Lmao can we blame Duka that Partizani got rid of Ilir Daja

What about this? Can we blame him for this?

It goes both ways. Teams in the Superliga are incompetent and constantly do stupid and shady stuff. Tirana sold Muci and got a decent sum for Albanian standards then proceeded to spend that money on a random Finnish striker that barely featured for them and they ended up breaking his contract illegally in the span of a few months.

All Albanian teams at the end of the year get rid of their entire roster and staff. All Albanian teams end up breaking contracts with players and get penalized by UEFA. All Albanian teams don’t care about youth academies. There are no planning and team building with Albanian teams.

Now I guess this is the part where the FSHF should step in and discipline these teams or take actions. You can’t promote a toxic culture like this. But then part of me thinks that there are other nations with corrupt leadership that have domestic leagues that actually do well or develop players like Croatia, Serbia, etc.

So when Skenderbeu qualified it was Duka's fault for helping them...

When other clubs don't qualify it's Duka's fault for NOT helping them..

It’s a tough argument but at the end of the day nothing is stoping a team like Tirana from qualifying. Their own incompetence has hindered them more then anything the FSHF has done

As it has been pointed out already Skenderbeu benefitted from Kosova not participating in European competitions and Duka helping them win 7 titles in 8 years. Also during their 8 years of European competitions they had one decent year in Europe which Partizani was able to match in just one year when they replaced Skenderbeu and eliminated Ferencvaros. You guys make it sound as if Skenderbeu dominated in Europe lol.

Because of Latifi and Berisha? Don't get me wrong, they were good but the core of Skenderbeu were also Shkembi, Lilaj, Vangjeli, Shehi, Radas, Orelesi, Olayinka, Nimaga, Salihi, Plaku, etc and they were not Kosovars. Haris Fakic deserves credit for putting that team together.

As for Duka helping them win titles... don't be silly. A team that beats Sporting Lisbon 3-0 and plays level to level vs Dinamo Zagreb, Partizan, BATE should have absolutely no issues winning the Albanian league LOL

Why are you giving Skenderbeu/Duka credit? They disgraced our country, nothing they did is legit.

Duka should've been sacked for that nonsense. Why would we give credit to him because they match fixed ...

[Princ]

Back when Metalist Kharkiv was qualifying for knockouts in the biggest European competitions, UEFA handed them just a 1 year ban for fixing matches left and right.

Small fish Skenderbeu ate 10 years for the same infraction..

[Dallku]

The most bizarre part is that they were banned for strictly odds movement. No individual was found guilty of anything (like it happens in 99% of match fixing cases).

It's like UEFA and CAS mutually agreed that aliens came down to earth and fixed matches for Skenderbeu....

Have you guys read about the Granit Xhaka yellow card case? Well they found the guy who placed the bet. It was an Albanian ex player from Scandinavia. This is how these investigations are done. They sure as hell not banning Xhaka unless they confirm a direct link...

Thats a bs article, we already know Xhaka isn't the one being investigated. UK media been loving the little agenda they've been putting out on us Albanians recently.

Since day 1 they (refs, media, pundits) had a thing against Xhaka
