Game 33

REPORTED BY Ken Wong
Full Time: ODS 3 - 2 Bishan Wanderers (Half time: 0 - 2)
Scorers: Cheen Ming (x02), Kiran (x01)
Man Of Match:  Kiran

Starting Line-Up
GK: Tony
Def[L-R]:
Mid[L-R]:
Striker:

Responding to the demands/requests for match reports, the reporter has gotten back to work.
But as the reporter was late, there will be no highlights of the first half, except that Tony conceded a very comical goal, almost similar to the one Robert Green conceded during the World Cup, or so I heard.
Perhaps Tony has been playing too much golf, and thinking too much of the "Green" and thus, got the "Green" butter fingers.

0-2 at half time

2nd Half Line-Up
GK: Tony
Def[L-R]: Chee Mun, Fred, Kiran, Seah Kiam Meng
Mid[L-R]: Osman, We Keat, Mark Teo, Cheen Ming
Strike: Melvin Tan, Liang Han

 The restart of the game saw more urgency in ODS with Melvin, Cheen Ming and Osman throwing themselves in what ever challenge they can.
ODS managed to pull one back when a Cheen Ming managed to get ahead of his marker and convert a cross by Osman.

1-2

Mr Sng made changes to the team, bringing on Ken Wong for the tired Liang Han and Mark Penu for We Keat.
Ken Wong got himself involved almost immediately. He hassled the opponents and kept the pressure going.
During one occasion, he chased a back pass by the opponent to the keeper. The keeper, under pressure from Ken Wong, scuffled his clearance and the ball fell to Osman. But his shot was just over the crossbar.

Kiran should have equalized earlier. But his header, a cross by Melvin from the right, was inches over the crossbar.

Next, Ken Wong orchestrated the equalizer. He delivered a beautiful pin-point cross for Cheen Ming. Cheen Ming receiving the beautiful cross, brought it nearer to the penalty area and sent the ball across goal.
Kiran went racing in and scored at the far post.

2-2

Ken Wong sparked the winner, winning a header and directing it to Kiran. Kiran upon receiving the ball, nodded it into Cheen Ming's path. Cheen Ming used his speed, squeezing in between 2 defenders and slot the ball under the keeper.

3-2

Tempers start to flare. The referee had no choice but to flash 2 red cards to the opponent, 2 second yellow cards for wild and rash challenges, with the elbow showing and clearly no intention of going for the ball.
Ironically, Vincent was at the end of both challenges.

Ken Wong almost extend the lead when his shot from 25yards out was barely tip over by the keeper.

The game ended soon, but not before some drama, from our best leading actor Osman, who never fail to fool the referee with his dives. This time round, he appeared as if he was having a game of tug-of-war or rather, wrestling with number13 from the opponents. He held on to his arm, as if hugging it, in an attempt to stop a counter attack by the opponents. The referee spotted the foul, and blew the whistle. When Osman finally let go, number13 chose to retaliate by pushing Osman in the chest. But Osman went down covering his face, the same way you would if Mike Tyson threw a punch in your face.
The referee gave a disgusted look and gave the full time whistle. (I don't know the disgusted look was for the play-acting or for the violent conduct of the number13.)

Full Time Score: ODS 3 - 2 Bishan Wanderers
What a comeback for game 33.

Biased report, absolutely typical Rupert Murdoch/Ted Turner one-sided satire!Rubbish and not a single tinge of honesty within the deceit and webs of scornful lies!!!

It was ME who assisted the second goal too(other than the first)!ask Kiran.....

No 13 shoved me and in the process his agricultural nails speared thru my eyes thus causing temporary blurred vision....which was miraculously ok after final whistle was blown by 'revenge of the N.E.R.D.' referee....

Now I was not at the match and so I stand on a neutral point of view. I think that the committee should look into penalising players who try to deceive and verbally abuse referees.

I love this team too much for it to be degraded to a bunch of players who like to play-act, dive in the penalty box hoping to get a penalty and getting sent off for telling the referee to tuck in his shirt. Such players' misdemeanour should not be tolerated as it brings a foul name to this otherwise illustrious team and reflects badly on the founding members who had pain-stakingly shouldered the team to this high pedestal.

Just my five cents worth.

I only want to put on record that I was deprived of at least a goal a match 4 times consecutively. Sigh. Revenge of the NERDS main actor did not blow when cross was made which I perhaps can be judged offside, but not after the goalie punch the ball and after I volleyed the ball into goal what crap! VO
