Denied by the Man with the Whistle

Above are pictures of the aftermath of the heavy downpour which happened during the match this evening.

It was DPMM FC's home game in a while and the last match was a disaster when we lost at home to Pahang. But a good away result recently which saw the Korean score two goals should have been enough to pull a crowd eventhough it is an 'AF' night for most families.

Everyone would have predicted a win for DPMM FC when hosting bottom half team - Telekom Melaka. But that was not the case. Telekom Melaka started brightly and had most of the possessions earlier on. The away side seemed to have used the same formation as DPMM FC, packing the midfield with 5 players and it looked really crowded!

Just before the half hour mark, signs of rain were present with the strong winds and slowly small droplets were felt on the supporters faces. Then it rained. I wish I had good cover and took some pictures. However the rain was pouring down so hard.

DPMM FC scored right before half time and top scorer in the Super League - Shahrazen added another goal to his already impressive tally to 16 with the leading goal. A few minutes earlier I had actually celebrated a 'goal', which I thought was a goal when Jung had a good strike at the ball only to see it go wide. I was shouting 'Goal!!' *LoL* It was the rain!

Went down for cover in the interval. Most of the people did, except for the ones under the roof. There was this one guy which made the crowd cheer louder, he was in a yellow, goldish coloured shirt. I don't really know what made the crowd cheer him on but I was told he gave the Melaka players the 'X' [Suck it version of De-Generation X from the WWE].

In the second half the referee was inconsistant and blatantly gave away unnecessary freekicks in dangerous areas to Telekom Melaka. But fortunately the defence was solid and very lucky.

A few unnecessary yellow cards were flashed by the Referee to DPMM FC players. Most of the fouls went Telekom Melaka's way and the Linesman on the attacking half to DPMM FC was also biased. There was an obvious challenge on Shahrazen in the box when he was shoved down by the defender and the Linesman did not even give a foul. It was a definite foul!

Jung had to be susbtituted with fifteen minutes left. It seemed like he had picked up an injury when he was also shoved down in the penalty area and no penalty was given. There was a chance for substitute Fadlin Gelawat to score for DPMM FC but he could not keep his header down. Tobar had a wonderful chance to score the winning goal but blasted his shot wide.

It was apparent the Referee for tonight's match was one sided and it really annoys me when this happens. I was so pissed I could not stop swearing (at the top of my lungs) at the Referee and the Telekom Melaka players. I felt good and I think if I do not stop talking I will lose my voice. ;)

But the ball is round! You win some, You lose some, You draw some! It was a good performance by DPMM and they were denied the win by the $#*^!^ @$$ Referee!! I know where you stay!! Just kidding!

Next match for DPMM FC will be June 2nd, an away match to Negeri Sembilan. The night of my Berbedak ceremony. Good Luck DPMM FC! I will also miss the home game on 6th June when DPMM FC will host Sarawak as my future wife and myself will be away. Yipee!!

Greetings Earthlings,

I have not been typing down anything much and just simply updating my blog via my trusty K800i. But it seem like today would be a good day to get something down and piss people off.

So the current EPL leader, Man Utd were dumped out from the most pretigious european competition early this morning away from home at San Siro, home of the italian giants, AC Milan. No doubt Milan were the better team. They played tremendously well and the Milan fans were amazing. But I would reckon a riot would occur should Man Utd have clinched that all important goal to seal their ticket to Athens. But Kaka and Co. opened the Red Devils defence as easy as opening a can of tuna.

So the finals on May 23rd will witness Milan against Libapul. Will Libapul beat Milan again as they did two years ago? Well I reckon Libapul would want to win it because they have nothing else to win this season. It seems as if they are only good at playing in Europe and very inconsistent at playing in the League. I bet many Libapulians would agree with me.

So why is that Libapul fans taunt the Man Utd fans here in Brunei? The early morning result broke many Man Utd supporters hearts. We even congratulated Libapul fans for going to the final in hope to meet them in Athens. But lady luck was not on our side so we bowed out of the competition.

I received so many messages and calls by Libapul fans. All making fun of the 3-0 bashing at San Siro.

What do you think was my reaction? Did I get angry? Did I bark back at them?

Instead I laughed and told them my 'other' team will meet their team in Athens. Their replies, 'Boring! Kalah kalahan! Mana bule main dua team!' I just kept on laughing.

My workmates know I support Milan as well because I collect their jerseys too like my friend Mr Alex. *smiles* So I am not really bothered. Besides we still have the EPL and the FA Cup to look forward to. Libapul is no where near second place Chelsea in the league and still they brag about being in the finals. Where are you in the league again?

Milan nearly were not allowed to play in the Champions League after that scandals in Serie A
were made public. They have proved their worth so far. They deserve to be in the finals.

Football is a game that a team can either win, lose or draw. But in a cup competition there must always be a winner. I am not going to make the penalty win as a lucky win because their goalie's brilliance kept their dreams alive.

Many Libapulian fans also said, "Cuba lagi lain kali!" I should ask them, When was the last time Libapul won the EPL? Rather harsh but why provoke in the first place?

I put on a smile and laugh. I accept the defeat and some of my friends were really surprised by my calmness. Its only football lads. There are far worse things happening in the world to sulk about your favourite team being knocked out of the EPL. Besides I am getting married soon so I have other things to worry about.

Win, Lose Or Draw I am Man Utd supporter through and through. Eventhough I have never been to Manchester, lived or studied there but I support them anyways. And Milan! And Barca! And DPMM FC! And many other teams! [Jangan Jealous] *LoL*

Why don't we support our local team? DPMM FC! How many of you follow their progress? They won their away game last night in Melaka. An exhilirating match which saw the new Korean striker from Home Utd score twice to give DPMM FC the valuable three points. So far it has been an impressive season for DPMM FC. Dee Pee Emm Emm Epp Shee!!!

P.S: This post has been intented to state a piece of mind and not provoke libapul fans. If terasa, My Bad! But then again I had stated my intentions earlier anyways.

If you have multiply and you are a Libapul fan, make your way [here]
