As far as I remember, it was our ex-IFN member @deepakc who was the first to use the word "circus" to define the ISL...later other members took over the mantle.

Not sure sure about EB being red and gold but Eb's definitely red today.

EB down to 9 men after red cards to Nanda and Mahesh.

FT EB 0-0 MSC

Resolute defending from EB helped them earn their first point in the ISL, after being down to 9 men in the first half

The Mohammedan attackers are so poor in finishing, especially Franca...they had so many chances, but failed to convert a single one!

Their goalkeeper Bhaskar Roy had a very good game

Chennaiyin FC drew 1-1 with Mumbai City FC

Absolutely correct decisions. We should never entertain such actions from players. We have suffered a lot due to domestic referee leniency, in international matched indian players getting marching orders, a lot. Players should realise these are against Fifa s fair play rule book

Indian refrees standards are hitting low with passing year. Not only they do mistakes but the mistakes which determine the course of the game. I have to keep abusing Indian refrees in this forum every year, sometimes multiple times in a season.
These Indian refrees look like those middle class govt babus.

I disagree here. I have watched a lot of the matches and contrary to others I have seen they have progressed really well. Yes they do make mistakes and yest one has a howler but it has reduced a lot this season. Just don't spread fake negativity, its An obsession these days in Indian football. Its quite better considering Asian standard

KBFC has been receivng end of bad refreeing decisions even to the extent of losing the title challenge. and the audacity of awarding a bad decision in front of a huge crowd in kochi stadum.
