Foreword: due to a very important test this week, this post wont be too long.


Scorers: Ang, Mark
Assists: Steven, Lem

With up to 75.5% of the squad gone,
50% - Xing
15% - Yuhao
5% - Favian
2.5% - Kelvin
2.5% - Joel
0.5% - Song Yee

The team still managed to come out on tops and it was a hard-fought game that saw us equalise and later on snatch a win right under their noses right at the death.

First half was 0-0 and the best chance of the half probably fell to NJC who forced a diving save from Jackson early on. There were little or no threats from both sides and centre mid was hardly dominate in the absence of Xing.

Early on in the second half, Shuheng was given a foul against for a handball in the penalty box which the defender angrily argued against the referee. But well, you cant expect the ref to say eh sorry wrong decision, now we dropball. Hence we lan lan accepted it. And i must say the resulting penalty was well converted, right into the top corner, watched by thousands of Team Viet Cong from the back.

It was a good wake up call for the sloppiness we portrayed and it was a matter of time before the goal will come. Some issues on the field saw 2 of their players booked but i hardly like to elaborate on these.

A quick taken short freekick by Lem from outside the box released Steven on the left. His cross into the box was met by the head of Ang where it saw a tussle of Mark, Ang and the keeper. The 3 of us clashed with Ang heading the ball towards goal, albeit a slow and lobby one. 1-1 and we are back.

And right into the death before the final whistle goes, disaster struck for NJC. In a somewhat tight defence, playmaker Lem managed to squeeze a through ball to speedy striker Mark who duely finished of the move. 2-1 BPFC and the final whistle goes not long after.

We hardly played to such tight contest and what more with out 24.5% of the squad available.
(If any kind soul is free, do a better match report)

And here's your pick for MOTM.
Steven - 2 significant runs down the left wing saw him free in the box. Numerous corners too!
Ang - numerous well timed tackles and clearances and occasional dribbles down the right wing and a somewhat fortuitious goal.
Mark - it takes one good touch for a striker to impress in a game. Just like Torres and his goal in euro 2008 final
Jackson - Unlucky not to get a clean sheet
Lem - Despite not being able to 'hook' the ball back umpteen times and even a corner kick that went straight out, the dead ball specialist still managed 1 assist on a field which he needed to cover more ground than usual.
Huang SJ - Some weird tricks in central defence as usual including attempting to head the ball back but deceivingly used his leg. but had some crucial well timed tackles.

Influential players out

For the first time in BPFC's history, it was a one-man show for the man of the match award for the previous 4-2 win at Sembawang Sec. 7 votes against none, the only better reason I could think of is that you guys wanna vote for me due to a sublime goal but becoz i didnt put my name there, you guys had no choice but to vote for the next better player! Alright, a fine performance from the influential centre mid Xing saw him cap off a wonderful afternoon with an individual move finished off with a well placed shot beyond the reach of the keeper.

However, it was soon followed by bad news as the injured Lem declared himself out till May despite being unchecked by club doctors. The club does not wish to pursue any malingering cases but warned its players that the act of malingering can lead to dire consequences. We wish the mercurial midfielder well wishes in a bid to recover from MULTIPLE injuries, one of which is not easily treated by rest or drugs, however, time heals all wounds.

The other only natural centre mid and newly declared MOTM GX has also ruled himself out for most games for now on due to a full time contract with a retail shop that requires him to work on weekends. Unfortunately, due to the club's poor financial status, we are unable to outbid the retail shop for a full time contract with the club's star player. To the dismay of many fans, the skills and talents of GX might not be on show for a good period of time.

Journalist: Do you think you can cope with the loss of key central midfielders in GX and BX the X's?
"We are now like Arsenal without its key midfielders in Cesc Fabregas and Arshavin, toothless in attack and unable to hold defensively. Indeed, both players' importance to the club cannot be underestimated. However, it takes character to stand up in times of crisis and be counted for. I believe whoever is being picked to replace them in the next game will have the ability to rise up to the occasion."

Journalist: There has been rumours that the club is looking into the transfer market in a bid to strengthen the team, most notably Ben Foster after Jackson's recent blunder at Sembawang. Is that true?
"Bullshit. All my players are handpicked by me and they are here to stay. All human makes mistake. Just like you did when u asked me this question."

Without further hesitation, Gaffer Ang was seen storming out of the conference room. BPFC's players are thought to respond positively at the Gaffer's comments.

The recent abscence of singing leftback Joel Yeo has raised certain doubts amongst the players regarding his commitment to the club. However, in his absence, Joel has proven that he had real business to deal with all along. In a presidential election yesterday, Joel has been appointed the VICE-PRESIDENT of the prestigious NUS choir for the next academic year. (most parts of this post might not be real but this is a true piece of news.)

It remains to be seen whether Joel can bring his leadership abilities to the pitch especially after the absence of Xing and BX meant rock at the back Yun will most likely be handed the role of a holding midfielder. In times when the goals conceded record has been shaky, the fans are looking towards Joel for inspiration for being the next commanding centreback at BPFC amidst his new appointment in NUS choir.

Thats all for today's news at Strikes' times. Stay tuned for the next issue.
