It's about time to teach FIFA a lesson

Following yesterday's dramatic events at Paris,there was a worldwide outcry for a replay to be played but FIFA,the so called world governing body to the game has let many Irish and neutral fans down by rejecting the proposal for a replay to the play-off games.
The incident which took place during extra-time saw France's captain and Barcelona striker,Thiery Henry delibaretly handling the ball to stop the ball from going out and then tapping the ball for a second time  before assisting defender,William Gallas to score the equaliser that confirmed France's place at next years World Cup finals at South Africa.

The Irish who were down 1-0 at aggregate scored the only goal during normal time trough striker,Robbie Keane.Hard done by a deflected goal at Dublin,they started the game strongly and were fairly credited with the goal.Much of the same during the second half,but the Irish couldnt put the game to bed when first,Damien Duff failed to convert his chance followed by Robbie Keane later on.The equaliser meant all the efforts and the positive football played by them have gone to waste as the cruel reality of the game has taken its victim yet again.The reluctance of FIFA president,Sepp Blatter to allow video technology to be used at games meant the reputation of the game has suffered yet again.The reasoning which were given was because it will delay the flow of the game.Many football fans worldwide will surely prefer to wait a little while longer than to be outdone by cheats in the game.

With this incident,Thiery Henry which was once reverred as the most proffesional and complete footballer by many including me has tainted his image and will forever be remembered as a cheat,who helped his arrogant yet naive country to the World Cup Finals.As for me,I feel termendously sorry for the Irish fans,especially to the many who painted themselves green and travelled to Paris for the game and also for the millions other who love the beautiful game,as yet again another ugly footballer managed to put the game to shame.Together with this,all respect I ever had for Henry has gone as it did with Maradona .Finally to FIFA,who have often been a enemy of the game rather than protector and the political dummies who handle it,its about time to be practical and introduce Video review and Goal Line Technology (GLT) as I would prefer my country to be out of the World Cup rather than being there as cheats.
Au revoire.

Two cents,anybody?

Ever since I could think,it's been in my mind.How life really works?Does it follow a pattern or whether the randomness in which it occurs have a pattern too?The thing with life is,no matter how hard we try to put it in a a familiar sequence,it doesnt have any direction.Rather than being a train that has a path set out for it,the truth is,its more like a plane,free to go in any direction and the only guarantee is,there are ups and downs.Since the very moment we take off,we have been held back by safety bealts,and troughout the journey,we are free to do whatever we want yet the thing is,its easy said than done.


Though many of us proclaim that we carve out the roads of our destiny,it is just not that way.Our education has been carved out,our studies have been pre-set and the enviroment is pre-determined in which we are supposed to be somebody or a thing which are our elders wants us to be.Many parents forget the most instrumental value of all in the hunt for other higher more valuable values for their kids.The basic human values.Im not asking you to pull the chair for a lady to sit down,or bow down to say thank you.All I wish to see more in people,is of the most basic values which are fundamental to the making of a proper complete person.Trough the observation of my eyes,many around us these days just lack in human qualities.No body cares to care anymore.What are you instead of who are you is asked more often?


Same goes to most religious people,claiming to be the people of God,these people represent the very same opposite of what they believe.I should say most,not all but sadly almost all of them who I have seen are such.Taking into example is this guy I know who looks as holy as a Dalai Lama but yet could be as arrogant and cold in person that it makes u twitch to know a double faced imposter.Where are we going with this kind of people?Do we need them?and when I critisize humans,its these people who I mean.Those who dont have any values in them,of integrity,honesty,respect,gratefulness,none is presence.Such are these donkeys that would put the donkeys to shame.


And again,I am not talking in the moment or expressing any kind of hatred to anyone by writing this.Just the kind of thing that has been dwindling in mind and itching at the tip of my fingers to type out.Good night people,and for the love of God,dont make me embarassed to be one of you guys,live'it up!
Good night fake world!
