Eric's personal view: Referees favour New Radiant



Date: 21 May 2006 | Uploaded: 11:58 PM

 

 
Oiyttey (L) looks not very happy about Saleem's decision  
"The referees are favouring New Radiant. It is obvious. You could see in the New Radiant
versus Victory match as well
"
- Eric
 

Male', MALDIVES -
Eric Williams, coach of Valencia blasted out on the poor refereeing displayed in today’s encounter against New Radiant. He criticized the referees saying that they were biased to New Radiant and favors them. He kept these comments till the end of the news conference.

He noted that the comments that he made is on his own personal view not the team’s view

“I am commenting on my personal view. Not from the team's side”

“After we scored the two goals, it seems the referee was on their side. We got 3 yellow cards and one red card. But the referee did not show a red for obvious foul by Ashfaaq. He brought down our player just infront of the fourth official but he did not do anything”

“The referees are favouring New Radiant. It is obvious. You could see in the New Radiant versus Victory match as well”

Eric also noted that if the teams have to improve the play, the referees should not be biased

“FAM referees are on one side. This would obviously prevent the teams from coming up and competing with them”

He ended saying that he was very happy with the result.

“I am very happy as we played against the referee and New Radiant and won the match”

Tonight's win took Valencia to the second position of the eight team tournament, which is currently dominating IFC with three consecutives win in their bag. Only the top six teams will qualify to this year's Dhivehi League along with best two teams of zone 1-8.

freedom of expression involves 'absorbing' other's opinions. i am glad that some ppl agree with me and i also accept other's differing opinion. i think its good to have different opinions. i am enlightened by the opinions of my fellow commentors. Thanx guys. am getting to know more and more each time i write a comment and follow up on it. on the otherhand, I think this is a good opportunity to MS to improve their website through our comments. my special appreciation goes to MS team and other technicians working on this great website. this is by far, the most informative maldivian website i've ever browsed.
Xyf@h's : I know MS team is not paid to do this and i really do appreciate the hard work and most importantly the TIME they are spending on this. i wish them every success. should you need iF-Rey's assistance in anything, just let me know!!! cheerz! -iF-Rey-

well its not only the view of Eric, i too personally feel that maldivian refrees are biased. well u see, in the previous season we see all the refrees were favouring Victory, though u guys agree or not its what happened. and since the huge victory of Newradiant in AFC cup last year see now many refees favour them. if the refree wasnt favuoring them then on this match surely he would show some cards to new players n if he did like that then the match wont be so rough

First, i want to applaud MS for the hard work they are putting in to bring news about Maldives Football. You guys are not paid for it and you are doing this because of your love for the Maldive game.
Next, i support Olhaali Man and Soccer Dhurumi. Guys, whether u are a New Radiant fan or not, u have to believe it.
*New Radiant has the largest fan base in the country.
New Radiant has the best players in the country.
New Radiant has the proudest history that every other club wants
New Radiant is the best Maldivian club ever .....upto now.
So as Soccer dhurumi says, who would want to read about birmingham and Bolton, when Chelsea is in the news? New Radiant is the chelsea of the Maldives. Do you think that more people would want to read about New Radiant or Victory? The answer is obvious i guess. So dont just go and make a big fuss cos Valencia wont 1 out of 3 games against New Radiant. Who won the other 2? Did Chelsea win the FA Cup and CHampions league? but guess whos in the news? For some people, its hard to see what they dont want to see
Every big player in the Maldives wants to play for New Radiant, and thats not a surprise, is it?
Welldone MaldiveSoccer. Keep up your work, and dont go on covering more about division 3 football cos someone keeps posting more commments here. keke.
Cheers - Valencia Fan

BRING NEWS OF "NEWS MAKERS".M.S CANT WRITE THT VALENCIA OR VICTORY TOOK PART IN AFC CHAMPIONS LEAGUE.can they?this doent mean tht M.S hate VALENCIA OR VISTORY,OR Support NEWRADIANT.GO N SEE FAMOUSE SOCCER WEBSITE LIKE GOALS.COM.DONT YOU SEE MANY OF NEWS R FROM REAL MADRID,CHELSEA,ARSENAL ETC THOSE TOP LEVEL TEAM.ONLY FEW ARTICLES ON BIRMINGHAM.SO FACED THE TRUTH.M.S IS DOING GREAT JOB.=SOCCER DHORUMI

