It's nice to see "H-TWO-O" roped in the likes of Noh Alam Shah, Lionel Lewis, Ridhuan Muhamud, Hariss Harun etc. to promote this brand of istonic drink (as depicted in those promotional posters below spotted at City Hall MRT station). Ridhuan Mahamud showing his skill Noh Alam Shah (foreground), Lionel Lewis (in biking gear and cycling) and Hariss Harun At least, we get a chance to see local footballers gaining some much-needed publicity other than during those "prominent" matches (i.e: "AFF Championship"). And which is why I'm now linking that issue to something I want to highlight below. The above article appeared weeks ago on "TODAY" and it tells us a story of the Quah family - widely considered as the "first family" of local football. It was a well-written article that gave us an insight of the footballing brothers of the Quah family (Kim Beng, Kim Choon, Kim Siah, Kim Swee, Kim Lye and Kim Song), who were household names in

Although, I wasn't sure if the stadium announcer did the sensible thin

Young Lions fans at the stands Sometimes, you really need a kick at your butts to get things going. After their coach Terry Pathmanathan's outburst on Monday , the Young Lions restored some pride after they came from a goal behind to draw level with Woodlands Wellington at the Jalan Besar Stadium. "It was a good game as compared to the last two." said the former national team skipper (above). "I think one point (from this game) is a consolation for us, though it should have been three points. "We fought and worked hard but have to make some tactical moves to attack as that's the only way (to play) when we are one goal down." added coach Pathmanathan. "My players were under pressure after we lost our last three games." commented Woodlands' coach Nenad Bacina (above) when he addressed the press. "We were slow to open up the game but we scored at the right time and from set-pieces. "We were confident of getting all three points but
