In FIH circles, England and now NZ present how to game the rankings first and then climb to decency. The story is remarkable to be engineered to our benefit. Pak-e-satan's presence in the "top-6" lineup (visa nonsense, what else?! even if we gave them a WCH visa, but that wont matter anyda...

SAFF is just such a grand nonsensical h&d event, you gain nothing if you win, you lose it all if you lose. May be the new coach was defensive? That said, what happened to Colaco, why is there Madeira in charge now? Was Colaco a one-event quickfix by AIFF in the post-Houghton fluidity?

Stan_Savljevic

Just did a calc on the FIFA rankings of the team. Wont climb to past 159 from 162 with this SAFF win. Best is 156 if some 3 teams shed points simul. Points go from 119 to 131 when the Dec 21 update will be there. Gone are those 130 days which in itself was sick and deplorable for a continent sized c...

Technically, as per the lease terms, the 999 year lease can be extended to another 999 year lease if TN wants

. Or that is my reading of the KL whine profile.

If the TN rep is not paid by TN to keep his job then who is. I do not think IIT faculty are paid by GoKL to do theirs, project funding source withstanding. Nonsense, the KL representative is paid by his state govt. The TN representative is paid by the TN govt. There are legal experts as well as tec...

Bade, IITD and Roorkee studies were funded by the Kerala department of Irrigation. I posted the grant numbers in one of the pdfs posted in the rehash of this episode. Having a TN representative in a team that makes a visit for inspection and that are ==? What kinda logic is this?

Stan_Savljevic

Dileep, not one drop of water "paki" comments by Vai Ko etc. have a precedent: R Balakrishna Pillai of the Kerala Congress (B), a founding constituent of the ruling United Democratic Front, once declared in the State Assembly when he was the irrigation minister, “Kerala will not give a dro...

What has this to do with the MP issue? I don't get it. I am not SCM, so, if you want to make a point please do it clearly.

Let me throw one more datapoint which I found somewhere else. Idukki and nearabouts has provided sanctuary for the maoists who want to make/create an agrarian crisis to push their own agendas.

Stan_Savljevic

Let me paraphrase what all I have heard here... There is no trust on the highest Court of the land because one Rajan Pillai episode happened. There is no trust on the CWC cos they are bribed from TN's warchest and they take the hospitality of TN government, which Kerala cant match. There is no trust...

The distancing of karuna faction ...

Stan_Savljevic

In the Extra Time, reminiscent of India’s loss to Malaysia in Guangzhou Asian Games 2010, India came close to losing the match by a Golden Goal, at least thrice. A one-on-one save by Sreejesh, a clear by Sardara against Malaysian Rizwan and a foiled penalty corner with 3m to spare, was the saving g...

Stan/Theo: I have a simple question for you guys. Why are TN parties hang on to this 999 year contract and treat it so sensitively? Shyam, you should take a look at the SC judgment of 2006 that I posted a while back. All your remarks were made by Kerala and all were dismissed. The SC gave a verdict...

Stan_Savljevic

Shyam, the crudeness of the propaganda machinery is such that someone has edited the wikipedia entry of Achutha Menon saying that his biggest crime was to sign an amendment to the 999 yr lease. Seriously?! Duh.... I saw the entry like a week back and that part was not there. For his part, all bios m...

Vai Ko is often an idiot, forget his nonsense on "not a drop of water". I know you cant, but ground realities are messed up. When Cauvery dries up, and no water comes from the tribunal award, reality looks like there is not a drop of water. When people say "nadandhaai vaazhi kaveri&qu...

That is what the Kerala Govt is saying now - that there are clauses by which they can withdraw from the agreement, if it is not followed in letter and spirit (I haven't read the agreement, so no way to verify). That is not how you can withdraw from agreements. You go to the Supreme Court and contes...

Stan_Savljevic

You mean to say that, TN has to re-negotiate with Kerala now. I dont have an issue if it is safety, lets sit down and re-negotiate, but I have an issue if it is ownership. What if Kerala gives a guarantee, but the construction of the new dam and the implementation of the agreement is such that the s...

Stan_Savljevic

If safety is the issue, that is ok. TN will come around. It better. That is only rational to an irrational sticking point. Some sticking points remain on the "assurances" given on water. Let me ask them. 1) What is the guarantee that no future Kerala government will abrogate its responsibi...

Stan_Savljevic

If the accusation is that Kerala is not honouring SC verdict, then why there is a panel to go into the details of the safety of the dam?? the answer is, that SC felt its order to allow the water level to be raised was flawed..and reports submitted by expert committee may not have reflected the actu...

There are other remarks made by people. Goes along these lines.
