Questions surrounding #KOLGOA -

1) Why are @IndSuperLeague authorities endangering the @FCGoaOfficial players by making them play after they've gone through severe mental & physical stress under extraordinary circumstances in last 24 hrs?#HeroISL #indianfootball

3) Why aren't @WorldATK as organizers offering to postpone this game? Is that because they are desperate to use the unfair advantage this situation gives them over @FCGoaOfficial? #KOLGOA #HeroISL #indianfootball

Shouldn't the match commissioner be practical and call off the ATK-Goa? Think of the fans, who'll have to travel home post midnight and most of all, spare a thought for the players. To make them play after all this will be the biggest sham in #IndianFootball

Can't even imagine how knackered the @FCGoaOfficial team is going to be in today's encounter! A true display of unswerving but impractical sportsmanship. #KOLGOA #LetsFootball

I am not a big fan of late ni8 sporting action particularly when kids[FANS] are there in a stadium. "Unavoidable Circumstances" should have been delt with "Extraordinary Measures". Match getting over around 1 am not good for many reason . #LetsFootball #HeroISL #KOLGOA

If #IMG want a match to be played at any given day or time then the match have to happen only coz when the boss say so everyone listens who cares abt the players who are involved this is the so called top Indian league #KOLGOA #HeroISL
