India's 83 million
football fans are a
testament to a sport
rapidly on the rise
across the
subcontinent
Despite such
grassroots support
however, India's
national team ranks
146th globally
Experts blame poor
international exposure
and bad management
for the state of Indian
football
AFC and FIFA are trying
to improve the game
by injecting funding
for infrastructure(CNN website)My question is how much percentage of this money will go in the big pockets of the officials?
I really don't see any connection between this and Pradeep abusing AIFF. <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->
Hey Jose the question you are asking on CORRUPTION in no way related to the incident. We(those who are supporting AIFF in this incident) know that AIFF is not squeaky clean in some respects and the new members need some time to shake off this image. We also donot agree always with all of their decision(example the MANNER in which Bob was sacked although I wanted Bob to be sacked a lot earlier). But respect is earned only by giving others respect and the manner in which Bob was sacked deserve none but to insult AIFF in such words is not a good example. He was an international player and for that reason he needs to be extra careful. Other National team players also opposed but they kept it in reserve. Answer me this if you are in an office and boss gives a promotion to less desrving candidate would you insult your boss like this?
As you have mentioned that N.P. Pradeep is a player of repute so why didnt the AIFF take these players into confidence before sacking Bob (or forcing him into resignation). Anyway what Pradeep said was out of frustration & anger. This clearly shows how much he loves his football & coach. Anyway i cant make you understand why i feel Pradeep was right, i appreciate your viewpoint & i stick to mine. (In a lighter vein: Pradeep just used the F*** word, but there are thousands like me who wish to literally put it into action) <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has asked National Team midfielder N. P. Pardeep to show cause for abusing the AIFF on a social networking website. Pradeep has been asked to give a written explanation by May 11 and present himself at the Football House on May 16.
N.P. Pradeep has a great opportunity now to say the F*** word directly on their face on May 16.(just joking) <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s -->
Now i m not joking i seriously want Pradeep to say the F*** word directly on their face & p put it into action too after the Vasco fiasco.

I see you are still pretty upset about the lajong incident.
Upset is a too lenient word. I wished i was in N.P.'s place today. I cant describe it what i would have done. The entire censor board members at IFNF would have been scratching their head by now even to release a fraction of my description. <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->
N.P. Pradeep has to say he didn't say anything!!!!
The Committee also decided that National Team midfielder NP Pradeep should publish an advertisement in a National Daily (all editions -- at his own cost) making a disclaimer that he has not posted any derogatory comments on any Social Networking Website and also apologise for any disregard caused to the AIFF and its officials.
