Indonesia Super League
Persib v Persema 4-0 (Gonzales 3, Moriera)
Yesterday afternoon Persija conceded the title with a gutless display that showed lack of fight, conviction and desire. Persema, 2 down at the time, showed more of those three qualities in first half injury time than Persija did all game. Click to continue reading...

Jakarta Derby Postponed

Jakarta Casual 05 March @ 09:50 PM EDT
Sunday's derby between Persitara and Persija has been called. The game had been switched to Bung Karno Stadium, nominally Persija's home ground, because Persitara's Soemantri Brojonegoro was considered too small.
But with no security clearance released for Bung Karno the game would have had to go ahead without spectators meaning Persitara would have had to stump up the costs of hiring the more expensive stadium and they were obviously reluctant to do so. Click to continue reading...

The Jakarta Derby

Jakarta Casual 02 March @ 01:21 AM EDT
Ok so I have no crystal ball, I have no inside knowledge and probably no one has really thought about it yet. But. This weekend has the Jakarta Derby, Persitara v Persija, scheduled for Soemantri Brojonegoro Stadium.
Now just a wild stab in the dark here but the game won't be played there. Click to continue reading...

Redshaw confirms signing

Jakarta Casual 13 February @ 07:57 AM EDT
Mark Redshaw has finally signed for Persitara in the Indonesia Super League following lengthy negotiations. His old man who used to play for Wigan Athletic, wondered if he played in the Freight Rover Trophy Final against Brentford, is not much older than me which is worrying. Equally worrying is meeting a Brentford fan recently who said he was too young to remember that final. Click to continue reading...

Persitara eye new coach

Jakarta Casual 01 February @ 09:05 PM EDT
Second from bottom if the Indonesia Super League, Persitara are in the market for a new coach. Dutch Dick Buitelaar (spelling) hasn't been seen for a while with assistant coaches taking the reins.
Despite the club being short of money there are no shortage of applicants with Bambang Nurdiansyah, Suimin Diharja, Rohanda and Rudy Keltjes among the names being linked plus perhaps one or two others in the pipeline. Click to continue reading...

Persitara v Persik 1-0

Jakarta Casual 31 January @ 07:50 AM EDT
There was a guy walking round dressed as a three metre kitchen knife and that, dear reader, was about the only highlight of the game that was settled by Tantan's first half free kick.
I was told not to go but ever the optimist I disregarded that advise. I could have stayed in the pub. I don't. Click to continue reading...

Going down

Jakarta Casual 21 January @ 12:17 AM EDT
We're nearly at the half way point in the Indonesia Super League so as good a time as any to see which clubs have squaky bums at the moment. Three are guaranteed to be relegated while one other will have to go into a play off with a side from the Premier League.
15 - PSPS 14 4 4 6 13-17 16 LLWDL

Persija v Persitara

Jakarta Casual 19 January @ 07:19 AM EDT
Tomorrow's capital city derby between Persija and Persitara will be played out at the Bung Karno Stadium tomorrow in front of an empty stadium with the local police banning any supporters from watching the game, fearing crowd trouble even though Persitara fans have said they won't travel.
The Jakmania though have promised their heroes they won't be alone and are calling on all Persija to line the route the players will take from their base to the stadium and give them a bloody good cheer. Click to continue reading...

Big game to be fan less

Jakarta Casual 01 January @ 11:05 PM EDT
Persib Bandung will play Persija Jakarta next Saturday, 9 January, at the Jalak Harupat Stadium in front of an empty stadium. Officials are woried about the potential for trouble when these two teams meet with a deep hatred polarising the two sets of supporters.
The notion of all ticket matches has yet to catch on here. Click to continue reading...

Persik's Christmas Carol

Jakarta Casual 20 December @ 12:48 AM EDT
Clean sheets aren't something you would normally associate with Persik Kediri who have made a name for themselves as a carefree attacking side where defenders were ususally reluctant at best and wholly out of position ar worse.
But not anymore it seems. As we enter the festive season, and as Indonesians discover Ebeneezer Scrooge for the first time, the two time champions have developed a defensive stability that you would more associate with George Graham era Arsenal sides. Click to continue reading...

