    TM (discussion about politics)

    Dr Strangemoosh, I listened to the same podcast last night. The Iran fan made a lot of valid comments to back up his point that TM had clearly supported the uprising in Iran, given all the suppression they too are under. i also listen to guardian football weekltly (now daily) podcast. They too...

    TM Iran Information Thread

    Speaking of football, TMs counterattacking style of play fits well against US’s style. TM likes to fast break ala basketball teams against stronger opponents. Especially in the second half against Wales, the speed of transition from defense to attack was fantastic. Binavand, if he can play, is...

    TM Iran Information Thread

    Actually I did not say that TN was made to see Raiisi, although of course they were. I said heroes are hard to come by, that it is easy to expect others to heroic action given the circumstances. I accept to some extent the points above, yet feel it is one sided. these young guys did refuse to...

    TM Iran Information Thread

    So true Dr Strangemoosh, I remember you too from back when I used to be a regular here. So true what you said about time of contradictions and being torn apart…. I have learned from the various posts here today as well. Including those who I started out disagreeing with. Part of me wishes we...

    TM Iran Information Thread

    It is beyond tragic that our people have to fight this subhuman fascist regime with bare hands. And that when our national team plays heorically at a pure sporting level and proves their sporting character and determination that they are with some fairness accused of lack of empathy for their...

    TM Iran Information Thread

    Thank you Oghab Aziz, I remember you fondly. I can not insult the likes of Sardar Azmoon. A descendant of Sardar Ghilich. I pray some day we will not be so divided as a people when will we realize this is our biggest weakness? Sports is meant to bring unity, to bring relief, courage...

    I have not posted here for years, but remember many of the old timers here. Dorod be hameh Shoma me tarafadaran asil team batsmen ma boodeed va hasteed. Today our team once again proved their gheyrat and courage. They played with tremendous speed and intelligence when it mattered. Wales did not...

    Afshin Ghotbi Dedicated Thread!

    Moosh Jan, I don't have a Farsi keyboard to post back in Farsi, but thank you for your post. You raised a LOT of good points about Ghotbi as a football coach. I disagree with you that he has been a Khayemal, but as you correctly state, EVEN if he was, he has been certainly LESS Khayemal than...

    Afshin Ghotbi Dedicated Thread!

    So, lets see which TM coach gets your "heart and mind" and keeps his head. As I said, short of going in front of a firing squad or getting tortured, Ghotbi can not get SOME people's "hearts and minds". SOME of us though, see things differently, EVEN though WE TOO don't like the regime and want...

    Public S.O.S to Sirabi, to Peyz

    Decided to send this publicly guys in case you no longer log in here to pick up PM. Can't say that I blame you for not doing so... judging by the turn this site has taken in the last few years and sadly it seems more and more lately. What we ALL neglect to see and most definitely myself...

    گلوله های شلیک شده به سنگ قبر ندای عزیز

    yes, there are many oghdee's in Iran. I saw very ugly comments posted on youtube about a video of Neda's funeral, so ugly and hateful I have never thought possible. Despite the fact we argue a lot on this site, (at least some of us do) on politics, football and the rest, I hope WE NEVER BECOME...

    In memory of Jahan Pahlevan

    This is the kind of man Jahan Pahlevan Takhti was: - Once he was wrestling the Russian great champion for a title. I think the Russian's name was Ivan Yareegeen, but it has been many years and my memory on the name may be wrong, but the important part is this-- the Russian's leg was injured...

    In memory of Jahan Pahlevan

    As much as I like Oghab, I disagree on Takhti's death. Indpendent of that, giving him the title Jahan Pahlevan and THEN attributing suicide to him is something I won't do...it betrays his memory and is not true. Now, with respect to him, JAHAN PAHLEVAN TAKHTI was pro MOSADEGH and was pro...

    Anti-Hejab demonstration

    While I completely support our sheerzans (with capital SHEER) RIGHT to not wear Hejab, this is not the time to provoke EVERY single Mazhabi person (man OR woman) in IRAN with a Hejab demonstration. The reason is this: The regime is ALREADY offbalance and DESPERATE and on the DEFENSIVE. They...

    Mousavi 'ready to die' for reform

    I think the nature of this movement is such that Moussavi has NO CHOICE but to follow the course and not give in to the illegitimate government's demands. Too much dirty water has gone under the bridge... So we don't need to get sidetracked on the hypotethical, but should the worst happen, I...
