Announcement of the Captain And Vice Captain

We formally introduce to you the 2 main man who have been chosen to lead out YSOSRS FC for the coming months.

Captain: Hizam aka YSOSRS FC's Version of Nemanja Vidic (Top-most picture)

Strong in the air and quick to cover on the ground. Has provided a whole lot of stability to the backline and can be credited with how much the individuals at the back have gradually been made into a cohesive unit. Excellent player and will be a major focal point as YSOSRS attempts to go for gold in our maiden season.

Vice Captain: Jufri aka YSOSRS FC's Version of Wayne Rooney (2nd Picture)

The sharp shooter of the team. His record speaks for himself. 9 goals in 7 games. Top class commitment and considering he was a complete stranger to most of the guys when the team was formed, his meteoric rise in terms of popularity amongst his team-mates is further proof of his influence in the dressing room. Smashing player and his goals will be needed to propel the team to the top.

Cheers guys and help assist both hizam and jufri in their duties. We are all leaders in our own right, but these 2 are at the moment, the stand out leaders. Lets keep this run going people.

D2D Sat 3pm League Weekly Round-Up

OPOD News Center - Champions Mavericks FC's woes continued over the weekend as they lost yet another 2 points, this time against bottom of the table Star CF. The 1-1 draw sees them remain joint bottom with Star and AJPL, and already 9 points off the pace of the leaderboard just 4 games into the season.

Swee Swee 1 FC romped to a 6-1 victory over Tour D'France who continue to leave onlookers puzzled with their inconsistent display week in week out. Zespol FC moved out of the bottom 3 with a 2-1 win against Schwarz Star FC. SSFC remains in the top half of the table but have now played many more games than the rest and is in danger of being sucked into the relegation battle.

In Division 2, YSOSRS extended their unbeaten streak to 4 games as they battled to a 2-1 victory over Sons of Selarang. SOS remains bottom of the league with 5 consecutive defeats to date and looks dead certain to be relegated to Div 3 should their form continue.

Elsewhere, Hooyah FC beat Thunderveluboomqiesi 4-2 to climb above Kamago'z to 4th spot on the table.

League Match 5

Details: League match

Opponents: Coca Cola SSC

Timing: 1430 hrs

Venue: Ahmad Ibrahim Secondary School (Link: http://www.espzen.com/pitches.asp?pitch=59)

Jersey: Blue top, black shorts, black socks. (Stick to them please)

Hey guys, the month of june will be a testing one for us if we are to show what we are made of. We have proved that we are a force to be reckoned with, as we have remained unbeatened in all 4 games. Teams will start to come in hard on us from now on. The fixtures for the entire month of june have been released and we are supposed to play Coke, Team Goat, Serangoon Utd and Team orange in consecutive weeks.

However, we will be taking a break next sat, 12th June as a large majority of the team will not be able to make it (Team Goat match). In my overview of the league, 3 out of the 4 teams that we are supposed to play with in the month of June are likely to be frontrunners for the league. It's now or never for us to try and pull ahead of the rest boys.

Check out the right hand side of the blog for the full fixtures and venues of our matches in June. Cheers people! Keep staying positive!

YSOSRS FC 2 SOS 1
(Jufri x1, Law x1)

It is hard for a team manager to rejoice when we know that an important player for the team is down and possibly will be out for a while with a suspected knee injury. Optimism is the only possible way to go with at this point of a time. For those who have no idea, Jasmond was hacked down and he twisted his knee in an awkward way during our hard fought game. It is not nice for me to see a fellow team mate crumble in agony and it is even worse when it is reminiscent of my own injury in the past. Hopefully it goes well for u dude. I will specially dedicate this victory to you! It's not as if u are dead or anything, it's just not nice knowing the possible extent of the injury. Until the injury is confirm, we will remain optimistic that u will still have a part to play for this season.

Back to the details of the game:

I was pleasantly stunned to see that Sons of Selarang had indeed called for SOS and actually roped in a fair majority of guys from renowned A division powerhouses, Meridian Junior College. To be honest, we had expected a fairly straight forward game but with the appearance of most of mahdi's college team in our opponents ranks, a tough game was expected.

1st Goal: Yaya Syafiqo who had been heavily involved in the midfield battle for large parts of the half sprang forward and 10 out of 10 for effort by law as his sliding tackle recovered a lost ball and he soon released our towering central midfielder with a perfect slide rule pass into the box. Syafiqo subsequently pulled the ball back and there waiting was our top scorer, Jufri to slot home a good move. The boys in blue were 1-0 up against our technically very strong opponents.

