Kuwait India Football Federation (KIFF) Season Champions for 3 years at a stretch, the men in black, AVC-Kuwait proved their mental and physical strength to storm into the Finals of Daswin Memorial Football Tournament organized by Santos Football Club, edging out strong contenders Kerala Challengers by a brace. They will meet their arch rivals Navelim Youth Center-Kuwait who in thrashed Bombay Boys 5-0.

The match between AVC-Kuwait and Kerala Challengers rose to frantic heights as both teams tried to take control of the game. AVC-Kuwait with their traditional one touch football took the steam out of the Kerala players. Kerala mostly relied on long balls which were bottled up by the strong AVC defense led by Vincy Pereira and Joseph Quadros. AVC missed easy sitters in the first half. In the first quarter of play Kerala Challengers goalkeeper made a diving save to avoid Kevin’s volley entering the nets. The first half ended without either side scoring any goals.

The men in Black: AVC Overseas Association

The second half saw AVC-Kuwait take full control of the proceedings with their midfielders Edward & Luciano spraying precision passes to their forwards which resulted in the 1st goal. Malvy lurking around broke the Kerala Challengers off-side trap for once to intercept a diagonal ball from Edward and drove it past the onrushing goalkeeper. Kerala Challengers' supporters rushed to the referee and assistant referee appealing for a off-side.

The match was stopped for around 15 minutes but better sense prevailed and the Kerala Challengers continued with the game. Hats off to the Kerala players, committee and fans alike for their continuous fair play and disciplinary attitude shown on Sour grounds among the Indian expatriate community in Kuwait.

The second goal was copybook two touch football from AVC players with Liston providing Kevin with a neat pass on the edge of the 16 yard box. the latter put the ball in style across the far corner of the net thereby increasing his tally to 15 goals this season -- the highest among goalscorers.

The other semi-final between Navelim Youth Center & Bombay Boys was a one sided affair. Bombay Boys without most of their key players were a pack of novices on the field, succumbing as early as the 5th minute of the match to a 'straight volley' by Duarte Ferrao. After that it was Navelim all the way pumping in 5 goals at regular intervals.

The Finals to be played on Friday 18th May, 2007 between the two rivals is going to be a thriller. Without their key players Alvaro Dias (former Churchill Bros goalkeeper), Francis Senior (C), Vincy & Joseph , AVC will need to rely on their stand-in Captain Francis Jr. to guide and maneuver the young AVC brigade.

STOP NARVENKARISM IN THE ELECTION

STOP NARVEKARISM IN THE ELECTION

ONANISM is a sexual sin. It was committed first time by a Biblical man called Onan. He was made to have sex with his sister-in-law to produce a child because his brother could not. While Onan was having sex with his sister-in-law he was feeling guilty for not being able to be called the legal father of the child whom he was producing. By having illicit sex with his sister-in-law he was only helping his brother who ultimately would be the legal father of the child though Onan would be the biological father. Onan did not want to be nobody of the child that he was producing, he wanted to be the lagal father but circumstance did not allow him to be so. Hence, as a revenge, he was at the time of the emission of his Semen into the Sex organ of his sister-in-law, he used to remove his sex organ from his sister-in-law and throw his Semen out – which was a Sin, just like Masturbation is a sin where you destroy your Sperm. Religious codes forbid the unnecessary wastage of one’s Semen. It is only for the purpose of reproduction. Later on this type of sexual act of Onan was called as the sin of ONANISM. Then mankind started using this method called Onanism as one of the safe methods of birth control.

Narvenkarism is also a very grave sexual sin named after its initiator. The initiator of this sin has created lot of sexual scandals in Goa and he is not even ashamed of committing this type of sins on regular basis. Making use of his official position he seduces the females of his liking as if the females are toys and very many poor females are falling prey to his lust, of course against their wishes. Even Portuguese Pakles with all the powers at their disposal did not indulge in such sex orgies. His method is simple ”I will do your job surely but you will have to do my job first, that is you will have to have sex with me". He is direct in his proposal, he does not care for any shame because he is shameless. Even for asking bribe for any job, he is direct and his circle is full of pimps and bribe takers. This is the culture of Congremen which is promoted by “volkott” Goans and supported by some “Rostad” priests. His associates also come out openly with a proposal like this: “Sir hasim ek ratik nidh and tujem kam korun ghe”. This is the stage where our Goa has reached now. I dont know who made these Ministers Sirs. I dont know which Queen Elizabeth Kinghted them to call them Sirs. To call such rascals as Sirs is like disgracing the integrity of Kinghthood.

