yes pple its that time of the year again. Although June is still a month away.. we need to plan now.
First of all.. two options.. (1) Chalet or (2) just a BBQ pit at East Coast?
If we go with (2).. problems solved.. but we'll be at the mercy of the june weather.
If we go for the former.. its going to be tricky. I can get civil servants' rates at Aloha chalets but.. its a bit late and many slots are already taken cos its super peak period.
So we might have to compromise and be ready to accept any of these conditions.
1. Settle for Aloha Changi, which is quite ulu. (but boyboyan can look for nearby changi village bapoks) 2. Hold it on a weekday.(june hols but how many of us are still in sch anyway) 2. Do it on a May weekend instead. (cheaper)
What do you think, skopet players/fans?
You have a say. Pls comment.
Btw the yearly adhoc BBQ committee is recruiting pple.. be prepared to be arrow-ed. Especially graduating students and freshies who have been missing games.
thanks to swine flu and the need for quarantine, we will have to settle for the outdoors.. ECP
and dont worry syaf we will arrow more pple this time. im sure EVERYONE appreciates the immense contributions of Syafido and Boynalo to skopet's cause.
skopet would like to wish the mercurial syahir a happy 25th birthday. this sat he will sponsor a 2.5 liter cooler filled with gatorade!!..plus, powerbars!!!.. and to top that off, a free x-ray scan for every skopet player...so go break your bones for this saturday's match!!

Yes Happy Birthday Syahirrson, the man with uncanny sense of balance.
A Fadly Bear's hat-trick and a goal each from Xia Yue and Boyboyan helped Skopet FC overcome hapless Premier FC at Woodlands Sec. It was one of the best overall perfomance from Skopet FC for a long time worthy of a thrilling victory.
Premier FC was expected to seriously trouble the Skopet's defence after scoring a whopping 17 goals in their last 3 games.
They did start very brightly in the opening exchanges. However they failed to make most of their chances.Skopet FC too was looking jaded and almost lazy-looking then but they had their fair share of possession and good football in the early stages. Sticking to their 'soak and strike' gameplan , Skopt FC slowly dominate the game and should have taken the lead through XY after a long ball from Syafii to bypass the whole Premier FC's defensive backline. Woeful finishing at the last second let XY down. Man of the match Syahir was lively at the left wing and was always tormenting the Premier FC's rightback with his quick feet and darting runs.
For all their dominance and good built up , Skopet FC was very awful in their final ball and finishing. XY hit the post while Fadly squandered a glorious chance after Boyboyan flighted a menacing cross into the box. Instead Premier FC via a counter attack and a misjudgment from Skopet centerback Jonas ,took the lead halfway through the 1st half. Skopet's midfield was nowhere in sight to provide cover as the whole defensive department was overwhelmed.
It was a nightmare for Skopet FC but they showed no signs of discomfort and quickly got back into the game. An exquisite moment of genius just 2 minutes after Premier's goal set the tone for a domineering Skopet perfomance; Syahir skipped past 2 players at the left flank before releasing a defence-splitting pass to XY whose first touch was even more fantastic to create space for himself and away from the incoming defenders. XY ended the excellent Skopet build-up play with a cool finish to the bottom corner. It was all Skopet then as Premier FC's rightback continue to have a torrid time handling the in-form and skillful Syahir. Somehow the half ended with the score at just 1-1.
SKopet FC was clearly in the mood and the laid-back looking Premier FC side were always in danger of being overrun. Indeed,just 10 minutes into the 2nd half. Captain Fad got a goal from a well delivered set-piece. He did well to lose 2 of his markers defenders to head the ball home from close range. After the 2nd goal,Skopet FC was again in the ascendency and the third killer goal seemed to be only a matter of time. Mar and Boyboyan were finding all kinds of space after good work from the 2centermids Khaliq and Prem. Skopet went close on many occassions but it was another set piece in which Prem again as the provider ,floated a delicious ball into the ball which found Fad at the far post to head the ball to the back of the net.
