[Goanet] Fwd: Victorino nets hat-trick in Sporting Clube de Goa victory

2014-09-14 Thread Sporting Clube de Goa
*Victorino nets hat-trick in Sporting Clube de Goa victory*


 Victorino Fernandes netted a superb hat-trick in the opening 32 minutes as
Sporting Clube de Goa cruised to a 3-0 victory over Calangute Association,
in a round four match of Gfa’s Goa Pro League at Duler Stadium, Mapusa on
Sunday. The Flaming Oranje led 3-0 at the interval.

Sporting Goa’s Victorino was handed his first start of the season and
rewarded the fans with the first hat-trick of the Goa Pro League, with
three well executed goals which took his tally for the season to five and
puts him on top of the scorer’s charts.

The match took a sour note in the closing stages when the Sporting Goa
Coach Oscar Bruzon was told to exit the bench by the referee after taking
his protest too far with the fourth official, regarding on offside decision.

Sporting Goa raced into the lead after just four minutes when Victorino
wonderfully controlled a long threw ball from Rahul Kumar, before lifting
the ball over the defenders head and burying it into the bottom corner.

Eight minutes later a bouncing ball from Rahul was again collected by
Victorino and this time he lobbed the ball over the outrushing goalkeeper’s
head.

As the game progressed, Sporting Goa continued to grow in confidence and
Beevan D’Mello sent in a delicious pass for Victorino who managed to give
two rampaging Calangute defenders the slip and nail the ball into the back
of the net.

Late on, Victorino received a nice reception from the large crowd as he
left the field to be replaced by substitute Boima Jerry Karpeh.

The victory gives Sporting Goa their first win of the season and takes
their tally to 5 points from four matches, while Calangute remain on a
single point after the same number of games.

Re: [Goanet] A Goa Referendum

2014-09-14 Thread Santosh Helekar
Which political party or mass separatist movement in Goa is demanding such a 
referendum? As far as we know, only a few stray internet characters, all of 
whom are foreign citizens with an anti-India mindset are ranting about this. I 
doubt anybody in Goa takes them seriously.

For comparison see this website of the Quebec separatist party:

http://www.pq.org/

They are demanding a proper referendum to secede from Canada and form their own 
independent country.

There are several separatist parties in Scotland. Here is the website of the 
biggest one of them:

http://www.snp.org/

Contrast this to the situation in Goa. The few foreigners who want separate Goa 
from India will likely be regarded as jokers by most Goans living in Goa today.

Cheers,

Santosh

 India needs to correct a historical wrong committed in 1961, by asking the 
 Goan 
 people to determine their own destiny even if it is 53 years later. Goa was 
 not 
 of the Portuguese to give nor of the Indians to take. 
 
 To accept the political and geographical reality, the referendum  should be 
 on 
 the following question:
 
 Should Goa determine its own independent economic future subject to India's 
 defence and foreign affairs control allowing it to enforce its own borders 
 and 
 laws separate from the Indian constitution.
 Yes or no.
 
 The arguments against it this time will be:
 No one wants a separate Goa.
 The current generation know nothing else but being part of India.
 Goa will lose out on India's economic boom.
 
 To this I have the following answer. 
 Then why not let the people confirm this while giving yourself a chance to 
 regain the high moral ground.
 
 Are you afraid of the will of the people of Goa?

[Goanet] THE ROAD AHEAD FOR SANJIT RODRIGUES

2014-09-14 Thread Aires Rodrigues
Sources in Srinagar have confirmed that Sanjit Rodrigues did arrive there
on August 25th around lunch time by Air India Flight No 866 which arrived
from Goa via Delhi.


By the way Sanjit Rodrigues’s encounter and ordeal with the floods there
may actually be for him a blessing in disguise. With his over five year
experience as Managing Director of Goa State Infrastructure Development
Corporation (GSIDC), the jack of all trades and the man of all seasons may
be the right person Kashmir desperately needs at this crucial juncture to
rebuild its now devastated infrastructure from scratch.


But unlike Goa those bridges and buildings would have to be without cracks
and crevices besides being terror proof. And there would be also no room
for manipulation and moolah like it has been flowing at the GSIDC.

Re: [Goanet] Goa Question of The Day: Stand-up comedian/enne

I know of Chrystal Gomes, of Toronto and Tanzania who did not let MS define 
herself.

She was aired on a few national programs of various broadcasters and performed 
at several Goan and other functions in this city.

She might not have the reputation of Russell Peters but would have been, while 
still active, at the stage where RS was 5 years before he achieved fame in the 
USA.

One doesn't hear of her these days but hope she is still fighting fit.

[Goanet] PE. JOSEPH VAZ SAINTHOOD FOR GOA OR SRI LANKA?‏

2014-09-14 Thread Domnic Fernandes













Dear Stephen,
Don't you think we should have posed this question when he was declared Blessed 
in Sri Lanka? What about Mother Teresa who is of Albanian origin but was 
declared the Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta and will be declared the saint 
of Calcutta, India?   
Domnic FernandesGaumvaddi, AnjunaMob: 8805237604Regarding the topic of 
Sainthood for Pe Joseph Vaz who is a Goan by birthor a Indian, we Goans must 
try and pray that he gets the Sainthood as aGoan identity, although he did lots 
of work in Sri Lanka which comeslater. Always for a person is indicated its 
place of birth when he/she isborn in that particular country for such 
decisions.Now let us take for example a particular case where a mother gives 
abirth to a child in the mid air or sea, say in international Lat/Longpositions 
so the person get his/her birth certificate as a special case asInternational 
birth certificate as that place can be called as a neutralcountry. Therefore 
our Pe.Joseph Vaz when he is born in Goa I suppose heshould be declared as a 
Saint of Goa origin and not Sri Lanka.. Many vestedinterest groups may say 
different stories and claim that he should beproclaimed as Saint of Sri Lanka 
which I do not agree. Modi and GoaGovernment should make efforts to take up 
this matter in consultation withour Indian/Goan Catholics religious 
orders/groups and with the Papal inRome and impress upon them that this 
Pr.Joseph Vaz is a Saint from India(GOA) and the sainthood should be named as 
Goan Saint.I am sure more information in this matter will be elaborated and

