While it's a sign of relief to read the news that the wanted man - the former Liaoning Guangyuan team manager Wang Xin is caught in China (as depicted in the screenshot of TODAY's 27th Nov article). How about this guy mentioned below in the archive I screenshot from Google?

The league authority would have a lot to answer and convince the large number of dwindling local football supporters over the decision to admit another foreign club into the foray. “Having foreign teams in the league would add colours and help to boast the standard of play in the league.” as what the league authority used to rationale the largely unpopular move, especially among those remnant fans of those “sit-out” clubs like Tanjong Pagar United, Jurong FC and Sembawang Rangers. So when TODAY reported that CSL side Beijing Guoan was named as a potential team to be part of the set-up (as depicted in the screenshot above), the less-than-desirable reaction from those folks out there was more or less came no surprise to me. To back their claim, stats and figures had clearly very clearly that teams from China had yet to prove their worth despite number of promises made at each pre-season media introduction. Dalian Shide Siwu FC used to based in Queenstown Stadium Other than Sinchi FC, whi

A mundane weekend saw me head down to Jalan Besar Stadium over the last weekend to catch some veterans footballers in action. It was indeed a low-key affair when most at the grounds were either old school-mates, teammates or family members of the players. While the pace of the game was not what we saw in those S .League matches , where speed and aggression are the keys of the game. Instead, much slower pace football does has its merits as it was much relaxed and less intense since everyone was there to reminisce the good ol ' days. SOME ACTION PHOTOS "In-synch" The KLM team (in stripes) were one of the two foreign teams in action. The players from Old Raffles Association waiting for their turn to play. What a leap in attempt to head the ball from the number 2 player from KLM team. "Watch out for the ball!!" Tussling for possession is necessary. Former Lions R Suriamurthy (37) shows his stuff. A great clearance header from this defender in white. The mid-day he

And we did it... from the "set-pieces", nice combination of Shaiful and Duric... Just watched the delay telecast of the game on TV. It was indeed a much better performance by the boys, as the commentator had pointed out correctly at the end of the game that Singapore had a game plan and got it well-executed by frustrated the Thais. Nice to see Khairul Amri put up a credible performance after such a long while, and credit must also goes to the whole team for putting behind the last Saturday's defeat to come back with such a convincing victory at the intimidating Rajamangala Stadium. Lastly, I would like to say " No point pin-pointing here and there, just get the job done swiftly!! " (after lurking at some posting on this thread of this popular forum ...)
