STILL TOO EARLY TO GAUGE ...

📝 "A sport long under the microscope in Singapore, a new phase could be beckoning for local football.

Against the backdrop of last year’s brave AFF Suzuki Cup campaign, with Singapore making it to the semi-final, an ambitious project called Unleash the Roar (UTR) is now underway." (CNA)

🤓 Very detailed and comprehensive article, but it's too early at this point to pass any judgement on those UTR! plans that I can see most of those being quoted are talking about the aspirations and positive side of it.

Maybe 2-3 years later down the road, an assessment on it would be appropriate.

GROUND HOPPING SOON

📍Some of the so-called "unused open fields" that can be utilized for football training, as claimed by some after I shared an #UnleashTheRoar article yesterday (9/3).

🧐 Will go and have a look when able to do so.

According to a feedback earlier, the field at Serangoon Ave 4 is actually at Ave 1, but will still go and have a look when able to do so

MAKING SOME GOOD PROGRESS

Good day to all,

I hope things are well for all 👍.

Just a small update on the repurposing process of the blog post on the late Borhan Abu Samah.

I am glad to have spoke to two of his closest friends who shared with me some of their best memories on the man nicknamed the "Russian Tank".

Those views shared more or less defined the angle of the repurposing blog post.

So do stay tuned for more updates on the progress.

Legends shall never die and their legacy must be preserved.

THE NEED TO PRESERVE

💭 These are my thoughts over the years after reading the old newspapers archives, books, etc. to gain a better understanding on history of Singapore Football.

🔁 It is an ongoing process that shall continue and not perish.

JAGS STAY UNBEATEN

🌧️ Tanjong Pagar United overcame a heavy Toa Payoh surface to see them came back strongly to give Balestier Khalsa their second straight defeat.

🗻 The unbeaten Jags stay at top of AIA Singapore Premier League standing after three outings.

#SGPL #sgfootball #SPL

Love the run the Jags are enjoying now, but are they able to sustain the form is the question everyone is asking ... This could be one of the fairy tales in recent years.

On the other hand, Balestier should kick themselves hard before it's too late, they shown their fightback spirit to turn the table over to snatch a 3-2 lead before HT but to see the lead evaporated in the second half is just unacceptable.

EASY EASY FOR THE SWANS

❓Looking how easy it was to prick open that frail backline that same old question on Young Lions will be asked after Albirex Niigata (S) walked away with another thumping victory.

FANDI OR ABBAS DID SOMETHING SIMILAR BEFORE LIKE MORITZ

🗳️ Majority felt the winning goal by Hougang United's André Moritz against Geylang International last Friday (11/3) is likely to be the "Goal of The Year" despite only three rounds of game played.

💭 But this feat reminds me how Singapore team would try something similar from the kickoff during the Malaysia Cup days .

🥅 I remember once it was either Abbas Saad or Fandi Ahmad flicked the ball into the air from kickoff and one of them would whack the ball to catch the opponents' 'keeper off guard.

❓ If I am not wrong, they succeed once in a home game but can't remember which team was it, anyone remember?

A RANDOM CONVERSATION ...

I was having my makan earlier and overheard a conversation over the disallowed Tampines' goal because of Yasir's positioning.

"If I have $10 million, I would implement the VAR!" said one of them.
