If he wins and I lose I’m eliminated.
After Monday's loss to Metalist Kharkiv, Fc Alliance President Sergey Demchenko was incredibly unpleased with a supposedly biased standard of refereeing. In that match, Alliance had 2 men sent off and a penalty was also awarded to Metalist Kharkiv. He was so unpleased that he has now decided to disband the entire club and withdraw from the Persha Liga (2nd Division.) In a post match press conference, Demchenko graphically said,
"We once again saw today Ukrainian Football get raped. I can not call this officiating, f**k. Two reds, penalties, f**k. The referee heavily decided the game today. Now, I will decide something. We do not really want to remove the team after one match, f**k. But this is not football, this is the raping of Ukrainian Football, I repeat. They clearly want Metalist in the Premier league, so why even hold the first league? Maybe you should just expand the Premier League to 18 teams, or let them replace Minaj. Let them go there and Do not kill off the other teams. As president, I have to cut money off from my family to spend on a team and 40 other employees. Plus we also have 600 people paying and 5-6000 fans. We are an agarian business that has to invest our own funds, but they decide to bury us infront of our own viewers. We will decide something, maybe filming a team, but not being a football club. Either we change something and move forward, or we do not change and sink in the swamp."*
Today, Demchenko decided to no longer participate in the Persha Liga, and to begin to disband Alliance. I don't understand what the point of doing this is after one league match. Plus, two teams get promoted, not just one. Alliance were projected to be a good
... keep reading on reddit ➡Whenever our national team plays abroad we began to rant and scream to show our anger, frustration and disappointment for there underperformance if any but then everything becomes as usual as it was... We never try to find the actual solution and answer to the core problem retarding the growth of Indian football...
The problems are:
-
Lack of game time, hence lack of experience and expertise consecutively lack of confidence on the ball, sence of fear on the players when they perform and keep doing mistakes, difficulty in receiving, mis-passes and losing the ball often leading to lack of ball control and low possession.
-
lack of patience's and depending more on long pases due to the reasons mentioned in the first point.
-
limited number of players (pool of players) in a particular position and hence less number of options for our national coach to select on the basis of Competitive merit.
-
Absolutely no or zero availability of player for number 9 (imagine 1.4 billion people, but not a single person capable), this can only be due to less opportunity.
-
Indian players playing a lot less than there foreign counterparts.
So what could be the solutions/ suggestions, here is mine:
-
let it be only one top tire league in the country like others, having two (ISL and I-league) at a time creates confusion and political and structural problems.
-
Increase number of teams in ISL to 18, with round robin method it corresponds to 34 matches per team in a season, also more teams meaning more players implies more players getting chance getting the right opportunity. And definitely an longer season to accommodate so many marches (typical 8-9 months will be good enough).
-
Also introduce 2nd and 3rd division of ISL with 18 teams each in each divisions along with promotion and relegation.
-
Introduce U23, U21, U19, U17 etc youth/development league under ISL with similar number of teams/clubs along with there corresponding 2nd and 3rd division and promotion & relegation in there respective league.
Why can't we add clubs like Aizawal, Churchill Brothers, Manvire Punjab, Real Kashmir, Gokulam Kerala directly into ISL to expand the league in a short amount of time? They are literally good clubs and can do much better, can we do it??
What is your opinion suggestions write it down if any...
Came to the subreddit and walked into this dumpster fire… I was excited for a moment and now I’m just sad
2 local derbies out of 5 matches. And the other 3 games were all crazy results.
The derby results on Saturday (Anyang 0-0 Seoul E-Land and Chungnam Asan 1-3 Daejon Hana Citizen) weren't anything too crazy. Anyang and Seoul E-Land drawing wasn't a terribly interesting result, and 2nd-to-last Chungnam Asan losing to title-chasers Daejon Hana Citizen was expected.
Sunday's games were pretty wild, though:
- Jeonnam 0-2 Bucheon: Last-placed Bucheon beat first-place Jeonnam away 2-0. In the previous 15 games, Bucheon had only scored 7 goals.
- Ansan 2-3 Busan: Busan IPark beat Ansan Greeners with the last kick of the match, and that kick completed the goalscorer's hat trick. Ansan equalized in the 90'+7 beore Busan won it in the 90'+8. Wild finish.
- Gyeongnam 1-2 Gimcheon Sangmu: The match was 0-0 in the 84'... then 3 goals in the last 5 minutes & stoppage time.
The current table now is pretty crazy too. Top team is automatically promoted to K League 1, and teams 2-4 compete in the promotion playoffs.
Not sure how many people here follow Korean football, but K League 2 has been intense this season, as has K League 1
