NEW DELHI: From allowing unregistered players to permitting alleged Tibetan footballers turning out for a club, Delhi Soccer Association (DSA) has al ready been hit hard by controversies.
The association got another blow to their already battered image, when a couple of clubs, which also included Tarun Sangha and Indian Nationals, protested against fielding an assistant referee Kamal Rakshit in a Super League match which pitted Sangha against Ahbab on Sunday. The match ended goalless.
Rakshit, the clubs claimed, is a goalkeeper coach with Hindustan Club and he shouldn't have got any postings in Super League. His presence on the lines possibly denied Sangha a goal and a win against Ahbab.
"While the referee allowed the goal, Rakshit disallowed it though it wasn't even called for an off-side," explained Tarun Sangha coach Anadi Barua.
Interestingly, referees' board secretary Joginder Singh was unavailable for comment because he is in Udaipur to 'officiate' in an event. It wasn't clear why he left his duty and officiating elsewhere when DSA has persuaded All India Football Federation (AIFF) not to assign any Delhi referees for I-League till the local league is over.
Meanwhile, the association was unable to decide on the fate of seven Tibetan footballers who allegedly turned out for Royal Rangers on Friday. The club claimed the players hold valid Indian passports but they haven't replied to DSA's showcause notice yet.
ND Heroes beat Rangers
Defending champions ND Heroes defeated Royal Rangers 1-0 in Super League while last year's runners-up Indian Nationals were held to a goalless draw by Simla Youngs.
