Flog The TRAITORS


Soccer is not just about scoring goals - it’s about winning.


Once again Malaysian already pathetic and disgusting football has drawn the attention of every football enthusiast from the know-how to the intense supporter of football. Weirdly, after seeing the decline of Malaysian football from as early as the 90s until today, they keep their unwavering support for the local scenes but unlike those small and amateurish football clubs in England which are able to topple even the giants in England during the FA Cup, League Cup and other domestic competitions ours is the opposite, very grand in names like the Super League, very pampered by the coaches and yet producing dismal and embarrassing results every time they are expected to rise to the occasions. Even China, Brazil or any top women teams will be able to thrash them like ragged dolls. Yes! They are dolls which are smartly dressed having everything they demand yet unable to repay those who have showered them with every thing imaginable - facilities, salaries, allowances, bonuses and most important of all, the undying support from the die hard fans.

Countless suggestions which later translated into implementations have failed to plug the bleeding and frail national team which once is the envy of Asia. No team dare to face the mighty Malaysia once upon a time but today nobody is even without reservation and huge reluctance to play Malaysia since it will never achieve anything as Malaysia today is a far cry from what she is years ago.

Once we have world class coaches but when they come suddenly they lost their touch. All of them don't last long since they face mountainous task in trying to revolutionise the game but they fail miserably as those primadona and their guardian angels keep on hampering the works of those coaches. They gradually become tired and leave or are forced to leave on the premise that they have failed or do they? Immediately after they leave other insignificant nations rush to get their services and voila! those backward nations and virtually unknown suddenly find themselves at the centre stage, leaving Malaysians gaping like fish out of the water.

Those 'footballers' need to be harshly reminded of who they are, professional footballers who are paid not to come up with sumptuous meals but to perform beautifully on the field producing tonne of goals. They have everything from things they ask for or those perks offered to them presumably to motivate them to produce result. They claim to have done their best but it is really harrowing and a nightmare seeing them playing on the field. Those amateur players in England are far better than our professional players. Instead of playing football they look like very bad theatre actors.

Perhaps, its high time for all the die hard fans to abandon the local football scene and turn to other games which have proven to bear results. It is high time to teach FAM and all the state football associations of their misdeeds and sins to not only the fans but most importantly to every Malaysian who has for a long time suffer humiliation and suffering because of horrible players.

It is better to stay at home rather than going to the stadium paying for overpriced tickets for low rate games. If we long for a 'live' game then it is better to watch the kids play or even matches in the villages every evening since the quality of those games are similar to what we will see when we go to the stadium on weekends.

Instead of prolonging his stay, B.Sathianathan need not to think long of leaving the hapless national team waiting for the axe by the toothless FAM. For a very long time, the changes and revolutions promised by the paper-tiger remain on paper forever unfulfilled. Politicians like KJ need to be booted from the governing body if something concrete have to be done since those politicians are just using FAM as their stepping stone towards even sinister personal agendas.

Nonetheless, we need to face the stark reality that our football is really beyond any meaningful help, just like a terminally ill cancer patient waiting for the time to be called to be with his Creator. Legends like Scolari, Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger are not even able to treat the cancer besieged football of Malaysia since we have bunch of traitors as the players!
