1. A Very Happy and Prosperous New Year to skopet's Choon, Jiaming, Xia yue, Jonas, Weihong and Jason. Belated again.. I know. Please collect your hong baos from CO Finance Boyboyan.

2. Happy Birthday to Mar! oh no belated again. Yes the handsome abang with lebat chest hair is now a sexy 27 yrs old. Best wishes from the team and may you long continue lending your wisdom and experience to Skopet FC. haha.

3. Last league game against mavericks : 3-2. Blew a 2 goal lead (rizman,senthil) by half time. Prem netted the winner in 2nd half. 2 yellow cards to sop and fad, admittedly horrible tackle. Like Joel used to say, "they like to go down so much give properly ah". 2 penalties conceeded, One converted. Three points to skopet. 4th in the league. and life goes on.

4. Last Sat's friendly: Disappointing 3-1 loss. Dominated proceedings. Defensive errors. Blunt strikeforce. Pulled a goal back courtesy of Fad before opponents sucker punched the 3rd goal while we were laying siege on their goal. positives : played an attacking game. unlucky not to score on countless occasions. And of course.. The Return of The Prodigy Syaf. Rehabilitating his way to fitness. Played 15 mins and emerged unscathed. Well done.

5. This Sat 3pm Toa payoh Sec. against Westlanders FC. be there by 2.

The tackle on the poor lad by Fad was indeed a horrible one. Witnessing it from a few yards off, I really thought it looked more like a wrestling move made popular by a masked guy in WWE.A tad acrobatic and yes,impressive.

This saturday i think i shall not come too early. Like some one wise said to me other time i came too early,

" Hey, Coming early doesn't mean you start off first ".

But with that said, coming late could mean being benched for 80 mins.(read: the whole game)

3rd Match

Skopet FC vs Mavericks
Sat 17th Jan 3pm
Orchid Park Secondary School ( Artificial Field )
Black Kit
Just a reminder we drew 1-1 on our first encounter with the Mavericks and won 4-2 on the 2nd one so this will be the 3rd time the 2 teams will face off. Our opponent is looking to get back on track after a not-so-good start to their league debut. Expect a tough fight on this one.
I am not sure about the line-up on this one but from what I heard plenty can't make it so it's up to the rest coming to shine. Lets just do our best and get the precious 3 points.
Some logistics issues. I know it's hard for some of u guys esp to those who are still schooling but we are getting another set of jerseys. (away kit ). Its white with green at the sides - just like our black jersey but different colour. If it's not too hard , pls try to bring in 25 bucks tomorrow.We will confirm again the sizes and numbers after the league game.
$16-$17 --- Upcoming New kit
$6-$7 ---- Match Fee
$1-$3 ---- Save The Skopet Fund.
So yeah $25 if that's not too much to ask. Later guys.
Skopet Invita.

Tough league indeed.

2 words - Holy Crap!!!.. haha. Just look at the latest results for our league guys.
http://www.d2dsports.com/results-sat-5pm-2/

Crazy amount of goals. Wowie. And there's one game where there is 7 red cards!! Wholesome. Happening.

A very good perfomance from Skopet FC as a whole. The new additions clicked well with the team. We could have tried to get as many goals as possible during the game after leading 3-0 at half-time but woeful finishing let us down. haha.. Haiz..Our captain marvel got his 50th Skopet goal and debutant Xia Yue got a brace. Lovely goals.

Ah one more thing. Everyone should know this bah. Haha. Since its a league , we should go for a win every match of course. So playtime for each individual varies especially with many reserves. As they always say . the team comes first . If let's say u never get to play at all during one of the matches , try to understand etc etc. But so far everyone who came got to play even its was for a few minutes. Hopefully that would be the case. Same thing apply for the substitutions , just obliged if u are taken out during the course of the game. Be more 'pro'. Hah. Xie xie.

Aight thats all from the pin-point crosser. hahaha. Updates/Next match review will be posted soon.

Crazy league la! Half of it is made up of good teams that break the goal records, while the other half is made up of teams that break your legs. Impressive, and chilling too.

About our last weekend's result, I thought 3-0 was a little decent and a little disappointing too. Plenty of good chances went begging.

Though our passing game got better, the room for improvement is still there.

Harder games coming guy, prepare yourselves - cos we gotta win 'em all.

