Regarding operating from Kanteerava, I agree, when the city has football specific stadium, JSW should develop and use it. If anyone is not developing infrastructure, I'm against them.
Agree 100% with @namewtheld. He had said previously that IFN is one of those forums where Admin intervention is minimal but the admins have never hesitated to take strong steps including banning when people had crossed their limits time and again. The conduct of certain members certainly need a review
This is becoming a German diplomatic forum. I bet most of these so called "guardians of IFN" never go to a stadium. Ban the free speech and you are nothing but the system. Give it due time, just like BB all the allegations against SC will turn true as well.
Everyone here knows that freedom of speech is not absolute; it also carries certain duties and responsibilities and is subject to certain restrictions for respect of the rights or reputations of others. I guess that accusing someone without providing proper proof or facts is tantamount to libel or slander and can invite legal action against the person making such an accusation. I know that this will bring out the usual retort that this forum is regulated by certain agencies and no one would like to endanger himself by giving away his sources. It might well be so, but then if the so-called "guardians of IFN" are guilty of never going to a stadium, then the so-called rebels for the sake of Indian football are equally guilty of simply sabre-rattling under the cloak of a pseudonym in an online forum. If they have the interests of Indian football so much at heart, they can raise their voice against this endemic corruption in several other ways like filing cases/PILs in courts against such irregularities, writing letters in newspapers and other media detailing such cases backed up by facts and figures. I believe that is a far more effective way to purge the system of its irregularities.
Your thoughts and beliefs are as good or bad as mine, based on perceptions of people. As I said, just like BB's association with Football Edge was exposed leading to his fall from grace same will happen with certain others, everything has their time and place. Till then sabre rattling by the rebels indeed. This is a forum for football, used to be frequented by football fans who would actually watch matches, have lively discussions which would be heated at times for sure, because football evokes passion. End of the day, I know where my loyalties are, to my country and club. Nothing else is bigger, no individual however glorified he may be. If there is malice, some voices will always raise, a few of those voices will sound harsher than others, deal with it and stop whining.
You have not contradicted any of the points I raised above. I have no doubt that this a forum for football, and I have never objected to arguments and counter-arguments and passion. I myself have been a part of some of these arguments, and though I have enjoyed many of the facts put forward by the members, I have always objected to personal attacks and derogatory language. If your loyalties are to your country and club, do defend them by all means, but do them based on plain, unvarnished truth, not by your "thoughts", "perceptions" and "beliefs", because, however, well-meaning you or I might be, they could ( I do not say with certainty that they will) might turn out to be wrong. At the end of the day, we are all human beings, aren't we? If you read my posts, you will surely agree that like all the members, I hold no brief for any individual/agency and have always criticized them whenever there has been any suggestion of wrong-doing.
Raising voices against any crime is the essential condition of a human being with spine. However, I will continue to say that accusing anyone without substantial proof is wrong and someone doing so is not only injuring another person but doing a disservice to his country, club or whomsoever he is loyal to. If that is "whining", so be it. I am afraid some people will have to deal with it.
As I stated twice now, facts and evidences will roll out to the public when the time is right. Till then voices will be raised, I dont need to furnish any evidence to protest against malpractice, I am free to do that and you are free to dismiss these as rants, false allegations or whatever term you may see fit. In India, a person is innocent unless proved guilty, I am well aware of that fact. The anonymous nature of the internet gives us power to actually raise voice against the powerful, I am not ashamed to state it.

I don't think any matches in Northeast will go on for a while now.
