In what must be good news to most Singapore fans, we are heading back to the Malaysia Super League.While the rest of Singapore celebrates the announcement, here is one camper who is not entirely convinced.
To be brutally honest, Singapore going back to the Malaysia Cup is like a desperate attempt to revive interest in local football again. FAS must have realised that the S League has reached a point so low, we need to return to where we ended it off. And the truth is, any move to revive the football scene will yield something. We are so low on crowd attendance in our stadiums, even the local "getai" at our neighborhoods draw larger crowds.
A Singapore Under 23 team with possibly 3 foreigners and 5 full internationals... perhaps we can relive the days of Fandi and Abbas. Maybe we can ignite the passion of our local footballers again, that they will think about playing and impressing in front of big crowds again.
Maybe the competitive rivalry that stems between our neighboring states will bring about the passionate Kallang Roar we sorely miss.
Can we relive the glory days of 1994? I am not sure we can ever revive that old magic. I just know we can go no lower than what we have now, so why do we care where we go?
When you have no idea where to go and have nowhere to go, any road will lead you somewhere.