And so it finished 1-0 at half time with our tails on the up.

The 2nd half resumed and was largely played out in the middle of the park as the battle for control in the middle of the pitch continued. It has to be said that we had several excellent chances that fell in particular to our speed demon, Wong who had a forgettable day in front of goal. Despite that, we were comfortable and seemingly in control. An unfortunate sequence of events however led to SOS scoring an equalising goal that left the team deflated. Morale sank even lower when jasmond succumbed to the injury. We knew that we had to dig deep as we have done in our 1st 3 games and once again attempt to snatch a goal from somewhere.

And it duly came, 5 minutes from time.

2nd Goal: A long punt by Phileo that was meant for the towering frame of Dinie somehow bounced over both the magician and his marker. The onrushing law who had made an excellent run from the left, anticipated contact with the keeper who was rushing off his line, but still bravely nodded the ball over the keeper and into the back of the net. Excellent stuff. And right at the death again! Knowing the quality of our adversaries, the goal and then the win felt even sweeter than our initial few hard fought victories. And so it finished 2-1. Why-so-SERIOUS!

My Man Of the Match: Law. He was involved in most of the major parts of the game and what was not mentioned was the memorable lung bursting run from our own penalty box and into the opponents box with the opposition keeper chasing back to no avail. Characteristic of the man and definitely worthy of the award today.

Comments:

1) I applaud the whole team. Everyone who came played a major part. The knocks and all that we took were for the team. Thanks man peeps!

2) I am actually more mentally exhausted than physically because of the emotional rollercoaster that we faced today. Even though we had to dig deep once again, have faith that some team will be on the end of a rollicking from us soon. The form and class that we have been showing in our friendly games will be reflected on our league result soon.

3) Special mention to Jufri for not only his goal, but his self-lessness to play in midfield when needed despite carrying an ankle injury for large parts of the game.

4) Once again, we won and got another 3 points. But do know that we have to rally together and help each other out especially when the going gets tough. Whatever mistakes we make on the field are just part and parcel of the game. There is no need to get depressed over it. What matters is that we got through a titanic battle and emerged triumphant. Well done guys. Rest well for next week.

Match Preview For Matchday 6

Over in the Northern regions of Singapore, Ahmad Ibrahim Estadio will be the venue as Hooyah FC plays host to Thunderveluboomquiesi. With the former in 5th place, 2 points ahead of their visitors albeit having played a game more, this game would be a precursor to who eventually finishes higher in the middle of the division. Both teams are expected to jostle for places in mid table, however the momentum is probably with Hooyah FC as team spirits are high. TH have had a rollercoaster of a ride so far in the season and probably the biggest determinant as to who will emerge triumphant in this clash would be who TH actually fields in their team this saturday. Would it be the strong 1st 11 that brought them the NUS Ihg crown? Or a scrambled 11 to make up the numbers. Stay tune for results on this clash...

In our 2nd clash of the weekend for division 2, title contenders Coca Cola SSC will travel to the Eastern regions to visit Serangoon United FC at the impressive Greenie-view Estadio. Having been humiliated 2 matches ago by Kamago'z, the men in red answered their critics as TH faced a red tidal backlash. Having lost in 2 of the 3 games so far, Serangoon United will have to be at their very best if they are to expect anything from the game. However, a possible advantage for the home side would be the size of the field that they will be playing on. Wide and long, Serangoon will definitely have to use the massive amounts of space available to stretch the Coke team to the limit. Will the Coke team garner 3 massive points and leapfrog into pole position?

Finally, YSOSRS FC who have been quietly going about their business and collecting the points whilst the rest of the teams engage in their topsy turvy battles, will host bottom dwellers Sons Of Selarang at their irrepressible Queenstown Estadio. The lush green surface with it's perfect shades of green will be the stage whereby the title pretenders attempt to shed their tag and emerge as front runners for the division. The boys in blue thumped Marc FC in a friendly held on the same ground just 7 days ago, 7-0 and morale within the camp will be on a high heading into this clash. The gaffer for YSOSRS though has played down speculation that complacency could be a factor in this clash as he believes that the boys know what is at stake and that they will go out and show the division what they are made of. Will the title pretenders convert their games in hand into points or will SOS finally post their long awaited maiden victory in the league?

