FANS OF ISL franchise NorthEast United FC were in for a huge surprise on Thursday, when Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo conveyed his wishes to his friend and co-owner John Abraham and his team.
AFTER MORE THAN TWO WEEKS into its second edition, ISL is finally returning to Guwahati. Tonight, NorthEast United get to play in front of their fans once again, taking on a difficult opponent in Zico's FC Goa.
IN A STRANGE DEPARTURE from the regular norms of making disciplinary complaints, Atletico de Kolkata forward Baljit Singh Sahni has sent an email to AIFF on his own, formally informing them of his allegations that FC Goa defender Gregory Arnolin had made racist and derogatory comments aimed at him during their match on 7th October. This, according to Baljit, is what prompted him to lose his cool and head-butt the French defender.

FC GOA will aim to build on their impressive start when they face winless Chennaiyin FC in an Indian Super League (ISL) third round match in Goa on Sunday.

BALJIT SINGH has alleged that Gregory Arnolin made racist comments at him which led to the infamous head-butt incident. But the lackluster response from ATK, ISL and AIFF has exposed once again how Indian football lacks a solid structure to address such grievances.
BALJIT SINGH SAHNI, the ATK forward who was sent off after head-butting FC Goa defender Gregory Arnolin, has said that the incident was sparked by Gregory's racist and derogatory comments towards him.
In a cricket obsessed nation, football thrived only in a few pockets and qualitatively was caught out in the 1980s. Now it is nice to see the Indian Soccer league trying to revive interest in the most loved sport around the world, but it will take a lot more than a league to pump prime it.
