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