Here at MOKIE sportscentre, we will fill u in on all the latest scores and action as soon as we get them.

I don't believe that the league and friendly thing is proving to be a psychological barrior. Whatever the case, we will go out there this week on the very same pitch that we played on last week, and replicate exactly what we did. This time round, it would be a league game. Check out the results from last weekend, the top 2 are threatening to pull away from the rest of the field and although we do still have our games in hand, it is time to start converting them into points. Psyche yourselves up for a battle people. Woosh!

And since no one gave any ideas, i decided to go with 1 person shouting 'why so' and then everyone together 'serious!'. Hahaha. Seems abit lame but hey, thats our team name and thats what this team cheer is suppose to do, galvanise the team before the game whether through smiles or gritted teeth.

D2D Sat 3pm League Weekly Round-Up

OPOD News Center - AJPL held VNPNUS to a 0-0 draw over the weekend in spirited display. While they may have been slain by lesser teams on other occasions, AJPL are proving to be the bogey team in Div 1 having upset last season's champions Mavericks FC and now depriving the current leaders of 3 points.

Zespol FC finally found their first victory of the season, winning 4-2 against Star CF. Mavericks FC lost out 2-0 to Tour D'France while Schwarz Star FC won 3-0 over Swee Swee 1 FC maintain their 4 spot on the league table.

In Div 2, Coca-Cola Singapore Sports Club tore Thunderveluboomqiesi apart as they romped to a 6-1 victory and put to bed their disappointments of the last 2 weekends. They remain 2 points behind leaders Team Goat, who also won comfortably against Serangoon United, to lead the table with 12 points.

Team Orange and Kamago'z played out a 2-2 draw and while it's still early days, both teams will need to string some results together soon to have a shot at promotion.

YSOSRS in 7th heaven

Queenstown Sec, 1500 Hrs

YSOSRS FC 7 Marc FC 0

(Law x2, Wong x1, Dinie x1, Hg x1, Rudee x1, Juf x1)

It was an excellent weather to kick off yet another game of football on a saturday. A good sized squad of 18 turned up for what was initially suppose to be a league game against S.O.S but was changed to a friendly against Marc FC.

Events of the game were as follows:

Goal 1: Law executed a stunning scissors kick via a long throw from Rory Wong.

Goal 2: Rory Wong goes one better with a throw in that arrows over the keeper who had an unfortunate part to play in the goal as he narrowly brushed against it on its way in. 2-0 with only 15 mins gone.

Goal 3: Mahdi comes up with deft feint and a burst that takes him pass his marker and into the box from the left. A hard low ball into the 6 yard area was delivered and it was subsequently smashed in by our prolific goal machine, juf.

End of 1st Half

Goal 4: Dinie-tov scores what is a contender for the goal of the day with a quick turn and a shot from outside that box that nestles into the back of the net before the keeper could even react.

Goal 5: Rudee reacts quickest to a rebound in the box and sends it straight into the back of the net. (Sorry i couldnt remember the exact details before the goal!)

Goal 6: Rampaging full back Hg scores his 1st goal ever for the team with a deft diving-header flick off a freekick delivered by his best cock friend Ws. Fantastic finish dude!

Goal 7: Somewhat controversial goal as once again, Rory Wong delivers a trademark long throw that causes mayhem in the opposition box. Initial reports have credited law with the goal as it apprently flicked off his arm en-route to goal.

Some thoughts from me:

1) The opponents were not the best, but we showed that we can play the free flowing dominant football that we have in our arsenal as shown in our earlier friendly games. Well done guys. Attempt to replicate this performance when we play in our league games.

2) Football is a TEAM game. The best TEAM always wins. Look at our opponents today. Internal squabbles and etc. We are doing very well in terms of gelling with each other. Keep it going peeps.

3) The only qualm that i had about the performance today was that communication wise, we are still lacking. Keep talking to each other. If a team mate wonders out of position, remind him nicely and etc. There are only a couple of us that does that. It is not a difficult thing, and neither is it the role of only specific characters in the team i.e the captain.

4) Overall, decent run out and hope u guys enjoyed the session. Well done team. Keep your heads down and when the going gets tough, you will see our team spirit pulling us through.

5) 1 more thing. Think of something that we can shout when we do a team huddle before our games. Something like 'serious!' or whatever u want. We will make it a tradition from the next game onwards. Just post any ideas that u have in the chat box!

