Xtra Time[/caption] Kolkata: Mohun Bagan officials stand firm on their decision regarding the replay of Tollygunge match which was abandoned yesterday at the Mohun Bagan ground citing some inevitable circumstances in the Mohun Bagan ground. IFA is still waiting for the referee report and as soon as they get the referee report IFA will take a final call after discussing with the CFL league sub-committee. It may be tomorrow or day after tomorrow. IFA secretary, Utpal Ganguly said, " We have receive the letter from Mohun Bagan. We still have a couple days in hand before the next Bagan match. As soon as we receive the referee report, we will call a meeting with League sub-committee. But in the letter Mohun Bagan never mentioned about withdrawing themselves from the remaining part of the CFL." CRA secretary, Chitta Das Majumdar said, "We are mailing a letter to IFA which will have the referee as well as match commissioner report. I have personally seen the video footage. It is clearly visible that all the three goals which were dismissed are clear off-side and we have no doubt on that." Although, Mohun Bagan stood firm on their decision but Tollygunge Agragami has decided to send a letter to IFA mentioning that they will not play the replay match. Tollygunge secretary Subhankar Ghosh Dastidar said, "We will not play the replay at any circumstances." Meanwhile, East Bengal secretary on this situation mentioned, "We have to maintain the sequence and abide by the rules." While, East Bengal coach Trevor Morgan said, "It was tough for the referee to decide the off-side but if it was EPL, it could have been easier with the offside marker being used nowadays."
