Burn baby burn!

Last Saturday's match has a few 'never' to begin with. Never had we played on artificial turf for friendly. Never had we been bubbled by someone at the very last minute- not me ah. Never had Choon lost a game with Skopet. Until last Saturday. But all's good people. At least we lose with dignity. Why do I say so? Let's see..

And so we had our match in the prick of noon. The sun's directly above our head in scorching heat. We knew nothing about our opponent other than the fact that they had defeated Team Orange prior to this match at a slightly impressive scoreline. Adding on to this new experience, is the entrance of a new referee whom we grew to hate, Luigi- Ref Mario's other half. Missing out on several players but not handicapped in the confidence department, we hoped for the best out of this match. Beat them to the scoreline. Perhaps keep a clean sheet.

But noooo... What we had was a team that falls to the ground at the slightest body contact. Somehow, their 'agonising cry' was convincing enough for silly Luigi. To add on to this insult, most of the time the aggression was initiated by them but when we stood our ground, it is them who fall.. Come on guys, there are limits to playing Drogba. As a result we don't get most of our fouls since we were not convincing enough in our wailing.

Nonetheless, credits to the opponents for the goals they have earned. They drew first blood due to a jetlagged reaction in front of our goalmouth resulting from a corner kick. We managed to pull up the score to 1-1 through fadly only to be cancelled by the opponents minutes after. All these were in the first half. Reminded that we will not be getting any favour from the referee, we begin the second half being a little more organised in midfield. Alas, although our opponent lose their zest a little, we let in a soft goal from a through pass. By that time tempers were escalating high, hard tackles and scathing remarks were thrown tactlessly. Final score RFC 3 Skopet 1.

Chins up guys. Albeit all the setbacks, I believe we gave our all for this match considering the circumstance. This is an opportunity for us to bounce back, learn from our mistakes and give our all for the next match. Stay tune for a rematch with RFC.

no excuses. the 10 and 1/2(zai haha) men we had on the field didnt do enough to earn a result against a youthful team that can play good football.

nonetheless kudos to all for not giving up. we had our moments in the game. prem hitting the post and others missing a sitter. hard luck.

what this match highlight is the need to have ample players and reserves. So pls our usual players dont MIA all at once can? the last time that happened was the blackest day in skopet history remember..

thanks to guest players khamsya and imran for helping us. 9 skopet players on matchday. **** la
