The last time I was registered in a Prime League squad back in 1998, we took home an allowance of $300. 21 years on, the U-19 league players are bringing home a whopping $50! And we’re wondering why our football hasn’t taken off.

Don’t know if he has realised this. The fact that Aiden has walked out with one of the best foreigners since professional football was introduced to Singapore in 1996.

Lion City Cup. It is important that we do not get carried away. Yes, some good individual performances. It’s what they do from here. Still early days. And remain humble and do not get sucked into bad habits like poor sportsmanship. The game has a funny way of getting back at you.

This is not a criticism of Zach Leong in goal. Of coz he made mistakes but he will learn. But this is pro football. He would not have played if the U-23 rule wasn't in place. So who suffers? 3 points and careers are at stake. Do the right thing.

Coaching isn’t abt getting ure coaching badges and then putting on a session. If ure not knackered at the end of just 1 session, something is wrong. Pre-training, training, post-training. Repeat. 365 days. N when ure team is struggling (I should know), turn up n dig in.
