Almost lost my way to Clementi Stadium yesterday, as this is the only FOURTH time I been to this ground (even though, the last time I was here was barely few weeks ago! ). This ground is the temporary home for Home United whose Bishan ground is currently under renovation for the upcoming Youth Games. Don't have any fond memory of this ground as the last time I was here for a competitive game between no-longer-existing Clementi Khalsa and not-sure-coming-back Jurong FC, I saw one of the most boring games in my entire life! Why, it seems that both teams then had forgotten that the main objective of the game is to score goals but instead were most interested to get the ball out of play for throw-in. And the sorry sight was the unappreciative half-time performance by the Clementi cheerleaders.

Hi Folks... Sincerely apologized for the lack of update lately, as I just came back from a short getaway, which I'll update on my travelog ( Ko's Travelog ) in weeks to come. While I was out-of-town, I think I missed a few upsets along the way, such as Woodlands defeated SAFFC at Choa Chu Kang (was told there were scuffling among the supporters after the game.) Balestier beat Geylang United (wonder if the target of 60 points set by the Geylang's Chairman Patrick Ang is still achievable?) Young Lions upset Home United at Jalan Besar . Not bad eh? Keep up the good work for causing a few upsets that what's the league need the most. Although, one thing I can't really figure out is why while I was in the foreign land I can't access on the blog and the mail service that tied to it? (anyone has an answer?)

To be honest, I'm still confused with this law of the game, which without it the game is NOTHING. Managed to source these two YOUTUBE clips and hope everybody will have a better understanding of this law that would make and break a game. Spoofy version -"a player is NOT offside, if he isn't gonna interference with the play (that) is about to happen." Detailed version

Frankly, this was the first time I saw DPMM played this season. So I don't have any slight idea how good they are, but having maintained the unbeaten record since the start of this season should they stocked up some foundational points in times to come. Anyway, here they were at the Toa Payoh Stadium where they beat cellar-dwellers Balestier Khalsa 1-0, thanks to a solitary strike from ex-Super Reds striker Oh Ddog Yi in the 35th minute. SOME PICTURES FROM THE MATCH DPMM players walked back to the dressing room after their warming-up. This Bruneian fan was getting ready for the game. .. so were the rest of them, was told they are Bruneian expats staying in Singapore. This reporter was feeding back update of the match via skype I think. Jubilant supporters after their heroes maintained their unbeaten record.

INTRODUCTION If nothing goes wrong with my media accreditation application to this prestigious Asian club tournament, I should be able to go ahead to do something that mark another milestone of this blog - having an instant update of the ACL Group G fixture between our very own SAFFC and last season's South Korean champions - Suwon Samsung Bluewings . Was told the security measures of this tournament will be much more stringent as compared with other tournaments. I see how it goes as I would want to roam around the ground to snap some pictures but I would not want to risk ending up having some skirmishs with those "jaga", who seems to follow blindly with all those rules and regulation (they will be doing job after all...) PREVIEW (not really..) Was told the legendary Cha Bum-Kun, coach of the Bluewings was grilled at the pre-match pressies at the Amara Hotel for the leaving out four key players for this fixture. I guess, sometimes, things must be compromised in tight si
