is it just me or does anyone out there feel that he's too rigid? he lacks agility imo but commands great presence (due to his large nature) in midfield
S-League... anyone?

But most importantly, we lack a leader..Indra Sahdan Daud, to me, isn't a suitable leader..I miss Aide Iskandar`s leadership.

Oh yes..Captain Terry..;P wasn't he well-known for his skillful throw ins?

skillful aside- it's sheer power in the throw. imagine always getting the ball into the penalty box via throw in...
I thought we have Sun Jiayi as a... Playmaker? Although I don't think he's really good, at least he was involved with the release of adiPure.
Ever wonder how do Singapore footballers get to go to Addidas campaigns and endorse their products? I'm still puzzled.
Is the S-League really one of the best 10 leagues in Asia or is it just that Asian leagues suck big time and Singapore can make it within the lousy context?
I think we need a national hero like Fandi Ahmad... Someone who can bring back local football to the local. Maybe S-league can try integrating with M-Cup!

We do have a S-League following here.When S-League first started out, Geylang Utd do have 2 World class Iranian footballers and a higly regarded coach-Hamid Reza Estili,Mohamad Khakpour and Jalel Talebi.
Season after seaon,to get really quality signings have proven to be very difficult-salary caps,sponsorship and the latest kelong nonsense.
I was involved in an S-League club once,although more as a bench warmer but most of the time on the youth feeder squad(also as a bench warmer)
We do have quality footballers, I have seen this first hand but what makes S-League different from other league around the region is support..face it, we don't have enough people to fill up the stadiums..Logistic wise also got some issues..
Its correct that if S'pore were to stay in M-League, we would have a lot of funfare and things to look forward to come weekend-the Kallang roar,etc etc BUT our football would remained stagnant.
S'pore national team would not get to this stage of the World cup Qualifying round if there is no S-League.Every player knows he have a fighting chance to be capped and put on the national jersey if the player is consistent week in and week out.
Prior to S-League,during the M-League days, to get into the national team, the very least that a scout knows how good are you were during Milo School..and they would see your development durring your Milo stint..and the normal A div and B div soccer teams of which it is always Boys Town VI, Jin Tai Sec, St Patrick Sec would be champions
Now, the scouting system for youths are much better structured and organised.for example S Subramani, I have played with him during our teenage days at basket-ball courts around Woodlands and Marsiling area..he was spotted during his JC days and you know the rest....

it's a good thing that SAF FC won today (beat Tampines 2-1) otherwise the top team in this Singaporean league would be a Korean team... shame.
