Celebration Moments

Badal Das a.k.a Badal da is an ardent Mohun Bagan fan and has been following the club since he was 12 years old. He is a floral decorator by profession but always makes time to watch his favorite team play. He has won the distinction of being the 'shera-dorshok' on five occasions.

We caught up with Badal da after Mohun Bagan went undefeated against bitter rivals East Bengal during the season.

Badal da, how do you feel after your team has got the better of East Bengal this season?

It is a great feeling. Would have been better if we had won the last match too but we were a player down for the last 15 minutes, so a draw was also a great result for us.

We saw a picture of yours with a 'shobuj-merun' chingri. How did you make it?

I made it especially for the East Bengal match. I used thermocol to make it and then painted it. I also made a boat once for the 'boro match' and took it to the stadium.

Which is the best Mohun Bagan match that you have seen?

The 5-3 victory against East Bengal was the best. In 1975 they had scored 5 goals against us and finally scoring 5 against them was like settling an old score.

Name five of the best players that you have seen in Mohun Bagan colors.

Barreto, Shishir Ghosh, Subrata Bhattacharya, Debjit and Prashanta.

Your friends Sachin and Bapi accompany you to the matches. Where all have you been to watch Mohun Bagan play?

I have been to Goa, Ludhiana, Guwahati, Delhi, Orissa and a few other places to support Mohun Bagan. Celebrating victories with friends is great but a loss makes us very sad. I find it hard to eat when we lose.

Have you seen the new team bus?

Yes, I think it's beautiful. There was no talk of a new team bus and it was a pleasant surprise for us when the bus came. The club did a very good thing.

What is your favorite chingri dish?

I like Chingri Malai Curry.

I like fishing. There are two ponds near my house and I can literally fish out of my window. I find it very relaxing.

Beach Football

Beach football, also known as beasal, is played on a beach or some form of sand. The game emphasises skill, agility and shooting at goal. Each team consists of five players, including the goalkeeper and an unlimited amount of substitutions, from a selection of 3 to 5 players. Throw-ins and kick-ins mean the pace and flow of the game is much higher than regular association football.

Futsal

Futsal is a variant of association football that is played on a smaller pitch and mainly played indoors. Futsal is played between two teams each with five players, one of whom is the goalkeeper. Unlimited substitutions are permitted. Unlike some other forms of indoor football, the game is played on a hard court surface delimited by lines; walls or boards are not used.

Street Football

Street Football requires at least three players and one goal. One of the players is designated as a goalkeeper. Players must try and score whilst stopping the other players from doing the same. Team play is optional, and any number of teams (or solo) players can take part.

Keepie Uppie

Keepie uppie is the skill of juggling with a football using feet, lower legs, knees, chest, shoulders, and head, without allowing the ball to hit the ground. One of the more famous displays of keepie-uppie was in the 1967 Scotland-England football match, where Scottish midfielder Jim Baxter juggled the ball for some time in front of the English defence, taunting them by keeping possession.
