after last week extraordinary result against hong kah csc in the nfl division 3 league which we won 8-2 at turf city. the whole team morale was very high n confident. we were up against pioneer csc on sunday nite. we won both games last year and kind of knowin that it will be a different team tat we r facin. as expected, i was named in the starting line-up after i was dropped last wk to the bench which was disappointin for me. im thrilled to be starting the match. everything were goin smoothly for us. it was a 50-50 match against them. both sides were eager to get the 1st goal. and it took 1 mistake from 1 of our defender to open up the score. it was disappointin n the opponent was very excited to get the 1st goal. we knew we got a mountain to climb thereafter. after tat goal,the opponent didn't threaten our goal until 2nd half onwards when we were goin more attackingly. the ref for this match was very very very pathetic! he disallowed 2 penalties claim from us (which 1 of it was damn obvious). i guess the ref must be a virgin man cos he cannot handle the pressure.. dangerous tackles gone unpunished by the opponent. haiz.. damn stupid ref. the opponent scored their 2nd goal of the nite thanks to another ref as well (lines-man) he let an obviously offsided player to cross for their striker to slot home. we protested angrily but to no avail. it was a very stupid decision. 2-0 down... damn shit man wif the ref not doin his job properly. majority of the match,im always there winning the freekicks around the opponent's half, goin up for high ball challenges n i chase after the ball here and there.. yes.. there were occasion tat i mis-passed the ball but i was very disappointed that i was being substituted lor. haiz.. i also doubt my coach's tactics when we were 2-0 down.. (from 4-4-2..switch to 4-3-3) yes! it was an attacking move but my poor teammate johnny was alone in the middle of the park against 2 opponents lor. anyway...im not goin to comment further.. now i just hope that our team can get back to winning ways starting from next wk onwards. we cannot afford anymore defeat to deter our place in nfl division 2 next year. tats our objective!
