Hi everyone, this is a story of a club that was once a respected institution, but has since fallen on harder times. This story takes place in the exotic South-east Asian country of Singapore, with a club called Geylang International Football Club.
Some things to note about the Singapore League (as of 2014):
1. We do not have a promotion or relegation system. One league comprising of twelve teams, that's it.
2. Teams play each other twice throughout the season. After that, the table is split in two (top six and bottom six). The top six play once against each other, and the bottom six play once against each other. And yes, using this system, the seventh-placed team can end the season with more points than the sixth-placed team. Counter-intuitive, but it is what it is.
3. Home and away matches are not THAT much of a big deal. East to West measures 50 kilometres. That's just 8km more than a marathon.
4. Teams are allowed to sign up to five foreign players. Each match-day squad is allowed a maximum of four foreign players.
As I have already started the game, there's not much time to give a good narrative of what has already happened, but I'll try my best to fill you readers in on what has happened thus far. Thank you for the support, and I hope to come up with something nice and readable!
