How are we feeling boys?

After weeks and weeks of storm brewing in the background of the Malaysian football scene, we finally able to talk more football on the pitch and it's another dark one!

Starting with celebrating Sabah's ends 27-year wait to a FA Cup Final, we also discussed the incidents occured to Selangor, including the game played behind closed door, a dubious penalty call, controversial goal cancelled over offside call and the penalty shootout which sees Sabah came out victorious in the silenced MBPJ Stadium.

And of course, setting-up a delicious final as Sabah will meet JDT with another routine victory over Kuching.

Join Keesh, Aiman Roshizam and Chun Hang as we brought out the punching gloves in this episode of The Malaysian Football Pod.

We start our episode with wishing veteran journalist Haresh Deol a speedy recovery after a despicable attack in broad daylight in Bangsar, raising serious questions about motive and the freedom of the press.

Business as usual in our beloved Malaysian football scene, starting with JDT's loss to Melbourne Victory, we take a look at the prospect of JDT's qualifying as they will face tougher opponents next time in ACL Elite, in the form of Chinese Champions Shanghai Port, Japan's powerhouse in Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Vissel Kobe.

Bergson, JDT striker sums it up perfectly after the defeat, attributing the amount and the quality of chances they had.

Robin Hood of Malaysian football, Penang FC falter to Sabah, Negeri Sembilan draw against Terengganu and the smile on the face of Luqman Hakim gave us plenty to talk about.

With the rumours of Alex Agyarkwa potentially called back to Selangor, we take a look at some options for Nidzam Jamil's side.

Last but not least, Brunei DPMM's showed resilience against Kuching however, a last minute goal was controversially cancelled by VAR. Should have they at least go back with a point?

Join Keesh 'Mat Stats', Aiman Roshizam the sports commentator and Chun Hang, an analyst for Widzem Lodz of the Polish League in another episode of the Malaysian Football Podcast.

Malaysia's National Team brush Nepal aside 1-0 to keep the unbeaten record in AFC Qualifier intact thank to a splendid Faisal Halim's second half goal, after coming in the first half after Arif Aiman's unfortunate injury.

A 63 pages FIFA report reveal a heartwrenching truth on the current forgery scandal, as FAM is preparing to take the case Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to salvage a lifeline for the future of our football.

In this episode, the usual suspects Keesh, Chun Hang and Aiman shares their disappointment, thought which will radiate to all Malaysian football fans and condemn the tribulation Malaysia's currently in, as the scandal is undoubtedly, revealed the darker abyss beyond football.

As we anticipate Malaysia vs Nepal next week, we simply can't get enough of the games last week.

Starting with JDT vs Shanghai Shenhua, where Arif Aiman continues to showcase his strength in dribbling past defenses, solidifying himself as the top 3 players in Asia leading the Southern Tigers to an important 3 points ahead of some tough matches in ACL Elite ahead.

Chun Hang rave on Petrus Shitembi season as he puzzled on the fact he was not nominated for one of the best import last year, when he's been brilliant for Kuching in the last few years.

A cruel night for Sikh Izhan, saves after saves after saves unfortunately it was all futile considering Selangor sink again at 0 points after 4 games in Group G. You simply feel for him, as it's the team as a whole is more responsible for a nightmare second half for the fan.

Join Keesh, who shared his experience watching Selangor's up close in MBPJ, Chun Hang; who 'enjoyed' the game from the comfort of his home (15 mins away from MBPJ) and of course Aiman Roshizam who's in the 'Gantry' commentating the game on what seem to be a great night for the Red Giants, only to be met with a shock.

FIFA has rejected the Football Association of Malaysia’s (FAM) appeal against its punishment for alleged forgery and falsification in the registration of seven naturalised players, upholding both the 12-month suspensions and hefty fines initially imposed.

While FAM has consistently denied wrongdoing, FIFA’s disciplinary ruling marked a severe blow to its credibility and governance practices.

It's another week where we will discussed at length on the suspension of the 7 players and how it will affect the future of the National Team's endeavour in the ASEAN Cup.