We call our Goa as “Udentichem Roma”. Is it so? Roma is a holy place but is our Goa still a holy land? Are our church leaders holy priests? Yesterday I saw in the Herald Fr. Conceicao D’Silva of Mndur Retreat fame with all his holiness was inaugurating the office of Congress candidate Mauwin Godinho. Is Godinho a good man or a corrupt politician who was accused in scams? Is Godinho an upright man or a corrupt politician? Is it right on the part of Fr. Conceicao to bless Godinho and associate with him? What lesson Fr. Conceicao gives to others – that we must support the corrupt candidates? Is Patriarch of Goa aware of what his priests are doing? By associating with Mauwin Godinho, Fr. Conceicao disgraced the Godliness of Jesus Christ. By associating with Mauwin Godinho, Fr. Conceicao equated Jesus Christ with Lucifer. Because of this people would have dislike for Fr. Conceicao and they may even boycott his retreat for being an associate of “Devchar” like Mauwin Godinho. By associating with corrupt politicians Fr. Conceicao will surely lose all his grace and in such a situation how he will cure the spiritual and physical sicknesses of the faithfuls when he himself is possessed by the political Devchar?

In the constituency where Narvenlar is contesting people should oppose him with all their might. Because of the sin of Narvenkarism the image of our females especially of Christians is shattered. The priests from all the Churches in Aldona and Tivim constituencies must raise their voices loudly and forcefully to defeat Navenkar who is all out to destroy Goa and its good image. He is become very arrogant and acting like a dictator even against the wishes of the people who got him elected. His actions are worst than that of Salazar. Church leaders must start preaching in the Churches on every Sunday and every day not to support corrupt politicians. It is the duty of Church and priests to educate the faithfuls to follow the right path. By making use of his position in the Church hierarchy, Cardinal Sin in Phillipines demolished the dictatorship and arrogance of the then president Ferdinand Marcus. By using the Pulpit in his State, Martin Luther King opposed and attacked the sin of Apartheid in USA. Fr. Torres in South America by discarding his Cassock and taking Gun on his shoulders attacked those who harassed his Christian work. Christianity is not only to preach sermons on charity and humility and beg for doles. Christianity is also to make the faithfuls to fight against the injustice. In Goa now what is going on is total injustice perpetrated by our politicians who deserve nothing but total annihilation otherwise they will annihilate innocent and poor Goans. As per the teachings of the Christ, Church and priests must stand by the weak. Otherwise, to hell with this Church that is afraid of politicians.

While writing these lines, Rane's son has resigned from the Congress Party because he was denied ticket by the High Command. Where is the affiliation to Congress by the very persons and office bearers of Congress party? Biswajeet Rane as a child was brought up with Congress feudality and the high prestige Congress party gave him thru his father. Is he grateful to what he got from Congress party for the last so many years? Congressmen are not real lovers of Congress, they are crooks and they want Congress only to get them elected on Congress Party symbol and to get them opportunities to rob, to loot and to rape Goa.

Congressmen in Goa thru illicit means amassed huge wealth from Panchayat level to Vidhan Sabaha to Ministerial level. They are become so corrupt that Sex is become their forte and what Sex? Not with their wives but with their concubines and mistresses. Almost every Congressmen is having his private apartments where he goes for recreation of illicit sex. It is these Congressmen who brought bad name for Goan females. It is these Congressmen who degraded moral fabric of Goan females and demoted the fair image of Goan females to the level of whores. Best of females are in the hands of Congressmen and they can supply you at the spur of the moment. The Congress culture is such even High Command when asks with low Command for a Briefcase of Lakhs of rupees, it instructs the low Command to send that Briefcase thru the beautiful wife of any of the Ministers, preferably the wife of Chief Minister or his daughter or daughter-in-law. And incidentally low Command agrees for this otherwise the Ministry is changed. Morgorid Mana will know this art very well. In view of this, it is imperative now for the Church leaders and priests to mount heavy onslaught on the Congressmen and especially on all the politicians who disgrace the fair image of our females. All our Goan priests are aware who is committing the sin of Narvenkarism and who initiated this sin. The Sunita incident is still fresh.

While concluding, after the Sin of Onanism and Narvekarism, we have in Kuwait yet another sin of sex called SIN OF WILSONISM which was initiated by its initiator. It is yet another method of indulging in illicit sex thru the proposal “I will help your daughter to get a job but she must allow me to have sex with her”. “Volkottan aple bailek baddeak daddlea Canadak ani hangasor rostad ostoream laguim miroita. It goes without saying that “Tache borobor astat ani taka tenko ditat titlei tachech basen Rostaduch, tei apleam bhailank baddeak laitat toslech”, however much they may deny this. This is just a tip of an iceberg. I am only alerting the innocent Goans not to fall prey to the Sins of Onanism, Narvenkarism and Wilsonism.
