Khamba singh does all that it required to provide a milage to Mahindra United – depriving penalties, goal, averting cards and much more. One wonders whether AIFF takes any step against the referee. A video footage, if forwarded to FIFA or AFC, can result to severe punishment of the referee. During the first half of the game spectators spent time dissecting incidents and concluded that in all his decisions, the referee was wrong. He was soft on Chirag . It started when in the 25th minute Barreto was pulled down and referee ignored. Bagan was deprived of a penalty. In the 29th minute Referee gave wrong decisions and awarded a free kick for Chirag when Azim actually hit the ball!
In 34th minute Snehasish was hit so hard that his elbow seem to be dislocated. He was rushed to the hospital and as expected (by that time the intension was clear) Khamba Singh ignored the foul.
Praveen Kumar made a foul worth marching order – he was not even warned. Happy with the referee’s performance, on the field (and perhaps off as well) Praveen was soon found beating Ishfaq, Snehasish’s substitute. Edmilson liked the show and joined him.
Narugopal soon followed his mates- and was found hitting James badly. Referee ignored this as well.
In the 48th minute Khamba singh denied Bagan once again. A James Singh cross was handled down by Kingshuk Debnath and referee once again ignored this incident. 2nd time in the game Bagan was deprived of a penalty.
The expectation started shifting for the fans and supports of Mohun Bagan. People started discussing that soon the referee will cancel a field goal. This became true when a Sueoka goal in the 68th minute was rejected by referee. The shot was deflected by chidi and referee felt its a hand ball.
In the 76th minute Bagan was deprived of the 3rd penalty by Khamba singh. This happened when Sueoka’s shot was handled by a Chirag player and expectedly the referee ignored.

It was a routine winter morning for the Calcutta, the then Kolkata in 1999. Everything seems to be right on track except for one who came down from the Land of football itself. The young had just managed 23 candles and knowing nothing in India started chasing after his career. He didn’t even know the language of Kolkata, but Kolkata couldn’t remain silent to his language. It was the language of football which evoked the name of Hose Ramirez Barreto.
To commensurate this incredible achievement Mohun Bagan fans came up with their ideas. Such a person is Kausik Banerji, a service man by profession and Mohun Bagani by passion. This man from Baguati is well known for his affection towards Mohun Bagan, had several innovative thoughts to make his club memorable. He is the man who brings the concept of Mohun Bagan on Raksha Bandhan, introduced a calendar completely devoted to Mohun Bagan last year and many more. In 2005 he published a book on Barreto namely Kachher Manush Barreto.
