Newly promoted Persidafon have become the ISL's whipping boys. Back to back thumpings, 5-0 at
Sriwijaya, 5-2 at Persiram, have left them 15th in the 18 team league with nine points from their
opening 11 games. Of concern to Sergei Dubrovin will be a defence that has leaked 30 goals in that
time; an ignominy they share with fellow Papuans Persiram.
Tomorrow sees the Singapore Cup Final taking place at the Jalan Besar Stadium. Home United will
look to complete the first leg of a domestic double when they take on League Cup winners Albirex
Niigata.
Last year's affair saw Bangkok Glass defeat Tampines Rovers 1-0 (programme cover left) while I got
shitfaced in an infamous bar district with persons unknown and returned home with just a toy bus
for my son.
I have been most remiss in my coverage of the SLeague in recent weeks and I do apologise for that.
I hope to take some games in before the end of the season though.
So how do we stand as we enter the final furlong? I think it's fair to say it's a two horse race as
the table shows;
1 - Home United 29 22 2 5 72-28 682 - Tampines Rovers 29 21 3 5 60-23 66
Four games remaining and a two point difference make for another exciting climax to the SLeague.
It's been a while since I've had a good wholesome rant about football in Singapore. I find it very
therapeutic to lash out once in a while from the anonymity of a keyboard and decry the faults so
evident in others while I am never called to task on my opines!
Personally speaking I find Singapore football to be exciting.
SLeague
Geylang United v Woodlands Wellington 1-0 (Jung Hee Bong)Tanjong Pagar v Etoile 0-2 (Theo Raymond,
Johnathon Toto)
Geylang kept up their winning streak, that's four straight coupled with four clean sheets moves
them up to 7th. Etoile have a new chairman and celebrate by climbing to 5th in the league.
