Thoottaaayi goaal..
athu kalanjillenki 1 point kittyene :)
Refreeing was so poor...
Chirag was doing all the time wasting and the only player booked for time wasting was Vivas captain !!!
During a corner Referee dint see the substitution that was shown and Sakeer was asking referee to look at that ..
Instead he carded Sakeer ..
Overall refereeing was very poor .. you can see from the video ..
Viva hasn't complaint about it officially or unofficially but Sakeer got an unnecessary yellow and it can be trouble at one stage ... should appeal against it ..
There were numerous other incidents of free kicks going wrong way ..
too bad!
There was a clear case of hand ball tat too in Chirag box when Sakeer's shot hit a defender on arm .. it wasnt given .. the deflection was so huge .. shot was on target and the goalkeeper never knew about it .. was a goal for sure!
[...] shot was hit with such power that it was destined to the net.(Watch the video) The deflection later was cleared and Viva was awarded a corner kick. A goal at this moment would [...]
why didnt patrick play???????????
Thanks for posting the videos. Kerala football enthusiastics like us who are living abroad get to watch the matches this way....
Its unfortunate that Viva lost. However the lack of quality of modern day football was evident in the game. Both teams failed to play constructive football, couldnt even complete atleast three succesfull passes at a go to create a move! Viva appeared in the game of 'whacking' as they were hitting the ball up in the air through out....obviously the style of military game Sreedharan played! Few players looked to be on the field for the sake of it to complete 90 minutes!
Aren's these players watching EPL and International football matches, atleast to emulate and try better football? Arent these coaches getting any advanced training?
its just a matter of time. viva has just been promoted and still needs time to settle in. considering this the performance was not that bad.
The team is anyway looking better compared to the one we had in the previous stint! letz give them some more time to proove...Anyway this edition target is to avoid the relegation! Thanks a lot mohan for the videos! Expect more!
