Even if they had launched a full scale attack on the cops were so many needed.

This incident created a great hype on the social networking sites.


Many came out and raised their voice. Messages were also circulated to boycott the next home match and also demanding explanations.

But ISL has not reacted to the highhanded behavior of the police and security at their event. But many questions still remain.

Was it a message that the ISL does not need Goan fans?