1 or 2

Skopet FC
League Edition


Skopet started the new season on the wrong foot having been beaten by the youthful, Tohari Pajian-led team, Total Football. The score was 2-1 with Boyboyan netting the consolation goal.

Despite the lost, the mood was definitely fantastic and things seemed more 'pro' with everyone donning the skopet jersey(no more guest players with own shirts) and having a prodigy manager on the bench. And almost everyone came in time for the team warm-up. Let me point out that with the exception of Mar who is from work, the rest shouldnt miss it. We'll always start half an hour before kickoff, so pls note.

In all honesty the opponents weren't the best we've had. But fitness-wise we were pwned. Well they took their chances and thus deserved the 3 points. Our defence worked their socks off and held the attacks well but our offense was err.. blunt.

A few players pointed out during the after-action-review that our compact defense formation was taking a toll on our wingers who are unfit enough to fulfil that role. I understand the concerns but to push it to them would be unfair. Centremids and Forwards and everyone else.. (isnt that everyone).. shouldnt we be defending and attacking together? I saw Jiaming overlapping all the way to the touchline and prem playing him the ball, which is good, in the first half. hmm perhaps that explains the cramp? hah.
Anyway if all of us are more composed, run more, hold the ball better, find space better yadda yadda yadda.. i think we can even win a game with a 6-3-1 formation haha.

All im saying is we cant blame the formation, guys. You can blame the referee, the pokok, the irritatingly noisy opponent's coach, or wateva haha. at the end of the day as soccer players we should be able to adapt and play in any way required and of course fitness has to be there. So this thing that you're concerned with.. we just need to get used to it. Take this as a learning point. Our goal. To be resolute in defence and discover our attacking verve. 8 more games to go. No worries, we WILL get it right. haha. oh and thank god for rolling subs.

WE WILL AND CAN GET IT RIGHT. Because we have the mettle to do it. On your own, do what you can about your fitness. And have faith in yourself and in your mates.

I will never be satisifed with a loss, we need to go into our 2nd game with a winning mentality and forget about the loss. We MUST win. Period.

In fairness, the defence wasn't to blame and was decently superb throughout the game -- and I feel its our attacking game that needs to be improved. Our accuracy, timing, and those little 1-2 passes were left wanting.

Here's a tip, go out and buy a soccer ball. Stand 2-3m in front of a wall and keep passing to yourselves via the wall. Gradually increase distance and strength. Now this a wall pass, and this is how we overcome/pull away from our opponent's defenders. Practice this passing technique till you've figured the manner in playing the ball with the correct amount of weight. IMHO, we need to improve on this, instead of only running with the ball.

I would like to apologise for my dismal performance on that fateful day. I was indeed touching the ball and running (yes, running) for the first time in 14 days after marriage.Sorely in need of match fitness, I would like to proudly proclaim that I attended fitness session the following day at dragonscage and regained my MOJO. I am training on my own and hopefully can string the defence to attack via Prem this Sat. Go Skopet!

first match

Skopet Fc Vs Total Football
Sat 3 Jan, 3 pm
Tanjong Katong Sec
First game of the year. Skopet's first league game ever. First time playing for skopet for at least 3 players. First time we have more than 15 players for a game. Whatever happens, tmrw will be a significant moment in skopet's short history. Its up to us then to decide how it goes. Good luck team skopet..

Line-up

probable first 11.
(at least for 1st half)


1.[VC]Rudy (GK)
2.Jason (SW)
3.Jiaming(RB)
4.Faisal(LB)
5.Shahwall(CB)
6.CheungChi(LM)
7.Mar(CM)
8.Prem(CM)
9.Saliman(RM)
10.Yusuf(ST)
11.[C]Rizman(ST)

13.Weihong (DEF/LM)
14.Monteiro (DEF)
15.Khaliq(CM)
16.Zai
17..Fadly (ST)


Manager : Syaf

Syaf will handle all substitutions. Which im sure we'll have plenty of; depending on situation. Match fee to be collected before the game. Rizman bawak tabung pls.
We're looking at our new additions tmrw to see if they can fit in. Those on the bench pls dont be depressed. Rotation is key according to Rafa.

Pls be punctual. And discipline-wise, remember the team that played after us last week?
Lets take from them the positives, which rudy has discussed at length.

Jersey issues.. yet to be settled. Standby 18 bucks at most.. for a new away kit. Current numbers remain.. So to khaliq and the rest.. no. 26 and above are available.
