We are in the semi-final stage of this year’s edition of the ISL but the refereeing standards is disgraceful and instead of getting better has gone from bad to worse.
FC Goa has been at the receiving end of some blatant bad decisions by the referee in the semi-final match.
Goa were denied two clear penalties and a direct red card to Mumbai's top defender towards the end would have made him miss the return leg.
If this situation continues, the country's premier tournament will die a slow death with teams withdrawing due to incompetent refereeing.
It is high time the organisers take some remedial measures before this tournament loses its sheen and spectator appeal.
