A Telegraph picture Calcutta: The drum-beating fans were there, the security was fool-proof, East Bengal players warmed up and took the field at the Kalyani Stadium. East Bengal's arch-rivals Mohun Bagan went AWOL and the CFL Premier Division Derby clash became a poor advertisement of Indian football. Referee Banerjee and the East Bengal players waited for 30 minutes before Banerjee left the pitch. This Derby win is the only win I will try to forget as early as possible. Senior pro Gurwinder Singh said it was an insult to the Mohun Bagan players.
