Indra in action for the Warriors in last Oct's Uniform Derby This is a cute situation when ex Lions skipper Indra Sahdan Daud, who recently re-joined Home United after release from SAFFC last season, after he passed his beeper this morning (according to Liga Singapura's tweet). The veteran striker is likely to be fielded in this coming Sunday's Uniform Derby against SAFFC. In the two derby matches that were played at CCK last year, Indra scored to help the Warriors to beat the "auld enemy" that terminated Protectors' undefeated record of 25 matches.

So would Indra be the decided factor again with both powerhouses of local football been struggling to find their foothold following a "false start" to their campaign?

Coach Raddy screen-grab off the live stream The nightmare is over in Qatar when Iraq handed the 7-1 scoreline to send our boys back home to conclude a World Cup Qualifiers that would be best not to mention in the near future. Despite the nature of being a "dead-rubber" for this fixture, the team with Brazilian legend Zico at helm did not allow any slip-up. With the floodgates opened in the fourth minute through Karrar Jasim, there was not look back for the Iraqis who took and executed their chances well right till the end with skipper Younis Mahmoud rounded up with a hat-trick before referee Abdullah Al Hilali of Oman signalled the end of a heart-wrecking match. Isa Halim's well-placed strike in the 28th minute was the only bright spark for the hapless Lions.

"Despite the resentment of their presence as a foreigner-based club, it's hard to deny the contribution made by Albirex Niigata (Singapore) since they joined the league in 2004. If the league authority been talking about the crucial role of having these foreigner-based squads in the S.League, no one can hardly disagree the White Swans are the benchmark of that of well functioning CLUB. Whilst their on-field performance only started to pick up since last year (with their first ever honour - the League Cup), the well-oiled mechanism to operate the club off the field is for all to see and emulate. With that on top of those alumni, bedside those promoted to senior