ISL weekend

Jakarta Casual 19 December @ 02:30 AM EDT
I had hoped to flit down to Malang this weekend but with the ISL making Arema v Persib play in front of an empty stadium I knocked it on the head.
It is undoubtedly the pick of the weekend's fixtures and Persib will travel east feeling they stand a chance with Arema losing last time against Persela, Noh Alam Shah being suspended and of course no Aremania kicking up a racket. Click to continue reading...

Lonely weekend for East Java powerhouses

Jakarta Casual 26 November @ 05:19 AM EDT
Arema and Persebaya are two of the biggest teams in the country with a support to match and both have started the season positively.
Ordinarily a trip to Jakarta would see them folowed by several thousand fans but not this weekend.
Saturday sees Arema take on Persitara at the Soemantri Brojonegoro Stadium knowing that officials are limiting their following to a miserly 100. Click to continue reading...

Another name change for Pelita Jaya, from West Java to Karawang, and still no luck as they travelled to Palembang to take on the Copa Indonesia winners.
Former Persiter and Persitara striker Rivai gave the home side the lead before Fonseca scored his second of the season. Click to continue reading...

Persebaya v Persipura
Fascinating match up this one seeing former Persebaya legend Jacksen F Tiago bring his Champions Persipura to Surabaya. Tiago of course has won the title with both Persebaya and Persipura.
Persebaya have been giving their fans and coaching staff kittens this season as they have been scoring and conceding with gay abandon. Click to continue reading...

Thais feature prominently in West Java derby

Jakarta Casual 19 November @ 08:42 PM EDT
Persib Bandung's first home game of the season tomorrow night sees them up against Pelita Jaya at the Jalak Harupat Stadium in Soreang.
Persib have lost both their games so far this season and they will welcome Sinthaweechai 'Kosin' Hathairatnakul back on a loan spell while fellow Thai international Suchao Nuchnam will also get his first run out. Click to continue reading...

Persitara v Persebaya 1-2

Jakarta Casual 11 November @ 07:29 AM EDT
Two home games, two home defeats, four goals conceded at home.
It's been a sorry start to the season for Persitara in their (latest) new home of Soemantri Brojonegoro Stadium. The heavens opened as the fans left the stadium and heaven might be an approriate place to start looking for inspiration as this current vintage seems to lack much of it on the field.

The Bonek are coming!

Jakarta Casual 11 November @ 12:07 AM EDT
Lock up your daughters, board your windows residents of Jakarta, Indonesia's most infamous football fans the Bonek of Persebaya are about to hit the capital city for this afternoon's game with Persitara at the Soemanti Brojonegoro Stadium in Central Jakarta.
Hundreds of security personnel will be on duty at the stadium as officials hope the first high risk game goes off peacefully. Click to continue reading...

Tarkpor makes speedy return

Jakarta Casual 10 November @ 08:32 PM EDT
John Tarkpor will possibly line up for his new club, Persebaya, against his old club, Persitara, after a long winded, drawn out pre season transfer that had both sides fighting over his registration.
Persebaya won and on his debut, alongside fellow new signings Claude Ngon A Djam and Takotoshi Uchida they got thumped 4-1 by fellow newly promoted side PSPS Pekanbaru. Click to continue reading...

Benson now an Aceh boy

Jakarta Casual 28 October @ 05:26 AM EDT
Last season he played his part at the heart of an exciting Persitara side. But now Essiah Pello Benson (far right) will be parading his talents in much more humble surroundings. Reports have him signing for IPL side Persiraja in Aceh, at the northern most end of Sumatra. Click to continue reading...

ISL fixtures

Jakarta Casual 21 October @ 11:36 PM EDT
There are, to paraphrase some numpty, few certainties in life. Death of course is one. Stupid people with loud shirts on airplanes another and not forgetting boring soap operas.
But here in Indonesia we have another, uniquelly Indonesia certainty. Changes to the fixture list.
I've not detailed the ones that have happened so far, Persija and Persitara have had games rearranged, but now I will. Click to continue reading...

Persitara reject Aussie

Jakarta Casual 07 October @ 06:47 PM EDT
Persitara have decided not to sign Australian Joel Wood after seeing him perform in a friendly against Persikabo. They felt that while he was talented he lacked the toughness requied to perform at the highest level in Indonesia.
Persitara won 1-0 with a goal from Prince Kabir Bello who has signed on for another season. Click to continue reading...

