    Institutional Teams should be banned from AIFF events, not just the I league.

    They are not there in I-League. If you ban them from National Games or Santosh Trophy or Durand Cup, where will they play? institutional teams are not there in ISL, I-League and 2nd Division. Now we are talking about 4th Division literally.

    Institutional clubs should only be barred from I-League and I-League 2nd Division. Local leagues, tournaments, and domestic cups like the Federation Cup and Durand Cup are fine. As long as they don't have to reach an AFC license then we are good.

    PANJIM: The Goa football team
    captain Micky Fernandes failed to
    lead by example, as he lost his cool
    and punched teammate Mario
    Mascarenhas in the hotel room, after
    their 2-0 defeat at the hands of
    Punjab, in the bronze medal match of
    the ongoing 35th National Games, in
    Kerala, on February 7.
    Goa were trailing their opponents and
    Mario, the captain of Goa
    Professional League outfit Santa Cruz
    Club of Cavelossim, insisted his
    skipper should press more men
    forward and change the tempo of the
    game to bounce back into the match.
    This did not go down well with the
    short-tempered Micky, who is known
    for his hard tackles on the pitch and
    often finds his name in the referee’s
    book.
    On February 7, after the match, which
    started at 4 pm concluded after 90
    minutes, and the team left for their
    hotel, at about 7.15 pm Micky entered
    Mario’s room and punched him on his
    nose, leaving the defender bleeding.
    The team performed as one unit until
    the ugly incident. After a successive
    Santosh Trophy campaign, which
    sealed a place for Goa in the final
    round under Micky’s leadership, the
    same squad along with some new
    additions were selected to represent
    the State for the National Games.
    Given the current circumstances, all
    the players have now
    threatened to boycott the Santosh
    Trophy final round until strict
    disciplinary action is taken by the
    Goa Football Association (GFA) and
    its President, Elvis Gomes, against
    Micky.
    Sources from the GFA stated that the
    reason which led to the brawl was
    division among the players over the
    captaincy which led to groupism.
    Initially, Tuff Laxmi Prasad SC’s
    prolific striker Marcus Mascarenhas
    led the side as Goa humbled Tamil
    Nadu 6-1, in the opening match, on
    February 1.
    This didn’t go well with Micky, the
    ex-skipper of Air India who hails from
    Cuncolim. However, after pressure
    from the GFA’s top management,
    Micky was named skipper for the
    second match which they lost to
    Maharashtra 5-3.
    “I am currently down with fever and
    do not have a clear picture of the
    incident. The GFA will surely look
    into the matter and action will be
    taken accordingly after the manager’s
    report,” Gomes said, late Friday night.
    The team arrived in Goa, on February
    11 and manager, Patrick D’Souza is
    yet to submit his report to the GFA.
