(Picture from TV) Doesn't this trophy looks like the Malaysia Cup ? It was a soft, deflected goal from Andriy Voronin at the stroke of first half and the lapse in an indiscipline Singapore' backline in the second half saw the visiting the Liverpool ended their Singapore "holiday training camp" with a win over the hosting Lions at the heaven-know-when-will-tear-down National Stadium. To be honest, I thought we did well to hold the 18-time English Champions for large part of the first half until that Voronin's strike. But sad to say though that lack of discipline and composure eluded the Lions as they cracked as the game progressed. What a shame as it was an ONE half performance, but NO SHOW in the second. SOME REACTIONS FROM MY "FACEBOOK" LIST (Some instant reactions from my "facebook" contact) "thinks it's a shame we didn't give Pool a better fight... Better defending could definitely have prevented 2-3 of the goals!" "I

Yes, I admitted that I used to be one of the KOP. But that was many years ago and yesterday I was the National Stadium to catch the Reds' only "open door" training session in front of approximately 6,000 (just a rough figure). SOME PICTURES TOOK DURING THE EVENT Spot someone familiar? These fans flew in from Hong Kong to catch their idols in action. A lady fan claimed herself as "Mrs El Nino" Attentive fans with their sights focused on the field These two boys trying hard to get a better view. Some players greeted the fans at the East Stand before heading to shower. Not eating sour grapes but I do really hope the same passion and enthusiasm would be shown to our boys this Sunday as well. May the best team win...

(Picture) snapped this at "Sakura" YCK stadium I was at Yio Chu Kang the other day for a meal. The dinning place was one of the two restaurants located at both ends of the Yio Chu Kang Stadium. As far as I know beside YCK complex, various sporting complexes (e.g.: Jurong West, Tampines, Choa Chu Kang, etc.) around the island also have such dinning facilities incorporated into these premises. Now, here comes the question - Does any of the S.League clubs thought of working out with these eateries to venture into corporate hospitality on the match days? Just a tweak to the idea I mentioned before by having clubs venture into this business model that has been an important income earner in Europe. As the matter of fact that clubs here do not own the stadium they based, thus it's impossible to have any dinning facility inside the stadium compound unless the SSC (the landlord) give the go-ahead. With some of the grounds having this "ready-made" requirement so why not

The trophy is named after the GOH - A/P Ho Peng Kee, the Senior Minister of State for Home Affairs and Law, who is also one of the two advisers of the FAS. A total of 104** teams took part in the futsal competition of the "H-Two-O Ultimate Challenge" held at the Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) campus at Ang Mo Kio. According to the organizers, this figure of 104 had set a new record in the Singapore "Book of Records" for the largest number of teams taking part in a futsal tournament held in Singapore. This event was held in effort to raise fund for the Jamiyah Children's Home . The "Bishan Glory", played in the youth category, with skipper Amirul (second from right) Met a friend, Daniel (pictured above, second from the left) who was there with his group of "kakis" taking part in the event. Called themselves the "Bishan Glory", the group of five had known each other for more than four years and been playing the game regularly in their usu

Shadow Boxing football is a joy to watch actually. As what Super Reds had shown us how fundamental skills were being applied to curb a superior team like SAFFC, who were, honestly, out-of-sort hours ago. Pending how individual look at it, for me it was a joy to watch despite the snail-paced of football played as it's not very often we seen such simplicity style of being played in an era when the game is getting more complex with list of dubious formations and much focused on pace, rather than the basic skills we first taught to master at very young age.