[Goanet] Goa referendum

2014-09-14 Thread Ignatius Fernandes
Who would be eligible to vote in this referendum. Goans who live in Goa or all 
the Goans in diaspora who have a connection to Goa.
Will the new Goans (ghanttis) also have a vote?

Congrats to the 'Advance research' by Hon'Andrew... very interesting



as for my research .its not going any whereI am not getting any 
co-operation from the Velliapura royal family which makes me think as to 
what could be the reason for this '...under the rabbit ears' attitude towards 
this issue. Keeping aside the regional card or the allegation of thief and 
robbery  and absence of law enforcing authority in the Velliapura royal site I 
will get back to this matter. First let me open a discussion  here on Goanet, 
could be the Catholic church bring in some dispute with the Velliapura family 
for still harbouring this, will the long arm of the church come after this 
family with some motion of censure (write to me here on Goanet or privately to 
my email pls.)

let me put before Goanet readers. Velliapura site is an important place in 
Roque Santana history along with his father he held several secret meetings 
planning his contribution to Goan freedom struggle, it have been brought to my 
notice that during the freedom struggle young Roque Santan with his associates 
in pre liberation times use to disappear from Portuguese surveillance and  
cross over into Karnataka and spend time with this pilgrims families and used 
this foreign borderline villages as launching grounds for his attacks on the 
Portuguese Rule. After Liberation of Goa he made the announcement for early 
Goan Democracy from this Velliapura site and with the  declaration of election 
he was approached by the people of Ambelim to contest as their representative. 
Many centuries earlier Velliapura site served as a Southern Capital 
headquarters for many Goapuri Kadamba Kings and many events recorded in history 
about Velliapura.

After the sudden passing away of Roque Santan in Jan of 2007 while on a visit 
to United States of America. After his cremation in Brooklyn NY, the Urns 
containing his mortal remains where flown in this country of  his birth, India 
and the land he loved, Goa by his family and laid to rest along the memorabilia 
of his royal ancestors as per his wish in the Velliapura royal compound, at the 
hands of the then Goa Chief Minister Mr. Digambar Kamat, the following December 
a rival group of Haliyal hereditary workers different from Upadia/Nilkant Sah 
combine during their visit to Velliapura cracked open the marble tabernacle and 
opened the Urns and managed to take away what ever they could. This pilgrims 
mostly come from  four groups of Uttara kannada,  namely  Gonds, Halakis, 
Havyak and Siddis. With no presence of law enforcing authority around an aide 
brought this matter to  the notice of the grieving widow AnaEmerita in tears in 
a spurt of anger was heard
 saying to the group to leave the Urns alone and take away the rest and worship 
where ever they want and left the compound. The ancient foot long Kannada stone 
inscriptions and the rest of the antiques were part of the worship area there. 
Later when the Upadia/Nilkand sah combine appeared the flowing year they were 
charged of thief and robbery for important ancient antiques which went missing 
following their last years visit and having denied access to genuine pilgrims, 
their dirge, an outburst, but fortunately for us ' the secrets of Velliapura' 
were known to the outsiders.

As gathered from the available history the Kadamba sovereigns were hailed and 
worshiped as 'Dharma Maharajah' or as 'Kadambarasa' meaning supreme or Gods or 
Godly or sovereign, the members of this hereditary coterie visit Velliapura 
royal site to pay homage to this ancient place and call themselves 'Pilgrims'. 
Roque Santana during his life time like his father received all of them who 
came across the ghats and reciprocated love and respect to this pilgrims here 
in Velliapura. 

Karnataka Government hold a 3 day festival  every December in Banavasi to 
celebrate  the memories of glorious Kadamba Kings and invite all the subjects 
of now Kadamba commonwealth, from the ancient Kadamba Kingdoms of Bayalnad, 
Bankapur, Uchchangi, Nagarkhanda, Kalinga, Belur, Hangal and Goapuri, the area 
which were governed by Kadamba Raviverma Deva  is today divided into  parts of 
Maharashtra, Andhrapradesh, Madhyapradesh now Chhatisgrah, Kerala, Tamilnadu 
and State of Goa and Karnataka. If there is an invitation or not Goa being the 
part of the common wealth, Goa Government should send a cultural troop to 
Banavasi for the festival every December.

Unable to get any information, my open question along with the Kadamba Coterie 
disciples, to the Velliapura royal family is what went missing from the royal 
compound? What is happening with regards a ' meet' ? between the aging members 
of the coterie disciples  and the 42nd successor to founder of  the Kadamba 
Hangal reign, Mr Sanjay eldest son of Roque Santan wouldn't this news be 
interesting...

Don't you think we should have posed this question when he was declared

but was declared the Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta and will be declared

Very good point, Dominic.

One way of looking at it is this: What was he beatified for (same for
Sainthood): For his Birth (in Goa) or For his Work (in Ceylon/Sri Lanka)?
