Black Day PHOTOS : Crowd fury abandons Mohun Bagan match 2016

It was a Calcutta Football League match between the biggies Mohun Bagan and the minnows Tollygunge Agragami. Mohun Bagan, if they lose, will be on the verge of elimination, to their arch rivals East Bengal.

During the game there were three offside-goal decisions, which the referees ruled out, that irked the Mohun Bagan supporters. First, lets look into the 3 incidents.

First offside

The linesman rose his flag just when the head was done. At the time of release of the ball, Bidemi was slightly ahead of the last defender. Verdict : OFFSIDE.

Second offside

At the time of the release of the ball, Prabir  Das was clearly ahead of the last defender. Verdict : Definitely OFFSIDE.

Third offside

The third one was the controversial one. First let me clear, according to the match commissioner, Azharuddin was in offside position and not Amiri. So the new rule stays void in this case. When Duffy released the ball, we can see Azhar was ahead of the last defender. The linesman might not be in the correct position, neither the camera is in a good position but his call has been perfect. For more clarity, I have made a 3D Mapping of the ground.

In 3D mapping, it clearly shows that Azhar was ahead of the last defender at the time of the release of the ball. Verdict : OFFSIDE.

With the match locked 1-1, trouble erupted after Mohun Bagan winger Azharuddin Mallick's goal was disallowed. Furious Mohun Bagan players charged at referee Dipu Roy and protested assistant referee Ujjal Haldar's decision to flag the goal as offside.

The players' dissatisfaction permeated the packed galleries and the supporters soon started throwing bottles and other missiles to the pitch, forcing the game to be halted. Dozens crossed the fencing and ran on to the ground.
