Brandon injured his Adam's apple after being elbowed by former Trinidad and Tobago international Densill Theobald. The player looked in serious discomfort and had to taken off minutes after the incident.
That was not the end of it as the 21-year-old had was rushed to Narayana Hospital soon after and had to be admitted there before he got a scan. The youngster is recovering now but will be a big doubt for Mohun Bagan's first AFC Cup match with the side set to leave the city on Tuesday.
Bishu Bhattacharya playing with fire by ommiting Dong completely from the 18 man squad. One loss and the masses would scream for his blood and rightly so. His substitutions yesterday were baffling, why take out Mehtab, who is in form when the match is in the balance at 1-1? Jairu was clearly struggling in the second half, but he didnt keep Dong in the reserve bench to sub Jairu. And surely he must understand, Mendy as versatile as he is, cant play as a striker. Rafique and Ranti is the best combination we have upfront this season and more often than not they have delivered, why finger it?
So at halfway stage, after many years, the big two from Kolkata are leading the race with just one point separating them.
Anything less than the iLeague title is a failure for us and of course the players and coach. We dont need a coach who cant win the league for us, period. If Bishu can, he will be a hero, if not, he can go to hell! Its a zero sum game and we like it that way.
The Rs 2 Crore publicity was difficult to witness anywhere. At least I did not see it in any local media. Maybe they have done it, but what is a campaign that has to be searched in the media? In Kolkata, I think the market is kept 'warm' by the newspapers and TV. They are doing this for several years.
