Another idiotic excuse for simple incompetence.


Y'know what, I've just about had it with this shit.... SO SHUT THE HELL UP AND LISTEN...

Recently, there's been a football match between Malaysia and Indonesia. It was the Suzuki cup finals. The first leg.... and we won 3-0. I who am not a fan of either team, had to sit and watch the match because my cousins wouldn't change the channel. So I watched.

After the match, (as expected) there were some sore losers, and a LOT of them for matter a fact. All blaming the Indonesian national team's loss on the Malaysian fans who brought laser pointers to the stadium to distract the visiting team.

Now lets analyze this LOGICALLY (which is something that is a difficulty to some people).

A sniper, yes a SNIPER can only get a proper and accurate aim at target with these conditions,
-Being STILL
-Being calm
-A proper weapon (which has to be both reliable and efficient)
-Having a LOT of experience and skill

Now lets compare with the present conditions. The Malaysian fans.

First point is being still. Now I can vouch for every Malaysian when I say this, that NO Malaysian is still during a football match. The only time we're still is when there's a penalty shot, and even that lasts for only a fraction of a second. Which proves that nobody in the stadium had even the slightest chance (if any) on allegedly "shooting" the players and thus distracting them.

The next point, is being calm. Which refers back to being still. Same story.

Then there's having the "proper weapon" which I can tell you is total bullshit. The lasers used (if used at all) would not have been expensive high-grade laser pointers or even Helium-Neon lasers used in labs, because THOSE are the ONLY lasers capable of giving off even any significant amount of disturbance. Even if they did use lasers, they'd be the useless china made one dollar lasers which last no longer than a pot of boiling water. So no, we didn't have the capabilities to bother your beloved national squad.

The next point I would like to debate is the sheer distance of the fans and the players. Have you ever tried aiming a laser pointer at something that is more than 5 feet away and manage to do it accurately!?!? Here's another example, have you EVER been able to understand what the hell lecturers are pointing at with a laser pointer during a lecture on a slide that is a little too detail? No. Don't freaking argue with me. The answer is NO and you know it.
So imagine how close to IMPOSSIBLE it is to aim a tiny little useless China made laser pointer which is no powerful than a hamster on drugs, at 11 RUNNING players of a fully trained (professional) football squad from a distance of over 20-200 meters!!!!! Also, even if they did manage to aim, everyone knows that the only possible way to get distracted by a laser beam is to LOOK RIGHT AT IT!!! WE ARE NOT CATS!!! Humans do NOT get distracted by little beams of light on the floor!!!

And even if there was a barrage of lasers shooting aimlessly at the football pitch, how the hell did the Malaysian players manage to not get distracted and score 3, yes read it again, THREE goals, while Indonesia scored NONE!?

Once again, I imply you to use LOGIC the next time you would like to make up an excuse of your national squad not being up to par. One that is at least viable to a kid who is 4 years old.

Also, for the second leg, if you are going to be the person who parades and gloats when your team wins and say that Indonesians are better than Malaysians, or if you lose and make up another pointless excuse and start burning flags and shitting in your hands and throwing poo. I pity you.

Or if you're like me and and just enjoy the result of the match for the 5minutes after it ends (win or lose, no matter the team) and then go for a coffee after wards with a couple of buddies to laugh it all off, I say to you, bravo.

The 900

Many of us wonder, why the hell was Tony Hawk so damn famous? What was his suddenly leap into godlike status? Here's your answer.


The 900

The 900 is a 2.5-revolution (900 degrees) (2 and a half spins) aerial spin performed on a skateboard ramp. It is considered one of skateboarding's most technically demanding tricks.

Tony Hawk, one of the most successful vertical pro skateboarders in the world, landed "The 900" at the 1999 X-Games after ten failed attempts. It was past regulation time but, as one announcer said, "We make up the rules as we go along. Let's give him another try." None of the other skaters protested. Hawk twice landed on his board, but it flew out from under him. When he finally completed the trick, his arms windmilled and his hand barely grazed the ramp.

Nonetheless, he rode away. He was awarded 1st place in the "Best Trick" event despite going over the time limit. At a later X-Games, Hawk landed the trick again, this time during regulation time. The 900 was the last trick on a wishlist he had written a decade earlier. Some other tricks on the list included an ollie 540, a kickflip 540, and a varial 720

Here are the clips....






The very instant he landed The 900. History was made, and Tony Hawk took his place as the God Of Skateboarding
