 It is well known that a big power struggle is on between two big wigs in a certain sport. Matters have now got out of hand due to this struggle that it resembles a big tug-of-war between these two big wigs. When one big guy says something, the other oppoes and vice-versa. All this is causing a lot of problems to those working in the establishment. They wonder when this power struggle will end.
Only time will tell
There was hectic backroom activity going on for a crucial Inter-Club game as one club in particular involved in the game was not happy with the umpiring types named for the game. One club had the advantage because their manager was a big shot in the governing league and wanted his own goons to do the job. They say all this hushed activity was being done so that the manager concerned wanted his side to win at all cost and so they were selecting the officials so that the preferred side could win. Only time will tell as to who will triumph.
A sordid tale
A sordid tale has been unfolded where senior boys have been showing blue films to juniors at a leading Colombo school. This has been noted by some parents who have taken the case to the Human Rights Commission. Now a major issue is about to blow up. The saying goes that the seniors have been doing this kind of things for a long time but things have gone unhindered until these parents got wind of it.
Goals to forge ahead
There is a competition at a major sport to select the chap who has scored the most number of goals in an ongoing tournament. The player who is in front has notched up 17 goals, so the records say, but in reality it is another player who has scored the most number of goals. Those in the know pin-point that this is being done to favour a certain player. Those who know of this set up are having a good laugh saying that goals are given for nothing to push someone forward.
Unruly behaviour
Big matches are interesting and the fun and frolic is being enjoyed by all – Old and Present boys. But things got out of hand at a certain Big Game and Old Boys of both institutions were trying hard to hide the issue. All this they say was due to the drunken behaviour of certain individuals at this big game. Anyway there is a consolation of sorts. The money paid in advance for such unruly behaviour and vandalism will cover the cost of destruction.
Making a comeback
Netball fans are gearing for a major tournament to be held in Colombo come August. A certain official who had quit the game a few years ago is now trying to make a comeback to take the manager’s post of the local team. This former official is playing a hide and seek game with the Big Man in sports. This ex-officio is placing certain info in the years of a confidante of the Sports Big guy to be back in favour again. Will the Big Guy listen to all this bunkum?
Unseen Lokka
All sports fans were glued to the TV during the past few days to watch a keen tussle between Australia and Sri Lanka. It is said that a certain official had rushed Down Under to help with the selection of players for these games. However it is said that his particular official had picked teams to certain whims and fancies of a certain senior player. We wonder who this ‘Unseen Lokka’ is!
