Macedonian rebellion for Pandev


The biggest TV company in Australia made a precedent since Sunday in najavnata roll of the duel Inter - Genoa announced that Goran Pandev is a footballer who comes from Bulgaria.



The error has made the TV company Fokstel. Australia is a territory where many live in communities and among najbrojnite is ours. Macedonians are offended by the big mistake, and some commented It was as deliberate by the editor of the TV company said. Australia through the radio 333 in Melbourne are listings and Ico Najdoski, who conveyed his country's harsh reactions-made mistake that our immigrants have made their greatest impact on the football idol.

"Ethnic Macedonians in Australia are outraged. However, the Macedonian organizations in Australia officially neither reacted nor demanded an apology from the editor for sports on television. The error is not random nor work for any omission. The obvious precedent is created intentionally by that Australia continues to constantly violates its multicultural principles. This is outraged Macedonian community, "said Najdoski.

News has spread to Macedonia. Is it true no organisations have protested? if so, we are a zaspana nacia.

This is the email that I sent them:

To whom it may concern,

Fox Sports FC is a show that I used to hold in high regard, as I thought it accurately covered football news domestically and internationally. I was appalled to find that in a recent segment when showing the make up of the Internazionale squad, Goran Pandev the Macedonian international striker, was incorrectly labelled as Bulgarian by nationality. This is completely inaccurate, and offensive to us Australian Macedonians. I would have thought that a show such as Fox Sports FC with huge Australian footballing personalities such as Robbie Slater, Andy Harper and Simon Hill would be intelligent enough to gather the correct information about players and squads, as it is evident that this segment made everyone watching just that little bit dumber. I would request that a correction of the abovementioned error be made on air, so as to clear any confusion, and also to remove any offense directed towards the Macedonian community of Australia, which many are loyal followers of the A-League and football in general. I have forwarded the abovementioned error to many people in the Australian Macedonian community, and have asked them to boycott the Fox Sports FC show as it does not represent accurate football information, and also chooses to offend Australian Macedonians by misrepresenting us. If this was an honest mistake, then a correction to the error is in order. There is no room for politics or racial discrimination in a football show, and if this error was a deliberate misrepresentation of facts, then the Macedonian community of Australia deserve an apology.

Ive sent one also Dejan, though it was not as well manered as yours. Which is probably why i have not recieved a response from them.

But organisations would have more weight behind it than individuals like you and me. Unless there are thousands of us. If it is true what is writen in the above artical that no Organisation has written a please explain to Fox Sports, then its disapointing.


some of you might be thinking big deal why are we geting so uptight about it (which is what one idiot on Maknews comented). Well it is a big deal, becuase i don't believe it was an honest mistake. There is something more sinister behind this. You can't pluck Bulgarian out of the blue.

What about AMHRC? Can't they send a complaint?

Fox Sports FC apology
By staff writers
March 11, 2010

On Tuesday 2 March, during the Fox Sports FC program, we showed a table listing the national teams represented in the squad of Italian Serie A side Inter Milan.

Unfortunately, the table contained an error as it incorrectly indicated Goran Pandev as a member of the Bulgarian national team.

As many of you have pointed out, Goran Pandev is in fact a member of the Republic of Macedonia's national football squad. We apologise for the inadvertent error and sincerely regret any offence caused.

Excellent work everybody!
