debutant

managed to catch most of the soccer match yesterday. it was a mostly competent performance from our boys. however it wasby no means good or entertaining or championship worthy. we won rather convincingly 3-0 to be exact but in no means did it accurately reflect the match. hwa chong gave us a good run for our money and gave an extremely good account of themselves. they ran proceedings during first half and could've even nicked an early goal had it not been for lackluster finishing. but given their being basketball rejects, i wasn't too surpirsed.

goalkeeping wise, we won't given much trouble due largely to impotent hwa chong forwards who even when clean thorough, lack any semblance of composure. or talent. regardless, it was a vast improvement from the horror displays from the keeper of the last two matches, a certain mr danial izzat who has most definitely cemented his ticket out of the team. he was absolute bollocks against saints and anderson, making one gaffe after another.

take the first goal he conceded against saints. he was standing on his line, not impeded or blocked in any way by anyone and yet when one saints soccer player floated what seemed to be a perfectly harmless ball in, he let it inexplicably sail in over his tall frame. he's become the byword for butterfingers. he's the sole reason why hwa chong resorted to taking pot shots from deep into their own half. luckily before he could perform another masterclass in rubbish goalkeeping, he was unceremoniuosly dropped from the team. and just in time too. hell, i reckon he'd have trouble catching the flu. its a wonder why he wasnt dropped first chance the coach got. well im glad all this nasty business is done for.

and for the record, im backing VJC to go all the way. for old times sake.
