The Lions, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Posted on January 22, 2011 at 7:05 PM

Local football fans woke up to the shocking news on January 6 when the Singapore Football Association made an unprecedented move by sacking the entire National Football Team. Recent bad performance and ill-discipline and a need to revamp the team were some of the reasons mentioned.

 

Well, as everyone is trying to make sense of the drama being played, I cannot help but have my own go at it.

 

The Lions

 

Honestly I have not foll...

Footbrawl

Posted on November 27, 2010 at 6:55 PM

In the recent month or so, the local papers have been covering quite a fair bit about youth street gang violence. Many have been left shocked and aghast at the level of senseless violence on the streets.

Maybe, they do not have the spare change to buy the rights for it after the World Cup debacle. I really would like to know though.


Singtel has been trumpeting thei...

Confession of a Liverpool Fan

By Ian Morris

 

There are many things I do not understand. Like how the galaxy works, what happened to the dinosaurs and why do some claim apes are our distant relative, though some of mine look the part. I have added one more to that list in the aftermath of Liverpool’s defeat against Chelsea last Sunday. I tried very hard to understand but it seems that my finite mind just simply failed to ge...

BLOG: First and Nothing Less

By Ian Morris

 

I was going through last weekend’s Agape Cup updates on VOXSPORTS.NET, our media partner. I could not help but being irked when I read the headlines. “HP displays championship form with victory over Team GAL”, it read. “HP displayed their championship credentials with a fluid 3-1 win over Team GAL. With their unique 3-3-4 formation, they once again managed to lock out the opposing team’s players and their s...
