Indian - Men's Hockey Team?

I recently heard that India is thinking of scrapping their Men’s hockey team?

If they do this, could their ladies team be allowed to compete in Men’s international tournaments? I would welcome this development, especially if their women’s team, unlike their men, can compete against the likes of Pakistan, Germany, Netherlands, Great Britain, Argentina, Malaysia Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Russia etc.

Having read Ehsan bhai's thread about Pakistan hockey, I have a suggestion for the Indian hockey federation. Rather than India scrapping it's men's hocket team, maybe they can get some of the eves to coach them.

I have the same suggestion for them as well Get some Indian Eves to coach Paki Hockey team so that they dont have to celebrate any more BLACK DAYS

‘Black day for Pakistan hockey’ x4

ISLAMABAD: Unable to come to terms with the shocking 1-7 defeat to New Zealand in the men’s hockey event of the Commonwealth Games, former players and experts called for wholesale changes in the Pakistan national team on Sunday.

Former stalwarts descri-bed it as a “black day in Paki-stan hockey” and blamed the Pakistan Hockey Federation for packing the team with “old and worn-out players.”

“It is not only unbelievable, but shameful too,” said former captain Rasheedul Hassan. “Had Pakistan lost to Australia, it was understandable, but a 7-1 thumping by New Zealand is a disgrace. It is time that the PHF chiefs should quit. It is a black day for Pakistan hockey,” Hassan was quoted in The Dawn newspaper. “They should have gone for youth rather than
banking on the likes of Kamran Ashraf and Ahmad Alam.”

Former Olympian Hanif Khan also took a swipe at the PHF. “It is disgusting, disgraceful, a catastrophy. It all happened because of these old hats who must be axed and replaced with youth.”

Atleast we qualified and made it this far… What about you? Cant even get in… hahaha and may I remember how your team fared in the world cup :hehe: where the Indian coach said that only a strong team like India could defeat a team like India… :hehe:

The only good player in Indian hockey team is Dhanraj Pillay..the rest are bunch of pathetic losers

Asif_K I would appreciate if you don't use Paki.
I know you are trying to anger guppies here but please don't do it.
As we all have embarassing names for Indians as well.

Munnay, You qualified for 2002 Commonwealth games, but in 1998 games Your Team didn’t qualify and our team did. Commonwealth games format is such that they can have only one team from Asia and this time it was Pakistan (And last time it was India).

About the world Cup Performance - You are talking as If you Won it. :slight_smile:

You should read first two posts of this thread and then talk. Also stop pretending like a saint, go ahead and use whatever names you want to use (As If you dont use already).

Thinks for a moment, scratches his head, thinks again, says never mind, and goes back to reading the article about the glorious victory by Indian women hockey team and what could be done to revive Indian Mens hockey?

Atelast we got a position worth mentioning, have a look at your team LOL 10th or 11th, LOL and that too from a coach who was saying this team was unbeatable...

Grow up Asif and stop posting irrelevant stuff and making personal attacks. If you cant discuss anything rationally then dont post. To take one match randomly and post here does not make any sense. Others can post also where your team lost. So make sure you post relevant stuff otherwise it will be deleted.

Ehsan.

Asif_k - From your posts you seem to be an Indian.

Well so am I.

However, is this continuous bickering the only way to debate an issue?

As an Indian you are only waiting for a Pakistani Individual or Team to lose just because every Pakistani also wants every Indian Individual or Team to lose.

Can we not grow up and instead of using derogatory terms like Paki and Indi etc. etc. carry out a friendly debate.

I am singling you out as you are, like me, an Indian and I hope you will not take it amiss.

May be we should grow up and start complimenting each others' Country of Domicile.

Why not start a Thread where the Pakistanis can describe the good things in India and the Indians can describe the good things in Pakistan?

You could also start a thread descibing the achievements of each country in the Manufacturing, Transport, Educational etc. Fields rather than point out how many non-Muslims have been killed by Muslims in Pakistan and How many non-Hindus have been killed by Hindus in India.

Life is too short to keep hating others and start supporting each other.

This business of Bander Boley Meri..... should be stopped.

Good Luck

Bodsurti :k: :k:

Welcome to Gupshup

Thanks for showing me that not all Indians are mentally challenged :slight_smile:

Hope you have a nice time here.

Only a retard can start a thread like this Betting in Cricket

Bdsurti - I know who you are. Even If I take your advice and start a thread on Paki achievments - Some Idiot will come and abuse India and Indians in that thread as well. Do you wanna give it a try ??

atleast indian women have a team. for their pakistani counterparts, sports is still all about who rolled the maximum rotis for dinner. poor things.

Indeed. What fantastic rotis they make too. Nothing beats a good roti with some good meat dishes, allowing the fast bowlers to perform (on the cricket pitch that is).

Yes, same rotis make their batsman so fat that they convert Ones to zeros and 2s/3s to ones while batting.

Thanks for the great reply Asif_K. We look forward to the same in the near future.

In addition to the rotis, dont forget to add an appropriate portion of meat :)

:hehe: :hehe: :hehe:

bdsurti you made me rethink about indians.

oh well nice to know you and welcome to the gupiland.

Asif_K - No Sir, you do not know who I am.

For the Record I am an Indian Hindu, but, that does not mean that I should automatically hate all Muslims - especially the Pakistanis.

Life is too short and without preaching all I expect is decent conversation without demeaning the other party.

It makes me wonder that most of our Pakistani friends consider that Indian Hindus hate Muslims and Indian Muslims Hate Hindus to the extent that whenever an Indian Team plays Pakistan or any other Country then the Indian Muslims will automatically cheer the Non-Indian Team. IMHO nothing could be further from the truth.

Asifji, your posts are quite informative and I compliment you for your knowledge.

May be we Indians - both Hindus and Muslims for my surname of Surti could be Hindu, Muslim or Parsee - on this forum can create a little bit of understnading between the two people, an act which our leaders seem to be uncapable of, by being at least polite and decent in our posts. If the Pakistanis on this Forum keep on abusing India and the Indians do not retaliate then I am sure the Pakistanis will reach the conclusion that all their abuse is of no value. Q.E.D.

Let not our leaders succeed in creating hatred between the two people simply for the continued benefit of our Leaders - both Indian and Pakistani.

You will appreciate that in Wars between our two Nations only the likes of you and me, and similar Pakistanis, will die - NOT THE LEADERS.
