FMFC 5 - 1 APSSB

If you've never been to a sideshow circus, the match between FMFC and APSSB is the closest thing you can get to one. Starring a poorly-trained referee, what was supposed to be an entertaining football match turned into a series of bad calls and laughable decisions by the referee, a performance that would make ex-FIFA referee Graham Pall proud.

FMFC converted a set piece to take the lead early in the first half. Elfi headed in Lan's corner, to open the flood gates for the rest of the goals. The second goal came not too long after. Kiki, holding on to the ball despite being surrounded by three players, unleashed Raymond with an exquisite pass, making a statement to fans and teammates that Alam should no be missed. The pass put Raymond through on goal and finished calmly placing the ball pass the keeper.

APSSB managed to nick one back, scoring after their striker went one-on-one with Sham. Our captain, Bul, managed to notch one for himself, finishing at close range after the opposition failed to clear the corner from Zam. Raymond and Elfi got a goal each before the half time, signalling the end of the football match and the start of the circus.

There were no goals and for those of you who watched the match, you would be forgiven if you have forgotten all the highlights of the second half. FMFC had many chances on goal, but the referee, with his new corrupted brand of FIFA football rules, blew for offside countless of times. Any football fan, would know that when the ball is passed behind, like in rugby, it doesnt matter if the attackers are in an offside position. The referee, however, probably failed to read up during referee school. Haikal and Zul was cautioned for verbally giving their opinions of the numerous false calls the referee made.

Despite the poor show from the referee, the game ended with FMFC winning 5 - 1. Keeping pace with the leaders, the team would have to guard against complacency to keep their place at the summit.

FMFC 2 - 1 Rock: Madridas spirit

A second half brace was enough to secure an FMFC win in a highly-anticipated match against Rock.

FMFC found themselves against a resilient team, playing to their strengths in speed. The commentator had put it perfectly when he said that Rock was playing without a midfield. Their constant long balls behind the strikers were a constant threat to FMFC. Time and time again the strikers found themselves running into space and clear for goal. If not for yet another exemplary performance by Elfi, FMFC would have been in trouble.

Rock took the lead in the dying minute of the first half, after a defensive error from a freekick lead to a free header in the 6-yard box. Despite numerous chances to go ahead in the first half, FMFC found themselves going in at half-time without the lead.

Player-manager-captain Bul made a change for the second half, substituting Raymond for Zul. The move proved to be an inspired one, with Zul latching on to an exquisite cross-field pass from Alam, sending the keeper the other way before calmly sloting in the equalizer.

Rock had numerous chances to go ahead, but FMFC's defence, lead by Elfi's man-of-the-match performance, held firm. In what was to be the last kick of the game, a swinging corner from Alam found a rising Elfi, who headed the winner. A hard earned win that puts FMFC on equal points with the league leaders, a game in hand.

Pre-Match Interview with Captain Saifudeen
Mike Shinoda
FMFC Internal Correspondent

Mike : So Saifudeen, how do you feel about your team's chances coming into this highly anticipated match?

Capt : Well, this will be another top-end clash that we will be heading into with much confidence. Besides scoring one of the least, we conceded the least too. So it will be a battle of the high scoring machine of Rock and the mean defence of FMFC.

Mike: Well said. I believe this match will ultimately bring either one of you ahead of what seems a very tight top 5. As you can see, all the top 4 teams are locked with 9 points coming into this game, with both Rock and FMFC having a game in hand. Will your team break away from the chasing pack?

Capt: With the depth that we have today, I don't see any problems ahead of this match. If we play to our strengths and contain their play, we should see through.

Mike: Full of confidence there from FMFC Captain Saifudeen. We will bring you the match LIVE from SAFRA Tampines, kickoff at 15oohrs. See you there!

