I meant, if a lady radiates this kind of violence from a country far away from Turkey, what can we expect from the predominantly male and more violent crowd that go to the stadiums. I believe, if anything, it should be perceieved as a compliment by a woman when someone implies that women are less violent than men... BTW, I have not claimed that all the Fenerbahce fans are angels. Violence is a problem in the whole Turkish Football regardless of the colors...<BR/><BR/>As for "diving" of Fenerbahce players, and other football related comments of yours such as referees, those are definitely your personal opinions. But honestly, your comments remind me of Ugur Mumcu who used to say that a lot of people in Turkey unfortunately have opinions without knowledge... <BR/><BR/>So long...<BR/><BR/>CagriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20447539.post-1146007586512024322006-04-25T18:26:00.000-05:002006-04-25T18:26:00.000-05:00I assume you are being sarcastic or attempting to ...I assume you are being sarcastic or attempting to be. Nobre is a cheating, diving bastard who deserves all the ridicule and hatred that comes his way. I suppose getting a goalkeeper sent off for a deliberate dive and showing absolutely no remorse is okay as far as you are concerned! Alex likewise is a diver and as for Anelka, even Maradonna was impressed with the Hand of God Part II. <BR/><BR/>When your lot close down the "Kill for you Groups", stop the violence and tone down the complete arrogance you have to the rest of Turkish football, as commented on extensively in the Turkish Media recently then maybe, just maybe the tone may calm down. <BR/><BR/>As for accusations about referees when a team loses the fans always have to blame someone and the referee is the first and easiest target. <BR/><BR/>My sex and location have nothing to do with my feelings about the team I support and I resent the implicit sexism in your comments.Gulayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10523948691688214643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20447539.post-1145992630123536992006-04-25T14:17:00.000-05:002006-04-25T14:17:00.000-05:00Dear Gulay, Obviously I can and will never underst...Dear Gulay,<BR/> <BR/>Obviously I can and will never understand your pain, but I surely can and will express my sympathies. However, I believe, just like we should treat any event governed by the law of nature, it's much wiser to accept the inevitable when Galatasaray comes to Kadikoy. That approach may leave some room for happiness for you guys in the unlikely event.<BR/> <BR/>The "normal" accusations on the referee, some remarks on our foreign players, etc. aside (all reflecting your immense football knowledge (!) ), I strongly believe that the following requires some extra attention:<BR/> <BR/>"I normally don't feel this way but the only good thing from the match was that Nobhead was carried off and maybe out for the rest of the season, excellent!"<BR/> <BR/>While I am happy for the first sentence, I seriously think that this, in my opinion unfortunate remark of yours on the health of a player, reflects the alarming level of hatred we currently experience in Turkish Football. If a lady, who lives in Cleveland, OH can write this, there's little sense to discuss the violence in the stadiums...<BR/> <BR/>Sevgiler,<BR/> <BR/>CagriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
