Malaysia League > A-league

I live in Malaysia and it absolutely is not. Went to a Sabah FC game a few weeks ago and there were 1000 people at the game. Sabah finished 3rd last season………….JDT do have some good Malaysian players, but most are foreigners, Shayne Lowry used to play for them, the team is owned by the Sultan of Johor, they have many multiples of the budgets of the rest of the teams and they win the league every year by 20-30 points.
Why do you constantly talk shit on this forum? Do you really need the attention?

so you're judging the standard of the league based on how many people attend the games?
 
Just looked up the proposed penalty change, and it's even worse than it sounds.
If a goal is not scored, then it's immediately a goal kick. So if the keeper gets a hand on it and it goes out for (what would normally) be a corner, then it still results in a goal kick.
Apparently their thinking is it will reduce disputes related to encroachment.

I know I sound like a dinosaur but just leave the bloody game ALONE!!!!!!

These constant "tweaks" to make it a better broadcast product and to crystalise gaml bling parameters give me the shits... There are rules to curtail encroachment already in the book (Muz, Nic?) if the reff or the linos aren't savvy enough to see it, play on.... What's next do away with any human refing completely and rely on AI to adjudicate the game? And then? Just get Nissan and Elon to whip up a batch of robots to play the game for us? FFS its becoming laughable now....

Rant over :P

You have to wonder who comes up with this nonsense. In what world does anyone think this change to penalty rules is a good idea??

Did they publish ANY rationale for the change?

Infantino and Wenger, perhaps?
They have to come up with "innovative ideas" in order to justify their enormous salaries.
All they actually manage to do is destroy the game.
