Enjoy!

This post is from Ang.

The last few posts from yun and i has been set as draft as it was a mistake to begin with to make them public. Things have now turned a little sour. You can only log in to view them now.

Due to technical issues, the username is now set to strikeang20@gmail.com while the password remains unchanged. (i cant seem to set it back to the original username). Pls get the password from me if u need to read the posts.

clarify

So first of all, i want to say, i was in bad mood, thus for e comment i made. but my intention was not to attack ang. no. i dun have excuses for my wad i did on e pitch, but i have reasons for my comments.

wad i wanted to say was, i expected at least abit of support from all of u, not for wad i did of course, but for wad i was feeling. the game itself was frustrating, not because we lost, but because we didnt play well at all(until now i'm still freaking frustrated), and it's even more frustrating to see xing being body check intentionally so many times, even though it was unsuccessful and it's even more frustrating to see e ref not doing anything about it. plus the fact tt so many fouls were not given, i was fking frustrated la. and imagine coming back seeing e gaffer saying i deserve a red card, tt made my day.

i was really disappointed/angry to see that it was made public tt i deserve a red card. i dun deny i deserve it, but i think writing it here is uncalled for. people can say, but certainly not my teammates.

this is soccer. i know. alot of factors can influence the results. i cannot control external factors. but i dun like to see my frens being 'beaten' up on the pitch. even if it's not xing, it's anybody else, i would be this frustrated. u all can tell me wad are the things i could have done, but all i can say is, even though wad i did was wrong, i got no regret. they deserve to know we are not going to get bullied and keep quiet about it.

u all know wad i feel abt e passing game we strive to play. i agree we need to make more passes, but i think we are over-doing it. i think everybody has got their own opinion, so this is quite debatable. the less that is said, the better. but i needed to say that because of wad i'm going to say below.

Since e team's goals and my goals are so different, and i dun enjoy playing e game anymore, i'm gonna stop playing. treat it as i got ban for violent conduct. i deserve it anyway.

even as i say that, it doesnt mean i'm not gonna play anymore.(i know whether i'm there or not doesnt make any difference) i'll still play if u guys need me. maybe when u all lack players or lack defenders. this is still my team, how can i not play when my team needs ppl. but yes, if u all got enough, den i'm not going to play. at least not recently. maybe after a while i'll like playing soccer again. but not now.

having said that, i'm not going to stop doing wad i do in bpfc. even if i'm not going to contribute on e pitch, i'll still do my job - which is to send u guys details abt matches. unless sombody wants to take over,which i dun really mind because i think my sms is exploding.(made more friends in SIM) but ya, not playing doesnt mean i'm going to severe all ties with bpfc.

so that's it. i hope u all can win more matches, play better and enjoy your game. thanks for reading.

BPFC 1-1 Orange Budget

Scorer: Alan
Assist: BX

Few of us were carrying injuries and illness, but we fought for a comeback. Things got even worse when Xing did an Owen very early on, pulling his hamstring and had to be taken off.

The play in first half was totally unpenentrative. We were losing balls in midfield area like nobody's business, tempers were flaring, esp from a certain number 10 who shouted at our own men umpteenth times. But true enuf, from a centreback position, we were just like trying our luck, it doesnt seem like anything will happen.

Even tho they had more possession, Jackson hardly got anything to do until the goal. Caught too flat and miscomm, a good header from their striker lobbed the ball over the onrushing Jackson. Just for the first time this year, we were trailing at half time.

Like Yun said, first few minutes of second half we were equally crap. But as the game go on, we began to get a better foothold. Song's excellent pass found Alan with an open goal. A bouncing ball it was, he whacked it against the crossbar when it was easier to put it to the back of the net.

We had waves and waves of attacks thereafter. Im sure those on the pitch can feel the adrenaline rush and the desire to win, at least i did. Most of us were running like dogs, chasing and putting pressure, hoping to get the equaliser we so much desire for. We were hungry for the goal. and it was a collective effort i must say.

And the goal did come. A throughball from BX put Alan free on goal, this time round, he placed his shot and equalised. The best word to describe my feeling then:

"YEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeAAAAAAAA!!!!!"

1-1. But we were not stopping from there. A nice interplay saw BX feeding Shengjie on goal after excellent shielding from goalscorer Alan on the defender. Toe Poke, Zham, place, whatever except an extra touch, its probably at the back of the net. But no. He took that extra touch. It fell to the keeper, and then needlessly sliding in on the keeper and that nearly resulted in a brawl from both sides.

First timer centreback Ang was lucky not to concede the penalty after bringing down Mr Singlet in the box. The fall was deeemed a little too theatrical by the referee who booked him for diving. Well, cant blame the ref, the entire team thot he dived too besides shuheng who actually saw it.

Tho it aint easy game, but i enjoyed it.

Alan made full use of the chance to go to the top of the scorer's chart in Yuhao's and PY's absence. BX went on to extend his lead on the top of the assist chart, 2 away from the nearest competitor Oon. On the uglier side, Shengjie has joined Kai and Shuheng on 2 yellow cards.

Team fund: +$59 (Nxt game likely to be a free game)

The board has decided to veto Steven's MOTM last week because only 4 pple voted. Even tho Steven got half of the votes, that pathetic 2, because of a small sample size, it was deemed to be an unfair test. As a result, last week's game as no MOTM.

