This is reply to the article written by Mr. Cosme Fernandes.
Mr. Cosme I agree with you that we Goykars are become shameless and thick skinned. We want name and publicity and to do that we would go to any extent. But what do our deeds say? Nothing. What have done to our fellow Goan breathren. Nothing, but destroy our Goans who come up in life the legitimate way. I do not think in any part of the planet earth there is such class of Goans which exists in Kuwait.
Well, coming to KIFF it has become a joke to everyone. Those belonging to KIFF think that there is no one compared to them in Kuwait. But hey, just think of what they were when they first came to Kuwait. Mr. Veronica has their full resume and have exposed some of them on this forum. The so called Presidents of Goan clubs in Kuwait, ooppss. I better not expose the truth about them openly for fear of losing their personal existence in Kuwait. Goans in KIFF, be aware of the wrath awaiting you here in Kuwait and if by chance you miss it over here, then Goa awaits you. Goa does not want more traitors on its soil. You can have as much fun as possible here in Kuwait, but do not disturb the sanctity of this beautiful place which has give you a lifeline to exists.
Remember one thing that The Almighty God is not sleeping, but watching your actions very carefully. He is giving you all a chance to cleanse yourself from all the filth. Take the chance now or face His wrath. Goans in KIFF remember that Goans in Kuwait and in Goa are awaiting you. Mr. Veronica very soon the scenario which you told me what happenned in the Ferryboat some years ago because of disturburnses in KIFF is going to be reality once again and this time the fury will be awesome. God Bless us all.

ALVARO DIAS - A RENOWNED GOAN FOOTBALLER BASED IN KUWAIT.
ALVARO DIAS - THE WELL KNOWN GOAN FOOTBALER.
A cruel knee ligament damage meant that the bubbling career was cut short prematurely as it was a massive disappointment and agony for Alvaro. However, the zeal and the passion for football kept Alvaro much into the game although at an amateurish level.
Alvaro still plays for the AVC Club in Kuwait but only for the crunch matches as he’s focusing more on the duties of coaching the team besides he is also an active and one of the most respected referees.
There is still a long way to go but on returning back he intends to get into coaching the young kids and to be part of the development of the game. Sometimes his fanaticism for the game keeps his family on the edge as the ‘knee’ which was damaged some 15 years ago still hurts considerably, but for football Alvaro is ready to walk even through the pain.
Passion for football keeps Alvaro on the move

MARGAO: During the early nineties, Alvaro Dias was considered by many pundits to be the successor for the legendary Brahmanand Shankwalkar but it was not to be.
A cruel knee ligament damage meant that the bubbling career was cut short prematurely as it was a massive disappointment and agony for Alvaro. However, the zeal and the passion for football kept Alvaro much into the game although at an amateurish level.
Alvaro who played for several leading clubs like Churchill Bros, Sesa Goa, Vasco SC and even got a call for the India camp was at the peak of his prowess before a nasty knee injury in 1995 ended his playing career. He got a job in Kuwait and remained very much a vibrant figure for the expatriates in the Gulf where football provides a relief for the home-sick Goans.
During his holidays, Alvaro witnessed many matches and the former giant-sized national goalkeeper is in awe of the progress made by his state in football and feels that the Youth Development Programme of the GFA is the best thing that has happened to football in Goa.
"Football can only get better when the base is firm. The age category tournaments here are an endowment for the youngsters. It’s a huge and enormous opportunity to get the basics at the right age. It was not possible during our days. However, with a lot of discipline and dedication, players grew up during that era. Now there’s everything in football, name, fame, wealth everything but only hard work and commitment can help you to achieve those things,"
explained Alvaro who was a deputy for the then India No. 1 Brahmanand Shankhwalkar for the Santosh trophy nationals in 1986 at Kerala.
Alvaro still plays for the AVC Club in Kuwait but only for the crunch matches as he’s focusing more on the duties of coaching the team besides he is also an active and one of the most respected referees.

Subject: SHAMELESS GOANS.
TO ALL MY GOANS IN KUWAIT Staying in Kuwait and mixing around with different communities of India in Kuwait. I feel ashamed to be called a Goenkar . The mere reason is that there is filthy politics going in every organization . First the G.W.S supposed to be an organization for the welfare of Goans in Kuwait . Who is running it a bunch of rogues who have taken an oath to eat money of poor Goans who slog to earn a living by way of member ship fees for what is this .If any individual born and brought up in Goa automatically he is a Goan .But when one goes to register in the GWS organization they need proves .
Secondly the managing committee headed by Mr. Alex Wilson Coelho (Sexologist) is a committee that wants their names or photos in newspaper for doing something cheap in Kuwait . Anybody staying in Kuwait and going through the events going on in G.W.S will tell that any press reports or photos given to the press are of the people addressing and not the crowd because they want only publicity . How can we Goans support such an organization??
Secondly in the field of sports all over the world Goans are known for football but what's happening in Kuwait is a very sad story . Our own Goan brothers are in arms against Goans why a small ego problem werein the Ambassador of India had to intervene . I think the Ambassador has never intervened in any other state organization, what a shame! Why is this happening and for what ? Can anybody clarify there are some people in the field of sports who do it for money and not in love of sports to name Manuel dcosta (ex kiff pres) , Salu (kga pres) Milton (rangers pres) and the list goes on . Can anybody stop this and bring back the football that we used to enjoy on soor grounds?
Iwas just reading your blog and was a shamed to see how K.I.F.F has put the terms and conditions . HEY K.I.F.F., WE ARE FOOTBALL LOVERS AND THESE CONDITIONS ARE ONLY AN ENCOURAGEMENT FOR NEW ORGANISATION TO START ORGANISING FOOTBALL.
THE OTHER DAY I HAD GONE TO WATCH A TOURNMENT ORGANISED BY THE KERALITES. WHAT AN UNITY AND WHAT A WAY IT WAS ORGANISED!! GREAT AND HAD TO PUT MY FACE DOWN WHEN THERE WAS TALK GOING THAT HOW GOANS ARE MAKING MONEY IN THE NAME OF FOOTBALL. THIS IS THE REASON THAT YOU SEE A GOOD UNITY OF THESE GUYS EVEN IN GOA WE FIGHT AND WHO TAKES ADVANTAGE? THE NON GOANS AND TODAY YOU FIND MORE NON GOANS THAN GOANS IN GOA, LIKE PINTOS FROM MANGALORE, VOHRAS FROM PAKISTAN PUNJAB AND TONYS & KUTTYS FROM KERALA.
SO MY HUMBLE REQUEST TO ALL GOANS TO BOYCOTT G.W.S AND K.I.F.F TO TEACH THESE A GOOD LESSON. I AM SURE DOING THIS THEY WILL REALISE THEIR MISTAKE AND TRY TO KEEP US UNITED IN EVERY WAY.
COMING BACK TO FOOTBALL I THINK WE HAVE LOT OF GOANS HOLIDING GOOD JOBS AND INFLUENCE WHEREIN WE CAN SEE THE SAME FOOTBALL AS OF SOOR GROUNDS. WAKE UP KUWAIT GOANS UNITE AND BE ONE AND LET NOT NON GOANS RULE US AS THEY DO IN GOA HOPE TO SEE A GREAT UNITED FOOTBALL SEASON THIS YEAR.
The current turmoil going on in Kuwait because of KIFF arrogance is bad for the unity of Goans. The leadership of KIFF and all the Goan KIFF members should be held responsible for any negative outcome.
