FAM fumble?

I just burst into laughter when I read about FAM wants to create a 'special' national squad as a way to have a strong team to compete in any competetion.
A special team with players that have no ties with any clubs in Malaysia? That bloody vice president must be out of his mind! How in the world did he (or they) coined this stupid idea? I seriously there's another country in the world (at least those with great football history) are implementing this ridiculous method.

He said that because of the ever changing player line-up, the national team is not strong enough. Argh..what kind of stupid statement is that? First, he needs to know why the ever changing line-up. First, because of injuries. Second, because of the players are below par. Which will mean that even we have a special full-time squad, but the players are below par, we still gonna get a hell of a trashing by the opponents.

Plus, if the team is created, you think the team will train year-long for 4-5 major competetions? So what the heck they will do when there's no competetions? Get bloated on food? Increase the size of their arse? Hey that's the taxpayers money you know!

Then there will be this dilemma for players. Say that a player is selected to join the 'special' team. That means he has to quit his role at the club as a player. What happens if the player suddenly lost his form? No more surging run from the midfield or no more brilliant diagonal pass to the forwards from him. Just plain kampung football. Will his previous club take him back? If his former club wont, then that's probably the end of the road for him. Who wants a player that is out of form?

I seriously think that football wise, the VP is very, very stupid. A decision such as this would not only hinder the development of national football, but also will embarrass us if we lose in a game. Why? Simply because we have a full-time squad that faces a team with players who are club tied, and yet we lose.

Oh my God, I think I'm gonna switch allegiance if the proposal goes. Football-wise, that is. Indonesia maybe?
