WATCH: Players in Delhi Football League match concede dubious-looking own goals to spark match-fixing fears

Match-fixing allegations were levelled at a Delhi Football League match on Monday when Ahbab FC, who were winning the match 4-0, conceded two dubious-looking own goals late in their game against Rangers FC. The match finished 4-2 in favour of Ahbab FC. The incident gained traction on social media after videos of the two goals surfaced online. In the first instance, Ahbab FC players can be seen passing the ball in and around their own half with no pressure or players from Rangers nearby, in the 86th minute of the match. The ‘move’ ended with one of the Ahbab player lobbing the ball back into his own net for a goal, with the keeper standing away from the goal post. https://t.co/wclleyfHfE I tweeted about it in January mid – no one did anything- again I have been proven right – can you...

Young Jeakson Singh flags the obvious about Manipur violence | Football News – Times of India

Wonder what Kalyan Chaubey makes of Jeakson Singh’s act of courage during India’s celebration after winning the SAFF Championship, in trying to draw the Indian government to look at Manipur and help stop the horrific two-month-old violence in the state. Is a nameless, faceless, zero-nuance official All India Football Federation (AIFF) statement on its way, telling us that politics has no place in sports? Perhaps.Chaubey, much-travelled former goalkeeper, is now much-travelled AIFF president. A born-again BJP member who made it to the highest office in Indian football due to his party affiliation despite little or no time spent as a football administrator, Chaubey would have looked on wanly at Jeakson’s action. Or turned a blind eye only to rain retribution later.Jeaskon, a midfielder ha...
