The Controversies in Hero Indian Super League

Tonight, India going to witness a grand final of the Hero Indian Super League where Atletico de Kolkata faces Kerala Blasters FC. We have left with 6 hours to kick-off the final match. Too much speculations about the winner. But to the shock and dismay too much controversies building up in the Hero Indian Super League.

With Ravshan Irmatov to officiate the final match, the veracity of decisions are being challenged prior to the match. The Controversy with Luis Garcia Goal which was disallowed against Kerala Blasters in the League table match and the poor decision on the hand ball still haunt Atletico de Kolkata who are in the finals of the Hero Indian Super League. To add to this injury, they will watch the same official officiating them against the Kerala Blasters. This kind of moves in Hero Indian Super League would raise suspicion over the officials. Discussion were started in social media with comments that ISL bosses want Sachin to lift the Trophy as first champions on this inaugural season of Hero Indian Super League. Even though, those are informal talk between fans of the clubs, it can't be brushed aside considering the gravity of event built-up in the Hero Indian Super League.

But these characteristics are not limited only to Hero Indian Super League. To err is human. But consecutive errors are unforgivable. Such controversies make fans lose zeal over the tournament. It all common when a referee fails to note a genuine fouls made. Since the flow and pace of the match might over shadow the foul. But excuses must be limited. Denial of legitimate goals will make bad jokes and sarcasm on the future.

Emergence of Kerala Blasters from nowhere to the finals is applauded. But that doesn't set right the controversies behind the decisions. We fans hope at least by next season of the Hero Indian Super League goal-line technology is not only placed but also working. For us, it is no surprise if Kerala Blaster lift the title this season. Yet, Atletico de Kolkata will be unrelenting to concede. Tonight, the air will be cleared at Navi Mumbai.
