    What a pathetic control, football is being hosted by a bunch of 16 year olds in all galis of karachi..they are trying to control that.

    On a bigger level what about tournaments such as RLCA Tournament it is planned and already invested in how does this affect them because this pathetic ruling was not in place at that time while it was being planned and prepared.

    Finally PFF should concentrate on more important matters and try to control levels they can control and manage, PFF have no right and also not enough personnel to keep and eye on everything and more importantly they should not because its useless. This is why PFF is almost the worse Football organization in the world, which results in ordinary local competition and a pathetic International team. They come up with such decisions and solutions.
