[Memory Lane] SG footballers of the past

[The_Bear]

Missed out one more guy!

 

Michael Vana

 

He was convicted or just charged b4 he ran away? They had an article on how he got away from Singapore, by boat to JB. I think Mas Selamat took it as a guide.

 

Then there was this One Armed guy from Sweden?or some Scandinavian country. Played for Tg Pagar i think.

 

Some Brazilian garbage who came just becoz they were brazilian.

 

Whats the name of the guy who score goals for fun at Geylang? Angmo guy from Eastern Europe or smthing...

[The_Bear]

Nobody remembers Michael Tan??

 

doesn't ring a bell....which local team he played for??

[The_Bear]

the myanmar winger?

yah

remember him

 

played for one or two seasons for us

then no more...due to not renew contract (too little money?)

 

HEADLESS CHICKEN

 

[Relagsingh]

Thanks for the attack on me.....I believe I did not address my post to u...

 

yes u are right. but can be to anyone hear. i happen to be the only one or the 1st to reply.

[Freestylers09]

Why Abbas was charged ah?

 

if someone want him to win and pay as reward,consider kelong?

 

Russia was told to whacked England and will be rewarded handsomely if they won but they dont want the $ as it's their duty to do so..iirc that guy is Roman issit?

 

and so why Abbas was charged? Reward to win is kelong also?

 

Btw there's a Brazilian who scored in his first match in Sleague and returned to Brazil's Gremio to replace Ronaldihno when he was transferred to PSG

 

1 of the biggest name till now

[XLR8]

There is also Abdullah Noor the "supersub".

In such cases, its difficult to prove the player received $$$ to Lose. Teams lose even if they really want to win.

 

But as long as can prove the player received $$$ outside the legal channel, then the corruption charges can stand.

 

No smoke without fire. Many similar cases around the world. Recently one in Italy 4-5 seasons ago.

Soap! Soap! Soap!

[Freestylers09]

Not too sure about it but the whole region's football is corrupted. Why has the S-league not improved the slightest bit? Why no progression for our National Team?

 

I was not referring to the Juve case. It was I think Genoa regarding relegation to Serie B.

[Freestylers09]

oh team rigged with another team..this is true corruption liaoz

 

why no improve?

 

take a look at England as classic example. Thier FA is worried in BPL for FT usage and have to set a limit to the teams..to save England future football

 

How do we improve more? is FT really improve the game???

 

i not sure

Our current national squad has many foreign turn local players......

 

On top of that, some of our local top players are playing at Indonesia?? Not one, not two...But a few...

 

Our local league really that cmi [confused]

 

Heard that, this year....Quite many will also join them at Indonesia???

 

[Cootie-Monster]

Not sure how many of you attended this game

 

1993 M-Cup Quarter Final against Pahang...

 

I was sitting behind the Pahang goal and when the third goal was scored....in the dying min.....the whole stadium erupted into roar...

Coach Sivaji dropped this knee and kissed the ground when the final whistle was blown...IIRC...many VIP turned up from halftime...including the PM and a few cabinet ministers....

 

those were the days......

 

 

 

IMO that was the best game SG played. They had to win but Pahang took the lead not once but twice. Both teams were evenly match and Pahang could very well have sneaked a winner. Luckily it was the Lions who finally got the winning goal,through a sublime piece of trickery by Sundram, setting up Fandi to slam the ball in.

 

The fans watching went through the ultimate rollercoaster. Even Fandi also buay tahan and broke into tears.

 

Sometimes I wonder if the greater mortals had missed the forest for the tree. No doubt the Malaysia Cup was a small fry competition but the atmosphere and national bonding it created cannot be bought by money. I just loved watching SG stick it to the MY states and I think the Malaysians all wanted a piece of us too. All the NDP combined since independence can't replicate even 5 minutes of M-Cup excitement.

 

I remember there was one night even the MRT driver got carried away and went toot-toot toot-toot-toot as his train pulled into Kallang.

Borhan past away already ,1 of the best left sided player

 

u never mentioned the 2 cds that Lions produced,i think i still have it...1 of the song is rapped names of the players

 

 

yes i rem the players names rap

 

jang jung was 1 of the names

 

 

 

also rem 1 of the song has a chorus that goes like this:

 

Come on everybody, feel the power

You can feel the steam, its the Dream Team"

 

can rip the cd? would be a classic to hear it now again

 

 

[Kensk]

I think we need to be realistic. For the national team to be successful, we need to have our own league that can regularly produce competitive footballers. Malaysia Cup was just not cutting it enough. In fact, I think it's a good thing we left the competition... we have overstayed our welcome after winning the Malaysia Cup in our last year. One could tell that the Malaysians were not happy with our participation and domination. To me, it was a matter of time we had to leave Malaysia Cup - either with us being booted out or us opting out of it.

 

Don't get me wrong, I also loved the Malaysia Cup of old, climbing up the national stadium to support the team... I even remembered taking off my shirt and celebrating when we scored. But for the national team to progress, the only way is to have our own league.

 

The S League is still relatively young, more time is needed, as well as more financial and government support. I guess only with the government throwing its full weight behind it can the S League succeed. Firstly, they must make football a viable "career" for everyone. This way, the Chinese families can be persuaded to let their sons pursue the sport with passion. This is one big step to unearthing more footballers. It must start from the grassroots upwards.

 

No one can tell the future and who can say what Malaysia Cup would grow into if we had stay in it. It might spurned into a mini-Champion League kind of competition in this region? If there are fans interests, there is no saying what any compeition might grow into. Just look at the European Cup and Uefa Cup. They have grown from strength to strength.

 

To me the S League is a total failure. It is not "relatively young" anymore...think more than 10 years. Local interests are only from those punters, and now they need foreign teams to help sustain interests from the large group of foreigners here. The failure to reach GOAL 2010 target sums it all up.

 

Somehow I feel the administrators here tend to "destroy" something whenever they gets too "big".

Our local league really that cmi [confused]

 

Heard that, this year....Quite many will also join them at Indonesia???

 

 

Maybe they go there for better money and they can improve further as a player.

[Kman08]

But how many of u guys actually support the S league. How to grow if there is no support. So funny willing to spend so much money to buy overseas club football jersy but no money to support local soccer.
