Former SAFFC striker Aleksander Duric has confirmed he will stay in Singapore next season saying that his new club will probably be 'somewhere in the east.'
Two choices there, Geylang United and Tampines Rovers.
He has of course previously lined up with Geylang United, 2001-2004, and by returning to Bedok Stadium he would relish the opportunity of Asian club competition with the Eagles. Click to continue reading...

Hassan Sunny was the first player to come out for his warming up
The Lions kept their composure well in the first half (save for that slip when they allowed the Indonesians to level shortly after they took the lead in the 10th minute) to restrict their guests from prowling deep into their half to maintain their 2-1 lead. Click to continue reading...

Referee Abdul Malik made a brave decision to carry on the match despite the heavy downpour (as pictured above) that started prior to the start of this live televised game.
Frankly, this fixture would have been a title decider perfectly fit for this season's finale, but it wasn't the case after all. Click to continue reading...

According to Red Sports, SAF striker Aleksander Duric is set to reject a move to Indonesian side Sriwijaya. Summat to do with the contract he was sent to sign bore no relation to the one he had agreed on when he had visited Palembang previously. Click to continue reading...

HO CHI MINH CITY, 24 October 2009: A 2-2 draw with hosts and Asean champions Vietnam was enough for Singapore to emerge victorious in the Ho Chi Minh International Tournament.
Shahril Ishak captained the country for the first time on his 71st appearance in the absence of the suspended Noh Rahman. Click to continue reading...

HO CHI MINH CITY, 20 October 2009: A superb John Wilkinson header midway through the first half sealed a 1-0 win for Singapore over the Korea University Selection Team in the opening match of the Ho Chi Minh City International Tournament at the Thong Nhat Stadium.
Man-of-the-Match Wilkinson timed his run into the box perfectly to meet club-mate Shaiful Esah's wickedly struck freekick directing his header into the corner giving the rooted Korean keeper no chance. Click to continue reading...

SAFFC's 1-0 victory last night against Sengkang Punggol meant they became SLeague champions for a record 4th time - something not even Manchester United have achieved as Aleksander Duric told me last week. The bean pole striker made his own personal tally 28 for the season as he looks to sew up the golden boot award. Click to continue reading...

I would consider myself a SAFFC's jinx if they couldn't beat Sengkang Punggol at Jalan Besar Stadium just now, as I was in person to see their last two matches (against Gombak United and Super Reds),which they played below expectation, that would have allowed them to pop open the champagne.
So third time lucky for the Warriors with their victory over the Dolphins at Jalan Besar Stadium, thus sealed their fourth consecutive league title and another shot to next year's ACL tournament. Click to continue reading...

SAF v Albirex Niigata 2-1 (Aleksander Duric 2; Ryohei Maeda) 1,365
Of course it's not over yet. But going by my rusty maths SAF need just five more points to secure their 4th consecutive SLeague title. Two more goals by Duric give him 26 for the season. Click to continue reading...

Duric - 人在江湖,身不由己? (whose existence in the team beyond his control?)
A colleague of me (whom I call him "阿兄"- "Big Brother" in Teochew dialect) offered a different perspective on the current state of the national team a few days ago.
"We need a complete overhaul of the system. Click to continue reading...

SAF seem to fly in the face of accepted football practise in the early 21st century. Many successful clubs round the world look to power and pace with healthy doses of youth as they seek to fill their mantelpiece with silverware.
Much of Gombak United's success has come from their powerful triumvirate up front of Agu Casmir, Kingsley Njouke and Gabriel Obatola. Click to continue reading...

Gombak United v DPMM 3-3 (Emmanuel Emuejeraye, Gabriel Obatola 2,; Shahrazen Said 2, Abdelhamid Berguiga) 2,062
They went 2-0 up, DPMM pulled back that deficit, Obatola netted a late pen but the visitors resuced a point with Said's last gasp equaliser. It may have ben a great game of football but with the SLeague title at stake you can be sure that the respective coaches would have prefered a scrappy 1-0 win and with it three points.

I know it's hypothetical but were DPMM succeed in taking Christian Gonzales to Singapore would he be as successful there as he has been in Indonesia? A post on Kallang Roar got me thinking about that one.

A rare double header last night in Singapore with SAF hosting Young Lions while Gombak United hosted Home United nearby.
Duric gave the Champions the lead half way through the first half and I sat back expecting a goal glut. I had chosen this game in expectation of seeing Young Lions capitulate but I was mistaken. Click to continue reading...
