You know the local football scene is in a sad state of affairs when your invited team who has been playing in the S League since 2009, has instead approached the Thai FA and indicated their interest to play in the Thai League instead.
The Thai league is currently thriving, with many indicating that this could be the best league in the South East Asia region. The fact that the league is more competitive and have two tiers where promotion and relegation brings much excitement to fans is not lost to the football teams in this region. Thus, the desire of the Brunei team to test themselves under a much higher standard.
To add insult to injury, while the Thai league have confirmed that Brunei DPMM have indicated their interest to play in the league in 2019, Singapore's FA claimed they have not heard of any teams pulling out of their league. Like a jilted lover finding our about being dumped via other people.
