    @Arsenalkid700. Agree with you about the South Goa part but I think Churchill Bros should change the name to something  like "South Goa United"  and not Vasco.  One thing is certain that Churchill and Salgaocar have their fan base in south Goa.

    Over the past 2 years this is what I have learned about nationalism in Goa:

    1st stage: Its Goa and ONLY Goa.

    2nd Stage: Its North Goa! Its South Goa!

    3rd Stage: Its Panjim!!! Its Margao!!!


    Plz clarify the 1st stage.

    I have been following Indian football since 2007-08. I only really started pushing it in February 2010 when Chhetri signed for Kansas City Wizards. At first my only source for news was goal.com. Should I explain more? :)

    For those that still don't understand: Back then goal.com was at a very unreliable stage. They would give scores but very rarely would you get a match-report... you would be lucky to get the line-ups from goal.com and forget soccerway. They only reported goalscorers. 

    Anyway the old comment section on goal.com was the older version in which you don't need a facebook etc to comment. Just add a name and post. Back then the Kolkata vs. Goa rivalry was at its height on the goal.com comments section. Every comment section of every article would not have to do with the article. It was crazy. "KOLKATA!!!!!" "GOA!!!" You had the old clowns like "Mr. Goa" who would just shout non-sense and others who would also shout non-sense.

    So ya. Thats best I can describe it. From then on I started to discover new websites for Indian football and once I came on IFN it was a dream. The Goa vs. Kolkata stuff was dying down on here thankfully once I joined on. Never looked back.

    Forget it, i dont wont to get into bickering. I know it was a sarcastic jab at us.

    Anyways news from Goa TOI is that Rohan Ricketts is set to join some club in Equador called " Club Deportivo Quevedo"
    Also it says" Ricketts is being sounded out by a top Goan club to return to India for the next season. Initial contact has been established, the club owner confirmed. But Rohan's latest move could jeopardize the return to India".

    I think we all know which Goan club it is.

    > Haha i understand that post was more comedic but lets be serious. I do not mind the name of the team, its nice, but like at the city they are based in.

    Lots of questions unanswered.


    The name is actually one of its strengths... its called Shivajian after the iconic figure of Shivaji... Every marathi connects well with Shivaji, they feel very proud about him
