Kochi witnesses dramatic moments

A man (in white) whose hair resembled Dhoni shouted at the referee. The referee shouted back. And, this went on for almost five minutes, till police intervened.

In one of the most dramatic moments to have ever happened on a sporting field(as far as I've seen), the Manipur players got wild after its opponent Goa hit their first goal in the 88th minute. Manipur had hit their first goal (a wonderful free-kick) just a few seconds ago.

Manipur players hadn't finished celebrating their goal when they saw Goa guys jumping and shouting as they had scored a goal. All this three minutes before end of play.

The Jawaharlal Nehru stadium in Kochi witnessed (and I saw it on TV) furious arguments, and many four-letter words travelled from player to referee. All this happened for almost five minutes, and then some burly policemen had to separate the people from arguing. Where were the organisers?

I wish I'd been at the stadium today, as a football-crazy crowd would have definitely got wild on seeing some players mouthing obscenities. And that reminds me, we're most probably going for the semifinals tomorrow(when Kerala takes on Maharasthra).
