Dunmanians 2002 :
Score - 0 : 1
Dunmanians Class of 2002 faced yet another adversity in their quest for victory against a side of 16 year old juveniles on the soccer pitch of
A strong line-up was put up by our Special Tinkerman Jason. Black Panther turned Pink Panther (due to absence of gloves) Cech Zhirong as GK, 21 yr old Yao Chen as LB, Benny Tongz as RB and the two CBs (not cheese piez) were Ho Chuan and YZ. CMs as usual were Kengs and Jason whilst wingers include Dricsy (left) and Boon Wee (right). Kenny played in the role of withdrawn striker (similar to Looney) and Zan Rui as bulldozer forward ala Julio Baptista who can only tyco score 4 goals against
Too much of a digression. Back on a serious note, there were presence of a teaspoon of fighting spirit, a tablespoon of teamwork and a pinch of creativity and luck. The key ingredients were there but were the recipe for success on its way? Would the baked end product from the oven be a delicious victory fruitcake or an overcooked SM mess for the DHS kias?
The answer was clearly apparent the minute the match kicked off. Astonishingly, it was the opponent who committed a blunder in the 1st minute. The opposition keeper donning a grey no. 41 jersey spotting a transformers logo fumbled upon his first touch of the ball. He exhibited a clear display of butter fingers and dropped the ball upon his catch. However with Zan Rui showing a lack of composure, he failed capitalise and put the ball into the empty net and the keeper recovered by getting a firm grip of the ball once again.
The next chance of the match occurred in the 5th minute. It came in the form of Kenny using his silky skills to shield the ball. This time he was going for placing by trying to chip the ball into the right hand top corner of the net but it was blasted over the crossbar instead. A good chance went begging.
A series of events happened following Kenny’s spurned chance and since it’s overly action packed, they are summarised as follows:
10th min – Zan Rui pressurises the defence. Opponent buai tahan, so brings Zan Rui down by tugging his famous maroon-gold jersey. Najip gives freekick as offset package. Keng Yang bending it like Beckham but keeper saves the ball easily.
15th min – A mess in opponent’s penalty area. Boon Wee finds his way in opponent’s penalty area. His shot is blocked by Tevez Fatty John wearing No. 11 Jersey.
17th min – Swee Swee cross by Benny. However, Zan Rui goes AWOL and no one heads the ball in.
21th min – A chance to score. A shot by player manager goes slightly over the bar.
26th min - Oppenent scores! A shocker. Czech Zhirong fumbles on the ball and the opponent passes ball into net. Next time we should change our tagline from “SM” to “wake up”.
26.5th minute – Poor Ho Chuan tio scapegoat as he was subbed out for the introduction of Bangwei.
33th min – Yet another chance to score. A strong Kengs’s shot goes pass the left hand post
39th min – Benny does a bending high cross. Zan Rui attempts to apply superb finishing to the ball. But it results in innelastic collision between opponent and Zan Rui. Zan Rui feels his chest beri pain but his own teammates felt that he was playacting. Keeper gets the ball and referee rules no foul since Zan Rui was also offside.
6th min, 13th min, 22th min,38th min, 42th min -> BSSSS foul throw. MIB Najip was spot on. =)
47th min (2 minutes added for injury time) – First half ends.
In the interval, there was pep talk so as to pick Dunmanians 2002 from the doldrums as well as restore fighting spirit. As such, Yan Zhang gave way for supersub kaKAWAIhin22. Wenguang was Day 3 after his Atten B status and played his familiar role of left winger. That left Yan Zhang, Dricsy and Ho Chuan on a threesome on the bench.
Second half commenced as Najip blew the whistle. It was a tremendous paradox to the first half. Dunmanians pushed up and were constantly seeking opportunities to equalise.
Moreover it was tedious since BSSSS packed their defence and adopted a 10 men behind the ball strategy. They were practically parking their magic school bus in front of their goalpost. Siala!
Zan Rui was a huge disappointment as he blew 2 golden chances to score. The 1st chance came in the 50th minute whereby Kenny dribbled the ball to the byline and cut back the ball to Zan Rui. Poor first touch of the ball and the opponent earned a goalkick. The 2nd chance when Boon Wee did a through pass to him. It was a sitter but he spurned the chance. As such, he was subbed out in the 60th minute for the reintroduction of Dricsysy.
There were numerous shots by Dunmanians that came close to going into the net that left the fans sighing. These include shots by Jason, Boon Wee, Bangwei, Kenny, Keng Yang. Notable efforts include the plentiful runs that wingers Wenguang and Bonn Wee executed. These threatened the opponent’s Spartan like defence greatly but still ain’t enough.
One of the critical moments of the match occurred in the 55th minute whereby DHS 2002 earned a corner kick. Wenguang executed an inswinging corner kick and the opponent’s defence were in sixes and sevens. In the scramble, Zan Rui managed in flick the ball back for Jason to head the ball in. The celebration ended before it even began as it deemed disallowed goal by the Men In Black (Referee) given that Zan Rui was judged to be in an offside position.
Dunmanians were getting more and more desperate to try to secure a good result to end their disappointing spell in maroon-goal jerseys. The whole team push up so much to the point that Cech Zhirong was very close to the halfway line. In the dying minutes, Dricsy attempted a banana kick that was atrocious. What was he thinking?
A last ditch attempt from Jason was in the form of a half volley that seemed destined for goal. Moreover in the last split second, the opponent’s goalkeeper dived gracefully to save the ball.
That sums up all. The opponent was here for a result and did not adhere to the beautiful game, it was saddening but nevertheless they achieved their objective. In retrospect, Dunmanians did not play the beautiful game too since Dunmanians Class of 2002 did not play to full potential. Neither was lady luck on their side.