My man of the match:

It was a straight fight between Wong (not only for his crazily effective long throws but also his directness and skills whilst on the flanks) and Farhan. However, i will give Farhan the 'award' for his Dani alves-like runs and crunching tackles throughout his time on the field. Excellent versatility to play on both right and left back! Well done dude!

Kudos to dinie (for the 20-25min period where u were dictating every single attacking play. that is the magician that i know, at work), hizam for a performance that we are being accustomed to seeing every week (solid as usual) and most importantly, keeper of the day, Sian Wei for what was a smashing performance between the sticks. Commanding and good shot stopping contributed to the clean sheet. Cheers dude and look forward to our league game next sat.

Our Juve Boy

This week, we sit down with Syafiq. A midfield dynamo, Syafiq is a player hard to be labelled because he plays with great tenacity and grace at the same time- akin to a Guttuso and Kaka, or perhaps a Sissoko and Diego, combined. He floats like a butterfly yet works like a bee, displaying such elegance with the ball under his feet to deliver the potent torque for the team. He will surely be a force to be reckoned with as the season progresses. Wait for it!


Name: Syafiq Ab Rahman
Age: 21
Height: 183
Weight: 75kg
Position: Midfield
Preferred foot: Right




Hi, Syafiq. What have you been up to lately?

Been working at a warehouse as a coolie in Upper Paya Lebar. It’s a back breaking job but need the cash to sustain my weekend fix of footie.



What did you eat just now?

Oh, I had black pepper chicken with rice at Simei’s Banquet with Syazana after a hard day at the warehouse. Haha



Nice. Man of the match for 2 consecutive games! What do you have to say about it?

I am flattered to say the least. But I thought they are other deserving winners as well. Notable performances like jufri’s countless goals, law’s famous penetrative play (football, guys) and many others deserve a shout out. Having said that,I personally believe that I have to start providing the forwards with better supply. So that, they have the opportunities to score and shine. I’m trying, guys!



How do you describe your style of play?

I aim to disrupt our opponents’ play. I enjoy putting my legs and body in to block their passes or shots. Nicking the ball off their feet is pretty satisfying too! Also, using my height advantage to get to the headers. I am more confident playing short passes to my team mates. That’s why I am thankful that this team has quality and can complement my style of play well.



Are you excited about the prospect of working with Mahdi?

Yeah of course! Played with him at Temasek Sec, and he owned every single one of us at the futsal courts. Heard he went on to represent MJC soccer, so I believe we could use another promising attacker. I did my bit as the Transfer Guru to bring him in, so I hope he will go on to be an integral part of the team.



How about the other midfielders? Which centre-mid are you most comfortable playing with?

Everyone has their different qualities. Ws and Mok are excellent distributors of the ball, which is my downfall. And Lq is a great hustler in the middle of the park, covers my missed tackles.



We all know that you are/were a Juventus fan. How do you feel about Juve’s downhill spiral?

It is tragic. And hello, what with the “are/were”?!? I am still a fan despite their sad season. Remember i stuck by them throughout their highly unjustified drop to Serie B. But I am hopeful. They will bounce back, but the old players have to make way for the younger ones for that to happen. Forza La Vecchia Signora! And YSOSRS!

League game with sons of selarang has been postponed, probably cause of their lack of numbers for this weekend. Therefore, we will be having a friendly game against an unknown team. Venue remains the same: Queenstown Sec. Please meet exactly at 230 and this postponement of our league game should work to our advantage as we can get more games under our belt and use this opportunity to gel better. In order to sweeten the last min postponement, the organiser has told me that we will play our league game on the astro turf of queenstown again next saturday. Cheers ppl, hope u are having a fantastic week as i m having one crappy one. Cya sat.

I am not sure if the result for the coke game was wrongly reflected, but whatever the case, it puts us in a smashing position.

Check out the league table. We are doing ok guys. Have confidence in yourself and the team.

I also found this statement from Hooyah FC's facebook group.

-'after checking the results of the other div 2 matches. we are currently sitting in 4th position guys! but congratulations on our best game played so far this season. fight harder the week after next. HOOYAH!!!'

They felt that they played their best in a game that they lost, based on their performances so far, they have been decent. I believe that this reflects very well on us.

Personal 'Letter' to All Of the Boys In Blue

Guys, just wanted to come out and clarify any potential misunderstandings that players may have.