"Familiar Foes Meet Again"
Richard Anthony
The Seteraits Times


Singapore - High-flying Rock meets Fake Madrid FC in this week's Sunday Special kick-off. The afternoon game will be expecting a sell out crowd as the only 2 unbeaten team in the Safra league lock horns for the second time in 2 months. Last month, a friendly between them saw FMFC winning 2-1 in a highly charged game. Rock, in 2nd place will be going into this game with a superior goal advantage of 18 compared to 7 of the 3rd placed FMFC. This fact however will not affect FMFC too much as they will be with a complete squad, something that the fans have been waiting for since the season started. Both teams, with a game in hand are now level on points with Luchas-Locs and Darts SC and hence will need this victory to pull away from the chasing pack. It is obvious that the victor tomorrow will earn the tag, "team to beat", in the league.

"Courts reject appeals by former Viva FC executives"
Richard Anthony
The Seteraits Time

Singapore - The newly launched "very strict" SAFRA League is once again under the microscope due to the recent controversy involving one of the teams in the league, Viva FC. The FA rejected appeals by former Viva FC executives to let them stay in the league and as such, SAFRA league will now be operating as a 9 team competition instead of 10. Viva FC has been relegated to the unknown and the expulsion will take place immediately according to Coerver and SAFRA. This decision is taken after Viva FC failed to conform to the strict SAFRA league requirements.

All matches against Viva FC will be cancelled and taken as null and void. The only team to be affected by this ruling will be FMFC and the walkover game against Viva FC will not be counted. Other than that, the league will still go on as per normal...we hope.

FMFC 1 - 0 PTMC
Maleek Jabeer
FMFC Correspondent

It was a lacklustre performance, one which got the captain raving mad at half-time. But as they say, championships are won when teams are able to grind out results like these. The first half was dull to say the least, with both teams consistently cancelling each other out. PTMC played with Imran, an undefeated world Silat champion, as a one-man strike force. Haikal and Elfi found him a handful as Imran managed to test Sham with a few shots on goal. The FMFC players looked disillusioned and everyone seemed to be on heavy legs. The match was goalless at half time.

Bul was blunt towards the team at half-time, telling them that it was just not good enough. Changes were made. Kiki and Alam, released temporarily from his National Service was introduced and ten minutes into the second half, Alam reminded everyone how important a player he is to FMFC.

Receiving the ball from Azhar, Alam looked up for a second and gave a defence splitting pass to release Zul on the right wing. Using his pace, Zul got to the ball first with all the time and space to put in a superb cross for Lan, get this people, to head the ball home. The team's celebrations echoed more of relief than joy, but nevertheless, FMFC took the lead. The manager must have been happy with Lan, who was told that his heading needed improvement. What better way to show that he could head with his goal.

Midway through the second half saw the debut of new signing of the No. 15, Muhadher. Thrown to action as the left forward, Muhadher showed glimpses of his brilliance. Managing to dribble past three defenders, Muhadher put himself straight through on goal but, showing a tinge of rustiness, managed only to shoot into the safety of the opposition keeper's arms. The fans are excited to see what a fully-fit Muhadher can do for FMFC on the pitch.

FMFC could have gone one goal up with Elfi bursting through the middle. He had a clear shot on goal. Everyone thought it was going in after a juggernaut of a shot but the opposition keeper made what could be save of the season at point blank range. The match simmered but rarely got into the electric pace of past matches involving FMFC.

Final Score:
FMFC 1 - 0 PTMC



complacency seeps in.

marred by the recent ego-boosting one-nil victory over Luchaz-Loccos FC, there was absolutely no doubt complacency took over the game in yesterday's one-nil victory over PTMC. FMFC began the match full of confidence, perhaps over-confident, that their natural attacking football went haywire. Even an inspirational speech by Captain Marvel during the interval, couldn't get things going. With the introduction of Aslam Yusoff right after the break, a measured delicate pass from him to Zulkifli, crossing to Asyik with inch perfection. The latter then produced a sublime header to finish off the creative play. From then till the final whistle, neither the rantings nor the encouragements could get the team to play beautiful football. Will it be a case of attacking football lacking the killer touch?

it could well prove to be costly.
