Full-Time Report
Veni. Vedi. Vici. We came, we saw and well we conquered...OFF the pitch ! Wondering why fir isn't blogging about the full time match ? He's probably pissed and ****ing fuming at Elton & Co. Football club...Bah-gers... We'll come to that later..I have provided a conversation after this report...VIEW AT YOUR OWN PLEASURE ! A bit drama lah but real...
Starting Line-Up: Wee Yang (GK/Capt) Wen Xiong(RB) Izzat(CB) Azhar(CB) Darius (LB)
Firdaus (RM) Nallu (CM) Terence (LM) Lucien (FL) Haris (FC) Adrian (FR)
Substitute: Von (CB)
Referee: Muhader Mahmud (SINGAPORingzz)
Bah-gers came late for the match and pre-match concerns were that striker Adrian was still suffering from the ankle injury he incurred during the match with the rolling-sub FC...Salman is still serving his national stint overseas and Jay was supposed to come down to spectate today's match but was not available...
Elton & Co. FC in thier dark blue lotto kit kickstarted the match, and were soon in control of the game. MPFC, donning our un-familiar white, took some time to adjust to the unusual 4-3-3 formation..Both teams got equal chances and the game got off to a physical start in the opening 15mins when the opponent's S.SUBRAMANI (dinesh) came in with a studs up late challenge on left back Darius and had the audacity to push him and utter profanities...come on lah SUBRAMANI...I am sure you are capable of better ! these were his words...
S.SUBRAMANI : Come ah ! one-on-one ah ! outside after the match !
and Darius as cool as ever just walked off and let Mr Muhader pull him away...All the possession by Elton & Co. FC were created by their individual talent Farhan (Mr.F)...And in the 26th minute he unleashed a 20 metre drive that just slipped Nallu's toes as he went sliding for the legs (actually ball) but to no avail..the ball lobbed over Wee Yang and 1-0 to Elton & Co. FC...
Well most of the match was dominated my the opposition with the balls going through Mr.F as he gave through balls and unleashed his runs and the destroyer Izzat and the one and only Franz Beckenbaur Azhar who was marshalling the defence..Azhar intercepted 90% of the VJC....sorry Mr.F's balls and runs and handed them a nice dribble or two from one half into another...
MPFC had some chances as the midfielders Terrence, Nallu and Firdaus battled to provide the strikers with the ball but as solid as the opponents were in their back 4 as they headed the balls away we had a glorious opportunity in the 38th minute as striker Adrian sent a thunderbolt onto the crossbar...its ok man..it shook them up a bit..2 free-kicks were awarded to MPFC, Nallu and Azhar both missing their targets…
Well towards the closing minutes of the half, one of Mr. F's balls found Elton who went for the ball and challenged for it with Wee Yang...It was an open challenge with Wee Yang getting the better of his opponent and the ball but Elton was seriously injured and rolling in pain...Ankle injury..Damn bad lah...Anyway get well soon man..oh and your boh-gee nice...ingzz...
Half-Time team talk and it was time for the latecomers to treat the team to their individual 1.5l bottles of mineral water..Anyway that wasn't the most impt thing that happened...It was time for a shuffle in the line-up as we had to battle our way to get something out of this match...
Azhar was drafted in by Captain Wee Yang as a centre midfielder to neutralise the threat form Mr.F and his midfielders (he would later on to give them hell)..Nallu to play centre back and Von in for Wen Xiong...and the strikers, Adrian,Haris and Lucien to charge open and play Gung-Ho...
The match progressed well for MPFC and as controversy marrs all matches early appeals for fouls were ignored by the referee and as such this made the MPFC players more hungry to grab the equaliser...Nallu and Von marshalled the defence and kept the opponents' strikers at bay with their offside trap tactic which worked wonders...
