Its a new beginning for X-S as 2005 shut its doors and 2006 brought us in. Todae, we clinched victory over Monfort team. (i think thats what they call themselves) X-S has come a long way( 2 years?) and achieved many great things.(i think.) As can be deduced from Vice-Captain, Farrell Terry in his match report, some players from Monfort were disappointing, sporting-wise. However, some X-S players also have to curb their temper. They should follow their Captain, Mamad Fabregas, who had the intention of beating a Monfort player (name undisclosed, in case X-S fans beat him up, but his jersey says SEOW) as soon as he saw his face. Despite that uncontrollable desire to do so, he restrained himself and didnt get into any trouble.
X-S players have therefore agreed not to argue unnecessarily with a bunch of punks who "think they can play soccer" as quoted from a yellow-shorts-wearing source. We go into the New Year with our heads held high following the victory and will enjoy a hearty team dinner at Seoul Garden tomorrow. Players' wives and girlfriends are joining the team for the dinner, thus the entire outlet shall be closed. The Seoul Garden outlet has yet to be chosen and its location is undisclosed as X-S fans may harrass the team. As the team parts briefly for SCHOOL, NS and even work, they have each other in their hearts and like the brothers they are, will regroup again to do what they do best. (What is it that we do best?)
Here's to 2006. A year where some may have homework and A levels, and the rest undergoing National Service and collecting their results, come what may (hopefully, only the best) and the team shall stick together through thick and thin, rain or shine to handle life's challenges.

X-S FC 7 -5 Montfort
Lacking inspiration and creativity, the players had to grit their teeth and grind out a 7-5 over minnows montfort which put up a strong fight to avoid getting thrashed. Ups and downs throughout the match brought out the fighting spirit of the players which was lacking sorely over the past few matches. It was yet again a heated game with quarrels and tackles flying in from all directions from montfort players which seemed more interested in rugby.
Before the game, manager wee "retainee" meng gave some tactical instructions and rallied the players. Montfort opened their account with a controversial goal. The ball apparently crossed the touch-line, however, montfort player-cum-referess waved play on allowing a cross from a dickhead player which caught nizar and farrell out of position which was easily converted by some cock-faced player. 1-0 montfort. Is this to be yet another defeat?
A flurry of goals followed next. yongliang managed a brace, with both goals coming from pin-point corners delivered by kim. Allowing the shortest player to get both crosses speaks of the brilliant montfort defence.
A free-kick from deep then ended in an own goal by nizar. The ball was headed back and upwards which appeared to clear the bar until an unknown force pushed it back down into goal. Nizar was not to be demoralised and subsequently produced the finest of performances which had manager wee gleaming.
In the 2nd half, montfort did managed to fight back from a terrible own goal by farrell. A cross from the left was met by farrell who dived and headed the ball into the top corner. Wonderful finish! It was a dangerous ball which eluded the keeper and swerved into the 6 yard area which was DEFINITELY dangerous. So, we cant blame him. HAHA.
Goals then flowed like water and i cant remember what went on. Boonhan scored a screamer from 50yards which would definitely be a contender for goal of the season. Fights and arguments soon followed. yongliang was deemed to have handelled the ball in his own box by yellow-shorts-guy who played referee for tt very moment. He awarded the penalty to montfort and stepped up to shoot the kick right at the keeper. Someone said he plays for a club?
The biggest boo-boo of the match came when a some pussy montfort player passed the ball to yellow-shorts-wussy. As soon as he saw farrell, wee meng and boon leng bearing down on him, he walked away from the pass to the sounds of boos and whistles from the supporters. Club player?
All i know next is alot of goals, 2 from thaqif and 1 from maplek nuri. Holding on to their slender lead, x-s battled on getting stuck into tackles in the middle of the park. In the dying moments, farrell and some-skinny-guy raced to a ball which was a golden scoring opportunity for montfort to get some goals. With a slight nudge, skinny-guy falls flat to the floor. "U have to be stronger than that to play football" says farrell, when asked after the match by reporters whether he had to resort to dirty-play. The final whistle brought a sigh of relief for the x-s players as they halted their losing streak and will now go into the NS break on a high.
Goalscorers: Yongliango Carlos (2), Fabreyaz, Boohano, Thierry Nuri, Thaqivo (2), Nizar Mansiz(og), Farrell Terry (og)
Man of the match: Nizar. After the horrendous mistake, morale was low. He dragged the team up and lifted morale with fine defensive work. Winning pracitcally every header, repelling every everything thrown at him and with 2 excellent last minute crunching tackles denied some cock-player and SEOW from scoring. Raddy, are u watching?
Moan of the match: Awful refereeing decision by yellow-shorts CLUB player. Television replays showed it was ball-to-hand. It seems refeering and playing striker gave him a bad view of the incident. This would surely by a strong case to FIFA supporting the use of technology to aid in refereeing decisions.
Insider verdict: Matches are most of the time marred by quarrels and fights which just speaks of the desire and will to win of x-s players. With some luck and the tacitical acumen of manager wee, x-s might get a winning streak akin to that of Liverpool currently. Ever onward andersonians! (zhonghua-rian and xinmin-ian included). Ganbate! kekex

alright. now for serious business. this club is in CRISIS. out of the games we played. only 1 win. against a 9 men indo team..and we conceded a hell lot of goals. DEFENCE WAKE UP!!! how is this possible? many reasons. lack of discipline..no organization..lack of commitment..intra-team relationships. ATROCIOUS! wake up guys. one more lost against lowly montfort tmr and we can disband. its our last game before our summer (NS) break. its time to show wat we're made of. we were once the greatest team tt ever came out from anderson. now..we're wimps. HAHA. tak kelakar lah. even talents such as kim and boonhan integrated into the team cant lift us up. tmr its time to stand up and be counted. lets play like men and show montfort whos the real men! i forsee a great run of games coming up for us. maybe we'll win 10 games straight like liverpool? HAHA. we're having a slow start like them but we'll steamroll ahead soon. 9 hours to kick-off. stay-tuned.

Match against Outram Sec was incomplete due to an over-enthusiatic X-S FC fan who invaded the pitch at halftime. He evacuated soon enough but came back on the field 10 mins into the 2nd half, demanding that the X-S players leave the field. He was apparently concerned for the team's safety due to the rainy conditions. Thus, the match was abandoned as both teams trudged off the field unwillingly. However, it has been re-scheduled for this Tuesday, 27th December 2005.
Time and place to be assured.

X-S FC has returned to winning ways and are slowly finding their feet as their run of matches stretch. Although the defence is leaky as they are playing with 3rd choice goalkeeper, Ramesh Rajaram, they notched a victory in the last match over THE Indon team.
In their first match after A levels, CF X-S were overpowered by Fake Madrid FC by 4 goals to none. This dampened their mood but in their next match against Gremlins FC, their dominance was not translated to goals as they slumped to a 4-1 defeat. Both matches were played at St Wilfrid and this underlined their unfamiliarity to the pitch, as the entire team had never played there before the match against FMFC. It also has to be noted that X-S led 1-0 at halftime against the Gremlins, who camped in their half in the 2nd half and scored 4 goals thru defensive lapses.
However, X-S have got only themselves to blame. Own goals and miscommunication peppered with the exuberance of Captain Yaz led to the goals. Furthermore, the team has to shoot more often and not take too long on the ball and keep their cool. However, its true that the arrival of the jerseys brought about their first win. Or could it be the presence of the girl?
Coincidence or fact? We'll find out as they square off against Outram Sec team this Friday at Tanglin Field 1 at 3pm.
