Things are not as they appear - the cock and bull stories continues.... !!! While we appreciate the hard efforts and the sporting spirit of all involved in the Mini Indian football tourney organized by Gulf International - Dubai and the efforts put in for the comfort, hospitality and well-being of the teams (specially those of the visiting surrounding Gulf countries), it is with regret that we had to bring to the notice of all football lovers, organizers, etc. that among the invitees (before they boarded the flight to the Emirates), it was openly stated that the organizers are not up to the mark *Kitem re tea organizers..... ami ... taka sangla boroupak* .... and that a particular team had complaints before they even said goodbye to their families and friends. Goa-world.com team was verbally informed by a senior team manager Goan (sponsored by an oil company from North America) at the Al-Sour Grounds on Friday at 9:16 a.m. that they had already informed their sponsored representative (flown specially) to do the needful, i.e. to write something against the organizers when they themselves are hosts and are welcomed with kindness, almostly free !!!!. This is where the Goan crab mentality and sports - specially footballers (as well as the others) lose out! The Goan saying and rhyme 'ami bikari khorea, punn....... " goes a long way to justify that educating the down-trodden was indeed an ''error'' on the part of the Europeans who started the English medium schools in Bardez ? We are unsure what the anti-publicity for the organizers is in store once the tourney is concluded when the particular team from the region flys out of the Emirates !!! Before that good words and bombastic attitude (face to face) will be showered? As we, at goa-world.com, have on the Net mentioned about a decade ago, only the Almighty can save the Goans! Oxench zaum, zalear pur'ro! Will someone guess what the 'z' series guys are upto? AlmeidaG (pronounced Almeidaji) www.goa-world.com/credit/ www.goa-world.com/About_Goa/
