you mention Karel Stromsik twice. it should be Zoran Nikolic

anyway, FAM really screwed the league up when forbidding foreign players play here. and Gov make it worst when they revoked the tobacco company rights to sponsor sporting event.
current FAM need to thrown out and replace with people who actually knows football and loves the game. please no politician.
That's right, thanks for correcting me

Also remember a certain Zsolt Bucs (pronounced George Bush).
I think foreigners can only add to the quality of the league. At least they can impart some knowledge onto our local lads. We have aspiring youth with talent and ability, but they ultimately succumb to the greed and corruption that has a firm grip over our local league. The mentality of the players is another contributing factor. Geeze there are just so many things wrong, diet, training, etc?
What about the Chinese and Indian footballing community? Why have they decided to stay away from football? We were at our best when we had a multi cultural team eh? Soh Chin Aun, Mokhtar Dahari, Santokh Singh, Arumugam... these 4 alone are from diverse racial backgrounds. How many Indian or Chinese do you see in football these days? It isn't that footballers don't get paid enough.
Staying away from the stadium's is a good thing if you ask me. It shows the FAM that we have had enough of their shananigans. The supporters will not accept an inferior product anymore. It isn't about being unpatriotic. Support the local league? Go to the stadium? Pah! Respect is earned, not given and the FAM do not have my respect at all!
