Where has the filling gone for Home United "sandwich" ??"Two pieces of toasts without fillings in
the middle" as what it sums up Home United performance in their season curtain-raiser against
defending S.League champions Tampines Rovers in the Charity Shield match at JBS.
The void left by Valery Hiek was clearly illustrated in the goal conceded in less than five minute
how the once stout brick-like Protectors' defense was fully exploited by Stags' new signing Davor
Piskor with not follow up from Lionel Lewis' narrowing of angle from near distance.

SINGAPORE, 15 JANUARY 2012 – The Courts Young Lions emerged victorious over the H-TWO-O
Ultimate Dream Team after a nerve-wrecking penalty shoot-out in a match that was played at Jalan
Besar Stadium this evening.

Priority for Lionel is his family and his club, Home UnitedWhile many consider retiring from
international football at the age of 29 is too young, especially for the case of goalkeeper.
After all, great custodians like Dino Zoff and Peter Shilton did maintain their presence between
the posts for their countries past their forties.
To many at the game just now at Bishan Stadium, they jolly well knew that Home United's title fate
was no longer in their hands after they lost to their closest rivals Tampines Rovers nights ago
that saw they being dislodged from the top of the table.
Home United - 2011 League runners-upStill to the recently crowned Singapore Cup winners, they
remained focused with their task tonight and went on to beat a depleted Geylang United 5-0 before
collecting the league runners-up cheque of $75,000 and medals from the guest of honour, Mr Sarjit
Singh who is the honorary treasurer of the FAS at the end of the night.
Mr Teo Hock Seng, Tampines chairman hugged by his players
after the 1-0 victory over Home United on an atrocious field. A decent turn out at the Tampines
Stadium saw the epic clash between Tampines Rovers and league leaders Home United on a unplayable
surface marred by the heavy downpour before the start.

Isa and H-TWO-O - a perfect combinationBoasting a score of 13.3 in the pre-season beep test, Home
United and Singapore national team midfielder Isa Halim is one of the best in the business.
Scree-grab from the livestreamingWhen asked after the loss to the Jordanians earlier in their first
meeting of the qualifiers if we still stand a chance of making to the next round, assistant coach V
Sundramoorthy said there's still "mathematical" chance of doing so if we could take "maximum points
out of the remaining matches".

SINGAPORE, 7th October 2011: Singapore beat Philippines 2-0 in an International friendly
that was played at Jalan Besar Stadium on 7 October 2011.
In a media release by the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) this afternoon, national coach
Raddy Avramovic had named the squad of 18 players to represent the Singapore Selection in their
annual fixture against the Selangor Selection in the Sultan of Selangor Cup this coming Saturday at
Shah Alam.
Based on their line up in their league fixture against Albirex Niigata (Singapore) that featured
the likes of Lionel Lewis, Shi Jiayi, Qiu Li and Juma'at Jantan, one question floated into my mind
and made me wonder if these Home United's Lions (and the rest from other teams in the S.League)
felt that national duty is become a liability for having to juggle their club commitments after
such a hectic international duty?
SINGAPORE, 25 August 2011: Thailand and Singapore played out a goalless draw in an
International Friendly on 24 August 2011 at the Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok,
Thailand.
It was an important match for both nations as they prepare to take on Australia and China
respectively on the 2nd of September 2011, in the Asian Zone World Cup Qualifiers.
Screen-grab of the livestreaming of the matchAs what Thailand's German coach Winfried Schaefer said
before the game "Result doesn't matter" and so both his team and Singapore fought to a goal-less
encounter in front a near empty gigantic Rajamangala Stadium.
Singapore coach Raddy Avramovic surprised many by naming just recovered Fahrudin Mustafic in the
starting eleven for this Bangkok friendly.
The fate of both Hariss Harun and Safuwan Baharudin (pictured below) to join the national team for
the upcoming World Cup group stages qualifiers is still hung in a balance, despite having their
names on the 24-men squad list released by the Football Association of Singapore this evening.
Would Sufawan having the last laugh?
One of the daftest derbies around. I always thought calling Melbourne Croatia v Sydney Croatia or
Melita Eagles v Sunshine GC derbies was nuts; the tenuous link is not geographical but
ancestral.
In Singapore, every bloody game is a derby unless it's something like Tampines Rovers travelling to
Woodlands.

SINGAPORE, 5th July 2011: Singapore National Team coach, Radojko Avramovic has selected a
list of 25 players for the upcoming FIFA World Cup Brazil Qualifying Round Two matches against
Malaysia to be played on 23rd July and 28th July 2011.

Muse PR of The Red Card Group, the co-organizers of the 23rd Canon Lion City Cup)
The much anticipated official music video of the 23rd Canon Lion City Cup was officially
launched.
In a joint collaboration between Canon and Soul Theory Studios with local renowned hip hop artiste
Sheikh Haikel, this one minute clip also featured local football luminaries such as Fandi Ahmad,
Malek Awab, Aide Iskandar, S Subramani and Lionel Lewis.
Having saw what he tweeted in the first place, I prompted Mr Neo Chee Seong (who contributed an
article last month) to come up with his list of players to fill up the vacuum after the disband of
the Singapore National Team.
Many thanks to Mr Neo for sharing his views on this issue.
Potential Players with Merits to be selected for Singapore National Squad.
