“I don’t just want him thrown out, I want him kicked out.”
—Communist Party of India (Marxist) MP Gurudas Dasgupta on Indian Hockey Federation chief, K.P.S. Gill, after eight-time gold medalists, India, failed to qualify for the Olympic Games in the men’s category for the first time in 80 years.

Thanks to KPS Gill and Jyothikumaran, I can watch a tension-free Olympics hockey tourney this year!
Dear Sharad Pawar, can you please adopt Indian Hockey Federation for a while?

It is easier to remove the Prime Minister and even the president than KPS. Gill, Priya Ranjan Munshi in our country!They are permanantly glued to their seats as presidents of their respective Associations.

Disbanding the IHF and seeing what happens may be a good idea… At least we will be saving all the tax money which is spent supporting their ‘activities’.
Maybe we can just pay ric charlesworth or Shahrukh Khan a salary to pick and choose youngsters from schools and maidans in India and train them to take on the world.

I agree with ERR. How do we kick these bastards out? Any ideas?
I was also disappointed to learn that it was that ‘fat ugly bastard’ Carvalho who ensured that Ric Charlesworth did not make the trip to Santiago, Chile. The ‘venal anal Indian’ mentality of ‘total’ control at work again! And that imbecile KPS Gill went ahead with the coach’s idea is laughable but to the detriment of Indian hockey! The less said about ‘Kothikumaran’ the better.

I hope, at least now, Rupan Bajaj (who was infamously pinched KPS Gill) comes back to pinch KPS Gill’s Bottom and remind him that he should step down from Hockey Federation.
I hope, Gill ji will not go to Supreme Court for pinching his bottom!