It's an Indonesian thing

Jakarta Casual 01 October @ 07:34 AM EDT
The Community Shield kicks off the new Indonesian Super League next Wednesday and I had hoped to catch the game between champions Persipura and Copa winners Sriwijaya at the Bung Karno Stadium here in Jakarta.
However I hadn't been holding my breath. Games are announced then postponed at the drop of a hat in these parts and I had special reason to doubt the season's opener would be taking place in the capital city. Click to continue reading...

Persitara eye up Aussie

Jakarta Casual 29 September @ 07:20 PM EDT
Now it's Persitara who have their eyes on an Australian striker. They are currently looking at Troy Hearfield who is an attacking midfield player cum striker and aged 22.
The North Jakarta club have already said they have added former striker Prince Kabir Bello, Canadian Ladislas Kikunda Bashiri and Paraguayan Ernesto Brunhoso. Click to continue reading...

Average attendances

Jakarta Casual 28 September @ 07:53 AM EDT
If I recall correctly the average attendance in the Indonesian League back in 2007 was about 11,000. For the season just completed it was always going to be a lot less given that clubs like PSMS, Persitara, Persija and Persija couldn't use their own stadiums for what ever reason.
In addition clubs like Arema, Deltras and PSIS had less than impressive campaigns. Click to continue reading...

Singapore to Indonesia Rumours

Jakarta Casual 16 September @ 07:36 PM EDT
Hassan Sunny – Persisam
Alex Duric – Sriwijaya (to be fair if I put my boots on they might be interested in me as well!)
Indra – PSM
Daniel Bennett – Persebaya (but his agent(!) is quoted as saying he would prefer Jakarta)
Agu Casmir – Persipura (but his agent says he has extended his contract with Gombak United)
Shi Jiayi – Persija did ask me about him but there is talk someone else might be interested. Click to continue reading...

Let Daniel entertain you

Jakarta Casual 14 September @ 06:28 AM EDT
Indonesia's football media is geared towards Java. That's understandable in a way. It's where the vast majority of the population live, it's where the media is based. But what it means is that good news on other islands tends to be overlooked. Actually good news every where gets overlooked.
But in football terms we rarely get to see the Papuan sides, Persipura and Persiwa live when they play at home. Click to continue reading...

You have been warned

Jakarta Casual 01 September @ 09:07 PM EDT
Three clubs have been told by the Indonesian Super League to improve their stadiums or they risk being thrown out of the league.
New boys PSPS Pekanbaru, Pelita Jaya and Persitara have been given a list of tasks that need to be completed before they can use their appointed grounds. Persitara have elected to use Lebak Bulus this season while the eternal nomads Pelita Jaya make it three grounds in three years when they move to Karawang. Click to continue reading...

Sriwijaya increase attacking options

Jakarta Casual 17 August @ 07:09 PM EDT
Copa winners Sriwijaya have added former Persikota and Persitara striker Mostafa Aji to their squad. Since losing Claude Ngon A Djam and Budi Sudarsono they have been looking lightweight up front but now the promising Aji has joined Keith Kayamba Gumbs and fellow former Persitara forward Rachmat Rivai.

Persebaya announce new coach

Jakarta Casual 06 August @ 05:53 AM EDT
Newly promoted Persebaya have finally ended their search for a new coach. After seeing old boy Jacksen Tiago turn them down they have appointed former Persija and PKT coach Danurwindo for the new season.
He will helm a squad that has seen Anderson Silva and Claude Ngon Djam already added and hopes are high John Tarkpor and Wijay will soon be added. Click to continue reading...

One investor, two clubs

Jakarta Casual 04 August @ 11:47 PM EDT
Edy Joernadi has been busy recently. He was announced as the man whose funds will release Persija Jakarta from going cap in hand to the local government every time they need to pay wages. Finally, thinks me, someone looking at the business opportunites in Indonesian football.
Then comes the news he has also bought Persikad Depok, a team in the second tier Premier League with little in the way of footballing tradition. Click to continue reading...
