A spirited and great display lads, this was our first game after our despairing drew w SMU tt cost us our title in the SUNig and surely it doesnt seem like we guys lost touch in football.

The first 20 mins was a little of a blip but soon after it was just SIM. We controlled the game well, d defence was well guarded and it was an encouraging performance by Ray back in the goal line. In the midfield department, the engine was nicely oiled and Romulo did an excellent job in holding d ball up w Sebastian showing signs of his early promises in his CV.

The first goal was conjunct out of nothing. A quick free kick taken by Brandon was passed on to Darren and albeit all shouts n calls that he was crossing instead of shooting, he took a step and let fly a howitzer that ricocheted off the NP's defenders headed n into d net. 1-0.

In due honesty the referee was full of nerves and it was evidently shown in the last 10 mins of d game where he blew f a foul in d box by young Bryan. It was a weak foul but the penalty was coolly converted home by their no. 7, which is plying his trade in Gombak Prime League but clearly and sadly not showing any indication tt he belonged there.

The last hurray belonged to Bryan, who received a succulent throw ball from i-forgot-who and he dipped a ball over d head of the NP keeper which hit d post and crossed the net. Despite obvious signs tt d ball crossed d line and the over zealous jumping of joy by one of d NP jogger, the referee dropped his whistle and forgot t blow it for a goal. To hide his embarrassment, he waved for the game t carry on but lets face d fact, it was 2-1 to SIM in the dying mins.

Lets continue this winning tradition babes, we can do it.

Our journey so far..

Fresh from our below-par performances at SUNig 2010 where we were undone by our very own errors, we came in 2nd behind a lucky NTU but kudos t them f their nv say die spirit. Lets forget about this competition and lets focus on what we have got next, IVP 2010/2011.

Marko has put in a commendable amount of effort t tranform this SIM team and I would say d committee working behind this team has also put in a considerable amount of dedication n hard work, arranging games, writing proposals, sending SMS are no joke so guys, please have a least courtesy next time t reply on time or t EVEN REPLY.

Not gonna pin point but some players have been playing below expectations n seriously, I wld say tt d standard of some players are on par or are putting in more effort than those playing at a frequent pace and of higher standards. Sometimes, seeing all these rly sent a heart wrenching feel so I wld rly urge everyone, from now onwards, t put in their 101% hard work and sweat t make this team successful and t stop that talk of, 'yes, next year we will be stronger'.

Cheers.

Crunch Time!

with only 3 more days t our vital game against SMU, we must head in t d game w d correct mindset and mentality. With due honesty, we alws started d games in a bag of nerves and I believed tts d reason why in both games we conceded an early goal.

Early goals are bullshit because fr tt moment on we have t start chasing d game. Guy, lets buck up, lets settle dwn, approach d game d day bef w d mentality tt we got what it takes t bring d opponent down.

SMU aint any pushovers, they r a decent team w hardworking players. So, lets go, lets start our road to victory this v moment mentally and lets strut our stuff in tngt's trng and d game on friday.

SIM HERE WE GO!
