BoLASEPaKO.COM - A Blog on Singapore Football

Just wondering how often find yourself in the same situation as I do - when any discussion about Singapore football could lead to someone mercilessly putting it down? Recently, I received an email from a reader who told me "to stop writing about the S.League" simply because "will kill sg football in the long run (sic)." As our email exchange continued, I realised he was one of those nostalgic folks still clamouring for a return to the Malaysia Cup days. While I didn’t agree with his suggestion - "keep the s-league and at the same time send a Singapore representative team to take part in both the m-league and m-cup (sic)" - I understood where he was coming from. Personally, I was among those who had grown sick and tired of the tactics of certain quarters in KL, and at that time, pulling out felt like the wisest course of action. That said, the point of this blog post isn’t to debate who was right or wrong about that decision. Rather, it’s about creating ...

Prt-Scr of the Blog's Facebook group Out of spontaneous, I had created a FACEBOOK group for this blog. "just created for future necessity" is the reason why this group is created, this group will served primarily as an online archive of those photos I snapped since I decided to get down to the ground level to capture those "easily-forgotten" moments of Singapore football. Other than that, there are no other plan for the time being until further notification via this blog or on the group page itself.

Just changed my blog template from 2 columns to 3 columns... now left a bit of fine-tuning here and there. The idea to switch from 2 to 3 columns is to make the blog less-cluttered, as you can see for yourself that the main column is now flanked by the two side columns with the content of the side menu evenly distributed out. Unfortunately, the template has no room for the iconic title bar (below) that it had no other choice but call it a day, thanks for the past almost one-half-year of service. And did a survey to gather feedback on the new template and here is the outcome - The result shows that you can't please everybody and this template is here to stay till the next change is deemed necessary, thanks for taking part in the poll...

Thank you very much - that's all I want to say, "Thank you very much". 20th May 2009 shall be remembered as another milestone day for this OMO blog as it registered its biggest number of visits to this site since its launch in December 1996. 665 may be insignificant as compared to top sites like "soccernet" or any established brand but to me it's unimaginable when normally I would be glad if the daily figure is around or close to 100. I promise that I'll try my very best to further improve this blog, please feel free to email me or left a comment on the entries posted to share your views with me. Thank you for your support all along :)

With Antony after the game at Bishan Stadium (many thanks to Mr Visakan Subramaniam for the shot) Met up with Mr Antony Sutton, the man behind the Jakarta Casual at the Bishan Stadium. This was Antony's second visit to the Bishan stadium in a space of a week and glad he enjoyed himself. It's nice and exciting to meet up with a fellow blogger who shares the same interest in blogging and football. Recently, Antony penned a well-written article (click on the link) on what he saw and observed about the locals' attitude towards the S.League Thanks Antony.. (P.S: Rest assured, what happened to Home United for the past two outings at Bishan were purely coincidence, Antony :P)
