I-League: We are not thinking about the title just yet, says David Robertson

PANAJI: David Robertson remembers the day he set foot on Kashmir soil. It was cold, dark and depressing. For someone who had spent most part of his coaching career in the United States and had options to choose his next club in China and Uganda, it was a courageous decision to take over

What would the Scottish coach really do in Kashmir, and that too at a newly-launched club with several handicaps?

“It was difficult (at the start). I had never been to India, let alone Kashmir. All over India, it was warm and hot, but here there was snow, power cuts. It was a very difficult start. After two days, I wanted to go home, but the owners persuaded me,” said Robertson, a former Aberdeen and Rangers left-back.

“We are not talking about the title. There are six games to go and some very difficult games. The Churchill game (on Thursday) will be very difficult. We travelled for a day and there is not much rest. If we are on course with two or three games to go, then we can start thinking,” he added.
