we lose as a team and you'll never walk alone!...
yes...when we lose, win or draw....we go thru it as a team..its part of football...
nobody likes to lose...everybody wants to win..
but we can't win everything....it was just skopet's off day..but let's not take anything from our young opponents, no matter how much we hate to admit it.....respect is part of football..
there's always room for improvement and we'll learn from our mistakes....
we have our fair share of chances(i'm guilty as charge) and shortcomings(still guilty)...
but in the end, the team that took their chances and took advantage of an opportunity, in each half, wins.
From a positive note, even though we're 2-0 down, we still have the drive and desire to get back in the game. Thanks to Malik who scored a sweet volley out of a corner which evades everyone except him. I'll take a lost with try and effort rather than just "effortlessy-giving up hope" attempt. Although we could have played better, we didn't actually play badly at all.
Really hope u guys share this view.
its not about playing the best football, being the deserving winners, superiorities, having referees' decision going our way, having the best players, creating more chances and dominating games...blah blah blah...in football, you can have all that and yet lose a match....ask man utd, barcelona, arsenal,chelsea etc.
all the best teams in the world tasted defeats....who hasn't??...
the difference btween us and them is that they got pay for it...we pay to play(and that includes losing)
so let's all reflect...and improve our next game...learn from mistakes...put this disappointment aside...and let's move on and look forward to the next game...
look at liverpool..4 lose in a row, in a bad run of form + no gerrard + torres(80%) + carragher(under scrutiny from a poor form) + leiva (underachiever n not the best central mid in the team)...and yet...scored a brilliant victory against the defending EPL champions(who gracefully accept defeat like a man...kudos to that)
too bad i'm using this as an example...
see you in the next match(although friendly) and put our game face on..
woooo....

Div 2 kicks off!
The new season started promisingly for skopet with maximum points and clean sheets after two games. A couple of new faces have joined us and the attendance rate is encouragingly good. Its early days yet but a good start nonetheless for us in division 2.
Skopet vs EUFCWe received our trophies before the game with EUFC captain gamely presenting it to us.
The first half ended goalless no thanks to woeful finishing. XY especially had worked himself to good one on one positions but it just wasnt going to be his day as somehow the keeper kept everything out. A defender even blocked a goalmouth 'turn and shoot' by fad. enough said.
To the bench's relief, second half hero Zaly stepped up and got us the lead after being fed through on goal. In the last 10mins Sop sealed the win with an audaciously beautiful chip over the keeper. It was an overall good team performance with lots of passing and good movement.
Skopet vs East Coast veterans
This game was won in the first half. As expected of a good veteran team, the opponents' passing was a delight to watch at times. It took some time for skopet to break their defence with a clinical finish by syahir from the left wing. Receiving a successful hollywood pass from Prem, the diminutive winger galloped to goal and wrong footed the keeper. Minutes later substitute Fad made a mess of a great opportunity but luckily managed to slide-flick the ball to double the lead. Nearing half time, XY was rewarded for his tireless efforts when he chested a cross from Zaly into goal. Second half was a different story as the veterans upped the tempo and came close to scoring twice. But our defence held firm with a disciplined solid performance. Keeper Rudy made a sensational save from a well taken free-kick to keep the clean sheet. Manager Rizman made dozens of substitutions to ensure everyone get the minutes and yet not compromising our gameplay. He converted fullbacks to wingers, Centre forward to sweeper.. all in the same game. he has definitely earned the nickname "TinkerMAN'
-Fad.
