FSDL should completely do away with Indian referees. Let's face it, Indian referees are just piss poor. We dont watch football to see this shitshow everyday. Or FSDL should introduce penalties for wrong refereeing decisions. One wrong decision in a match, 50% payment cut, two wrong decisions, no payment and suspension for a week. And this should be made public, to shame the referees.
what is it going to achieve? Dont want to make any comparison but in any field if one instead of showing the right way gets constantly penalised and shamed, people would just shy away from it and not endorse that path. People will be afraid of taking that path, as it is it is not a profitable proposition being a referee in India. Most take this up for their love of football. I agree standard should be elevated specially in a league like I-league or ISL. But the only way of doing it is constant coaching, learning, and correct the mistakes that happen.
Great performance by BFC today. Musa delivered with mostly 9 Indian players on the field.credit to him, BFC are now unbeatable in their last 3 games. Chhetri still looked like the fastest Indian player on the pitch!
It was good to see Ajith playing full 90 mins & a clean sheet..
Match summary in Robbie's words : A team with 2 coached players coached by an uncoached coach defeated a team with 5 coached players due to an uncoached ref
Stuart Baxter blasted indian football after getting sacked he said indians can't play football and india will never qualify for world cup and will never win asia cup, india was his worst experience in life. He also blasted odisha fc owner for wearing Delhi capital IPL Jersey in dressing room and talking about cricket to him instead of football, he also pointed out odisha owner refused to give him any money to sign players.
We really do not need such kind of irresponsible professionals. Most British coaches will lament the lack of quality in Indian players to try and overshadow their failure. I guess he didnt know the quality when he came to coach an Indian team. Greed of money was it?
The All India Football Federation (AIFF) Disciplinary Committee has
sanctioned SC East Bengal Head Coach Mr Robbie Fowler for breaching
Article 50 (misconduct against match officials) of the AIFF Disciplinary
Code. He has been suspended for 4 matches and fined Rs 5 lakh. This
punitive action is specifically in regard to Mr Fowler's criticism of
on-field refereeing decisions in matches of the Hero Indian Super League
2020-21 season involving SC East Bengal.
Article 50.4 of the AIFF Disciplinary Code provides that fine and/or
match suspension, as may be deemed suitable by the Disciplinary
Committee, may be imposed for any person engaging in public criticism or
making any adverse comment (such as about the integrity of a person) in
media, press conferences etc. anytime against a Match Official.
The adverse remarks have questioned and cast aspersions on the
integrity and honesty of the Match Officials who have supervised the
matches with the best of their abilities with sincerity and maintaining
neutrality. Moreover, anyone making any criticism through public media
must be extremely cautious to ensure that under the garb of criticism
and remarks in no way defame someone either directly or by innuendos.
This is not unprecedented in the Hero ISL. In the 2017-18 season, Mr
Ranko Popovic, then FC Pune City Head Coach, was meted out the same
punishment for his outburst against Match Officials. Even last season,
Mr Antonio Lopez Habas (then ATK FC Head Coach) and Mr Eelco Schattorie
(then Kerala Blasters FC Head Coach) were also handed similar
punishments by the AIFF.
However, the Committee, taking note of certain media reports clarified that none of Mr Fowler’s comments was racist ones.
