necessary 1-1 draw against BFC at their backyard only. The national club of India were again crowned the national football champions. History rewritten!!!

 

Shameless refereeing continues

Mohun Bagan, like last six years, continues to be the victim of the refereeing (the other team that was victim of refereeing is Churchill Brothers)

 

Like last few years , this year too denial of clear penalties (against East Bengal), denial of clean goals (Mumbai FC and Bengaluru FC), international attempt to reduce Bagan players while opponents were let off with nasty fouls on Bagan players have been part of the Bagan matches. Sreekrishna, who denied Bagan a penalty against East Bengal was the one who cancelled a goal against Bengaluru FC citing “infringement” while it was clear Arindam play acted.

 

It seems there is a body which does not want Bagan to become champion. They kept Bagan coach away from the field last year , and ensured Bagan concede goal from penalty when an opponent player handles the ball, asks assistant coach for marching order in vital matches.

If cricket can have a clean up , why Supreme Court is not looking into football and have a clean up in Football as well?

Bagan fails to impress

Mohun Bagan fails to impress today. This match will definitely keep the Head Coach into worries as the team goes to play AFC Champions League against Tampine Rovers.  Sony Norde was off colour, Yusa still making supporters nervous and Glen failing to convert opportunities into goals.

 

The Bagan defense made one mistake today and Ranty Martins , found off guard converts the mistake into a goal. However this could be debates if Ranty was in offside position. Glen did well to find the equalizer for Bagan. Bagan failed to take the advantage of an additional foreigner today. In the return league KEB will definitely have balance and will rather start as a better team than Bagan.

However it will still remain an unsolved mystery why the Indian referee can’t see fouls of Mehtab when it comes to iLeague.
