notice that I don't stoop to your level of insulting the person i am conversing with and take it all as a big joke...i don't mind because the more you mock, the more i feel like i have made a point you have not been able to counter with intelligent argument...
saddens me u can't spot how intelligent my arguments really are.

A few years ago when I was an excited teenager with great hopes for our beautiful island I went to a football match with my uncle...Omonia vs Apoel...big mistake...because although we sat in the stands with our fellow GC Omonia fans, shoulder to shoulder eager to watch the beautiful game it struck me how much the opposing APOEL fans detested the Omonia fans for being pro-unification and friends to TC's...
that's a shame. but that's football. fan is short for 'fanatic' after all. i mean, i detest gooners - especially cypriot ones for some reason. they make me sick. i wouldn't get too hung up on football stuff. christ, they'd need to draw a green line across seven sisters road if the north london rivalry was taken too seriously!
Ethem wrote:Then one or two years later my uncle took me to another match...Luton Town, a team which is not particularly successful or very important or even well known internationally came to Cyprus to play a non-competitive friendly game against a TC team called Cetinkaya...The GC's were furious...and after constant lobbying and appeals to the British Foreign Ministry and English Football Association (The FA) Luton Town were ordered NOT to play the friendly...Another example that GC's will NEVER see us as equals, to the point that they do not even want us playing a friendly pre-season warm up game with anyone...
And coming on to this year, Cratos, a new 5 Star luxury hotel had invited US superstar Jennifer Lopez to perform at the opening night of the hotel...with contracts signed, and the agreement sealed, GC's in the US, UK, and Cyprus pressured Ms Lopez in to backing out of the performance...such is GC resentment of seeing TC's do well for themselves...
nice stories. but i'm less sympathetic. see all of this is down to u believing ur "country" is a country instead of a high security isolation unit. luton town don't play against prisoners in isolation units. j-lo don't perform for prisoners in isolation units. it just don't happen, nor should it. it wouldn't be right. sorry.

u tried to turn the occupied north into a 'political entity' - u tried to call it a 'country'. that's what cypriots free of turkey's iron grip hate. and it won't ever stop till turkey
f*cks off out of it. and this ain't football fanaticism talking now... this is the real deal.
