    AIFF has given one year grace period to all the i league div 1 teams to meet the AFC criteria at the same time they are saying that div 2 toppers who does not meet the AFC criteria will not be promoted. Why these restrictions? Can somebody explain?

    Good point...but probably the grace period is more deserved by the PSU's for their contribution in Indian football for years
    So PSU's are the pampered child of the AIFF <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> (or is it the amount of money they can pump in is considered by AIFF <!-- s:?: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_question.gif" alt=":?:" title="Question" /><!-- s:?: --> )

    Its very surprising how he passed away. Complete negligence on the part of the club! he apparently broke his shin bone and the docs suspect fat from the bone mixed in the blood and went upto heart to block the valve. How can they allow so much time b4 treatment?? Disgusting!

    Now there is news circulating that MB will help EB go their i-league title chase by defeating Salgaoncar in their next i-league match. I wonder if MB Will be able to do this favour to EB as Salgaoncar is like a wounded tiger who will come hard on MB & secondly the MB players will always have this on their mind that their victory will benefit their hardcore rivals EB which will be impossible for them to digest even if they speak the contrary. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

    “This is a football jam,” smiles Jo-Paul Ancheri. “Even IM (Vijayan) would have found it hard to dribble past it,” he bursts into laughter. “I have seen bigger crowds in Kolkata. But Shillong is different. Look at the number of ladies who turn out for a match. It’s an inspiring story,” Jo-Paul says, even as a middle-aged lady, in an elegant long-coat, clicks Jo-Paul on her snazzy mobile.

    There are schoolgirls, college-girls with their boyfriends, newly-married couples, leave aside the middle-aged and the elderly ones. All, in the crowd for a cause.

    India’s I-League: Quartet charge towards finish line
    With just two rounds remaining Salgaocar surrendered top spot after drawing 2-2 at Mohun Bagan, allowing fellow Goan-based side Churchill Brothers to move top by virtue of goals scored, thanks to a convincing 3-0 win over Hindustan Aeronautics. However the 2009 champions have played one game more than Salgaocar, and three more than East Bengal and Dempo, both of whom sit just three points shy of the pinnacle.

    Big game: The visit of Churchill Brothers to relegation haunted Hindustan Aeronautics was crucial to both teams for differing reasons. Churchill secured maximum points in a one-sided contest to move top of the standings, while the home side were left three points away from safety at the other end of the table.
    Headline-grabber: A double from prolific Nigerian striker Chidi Edeh helped Mohun Bagan hold leaders Salgaocar to a share of the points. The point consolidates sixth for the Kolkata-based side in what has been a modest season for one of the league’s elite.

    With Dempo
    having recovered well after their
    9-0 thrashing at the hands of
    Nasaf to be one of the two
    teams to progress into the next
    round from Group A of AFC Cup
    as they downed Al Ansar 2-1
    the I-League fixtures will now
    have to be rescheduled.
    The Indian champions next face
    Iraq ’s Duhok in a one-legged
    away tie on May 24 and this has
    left the All India Football
    Federation (AIFF) with little
    choice but to consider
    postponement of the final round
    of I-League.
    As per the current fixture list,
    Dempo are to play against East
    Bengal on May 15 and thereafter
    face Mumbai FC (May 19), HAL
    (May 23), Pune FC (May 26) and
    Air India (May 29).
    With Dempo being involved in
    the title race and the relegation
    battle hotting up as well, the AIFF
    will have to ensure that the
    matches of Round 26 are to be
    played on the same day.
    “We have written to the clubs on
    this and are awaiting their
    response on the same, ”
    informed Sunando Dhar, the I-
    League CEO.
    However it is learnt that several
    clubs haven ’t agreed to the
    above proposal given that visas
    of foreign players and coaches is
    set to expire while the bigger
    issue is that the contract signed
    by the players ends on May 31.
    Given that most of the players
    have already decided whether to
    stay with a particular club or
    move on to some other team, the
    question of as to who would pay
    the salary for the month of June
    has also arisen.
    “Would the player be loyal to us
    on the field of play when he
    knows that some other club is
    set to pay his salary for the
    month of June? What if he gets
    injured in the last match? Are we
    expected to pay for his
    treatment given that we are
    aware of his move to some
    other club ?” questioned a club
    official.
    Meanwhile, Churchill Bros
    Administrative Manager Macario
    Rodrigues stated that he will be
    attending the meeting in New
    Delhi on Monday morning. Source: OHERALDO