The red uncles might have gathered their firepower for the rematch, lets not take them too lightly. We must win the game handsomely as this will be a farewell match for beefy attacker Song who leaves for Istanbul on the tuesday after the game.

BPFC 1-1 NTU hall 5

Scorer: Alan
Assists: Kelvin

Tackles were flying in a game spoilt by the heavy rain with both teams looking for the winning goal.

Long term absentee Joel returned but could only last 30mins or so after his boots gave way.

BPFC got the lead in the first half when steven's corner found kel whose half volley went in the direction of Alan who only needed a slight touch to change the ball's direction into the net.

Heavy rain soon followed in the second half and it was difficult for e game. Jackson conceded through a well taken freekick. Wall was formed too slowly and together with the heavy rain, it was a keeper's worst nightmare.

At 1-1, both teams looked to get the winning goal and we well had 3 chances but took none of them.

Steven's burst down the left wing saw him send a superb cross on the run where Alison was caught surprised by the missed header from the defenders. His reaction was a little too late to convert the header from within the 6 yard box.

Steven take one further from last week's unwillingness to shoot from 6 yard box. This time round, Ang's low cross was missed by many on the slippery ground but found steven lurking right on the 6 yard box. First touch to control, second touch to put it over the bar. The team began to wonder how he managed to score from long range against the Red uncle's team when he cudnt convert from the front.

Mark spurned the last of all chances when he cudnt capitalise on the opposing defence's mistake. Running down clear on goal with only the keeper to beat, his shot went above the bar just like steven's.

No ill intentions to those who missed, cause i may well be in that position and missed the shot as well. But when we cant take chances, we don deserve to win. Missing key players should never be an excuse as well.

On a lighter note, Alan is looking for the player of the month award after scoring in 3 consecutive games, shooting himself to the top of the scorer's chart. Being placed on the wing previously throughout the season, the diminutive striker seems to be calling out to the gaffer that the AMRL position should be in red.

"F*** la"
"Eh control yourself leh"
"you control your man first lah"

Moments later...

"FU*K you ref!"
And HE sees RED.
A certain right back: "fu*k you back"

Next game is tough. Psych yourself up.

BPFC 5-0 Lucasfield FC

Scorers: Yuhao x 2, Alan, GuoXing, Alison
Assists: I cant remember. All i recall was all the goals are some sort of solo effort.

Players from all around the world showcased in a game at cck sec on saturday. The asian boys rose up to the challenge against the likes of a commanding Mexican centre back and an English-drogba upfront.

We didnt quite play the passing game we wanted but still showed glimpses of the plan we had in mind. An early goal calmed the nerves of the pure Chinese side. Yuhao scored from outside the left penalty area with seemingly no danger from our side. A curler from his right boot saw the ball float into the top right hand corner and the keeper had simply no chance.

The second didnt take too long to come. Just like how Vagner Love scores freely for my Manchester City side in FM09, Yuhao showed the 'world' how to score goals from nowhere. A half volley, this time from outside the right penalty area, it clips against the post before finding its way into the net. 2-0.

There were many chances in between which the team failed to take. Many one-on-one chances but the awesome keeper managed to keep them out with quick rushing out. Alan could have won a penalty should he fall down under that challenge whilst Yun failed to convert after a bold attempt to chip the ball over the onrushing keeper.

A left cross from dono who found alan totally free in the box. And i really mean totally free. Not even the keeper was there. He even had time to control the ball and measure his shot into the net. Last game's hattrick hero and MOTM is staking a strong claim for a first team spot.

3-0 it was into half time.

Beefy striker Song was introduced as a right winger in the second half. In his first touch on the ball, his quick feet saw him dribble past 2 defenders with relative ease before laying the ball to Alison for a shot. In his second attempt on the ball, he brought down a high ball from Ang with one confident touch. No wonder Xing commented:

"Every touch is a golden touch."

Indeed. I totally agree. But Im afraid we will miss the striker for 6 months as he will be away from mid July to Sweden in an attempt to meet up with old friend Zlatan for an exchange of skills.

It wasnt so one sided in the second half. We were pinned down in our half for majority of the time. We played crappy football but still manage to find the net on 2 other occasions.

Xing showed us why he is the best dribbler after a solo effort saw him weave his magic past i dono how many players before coolly rounding the keeper and allow the ball to roll over the line to make it 4-0.

Alison made it 5 after someone played him through in a counter attack. Having time on the ball, he ran down into their half and had time to aim and place a shot into the net.

It could easily have been 6 if Steven had been more decisive. With 3 free man in the box and a direct chance to shoot being in a one-on-one position, he unselfishly play the ball to his teammate and that itself screw up the whole chance. It even had the opponent wondering if the referee had blown the whistle to stop gameplay or call for offside.

A few notable mistakes were made in defence but at the end of the day, Jackson hardly had anyth to do. Perhaps his best contribution was his ice box and the 100 pluses he brought. For that, u might want to consider to give him a chance to get the MOTM.

See u guys this sunday against NTU hall 5. (pls claim ur assists)
We should be playing Orange budget next sunday. They are a good side.
