sad end for de lions

I was in de middle of 2-minds on Saturday. whether to go or not to de National Stdm for my beloved LIONS (nt all of them ya). I was still feelin tired frm my recent short trip but thinking back that HE already gave me de tixs & there was some needs for me to show my appreciation (though we r no longer together), I went there with Mama & Lil Prof. dat boy was xcited to go since he got to know that he could meet that 'UNCLE' of his.
well, that match was de last 1 to be played at de National Stdm. yes, de REAL LAST TIME, HOPEFULLY.

I have many wonderful memories to remember as well those bad ones with de Stdm since becoming a regular visitor there since I was 3. I'd seen de football matches, NDP, concerts, etc. during de football matches, I managed to feel de atmosphere of de full-house; de 55,000 strong crowds & there were times I was dissapointed w de people when seeing de Stdm was nt even quater-filled. but I'm glad dat we had de full house during de final of AFF championship & during that historic night, Fariq scored his 1st goal for Spore.
19-yrs on since my 1st visit there, I finally bid farewell to de Stdm. I'm welcoming de new Sports Hub :-)

not much can be remembered for my Lil Prof though, as he only had 7 shorts yrs of times to visit de Stdm. but at least, he still got to feel de atmosphere & de Kallang Roar. but he didnt have de chance to watch de NDP live at de Stdm.

well, move on to de match itself, the LIONS bid farewell to their home ground in sad manner. they lost de match to Saudi, 0-2. well, it was not de best of result to say goodbye but that was de fact.
how I wish things would be different. IF ONLY Raddy was much wiser in choosing his players & IF ONLY de players esp DE DEFENDERS esp DE NO.3 did much better & commit themselves more to de team.
as usual, we couldnt undo things whch had been done.

I wonder why must Raddy has so much faith in dat lousy defender? after all de STUPID & IDIOT-ICAL mistakes he did. ape seh? we are not lacking of players ok. and whats de point of calling up so many players when u chose to stick with de same ones even he didnt perform well. ALAMAK! I really wonder seh why must he had hesitation whnver he wanted 2 clear de ball? he was some sort like 'shy' with de ball 2 come near & touch it *sigh* dahla tu, lembab pulak tu! TORTOISE!
I guess de slow is like de slow traffic during de busy hours he needed to bear whnver driving thru de SLE thn TPE to reach Bedok Reservoir frm Sengkang. haha, lil nonsense by me, go figure it out!

thumbs up for Noh Rahman! well done, Noh! slotting in de position whch belong to my most brave & huge LION; Fariq, as de defensive MF, demand ur fullest commitment. and I was glad with Raddy, at least, he made de correct decision this time. Noh gave all heart out, putting up a courageous display & worked really hard. on so many occassions he helped de defence to clear away de dangers as for so many times, de defenders were caught having their very own sweet moments. I admire his determination where he is always willing to work harder to become a better player. a humble lad as well.

my MAN-OF-THE-NIGHT was de SENSATIONAL Hassan Sunny or Achan as he is affectionately called by Lil Prof. I dare 2 day that bcoz of him, de LIONS were spared frm losing heavily to Saudi. his saves were top class & well done. Keep it up! yet still, he couldnt afford to stop that 2-goals. IF ONLY, de defenders provided him with more protections.
since joining Tampines dis yr, he has been in gd form so far. he is doing very well whnver was called in actions. I have been admiring his excellence since.
I mean no offence & w/o taking anythg frm Lionel, I wish to see Hassan to be de 1st choice goalie for Singapore real soon as he is having a gd & fine form & season. I'm fully aware that Lionel has more experience in bigger matches compared to Hassan but if we keep on giving that excuse, till when will he get de chance? if he is nt given any chance, where can he gain de xposure & xperience in order to match with Lionel? de matter now is NOT only on Raddy but on Bee Seng (de GK coach) as well. he needs to play a part too but I knw a lil on what is happenin 'behind de scene' that stopped Hassan frm bein able to gain dat no.1 spot. I'm aware of that, coaches!
I hope my worst fear will nt come true where Hassan will nvr get his chance but Jasper will pop-out to replace Lionel although I realised Jasper's journey is stil far away. nothing is impossible.
to those who knw what I'm trying to say, GOOD! but if u r not, go figure it out. ;)
it is a matter of fact & I wont say it out if I'm nt sure of it. :-) our football arena here in Spore is really small anf if I could dig many news/info/gossips frm Msia football arena whch is bigger thn us, for sure I could dig at my own country as well ;)

well, till here thn. will be back soon!

*to me, and many others, u r nt a SUPERSTAR. there is no need to try being 1 coz u'll never able to be 1. it is already a shame enough for a former young player of the yr to perform like that. U might able to win the hearts/attentions of de 'football-blind' gals out there. but NOT US, DE FOOTBALL-LITERATE PEOPLE*
