    yes..but the fun part was this...2010-11 - We want telecast, I cant know about the players coz shitty AIFF dont show us matches blah blah blah<div><br></div><div>2011-12 - Why not all games why only selected games are shown. Why kolkata/Goa clubs have preference, why news time bangla, why this and that...and then @#$@#%## AIFF.. F**** OFF</div><div><br></div><div>Then it turns out even then those who actually follow websites, maintain pages, even write articles watch say 5 matches the whole season, only when there's hype like - EB vs MB, Dempo vs EB/MB and few of same kind...</div><div><br></div><div>Then why blame Ten Sports, they are not doing too bad, initially they used to give Ads, they also brought Sunil in CL coverage (Sunil is no great as a match analyst) so that people know about him, they mentioned that next week sunil will play this and that game... I wont be surprised if they cut off more games next season. Also giving a regional channel is a great move coz News Bangla made sure all matches in kolkata (also Arrows) will be covered....maybe some Goa channel should also come up to cover all Goa matches</div>

Regional Channels. Here in the US every MLS match is on TV and I mean all of them (all 646 matches). ESPN does 1-2 matches per week and NBC Sports does 1-2 matches per week. The rest of the matches are covered by that teams regional TV partner. Of course if a team is on ESPN or NBC for a game then the regional broadcaster does not show the match as it is already covered on national TV. Next season I hope it is TEN Action +, News Time Bengla, and some Goa channel, then next season a Maharashtra channel and then NE channel etc.</font></div>

    Wow!!! Superb changes!!! Most of the points are already discussed. But the last point of having TPL news caught my eye. The effect of media on general public is unimaginable. Having shown news on premier news or sports channel would have superb effect on the minds and this would pull lots of crowd.

    Thai League is organised well but coming to fan following it is similar to I-League.This is something which AIFF has to learn instead of just promising every season.
  • the thai national team is itself very hard to beat, by these changes they might be in top 10 in coming years

    Whike I was reading about Thai league, one thing struck me. Till last year they allowed 7 foreigners in playing XI! Thats insane. And irrespective of that, their NT is doing quite well

    <br><div><br></div><div>very interesting to know that, also look how many english people play in an EPL club.</div> :( 
  • <font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">Thailand have it easier than India. They have more experience and a better federation that probably has more money, they can afford 7 foreigners.</font>
