how much time left to get this match over. Hope VIVA wins again

darren dias · 5 Apr 2010, 17:25

This match will end 1 to 1 as usually when divas from kerala play and search after draw and one point.
50% matches ends 1 to 1 for divas kerala this season.

darren dias · 5 Apr 2010, 17:44

Hahahahaha 1 to 1 as predicted.
6 matches in 2010 ends 1 to 1 for divas fixers from kerala.
Team is a shame for topfootball in India!!

Skaria · 5 Apr 2010, 17:46

late equaliser scored again :(

Mohan · 5 Apr 2010, 18:01

@ Darren, Seems u are a Goan supporter ... we can understand u will feel bad as 2 of the Goan teams are going to be relegated this season..

he he he

aadarsh · 5 Apr 2010, 18:02

hmm.... two points...:(

darren dias · 5 Apr 2010, 18:13

@Mohan
Viva Kerala will be suspended and catched for resultfixing(1-1 results) so no place to them in I-league next season anyway.
Some of Kerala's results in 2010:
1-1 Lajong
1-1 Salgaocar
1-1 Churchill
1-1 Mahindra
1-1 Chirag
1-1 Air India
--------------------------------
Team seems to search and play after 1-1 results if they can make that result.
This is not Normally results in any league worldwide.
A team can play draws yes but here is to many 1-1 results, Viva Kerala seems to enjoy playing 1-1 they are not serios footballplayers.
Viva Kerala and their shitty 1-1 results scare many tousands supporters away from I-league.
In many footballforums worldwide supporters write about fixing so team, players, coach and club must really be proud.

Arun · 6 Apr 2010, 06:09

@Darren

Do you really need to comment on this site if you are against Kerala teams? Please don't visit here again if you are not able to stand a Kerala team doing better in I-League.

VIVA KERALA!!!!

Ravi · 6 Apr 2010, 09:31

@darren all 1-1 results came against the top clubs in the i-league. All opponents in these matches were trailing first, even mahindra had to put a tough fight to grab 1 point for them. We have screwed up several points conceding late goals.
It doesn't matter coz we are middle of the table.

Don't worry darren looks like this is out of frustration that your clubs aren't going to be playing in the next season. lol

FYI u quoted "topfootball" this is what you get when you play topfootball, you need to fight for every points else no mercy will be shown.

FYI goal.com has awarded Sreedharan as manager of the month.what more to say? Can i know which is your home team?

arun · 6 Apr 2010, 10:50

I saw the match at cooperage, but I am sorry I was disappointed to see Viva playing defensively after the 5th minute goal. I support Viva but really I dont know why rueben senyo is even selected in the team, he is a complete waste in the team and even captain sakeer seemed disappointed.
@darren
1-1 draw is largely due to very solid defense of Bello(Man of the Match) and Sisupalan in the midfield

adwaidh · 6 Apr 2010, 15:14

@Darren : It isn't 'catched' mister.. It's caught!

Patrick · 6 Apr 2010, 18:10

@ Darren
We'd rather have won those games! Don't insult the integrity of Viva. Other teams have drawn more games than us.
Can I suggest you never watch cricket; those guys can play for 5 days and still draw!
