    Unfortunately Reza Ahadi passed away due to liver failure back in 2016. I wish I was wrong, and couldn't believe it when the news broke back then since I knew he was still fairly young. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reza_Ahadi

    Homa & Perspolis Video1363

    I was there too with my friend; beautify Teheran fall weather on a Friday evening. I was Tajee back then but I have to admit I cheered when Parvin scored. You are right about Bahman Bohlooli. There is a video of him jumping in celebrations when Parvin scored :) Good old days!

    Trump WAS the president

    I found this piece of a Trump supporter very informative and gave me a new perspective on the whole Trump movement phenomena. I know Vice has its own left agenda, but I think this piece was fair!

    Technology Thread

    With all due respects. This is what I know about Mehrdad Masoudi.. He loves football and anything football related and he is a very decent individual. If you could find ISP archives back in the late 90s, when he was with Canadian football federations he used to post here under his own name...

His program was on...
