Comment: Can We Have Some Lights Please?!
The second half between East Bengal and Sporting Clube De Goa was delayed due to some technical problem with the floodlights. Goal.com looks at another menacing problem which haunts Indian football…

Floodlights
going off aren’t happening for the first time in India. In fact, it’s pretty much
‘normal.’ We have heard several times from those in authority that it was a
‘technical glitch’. Even in the IPL game between Kolkata Knight Riders and
Deccan Chargers was interrupted thanks to the floodlights going off. Where did
this happen? Err….hmm…Ko….l…ka…ta….
Usually, at the end of the first half, I switch off and proceed to write and by the time, I switch on, the second half would have just commenced. Last evening was a different story as I saw the match commissioner blabbering a few words that the match would commence in another ‘five to ten minutes’.
When asked that whether the teams aren’t complaining or in the know of the situation, the official stated that the teams were indeed aware and none were throwing tantrums. This just goes out to prove that for the teams it’s just another incident. Or maybe they looked at the other and sang 'We've got each other in the dark' from the latest DJ Tiesto dance track.
The act of confession is practiced by members of different faiths which involves that the penitent must be repentant for his or her acts or thoughts. This could be done either in private or in the presence of a third party which varies according to different religious practices.
Logically speaking, to feel contrived translates that one mustn’t or as much as possible, avoid to commit the same mistakes over and over again. If a fan is switched off then it just doesn’t stop automatically at that very instant. There are a few more oscillations before it finally halts. Similarly, if one admits a mistake, the tendency to commit it again won’t stop all of a sudden. It takes some time to go.
But, in the case of some of these administrators, on every occasion the same problem is been encapsulated in a new term and presented to the Indian football fan. ‘Technical glitch’, ‘power failure’, ‘no back-up generator’, ‘a minor problem’, etc are just some of the various reasons put forth. Haven’t we heard this over and over again?
It’s high time that those in power do something about the problems and come out with a concrete solution for the same. Or else the fans would be bombarded with these ‘technical glitches’ and it wouldn’t serve the game.