Numbers of Comments ,trying to prove tht FAM,REFREES,MATCH OFFICIAL,MS doing everything in favour of NEWRADIANT.
But did anyone who have written comments abt refrees biased to new have seen the penalty disallowd for obviouse handball commited by Valencia player.Most probably no one.b'cos all r against NEWRADIANT.
On de other hand refrees always demand for better protection,opportunites from FAM.But why dont they believe they r not doing so well.i have never seen any of refree feeling sorry after their msitsake on the pitch.i think FAM MUST INVOLVE REFREE'S ON NEWS CONFERENCING AFTER EVERYDAY'S MATCH.- Great Soccer Star
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no chance to argue tht refree is biased to newradiant.but as i do agree tht it was poor refreeing.the refree dis allowed obvious ,defenite penalty which newradiant must get.if the penalty was given the game would change on newradiant side.So there is chance to say tht it was poor refreeing,but refree was not biased to newradiant,but BIASED TO Valencia.
Eric was satisfied for nothing.Though valencia produced great result in de match he was still not satified with player's performance.So i think eric need to leran "how to satisfy" and FAM refree's need to do better refreeing.=Gadhdhoo Man=
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the players,team officials,match officials,supporters,n all others r doin hard work to improve maldivian soccer,but its sad tht sometimes only one side is favoured,i think all concerned authorities shud favour all equally...without tht equality it wud b hard to bring improvement...so think abt it...even if NEW RADIENT is favoured who cares...VALENCIA WON...n they will WIN AGAIN... :-D - Simon
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1st congrats valencia 4 the great win.. i think its too much just favoring new radient though they have great players in the team, refree + MS is favouring NewRadient too much ... n its too much.. but though MS favour new they are doing great work to bring up maldives soccer, so i thank them alot for the hard work they are doing ... :)
==majju==
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i also can agree that MS is publishing more of Newradiant, But it is the fact that Newradiant is performing well so they have to post more of   Newradiant.
Keep it up Ms u r doinng a good job
on the otherside "iF-Rey" should think that MS is doing a hard job by live webcasting each and everymatch
u have to appreciate their hard work - Xyf@h's
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this has been a big issue now..FAM has to do sumthin for this...newradiant isnt the national team...they get the hlp of the national coach n now they r gettin the help of referees...this is too much i think...but luk at newradiant they conceded more goals than huraa in the AFC cup..so think abt it...valencia coach has told the truth..referees nyd to improve if they want to improve the standard of the players in maldives....FAM needs to explain those things...hope M.Soccer wud got to them n get an explanation for us....
thanx - hassan

go MS go. ur doin a wonderful job. u can only bring the news of the headline makers. and thas NEW RADIANT !! sadly for some. its just a one loss, no worries NRSC, go abt ur job. NRSC is like chelsea in english football. evryone wants to beat u, and evryone's against u. so they make up these funny comments abt refrees and soccer websites thinking it will unsettle new radiant. that won' happen easily guyz.. they are the best. accept the truth - olhaaliman
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When 10-man Valencia beat New Radiant's 14 men (including the referee and 2 officials), is a great and a memorable achievement. I wonder how Valencia are gona thrash New Radiant if Valencia has 14 men on their side. I too agree that Maldives Soccer is supporting New Radiant. A frequent browser of MaldiveSoccer would know that. - Ali

IF-Rey said the truth.MS,plz have a thought on it. - efex

It's a pity that only recently did Mr.Williams came to know about referees favoring New Radiant. well, Mr.Williams. This happens on a regular basis. It has been institutianalized by the authorities (namely FAM and MoY&S). It's not only referees who favors NRSC. Sadly enough, this website (Maldivesoccer.com) also favors New Radiant and as you all readers can see, there are more news about New Radiant than any other teams. and when it comes to pictures, you would always find pictures of New Radiant players and coaches. (for example, take a look at the home page NOW. you can see pictures of Oppo, Niyaz and Dhagandey. lets see.. Oppo's picture is OK as it comes with his interview. however, as for Dhagadey's picture, the news was about the FA Cup final match where Victory played New Radiant. but Maldivesoccer preferred to put dhagadey's pic instead of a victory players perhaps. and in the news about the coaching programme, Maldivesoccer put Niyaz's picutre. but the topic is not only about niyaz being kicked out of the course.but the topic as i read it, was about the bad timing of the FAM activities.)
Ps. MS, I know you will not have the courage to face this truth and post this on the website.. but i request you to have a second thought on this issue. cheerz! :) - iF-Rey

Eric is a coach who doesn't apperitiate anything. Always insult players and now with the refrees... i have never seen a coach like this. - sunny
