BoLASEPaKO.com - A Blog on Singapore Football

P.S: I think by the time you guys read this entry, I should be out of town already. Nonetheless, I already scheduled some entries, which are not time-sensitive, to be loaded up while I'm away from home so as to the blog running (a tip I learned from some blogging experts to retain viewership). The recent NQLD Fury vs Tampines Rovers friendly not only saw the Stags beat the visiting A-League team but also a chance for me to grab a few more signatures on my posters. (Picture credit: "Cloud" of Kallangroar.com) Just like any star-struck fan, I had my posters in "standby" mode just in case anyone depicted in these posters walked through the glass doors that linked the main lobby to the playing field of Jalan Besar Stadium. So we had Lee Man Hon (above) signed on the 1993's poster, after I spotted him he walking through the glass doors. Midfield Dynamo - Malek Awab was catching the main event along the corridor when I asked, "Excuse me Sir, would you help

[P.S: This blog post is submitted as part of Sony Ericsson’s Extra Time campaign. You can read the other local football stories here . :)] PREVIEW Did some googling around and from one source I read that other than the "GOD" - Robbie Fowler , the new A-League franchise also have the likes of former Geylang United star Brendon Santalab and Ian Ferguson , former Rangers star as its coach. Any Eagles fans who will always remember Santalab for his prolific score-rate in his 22-game stint in 2003 and was nominated for that year's "Young Player of the Year" award. It was also mentioned that the Queensland club are keen to establish a working relationship with any interested party in this region. "It just another game for me and it's good have a good game under my belt as the season is half way through but most important thing are the League and Singapore Cup." said Tampines ace striker Noh Alam Shah (on left with the blogger in a picture took many donk

Registration counter of the clinic I was told of this clinic, being one of fringe activities of the visiting North Queensland Fury , by the media liaison officers. It is certainly a nice thing to see two footballing legends - Robbie Fowler and Fandi Ahmad came together and imparted some of their knowledges to these kids who were obviously having a good time despite the scorching heat at Hougang Stadium. Like earlier mentioned by the newest A-League franchise, hopefully event like this open up the doors to more footballing exchanges between these two countries in the near future. MORE PICTURES FROM THE CLINIC Fandi Ahmad shared his tips with the kids Fury's coach Ian Ferguson passed out his instructions before a drill. The main men (L-R): Robbie Fowler, coach Ferguson, match organizer R Sasikumar and Fandi "You have anything to ask Robbie?" as coach Ferguson asked the kids These kids are showing some great potential. "Well Done, lad.." said Robbie Some tussling g

The "Super-sub" of the late 80s - Abdullah Noor signed on the 1990's poster (25th May 2009) "Don't take my picture!!" said Abdullah Noor when I bumped onto him just now outside the Jalan Besar Stadium. But when he saw the priceless poster, he was surprised and asked how and where I got it. Having told him the story , he duly signed the 1990's poster with admiration from his students. "Can make ONE copy for me or not" said the former Balestier Khalsa, ex-Sengkang Marine coach before parting off. A tip-off just now from my friend, Mr Ong Jiing Yih saw me at the Jalan Besar Stadium not for the game but to grab hold of former national coach, Vincent Subramaniam's signature on the 1990's poster (Vincent was the assistant to Robin Chan then). (29th May 2009) But the coup of the night - yes, right in front of your eyes - the "twin-terrors" that struck fear in any defence and rocked the whole Kallang and Singapore whenever one of the

After the news broke out that Robbie Fowler might not be playing this coming Sunday against Tampines Rovers due to his groin strain , I got an email from the media liaison officer which carried a statement from Mr Ian Ferguson, coach of North Queensland Fury. Here's it goes.... Hey Po Hui, We know that there’ve been reports that Robbie might not be playing, but the coach would like to verify that the comments have been made out of context and that he IS playing on Sunday. Please see the below for Ian Ferguson, coach of North Queensland Fury, comment: “Dear Singapore fans, I would like to clarify my statement on this report which categorically states that Robbie Fowler will not be playing in our match against Tampines Rovers this Sunday. This report is not accurate and my quote has been taken entirely out of context. The journalist had asked me if I would play Robbie in this match if there were any concerns as to niggling injuries, and I had answered based on that hypothetical quest
