Hockey India lodges official concern over umpiring standard during Olympic match against Great Britain

| @indiablooms | Aug 05, 2024, at 05:32 am

Hockey India on Sunday raised concerns over the quality of umpiring and decision-making in the ongoing Paris Olympic Games 2024 after Amit Rohidas was shown a red card during the crucial match against Great Britain.

The Indian player was shown the red card during the 17th minute of the game.

In a statement, Hockey India said: " This is to inform you that Hockey India has officially raised concerns about the quality of umpiring and decision-making in the ongoing Paris Olympic Games 2024 (Men's tournament). The complaint focuses on a critical match between India and Great Britain, where several inconsistencies in officiating potentially influenced the game's outcome."

Key issues highlighted include:

Inconsistent video umpire reviews, particularly regarding the red card decision for an Indian player, which has eroded trust in the video review system.

Coaching of a goalkeeper from behind the goalpost during the shoot-out.

Use of a video tablet by a goalkeeper during the shoot-out.

Hockey India said it has asked for a thorough review of the matters to uphold the integrity of the sport and ensure fair play in future matches.

A ten-man Indian hockey side showed resilience and skill when they defeated Great Britain in a shoot-out to reach the semi-finals of the Paris Olympics here on Sunday.

India suffered an early blow when they were reduced to 10-man in the 17th minute of the game.

Despite the obstacle, Indian players displayed their courage and determination on the field and Harmanpreet Singh led from the front to give India the first lead in the match.

It was Singh's seventh overall goal in the tournament so far.

He scored the goal by converting a penalty in the 22nd minute of the encounter.

Great Britain scored the equaliser when Lee Morton netted one five minutes later.

The thrilling encounter remained 1-1 in the regulation time.

Displaying extraordinary efforts in front of the goal, the credit of India's 4-2 victory over the opponents in the dramatic match goes to PR Sreejesh's brave efforts in the showdown.