Terrence and Fir worked their ass out in the wingzzzz and Darius was busy pumping up the balls from his full back position..then came the horrific challlenge from the opponent defender on striker Haris who almost dislocated his shoulder due to the challenge..the fella flew ! And without a moment of hesitation the referee blew the whistle for full-time...I mean penalty...and up came Darius from his left back postion to take the penalty...He stepped up and much to the relief of the opponents the ball was drived to the far right of the goalpost...
MPFC has this issue with penalties...nvmd..with Wee Yang shouting for all our heads to be up we battled on for that elusive goal....The oppenents scared MPFC with their daring runs at the defence again instructed by Mr.F but the defence held their line and intercepted all the balls and covered the opponents' angle not giving them space to move...That's the spirit !
Then S.SUBRAMANI went down on the right flank but centre back Nallu gave him a taste of his own medicine as he gave a sliding tackle, won the ball and destroted his opponent...sorry Izzat..for one moment...He was soon carried off the pitch by his team mates and laid to rest (R.I.P)...A nice dribble again from Mr.Franz Beckenbaur resulted in the opponent midfielder gazing at his feet as the ball progressed towrds the goal with the defence soon intercepting it...
Peep ! Peep ! Peep ! But the match wasn't over yet...You wanna know why? This is why...(this intro very drama la but its just for the effect)...Both the teams were told to pay up their $40 and as usual MPFC got the dough ready...we paid the referee $30 and off he went with Azhar in a cab, as a happy man...Then Lucien and Ardian left...Thats when shit happened...
Wee Yang approaches Mr.F for the $40 that they were supposed to pay...
Mr.F : We only have $27.50 man...we don't have anymore money...
Wee Yang : What is this sia ? you all so rich say got no more money (Fir later on found out that S.SUBRAMANI had a few 5 dollar bills and a 10 dollar bill in his wallet) Then I pay for the field isit ?
Mr.F : Sorry ah! The next time we play (sorry no more) we will give more money la (yeah right !) ..sorry...we thought the ref was $15 lah
Then the whole team starts shouting at Wee Yang...Bah-gers...Wee Yang argues it out with them like a man and out comes 50cents and a dollar at intervals of 1 minute each (a BIT slow ah)...please la you guys were supposed to have NO MONEY !
Wee Yang comes back to the MPFC bench and has a quarrel with Fir..they both go on to ask the opponents nicely to pay up...They come up with lame excuses and then this guy looks at Fir and says...
Mr.X : Eh dun talk like Mat ah !
Fir: SHADDUP LAH !
Nice one lah ! That Bah-ger didn't open his mouth after that ! Then Mr .F steps up and tells Wee Yang..
Mr.F : Come on lah its just another $9.50 (after the 50 cents and 1 dollar come out)..don't create a scene here (who gave a reason for this scene to start ?)..give me your house address and I will come to your house and pass you the money..really ! (yeah right!)
Wee Yang : Come on lah !
Naruto (opponent goalkeeper): (looks at Wee Yang with some kinda face and hands out a ten dollar note) INNAH ! TAKE LAH !
Wee Yang : Why are you making it look like we are at fault ?...
Nallu then takes $1.70 from Wee Yang's hand and hands Naruto the change..Naruto then goes on to throw the change on the field...
Then all of a sudden Fir and Mr.F exchange harsh words and had to be pulled off from one another...A opponent team player came over to the MPFC bench to apologise to us..Very gracious indeed...Then comes THE KILLER JOKE...
Naruto : You want how many thousand ? 5 thousand you want ? I give you ah ! tell me your bank account ? ( eh I just wanted to buy a Naruto doll from Japan..gimme the 5K can?)
Well as you may have already known, MPFC is allergic to BULLSHIT and we didn't really care about him...I mean IT..cos humans dun behave like that..
We changed and left on the next bus after IT FC boarded the first bus…So much for Misers ! and we learned one thing today…never trust IT..(insert Japanese techno music)
-Nallu-
(Fir and Wee Yang are still pissed at IT FC)
