Mohammedan officials at a press conference on Saturday alleged that referee Tayeb Hassan ruled out a 'clean' goal by Mohammedan's Nigerian striker Emeka against Muktijoddha for offside during Thursday's match and also 'wrongly' sent off the same player. The club officials also claimed that the referee denied Mohammedan from 'two penalties'.

Each participating team, however, had signed a code of conduct before registering for the inaugural professional league that they would abide by the tournament bylaws under any circumstances.

It is written in the Disciplinary Procedures section (law 8.7.3) of the bylaws that 'No club coach, player or official is entitled to publicly criticise the BFF, B. League, a referee or a referee's assistant in the media. This shall be deemed an offence and the offending person shall be dealt with by BFF.'

In the light of Mohammedan's breeching the code of conduct, the tournament committee of the B. League is expected to discuss the issue in it's next meeting within a couple of days.

It can also be noted that Mohammedan had also violated the bylaws when the Dhaka giants, who are only permitted to wear black-white and green-white strips this season, changed club colours to all blacks.

No change of club colours is permitted during a season according to the bylaws (law 3.3.).
