Kalyan Chaubey's remarks will hurt morale of referees: Ex-FIFA referee

Gautam Kar, former AIFF head of referees, said the outburst of federation president Kalyan Chaubey would hurt the confidence of the referees officiating Indian Super League (ISL) matches.

“We can’t hide behind the mask of the ‘acceptable 15% human error norm’… I urge you all to look at these incidents from the emotional investment of the fans and the financial investment of the clubs….” Chaubey said in an AIFF release on Monday. 

But reacting to Chaubey's statement, Kar, a former FIFA referee, said, “It will hurt the morale of referees to some extent."
