buddy, I dont know what's the purpose of using the word "popular", but let me tell you this "popularity" that you say is NOT becoz they look good, dance & do the "gher" well or play the "taar" fine.
( and here's the key issue that some of you repeatedly deny - no surprises there ) :
IT IS BECOZ THEY PLAY THEIR FOOTBALL WELL.
that's why they are "popular". hope it is understood.
It is becoz ppl recognize their superior skills to most of our players in Iran and becoz these players have something more to offer than the average hassan or gholi , a few of whom are at TM at the moment.
if a player is not as popular, you can take it from me that he is NOT as superior as the rest. hence not many ppl feel his absence at TM and therefore fewer ppl taking up his cause.
that's why you dont see many touting the absence of for example yahya, who is a very nice gentleman and down to earth fellow. so it's not about congeniality. it's about FOOTBALLING PERFORMANCE.
just though I'd clear things with the use of the term "popular", lest some elements try to mis-use this term later on in their posts