We may merely be a social team, however, what drives the group of us forward in each game is the desire to want to perform well in games. It would be unreasonable to suggest that all of this is merely just for fun. Some part of it is, however would you rather be on a winning team or a losing team? I will leave you to ponder that question.

We have a good strong committed squad of 20 odd players, of which 15-16 guys are guaranteed to appear each week. A feasible number to have for each week would be 16 guys. However, as we saw in our game yesterday, we had 18 men. Playing time may be at a premium on certain weeks as i personally take responsibility for trying to spread it amongst all who turn up for the game.

In certain situations, we may be pushing to get an equaliser or even a winning goal and there will be specific players who are more appropriate for such a push and thus i will go along with the idea of allowing him to play more minutes. I do seek your understanding for me doing so. A personal contribution of even a mere 10 minutes, is still a valuable contribution to the cause of the team. At the moment, we only have 1 game a week. 80 minutes of football.

To me, the cause of the team comes first. Do know that i will do my personal best in keeping everyone happy in terms of minutes. However drill the thought into your mind that patience is a must. You will get your shot at showing your contribution. Should anyone not be pleased with anything related to the team, feel free to contact me.

The team's performance is satisfactory at the moment, so lets all do our very best in making it even better. Cheers guys.

At the death. For the 3rd time in a row!

Eastspring Secondary School. 1500 hrs

YSOSRS FC 2 Hooyah FC 1

(Law x1, Mok x1)

Hopefully i can keep it short this time round. A roller-coaster of emotions as our league games have often proved. From being a goal up since the first half and firmly in control, a desperate sequence of unfortunate events led to an equalising goal from the samba boys (yellow mah). Although it must be said that the free-kick was quite something. According to Wong though, if the ball had been the 'rubber ball', he would have scored with his effort too. So, looks like the blame is on the mikasa ball now. Haha.

First half performance: We were all over the place at times, perhaps due to personnel in unfamiliar positions. Me included. Defence was excellent though. Held firm throughout the game. Kudos to that. Zhengliang was sensational as he covered ground down the left constantly. He due-ly converted with an unorthodox goal which he claims he meant. Not buying it... Nonetherless, 1-0 against a fit hooyah outfit.

Second half performance: Syafiq stood out for me with his dominance in midfield. Seriously, Yaya Toure bro.. We were comfortable for most of the half and had stand out chances for Ernie and then Wong who again went on his customary lung bursting runs from the half way line. The save from phileo just before he went off deserves special mention too. Pure class from an excellent shot. Well done man! However we obtained 2 yellow cards that were uncalled for on our part. WTF! (Guys... 13 yellows and we are deducted a point. 3 reds and its another point! Don't throw away points that we put in so much effort to earn man. Just so you know. We have 5 yellows in 3 games now.) Anyway, we had to push for a winner and it came in a very fortuitous manner. Hard luck for the keeper but i have to rejoice as it's my first league goal in 2 seasons!!! Why i can't score more, i dont know man!

Man of the Match for our team:

Ronald. I thought he was excellent throughout. Working in tandem with hizam who was feeling under the weather. Fantastic covering and dominance from the back throughout and i feel you deserve it for today. Kudos to the efforts of all. Well done.

Some thoughts:

1) The team starts too slowly. We have to be sure right from the start and i believe this will improve with time. However, let's starting working for each other, and trusting each other. Make a pass and move. I like our link up especially in the 2nd half. The passing was delightful at times but we must keep it a constant theme.

2) Hooyah have proved a totally different outfit from the team we beat 9-1 in our friendlies. They will improve, and i believe that we will as well. Let's keep working on our link up play and we will make it happen.

3) PLEASE make it an effort to talk to everyone as well. Don't leave them out of your conversations. 2 hours a week to speak to your teammate is not a tough ask.

4) 5 games played. 4 wins. 3 league games, 2 wins and a draw. Be proud of yourself. And i hope you are enjoying every minute of it for I thoroughly am. Well done guys. Rest well and feel good over this game. We will meet again next week. Do expect an astro turf pitch for our league game soon! Just got off the phone with the organiser. Haha.

5) One more thing. Please invite your friends or girlfriends or girlfriends-to-be to our games man! And it would be nice if you intro them to me cause at least i know their names for they are part of the team too! Erm, invite them to join our facebook group as well!

6) Thanks to Zufar and Fadilah for the photos!