Soon Fadly again sauntered into enemey's territory ,and drove an unstoppable low pile-driver into the bottom left corner after he latched onto a mistake by a Premier FC defender to complete his hat-trick.Premier FC would have been upset to see the goal after losing possession cheaply at the edge of the penalty box. Skopet FC continued to pose problems for Premier FC but again the final ball was sorely lacking. As Skopet tinkered a bit with their formation with a few substitutions and sub-consciously reverted to a more defensive style to hold the 3 goal lead , it was five as Boyboyan blasted a a rather tame ball goalwards 40 metres from a freekick.Premier FC goalkeeper shockingly failed to get the ball under control after maybe a wicked bounce off the pitch as the ball trickled into the back of the net. It was his last meaningful contribution before Syahir took his place.
Needless to say , the match was over as a contest and indeed it slowed down as both sides make a series of changes. They were still a few chances from both sides though as Skopet goalkeeper Rudy got to make a wonderful save after Premier FC breached the defence through the center. Syahir failed to connect a shot from just inside the box but it did not matter.
Premier FC could have no complaints as Skopet FC was clearly the better side and it was definitely an entertaining game for both sides to say the very least.
We will be slightly dissappointed to not keep a clean sheet. However let's just savour the very great start of the new league season. As I always say , well done boboys. Haha.
Obek Man(7) - 'Speaking-speaking' syndrome getting to him. Hahaha.

All goals, even Rizman's goal, were well taken. Those assisting those goals deserve commendation as well. And needless to say, my defence is as reliable as always.
Tan Hon Ming getting carried away by thoughts of Man U lifting the trophy when its not even confirmed! Watch you back!!
Nice write up BoyBoyan, makes me proud to be a Boyan. \m/
We've been stretching our opponents for the past 2 games, and we should continue doing so. In Jonas' words, "Automatic open up" should be the name of the game once possession of the ball is ours.
Oh, and automatic close in when we lose the ball. Cheers!
guys, this weekend no league game. i will arrange a friendly instead,but so far only xinmin sec 3pm is available.(hougang!!) will try get nearer but worst case scenario, be prepared to travel.
and yes prem n co, keep up the good delivery for the strikers.
First encounter between the two sides. Premier is currently second in the table having played 3 games. Its still early days but lets get moving , people. We've got some way to climb..
Arriving earliest, at about 3.45pm, I had a good look at the 2 'veteran' teams that were playing at the same venue as us. Their passing was wayward, their movements sluggish and their general outlook, well they looked veteran indeed.
Well our opponent, Jimkana, looked nothing of that sort as they arrived as 1 humongous youthful group, strolling into Yio Chu Kang secondary.
They appeared content, relaxed and compared with my Skopets, where only a handful were present at that time, I guiltily thought that we were going to be done for by their speed and movements.
Deprived of our black jerseys, Skopets made do with white, and I suppose that it was a good thing as White didn't absorb as much heat as Black does, on a heaty afternoon.
The first half kicked off frantically, as Jimkana closed down Skopets' spaces quickly, breaking attacks after attacks more often than it could be finished off.
Jimkana countered swiftly, as expected and almost nicked in with an opening goal as well, but no thanks to some rugby-like finishing, and, ahem, good goalkeeping.
A good game was brewing and it deserved to be rewarded with a goal,which duely arrived. Gratuitously, it was in Skopets favour.
A beautifully flighted left foot curler from Syaffie evaded everyone, but the posts. It was like watching a slow-motion replay, as the ball caressed the back of the net. 1-0 to Skopets, and soon after, the half time whistle was blown.
The second half promised more action from both set of teams, as Skopets obligingly stepped up another gear, passing the ball around and across the pitch, looking for that final pass. Meanwhile, Jimkana harrassed constantly, and threw everything they could to stop us.
