protectors got de thrashing

this is a belated post on de match between Home Utd & Tampines Rovers, which was played on saturday night. I'm still very much in love w de Stags (Tampines) but didnt get de chance 2 watch their match as much as I want to due to some reasons (I stated it in my past post). this yr I went to de protectors (HomeU) match more frequent as Mama & Lil Prof are supporting them. well, I'm supporting bro.smiley as well, and few friends there.


I had teaching earlier that day so I met Mama, Lil Prof & Bestie Luthfie at junction8. by de time I reached there, I was like, damn tired & sleepy seh .. haha! we took cab frm Junction8 to de stdm. ya I know merepek ryte .. but seriously, I was real tired!
de 1st person I saw when getting off frm de cab was that 'OLD man', hehe, he is nt old as in age but dats de nick I gave him, lol .. he didnt play as he is still injured, hmm recover soon ya? we chatted a while but I felt really awkward. he is still nice as before but too bad, I couldnt have any control of him nwadays. I miss de old times seh .. getting hotter!
thn he asked me where is Double-H, and I was like, duhhh! I told him de latter is coming later. thn he was like ouh ok & he invited us 2 sit w him but I rejected before letting dat lil prof hear anythg. it would b a disaster if I didnt react fast.
I was surprised when he asked bout Double-H as they are like enemies u know, always avoiding each other. haha :-) both of them give me a headache, a terrible one.


de game started well with two S'pore International goalie guarding their own area; Hassan Sunny & Lionel Lewis. I was predicting that protectors would win de game based on de stags poor performance in de league. but when de stags took de 2-goals lead in a quick succession, I was like, excited! who doesnt ryte when ur fav team is taking the lead against a strong team like HomeU. both goals were frm Qiu Li; a former protector.
about 10-mins after that, Indra Sahdan scored a very nice taken goal after a mistake by Mr.Rambut Senget; Shahdan Sulaiman. Shahdan was like having a day-off that nyte. most of his touches went wrong & totally, that lad looked disjointed.

score remained 1-2 at half-time in favour of de stags.


2nd half started brightly with many attacks. stags' defence was forced to work overtime but that still, couldnt stop de protectors frm getting de equaliser early in de 2nd half thru Naruphol Ar-Romsawa; de lively player cum de drama king! de players were so happy & de fans too, were like over de moon. little they known that de equaliser would bring more harm to their team instead of joys.
I was really pissed off with HomeU another Thai player who just returned frm injury; Kornprom Jaroonpong, trying hard to be a primadonna & yeah, another drama king in de making. both de Thais I mentioned above were like, falling on de slightest challenge & pretended to be badly/seriously injured when falling down. OMG. lucky both of them were substituted by Naufal & Farhan respectively.


I was like pretty sad as stags' 2-goals lead was already cancelled out but around de 60th min, stags took de lead, AGAIN, thru de hat-trick hero, Qiu Li. his return to his former hunting ground was a fruitful one. :-) well done! Stags' 4th goal was frm Imran Sahib; another former protector. he just came in as a subs when he scored that goal, another well taken goal I shall say, frm a guy who seldom score.
I & bestie Luthfie were damn happy, sooo much happy while Mama & Lil Prof were a lil dissapointed w de results.
well, thats football, anythg can happen. u need luck to win, at times.


n yeah, I hate to see when de protectors became so desperate (Bro.Smiley is an xceptional) when they were trailing de stags. they were trying hard, really hard, to get de referee's attention. trying to appeal 4 penalty whnver possible n also, refused to put de ball out of play even when THEIR OWN TEAM-MATE was on de ground injured. thats not de way boys, grow up ya? ;p


protectors:

bro.smiley did pretty well, nt a bad performance, but I didnt see much of him. hehe, but a thing for sure, he was booked. ;p

Lionel had a day off as well, caught napping many times & its fair enough to say that he must shoulder de blame on de goals he conceeded, though not for all.


stags:

Ridhuan : I wanna c more frm him. what he is giving now is so little to think that he is a national player. even if he has de speed but who can bear with all de poor crosses frm him? after making any mistakes, he would blame his teammates. I saw that few times during this match.

Qiu Li : great performance frm him. I was delighted that de goals keep coming frm him. well, its nt easy 4 him, just like bro.smiley, who keep getting boo-ed by own fans, he is desperate to get more goals. keep it up!


so all de former protectors who are playing 4 de stags now; Aliff, Shariff, Imran, Qiu Li and Yusiskandar, they had a good outing that nyte though were put under pressure after de equaliser. :-)


to de protectors, I knw it was another blow although the league is far frm over. so bounce frm de defeat & produce gd results, once AGAIN.

my supports will always b with both teams.

till we meet again, at Queenstown Stdm ...
