Since I started this here blog just over six years ago I've seen almost 200 games across the
region. I've been to a lot more but for some reason I never quite get to the stadium.
Persipura hosted East Bengal last year in the AFC Cup at Bung Karno so I headed off nice and early
to catch the game.
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.
"It just got off from a shaky footing when there are many in
reality is trying so hard to look good..."
Clementi Stadium in rainJust less than a week from the kickoff of the 2012 S.League season, the
league authority dropped another shocker that totally caught everyone in the fraternity off guard
when it was announced defending champions Tampines Rovers will be relocated to Clementi Stadium,
while its previous tenants Tanjong Pagar United will be "heading home" to Queenstown Stadium.
It is being reported from Singapore that two teams in the SLeague are going to move to different
stadiums for the new season that begins this weekend. Champions Tampines Rovers are going to play
their home games at Clementi Stadium while Tanjong Pagar will use Queenstown for the upcoming
campaign.

- SGFootball Friendly @ Padang - SCC 0-4 Hougang Utd (8/1/12))
The Cheetahs played their first match since resumed training three weeks ago and on the most
expensive green on the island - The Padang against NFL side SCC.
In a new bid to attract more interest it seems the SLeague have come up with a novel way of
releasing the fixture list for the new season. Taking a leaf from the harry Potter movies they are
announcing them bit by bit. The logic, such as it is, is that if it's good enough for JK Rawlings'
teen magicians it's gotta be good enough for the SLeague.
It's been another exciting season in the SLeague with the title race not being decided until the
last game of the season. The penultimate game between Home United and Tampines Rovers saw the Stags
win 1-0; they went into their last game knowing three points would be enough. They won 5-0 to
secure their first title in six years.
Ahmad Latif's goal just after the hour mark means that the SLeague won't be decided until Sunday
when both Home United and Tampines Rovers play their final game of the season.
You could say it's advantage Tampines as they have a narrow one point lead going into Crunch Sunday
(hey, ESPN do it all the time) but Home United have the superior goal difference.
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.
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.
Two games played last night, two away wins in the SLeague. Wins for both Home United and Tampines
Rovers means the title won't be decided until after the SEA Games when the two collide.
Tampines needed Ahmad Fahmie's 89' winner to get three points at Gombak United while two second
half goals in 10 minutes brought Home the points and keeps them clear.
Malaysia Cup Final
Terengganu v Negeri Sembilan 1-2 (Ashaari Samsuddin; S Kunalan, Hairuddin Omar)
The Negeri's second win in three years, they also reached last year's final but were beaten by
Kelantan. Malaysian football done and dusted until January when we can expect to see foreign
players line up for the first time in three years.

SINGAPORE,
27 October 2011: Tampines Rover Prime League side overcame a resolute Singapore Recreation Club
8-7 on penalties to win their third Singapore Pools FA Cup.
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.
Long overshadowed by its more glamorous counterparts (i.e.: the S.League and the Singapore Cup),
the FA Cup is the third major tournament organized by the Football Association of Singapore (FAS)
since 1995.
From 1999 onwards, the tournament had become a chance for a silverware for the NFL clubs after a
decision was made that S.
With just about five games remaining in the SLeague it appears Home United are in pole position
with a five point cushion over second played Tampines Rovers who have played a game less.
Last year's champions Etoile are out of the race, 10 points behind the leaders but then they did
lose five points after getting involved in a brawl with Hougang United earlier in the season.

Mendy's goal against his former team ensured at least one of this year's Singapore Cup Final would
be a local team, Home winning 2-1 on aggregate.

- S.League Match- Balestier Khalsa 0-1 Tampines Rovers (6/8/11)
Ahmad Latiff (pictured above in yellow jersey) delivered the sucker punch at the last kick of the
game to help Tampines Rovers beat Balestier Khalsa 1-0 at Toa Payoh Stadium.
While the Tigers had a Mark McGough's goal disallowed which they claimed the Aussie's effort had
crossed the goal line before Lions defender Fahrudin Mustafic cleared for safety in the first half.

Wasn't able to attend any of the Singapore Cup matches over the few days until today due to work
commitments and ultimately saw the lack of update of the blog until this.
As the result of the concluding matches played over the past few days saw the emerging of the
"FINAL FOUR" for one of the holy grails in Singapore football.
I have been overlooking the bread and butter over the last week; time now for an SLeague
update!

As I was filing my match report for the earlier 3rd-4th placing match between Home United and
Tampines Rovers that I wasn't paying much attention during the League Cup final match between
Hougang United and Albirex Niigata (Singapore).
But what I did realize was Canadian winger Jordan Webb was the man of the night for the wrong
reason when he came so close to end the trophy drought of the under-achievers in the dying moments
of the second half of the extra time, before agonizingly saw his spot-kick saved by White Swans'
keeper Yoshito Matsushita that gifted the Japanese their first ever title since joining S.
Not for the first time in recent years the SLeague is proving to be one of the more exciting
leagues in the region.
We're just about at the half way point and we have the usual three horse race, champions Etoile
have slipped down the ladder having four or five games in hand, and look how tight things are at
the top.
Hougang United fans pride themselves on their ability to bring English style chanting to the
Singapore game. Well, last night at Toa Payoh Stadium they missed out on a goody. Days after the
Football Association had slapped a number of fines and suspensions on the club for their role in
the recent brawl with players from Etoile the small band pf away fans should have been raising the
roof with vitriol aimed at the FA for the perceived injustice meted out the other day.

Undoubtedly, the most successful coach in Tampines Rovers Football Club since the inception of the
S.League in 1996 - Vorawan Chitavanich had stepped down as the club's Technical Director and
decided to head home to Thailand.
The timing of his departure could not have come to a rather bumpy timing when the Stags are facing
sticky patches of late after ACL injuries to star players such as 'keeper Hassan Sunny and defender
Park Yo Seb that effectively rule them out of the rest of the campaign.
SLeague new boys Tanjong Pagar United have only scored six goals in their opening 14 games and one
of them came in their only win so far, away to Woodlands Wellington. Doesn't look too good, does
it?

Sriwijaya finally made it through to the least 16 of the AFC Cup but they did it the hard way,
keeping their fans on tenterhooks right to the death against TSW Pegasus.
Leading 2-1 with about 24 minutes to go Sriwijaya were through. All they had to do was see out the
last few minutes. But things are never that easy in Indonesian football.
AFC Champions League
Jeonbuk v Arema 6-0

Well I can't see any Indonesian teams being allowed to compete in the ACL in the future. It just
isn't a priority for them and long flights overseas aren't exciting when you spend half the season
on planes anyway.
As I said a few days back the SLeague is already shaping into another classic season and I am
really looking forward to my next visit there. Dunno when mind!
These are the results of recent days I have missed. There have been some changes to the schedule
and I don't have the latest one so am kind of in the dark on what's on the horizon!
Well, politically speaking it is a derby. Persiba travelled to Bontang and won 5-3 continuing their
recent goal scoring spree, 13 in three games. A derby geographically? Well, if you wanna call a 6
hour drive a local derby!
Persiba finished 3rd last season and hopes were high in the oil rich town that a serious shot at
the title was on the cards.