Open play proved to be frustrating for Skopets, whom eventually extended the lead via a corner from the right. The cross wasn't cleared far enough, landing at Mar's feet at the edge of the box, who then gleefully controlled it for a moment before letting fly a chip-shot which float-lobbed above the Jimkana's goalie, and into the net. 2-0 to Skopets, and silence gripped Jimkana's players.
The goal appeared to break their resistance as Skopets extended their lead further.
Next up, pun intended, was Fad with a well placed header, again from a scrumptuous, pin-point corner delivery, thanks to Prem, guiding it into the back of the net. 3-0 to Skopets. Good goal.
Skopets fourth and last goal came curtesy of a miscontrol from Jimkana's centreback. Harassed by the tall and gangly Juffry, one of Skopets new additions, the centreback pushed the ball away only to be intercepted by Mar, who squared the ball towards the path of onrushing XY, who slid the ball past the flailing Jimkana keeper. 4-0 and you'd thhought it was game over.
It only spurred Jimkana for a fightback. Credit to them for not taking things lying down, as they pushed forward towards the end of the game, and even earning themselves a penalty, which was woefully thrashed above the bar unfortunately.
Jimkana's late rush, though aplaudable, didn't really matter in the end as Skopets held firm for a 4-0 season-greeting, moral-boosting win, in the inaugural 3rd Division of D2Dsports's Saturday 3-5pm League.
Despite the haul of goals, there are still plenty of areas and aspects of play which Skopets can definitely improve and built upon, but for the moment, we'll be more than content to bask in the aftermath of this recent victory.
Skopets, bask you will.
Yours sincerely, Lord Mar.

thx mar for the good report.more frequent pls.. lol. hmm.. watever happened to our prolific blogger and founder boyboyan? mabuk cinta kah?
ok a reminder. pls support adiksal whos organising the teams for nssl tournament. SMS him if ur interested.
psstt... rumour has it that a long-lost skopet player is making his comeback.. this week.. a player that we're used to see breaking up waves and waves of opponents' attack.
We missed out on second place by 3 goals. And lost the league by 1 points.
To add salt to injury the organiser says only division 3 has a vacancy. Meaning our rivals total football and buffalos play in div 1, while Cheshire and westlanders who finished below us play in division 2.
but who cares. We just want to have our weekly fix of competitive football. If we have to start frm the bottom so be it right guys. Lets prove our worth and climb to the top. The plus side is the div 3 is made up of mostly teams new to this league. So they could be anything. Ah the thrill..
Looking forward to next season, fad (top scorer for skopet in league season 1)
Skopet wishes Prodigy Syaf a very Happy 25th Birthday. Having risen from a knee ligament setback, Syafido hasnt look back ever since. And with the FYP out of the way and school ending soon things couldnt look more great to our most abang2 player. All the best in whatever you do. Big fish? Small fish? Big fish? Skopet Tradition calls for the bday boy to belanja his friends. See u on saturday. haha
thanks brothers for the kind words and the well wishes... i will strive to stay injury-free so as to serve skopet better... here's to many more victories and trophies to fill up our new empty trophy cabinet... skopet invicta
yes pple its that time of the year again. Although June is still a month away.. we need to plan now.
First of all.. two options.. (1) Chalet or (2) just a BBQ pit at East Coast?
If we go with (2).. problems solved.. but we'll be at the mercy of the june weather.
If we go for the former.. its going to be tricky. I can get civil servants' rates at Aloha chalets but.. its a bit late and many slots are already taken cos its super peak period.
So we might have to compromise and be ready to accept any of these conditions.
1. Settle for Aloha Changi, which is quite ulu. (but boyboyan can look for nearby changi village bapoks) 2. Hold it on a weekday.(june hols but how many of us are still in sch anyway) 2. Do it on a May weekend instead. (cheaper)
What do you think, skopet players/fans?
You have a say. Pls comment.
Btw the yearly adhoc BBQ committee is recruiting pple.. be prepared to be arrow-ed. Especially graduating students and freshies who have been missing games.
