Now Hockey India has officially lodged a complaint in this matter. They have raised 3 special points in their complaint, due to which everything from umpiring to the British team seems to be embroiled in controversies.
Hockey India said in its complaint, ‘Hockey India has officially expressed concern over the quality of umpiring and decisions at the Paris Olympics 2024. The complaint focused on the important match between India and Great Britain in which there was inconsistency in umpiring which could have affected the result of the match.’
He has raised these 3 points in his complaint…
1. The video umpire took frequent reviews. Especially in the case of an Indian player being shown a red card, this has reduced the trust in the video review system.
2. A goalkeeper was coached from behind the goal post during a shoot-out.
3. A goalkeeper used a video tablet during a shootout.
Amit got a red card in the second quarter
The second quarter of the match was full of controversies. In the 17th minute of the game, Indian player Amit Rohidas got a red card. That means the Indian team played with 10 players for the remaining 43 minutes. Amit’s stick hit Will Kallan’s face. In such a situation, the German video umpire believed that Amit did this intentionally. In such a situation, the field umpire showed Amit a red card on the advice of the video umpire. The Indian players believed that this was not done intentionally. It would have been more appropriate if the video umpire had given a yellow card.
The Indian hockey team made a strong comeback despite the red card. Captain Harmanpreet Singh scored a goal in the 22nd minute of the game to put India 1-0 ahead against Great Britain. However, Great Britain soon equalized when Lee Morton scored a goal in the 27th minute. After this, no goals were scored in the remaining two quarters and the match went into a shootout. Sreejesh made many saves in this match.
