Just because of the lousy outcome of the Manila SEA Games, does that mean we are once again being denied a chance to involve in the Asian Games?? C'mon, drop this kind of mindset, with due respect to other sports, does they qualified to go Doha?? It's time to drop some of those under-performing sports to give it to those who truly deserved it.. When can we really complete against the best of the continent when such an golden opportunity is not given?? SNOC, we would like to know why? Thank you very much...

Think back, l should not have pay that $15 to the provider. (would it be a better choice to squeeze at Braddell Mac to catch it for free??) After all, it was something not worth the money paid. Like al lot of people, I still believe that no extra cent should be incurred to see the game we love. To make thing worse, the "side dishes" that were to compliment the "main dish" were plain and dull (where are the pre-match analysis and those post-match reviews by any panel of experts, the last time we seen that done was by Les Murray and the late Johnny Warren). No doubt about it, a lot of fans had criticized the "not-up-to-grade" coverage by the provider. Just take an example, on a few occasions a non-English speaking coach was being interviewed after the macth, hell would we know what is he talking about when there's not translation or whatsoever. Given this half-hearted coverage l guess, once again we are being called the laughing stock of the region for

Let's just face the stark fact and that is "We are not attracting the right crowd".. Sad isn't it.. 10 years into the league establishment, the S.Leage has yet to penetrate into the hearts of the common folks other than the punters. Before the legalized betting, gambling of the matches were always done at the terrance, on ad-hoc basis, where a spur of moment , kakis and strangers alike would place their bets and collected and distrbuted the earnings after the game. So much so that, ask any of these "fans" to name a few players on the field, you are likely given this answer "err, dunno, that small/tall/short guy wearing red/blue/green or whatsoever colour" Was at the game between Balestier and Sengkang just now, after Sengkang had let in their sixth goal of the night, a guy behind me commented, "That tall guy (Steven Macdonald) cannot make it lah!!" Thought he is one of those "rare breed", until he mentioned the odds given by th

At least now l know how Dr M feel so pissed... Of course, it's always my policy that never touch politics here in the cyberspace. Saw this news clipping on TODAY!!! Definitely, it's a joy for the fans of the Brit-pop superstar Robbie Williams as their idol will be staging a one-night concert here in Nov but the sad thing is because of this "hard-to-come-by" money spinning gig, the relevant authority cancelled the booking made in advance by the FAS to accomodate the foreign legion. Once again, we are being ditched aside...

It's not the first time that the league authority invited foreign teams to take part in the Singapore Cup. However, I am wondering if some of these team are here just to make up the number? So far, the Thai side PEA had impressed me despite losing to Woodlands on the polling day, while its fellow side - Chonburi FC had an easy task by wiping out the faded Home United weeks later. But the farce of it, is to call in the Cambodian side Phnom Penh FC. What's the point of having invited a team that trained on hardcourt surface priror coming here? What's the point of having invited a team that having sizable number of Cambodian internationals who can't play the game for full 90 minute but only half of it? C'mon guys, time to restore the prestige of the Cup by stop inviting those "mickey mouse" teams OR better drop the WHOLE idea of having them to make up the numbers after all it's SINGAPORE Cup!!
