Many to blame but Gill has to go first
by Lotiya Pathan on Mar 13, 2008 12:58 AM

This slimeball pu*n*k Gill has destroyed Indian Hockey in his last 15 years with Indian Hockey.

The shameless fart still doesn't want to resign when all other deputies of him already turned in their resignations. Gill has to be kicked out of the Indian Hockey.

Character - it applies to fans too
by MS on Mar 12, 2008 10:16 PM

The job of the fans is to help their team win but even in defeat they should continue to support their team. In India, we dont have this character - we get overjoyed when the team wins, we abuse them when they lose. Society should laugh at these fair weather fans.

Another point, we need sponsors for lower level games - like college games. Those are the ones who can do with facilities. Money will come anyway to the national players. This is another thing we can learn from the west.

we play the wrong way
by Prabhu on Mar 12, 2008 07:15 PM

the reason why we lose in hockey lies in the way we play the game. for a long time hockey had been the subcontinent game and when the europeans started playing they changed rules and surface to suit them, but we indians are still playing our old hockey. either we should have voiced our opinions when the rules were changed or now we should change the game to win. this is exactly the reason why the indian cricket team is winning. it was always an englishman game and we played and competed with them mich like the same way they did

BCCI may not be doing much to improve the infrastructure at the roots.. but atleast they pay n look after the team well..n given 5 star facilities n comfort.. irrespective of resuts..n that's important..
hockey also can easily provide the team with good comforts n facilities but the hockey administration is the worst..
if u give any player or team decent facilities n comforts.. they will deliver..

even the best or most talented team in any sport will fail if the administration treats its players like dirt..
a sports person needs respect n backing before anything else.. esp even more in hockey where players play out of pure love for the sport.. cause there is no money..

Umpiring
by Ajeet Singh on Mar 12, 2008 02:37 PM

The umpiring was indeed awful. GB players were given a green for a rough tackle, but our players were yellow carded for a clumsy tackle! We were denied PCS in both games against GB and conceded dubious ones.
However the fact is that we played very poorly in both games against tough opposition and we had no strategy apart from hopeless hits into the D. The coach is solely responsible for the lack of tactics. Really pathetic display and we deservedly beaten by the better team regardless of the usual, biased umpiring.

there is no harm if we lose. Show me one team in the world that has always won in any field of sport.The feeling that we have won is ephemeral and would only whet our longings for more. and this longing itself is a source of pain for the mind is in a state of unrest. ks

RE:HOCKEY SUCKS!!! BIG TIME!!

Indians play and like Hockey because it is our National Game and love for our Great Nation.Hockey is a sport being played around 115 countries in the world.It is not like cricket,which is being played only in 10-12 countries in the world out of 181 UN recognised countries in the world.What is great in Cricket? Is there any systmatic format in rules? (sometimes 20-20 or 50-50- or one team plays for 50 overs and opponent team plays 25 overs in the end some foolish umpires will decide who will be the winner.What a crazy and lazy Game?

hockey defeat
by FRANCIS ANAND on Mar 12, 2008 01:51 PM  | Hide replies

i think we should put the defeat back and concentrate on the future. I have seen the team play earlier at chennai and i firmly believe they are a hard working bunch who didnot fire when it required most.

my empathies with carvalho and team and definetly with the seniors like dilip , prabhot and igance who will miss out an olympic oppurtunity.

one thing good is the entire media is crying hockey and getting all the attention.

And like what tendulkar , ganguly and shah rukh has said give them the courage to do better now that the team is on a emotional low.

F.S.Anand chennai

You are right and that is the only way to go.
Hope the concerned people can promote our national game to offer career options to the next generation of dedicated players. Iam sure that Indian hockey will bounce back and do well in the near future.
