ridiculous...random

  • We lost two matches in two days, 4-0 and 5-4, and our captain still thinks there is a hope for bronze, ridiculous.
  • A successful coach (Rajinder Singh, incidentally he was coach of my school team some 10 yrs back) was sacked just 3 weeks before Olympics. Ridiculous.
  • Some unknown German grabs the chief coach position in such a short notice. This tells about of his credibility. Ridiculous.
  • IHF sacks top players (Dhanraj and Dhillon) just before Olympics and after media hue-cry they recalled them just to humiliate them further by resting them on bench for most part of games; and again sacked them after Olympics.
  • Again before Indo-Pak series, the new coach sacks top 3 stars without stating any reasons, and this current team doesn't have a 'forward-line', can anyone tell me who played at right wing in last two matches?
  • Is there any logic behind the selection of 'Adam Sinclair, Vinay or (was that Hari) ' over brilliance of Gagan Ajit, Deepak Thakur (incidentally they both are product of my alma mater)
  • And the strategy of long-passes as opposed to our traditional short-passes has proved to be last nail in the coffin.

Yes. Indian hockey is plagued by the presence of IHF .. there was a time in the past few years that money and interest came by hockey's way. Perfect opportunity to break new grounds. However, no professionalism is possible from a fiefdom like IHF. The way they treated Dhanraj was deplorable!
