Was at the ground, it was a full house again, easily 12k in that tiny stadium in Kalyani. Dong missed a penalty and Jiten Murmu missed an open goal with the goalkeeper behind him. EB should have won this by 5/6 goals easy but did create plenty of chances.
Angus was dropped from the starting XI with Arnab and Gurwinder manning the central defense. Morgan played six defenders in the second half with EB leading 2-0 at that time, some fuckall strategy. The crowd today targetted Rahim Nabi throughout.
Dong, Adelaja and Murmu all missed sitters. The energy and fizz of the first half was missing in the second half....defence was not much better...Luis Barreto pulled off some good saves.
Where exactly are you from mate? Kalyani is like 70kms from EB ground which is at the heart of the city. It's a pain for players and Kolkata fans to commute there and back. And this is Calcutta league ffs and not zila league! From next season just like MB and MSC we will also play all matches at home ground for CFL.
I agree that EB MB must find dedicated practice grounds and play I-League matches at their home ground. But that home ground has to be our own grounds and not frigging Kalyani or Barasat.
A minor surprise today....Tollygunje Agragami beat Mohammedan Sporting 2-1. Goal-scorers of Tollygunje were Karim and Lama, MSC scored their only goal through Dodoz...all the goals were scored in the first half...with this win, Tollygunje go to the top of the table with 7 points from 3 http://kolkatafootball.com/live_update/index.html#horizontalTab1 Sample this sentence from the website: 'Tolly win their third match and go to the top of the table with 7 pints???..... I pint for each point?
At HT, Mohun Bagan is leading 2-0. Prabir Das scored both the goals....MB dominated proceedings, but Badmas Baba err... Babatunde managed to trouble the Bagan defence on a couple of occasions.
