ok.. its the end of season
Monday, September 03, 2007,
as the title suggested, we didn't make it past the quarter final in our quest. sigh. it wasn't expected to end just like this. it was our game, we should have won that match. well? who could we blame? beside ourselves, we could still push the blames to the 2 rookie referees, whose name i shall disclosed once i get them! in a way, the poor refereeing cost us our match, like the previous match against PY.
right from the start, one look will tell that they suck at refereeing. the coach louise said that, pinky said that, even any spectator could tell that. (ok, i know i am being biased here, i don't really care). maybe, they had these tags hanging around their neck that says,"i am indecisive, easily swayed and i make wrong calls all the time!". here is an example that ocurred during the game,"we commited a slashing foul, and the referee decided to give a free hit, blew the whislte. upon hearing the whistle, everyone stopped the play. however, the opponent decided to play on with it, scoring the goal in the midst of the confusion. seeing that, the referee decided its an advantage being played. the thing is, if you want to play advantage, you don't blow the whistle." it is 2 different situations, i wonder how they passed their referee test? it makes people boils, loses focus during the game.. seriously.. i wished i could had their license revoked, they totally sucked at refereeing. jumping to their defence, some might say that perhaps they are new and inexperienced, we shouldn't blame them.
HEY! you should know that we viewed this match seriously. being rookies, you shouldn't had taken up the task of refereeing this match, thinking that its a easy $20 money. totally disappointed with the SFA and the organiser. we paid so much for the registration fee and yet we get this sub-standard referees.. WTF! pissed off by them! (although, you might learn something during the course of the match, but its too high a price to pay for both teams to have you rookie referees to ref this match. its just not the time. you get what i meant?)
after reading this, some of you might have formed the impression of me being a sore loser. well, that wouldn't be the case, if you know me well enough. "its just a game only." that's what i commonly says. in other words, i am not the sore loser kind of person.
it is really agonizing to end a season like this. there is really nothing else we could have done, but just sincerely hope that the EL DORADO all the best for their future games in this season.. (but i seriously doubt they could beat RP, who is so much better than them.)
rough fair play
ps. i didn't really manage to score any goals during the game, though i think i got 2 hit-post shots.. darn.. didn't make full use of my chances. sorry about that. for all the penalty takers, you guys did your best already. also, zi wei and andrew, thanks for all saves u guys made during the game. plus the seniors, thanks for coming down to play for us, we couldn't have come so far without your help. certainly, we will welcome you guys back. (erm.. just keep your physical in check. lol.)
great season, from zero to blizzards. it was nice playing along side with everyone of you.
