Dear Netters,
Perhaps this is not the first time that Albert is expressing his sentiments on this net forum wrt a permanent football ground in Saligao. His concern is not out of place. Unfortunately his is a voice in the wildernest. Saligao has in the past produced some of the best talents in the field of football who went on to bring laurels to the State as well as at National and International level. Only two names that come to my mind of present day footballers who are in the top league are Denzil Franco, and Bibian Fernandes. It is rather sad that we don't read abt any Saligao youngsters striking it big in the football league in Goan football. One of the prime reasons could be the absence of a all season football stadium (when I say stadium, i don mean a one with a pavillion, but a standard ground with a good playing turf)available to the youth in the village. Most of the villages in Goa are scouting for young talents at school level. I do not know if there is any programme in youth development (football) at the Parish/village level. Saligao footballer Francis De Souza, presently SAI Coach could be roped in to pick youngsters and teach them the rudiments of football. Here in Vasco I am closely associated in supporting a boys under 14 football team with the Benfica Youth Club and its a pleasure to see the involvment of the parents too. Football in Goa is a big time sport and the cream of players emerge from Goan villages. Secondly, most of the villages in Goa now have their own football stadium developement of which is financially supported by the department of sports and youth affairs. One has to only provide the location and the local MLA has to pursue the matter with the Sports Ministry. It is rather surprising that so far the elected representative has not paid attention to the need of the hour. HOw long and for how many more years will the village youth depend merely on the fields during the off season to play their sport? A permanent and quality playfield is the need of the hour for bringing the young boys and girls back to the playground. It's no use seating in our drawing rooms and complaining our children are become more computer oriented rather than playing outdoor sports. Provide the infrastructure and see the change.

We had a very strong team in Saligao. Some of the players I still see them when I go to saligao.Blasco Fernandes, Atmaram Parulekar Late Bruno, Albert (not me 0 were some of the names I can remember. Today all the players are imported players .Where are our boys ? Our younger generation do not have any interest in sports except on computers. albert > Date: Sun, 11 Apr 2010 08:00:39 -0700 > Subject: [SALIGAONET] Re: Spam messages still on this Net? > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > > Hi Annette, There was a problem 2-3 days ago, or earlier.
