Saturday Night!

Well, it is quite boring. The reason for it is the lack of football on TV because of the international break. You, may ask me to watch the internationals then, but, this is India. You cannot expect to watch a game between Brazil and Argentina on Indian TV, unless it is a world cup match. Anyway, I've been reading a lot of stuff about Eduardo, Chelsea, SAF, etc. in newspapers recently and I can't say how much I'm annoyed by all of it.

Eduardo is pissed that he was the scape goat of a political game played by the UEFA and Michael Platini. There would not have been this much fuss about the incident if UEFA has made it a rule that, 'If a player tries to fox the referee, he will be serving up a two match ban!'. That did not happen. According to reports, UEFA said that this was the last case of it's kind and no other complaints will be entertained in the future.

I do not defend divers. This guy has returned from a serious injury to his ankle. He lost 18 valuable months of footballing life because of a careless and rash tackle. And, nothing has been done about it. The people who had cost some footballers their careers, are roaming free, to break some more bones. But, the one who tries to save himself from a repeat of such injury is branded a 'Cheat' and is now serving a 2 match ban.
It was a dead game! If you expect Celtic to win that match from 2 goals down(in their home leg) at Ashburton Grove, I presume that you have no logic at all.

Though I'm passionate about the game, I believe that, people's body parts are more important than a useless match. It is funny, how a person can be charged with assault if he breaks someone's leg in the real world and the same person would get away with it if he had 'intentionally'(not accidentally) tackled a player with that severity.

The cunning bastard Alex has backed the decision taken by the UEFA. He also said that it is because of players like Eduardo and the things they do on the pitch, a bad influence is being created on young footballers. Balls to you c*nt! Don't you remember the feather weights your team had in the past. C.Ronaldo(disgrace to the name of the god) and Van Nistelrooy are the most famous of them. The ugly, short and bald-headed as**o*e has made a statement, ' I never intentionally dived'. John Terry says that English players are too honest to dive intentionally. This statement itself shows the level of honesty their team has! Aren't Rooney and Gerrard English? One thing's for sure. England will not even make it to the semi finals of the world cup next year with this over-hyped team.

England's Jack Wilshere has supposedly dived to gift their team a penalty in their U-21 Euro Qualifiers against Macedonia. I like Jack. I don't know if he really dived, nor does the Macedonian team's coach. There is an article here. Why is the headline like that? Why can't it be, "England player dives to gift their team a lucky win against Macedonia." He is an Englishman, ain't he John Terry? What will be the case if he is picked for your world cup squad. What if he dives to win a penalty that will take you into the semis or finals? He will definitely be called a 'Wonder Kid'. No doubt. The state of the media is like that. Most people are very much concerned about results, rather than the way they are achieved. This needs to end and fast! I would like to see a day when a player kicks the ball to the corner flag, from the spot, if he was awarded a penalty by mistake by the referee. Mistakes are common, but not accepting them will lead to a lot of trouble.

Out of football now. Our chief minister Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy has passed away in a horrific Chopper crash. The main cause of the crash is believed to be bad weather conditions. The state mourned his death for two days and he was cremated yesterday. Though I do not personally like him, it has to be accepted that he was a great leader and politician. I hope his soul finds peace!

So, it's going to be another long week before football finally kicks off!
Till then, Bye and good night!
