HERALD SPORTS REPORTER
PANJIM, JAN 9
Churchill Alemao, patron of Churchill Brothers SC lodged a complaint against referee Dinesh Nair for biased and unfair referring during their match against Salgaocar Sports Club in the I-League played at PJN Stadium, Fatorda on Saturday.
Churchill informed Herald that the formal complaint will be lodged with the AIFF CEO in New Delhi on Monday morning, when their official Macario Rodriguese will meet the official at the Football House.
He stated that the referee was partial in his decision in awarding two penalties to Salgaocar SC; while Churchill Brothers were deprived of atleast one penalty.
Churchill blamed the referee for favoritism and showing no impartiality in his decision, which deprived Churchill Brothers if not a victory than atleast a draw.
Churchill pointed out that referee Dinesh in the past too, had been very unfair in his decision’s and that it was Churchill Brothers who were at the receiving end.
He further added that, ‘if the trend continues he’ll be forced to withdraw the team, as the players get demoralised and for no reason of theirs, valuable points are lost.
He pleaded that referee Dinesh should not be appointed henceforth atleast for the matches involving Churchill Brothers team.