Man of the match: Initially awarded to Cech Zhirong for his performance and excellent form in texas. But reawarded to Najip since he’s back (bo bian he Man in Black lar lol...) and because Zhirong had fumbled the ball to allow opponent to score in the 26th minute.
Quotes of the day:
Benny to Dricsy: “You wanna fall down, fall down harder!!!”
Benny to Zan Rui: “You wanna kick, kick harder!!!”
Dricsy proudly saying to whole team: “Just now I did a superb BANANA kick!!!”
Boo-boo: Ganasai goalkicks by the opponent.
Red Card: Goalkeeper wasted 5 minutes by changing his boots during the second half
Courtesy of the Thirsty Traveller Zhou Xing Xing , now on holiday with Da Shu to scout for fruit juices as he is running out of creative juices for match leports. He wants to convey his message to Dunmanians: “Everyday is not Sunday la, you think play soccer so easy to win meh? Next match on June 24, it’s a Sunday sia!! Buy Dunmanians give half ball consperm got chance sia!”

DHS 1:1 Bangwei's Friend Team (The Blacks feat. Louis)
(Keng Yang, 40th minute)
The match kicked off around
As the "imaginary whistle" blew off, both teams started to string a few passes. However, passing of both teams were kind of sloppy since conditions were like a beach soccer playing surface. In the 5th minute, Dunmanians intercepted the opposition’s pass and launched an attack. The ball reached Kenny's feet and he did a turn ala Berbatov and tried to put the ball in the net. The lucky stars were not there and it glanced past the left post of the opposing goalkeeper. It was a wasted opportunity indeed.
As the match progressed, both teams gave the ball away cheaply whenever they gained possession. As a result, the Blacks tried the aggressive approach by launching tenacious tackles that were not short of cynical. This caused the match getting out of hand but it was no surprise due to the absence of the referee. There was a lack of an umpire to give calls to 50-50 decisions, where both teams claim that they are right.
In the midst of the first half, opposing player No. 8 Zac played the role of playmaker by taking initiative in launching numerous attacks at Dunmanians right side. That was our weakest link since Tse Yang had pushed up too much as right midfielder. With lack of cover, commanding right back Bangwei resembled a sponge, constantly absorbing and neutralising attacks from the opposing left midfielder. At one moment, opposition did a long throw in from their left flank; Dricsy was caught off guard and called for offside since Yong Bu Yan Bai contestant "Louis" was in offside position. However it was not offside since it was a throw in and Louis tried to capitalise on that. Dricsy showed his garang side by slicing the heels of Louis, claiming that it was a legitimate tackle. Soon, sparks flew and both teams were heated up.
Dunmanians were clearly in attacking mood when Kenny made way for remaining, supersub Boon Wee in the 30 minute as Kenny had suffered abrasions from grass. The No. 4 added pace to our team and our attacking play improved.
Closing to the end of the first half when makeshift timekeeper Zan Rui called for 5 minutes remaining, a low ball pass from Keng Yang reached the feet of fox in the box Tse Yang. Tse Yang was in decision of whether to dribble past the defender or shoot. At that point of time, what was seen was like a ham sandwiched in two pieces of freshly toasted bread. Tse Yang was clearly that piece of juicy ham as he was being sandwiched by two defenders in the penalty box. He was brought down! All in maroon jerseys felt it was a penalty. Opposition claimed it was a free kick. We were stunned and felt SM. With the resulting free kick, Keng Yang bended the ball over the wall and over their frail keeper and into the net. The scoreline read 1-0. Justice was served. The first half soon ended.
Player manager Jason then started to give out instructions to players on how to capitalise on the weaknesses of the opposition. His acts reminded us of a certain Sudramoothy in his twilight years at Jurong FC years back. We were happy that our team mate cum manager did not dish out hairdryer treatment to us but showered us with encouragement to perform better in the 2nd half. Main changes included the change from a
Second half started after the break. Clearly the heat in everyone’s heart remained as tempers flared. As usual, there was continuation of sloppy passing from first half by both teams but Dunmanians were slightly better as we displayed sporting behaviour despite several bad calls of decisions.
No. 19 displayed his dirty antics once again which was not short of astonishing. In the 48 minute, he was deemed by us to have handled the ball at somewhere around the centre line. He denied in doing so and kept claiming that he did not handle the ball by showing us his golden third finger, followed by dribbling down his right flank and scoring. We were in disgust as he celebrated arrogantly as though he had won the S-League.
Our team tried very hard to pull one back straight after conceding, so as to catch the opponent by surprise. In the 54 minute, Zanrui tried what Zidane had done against Bayer Leverkusen in 2002 Champions League Final. It was an audacious attempt to volley the ball and the ball entered the school premises instead, resulting in a 5 minute delay in the match as Zanrui had to go pick the ball by climbing through 5 gates. He felt as lonely when getting the ball back as he was playing the lone striker.
Both teams regrouped after the delay. Zanrui swapped roles with Yao Chen whilst Yao Chen subbed out for the reintroduction of Marcus Teo. It proved to be an inspiring substitution as attacking link ups were improved. The triangle of Marcus, Kenny and Boon Wee started to connect though no goals were scored. Defensively it was quite a disaster since many scoring opportunities were presented to the opposition. Moreover, our opponent flunked these chances as their teamwork was not there, with their No. 19 who constantly blaming “Ali” for not passing the ball to him and connecting well with him.
Star player “Dricsy” attempted to stamp his authority in the match by executing various tenacious tackles. All of us knew he was trying hard, but he had done so to the point that he suffered cramps and we welcomed the reintroduction of Yao Chen for him. Yao Chen switched to left side of defence and Zan Rui to central defence.
Instantly, there was melodrama as opponent player No. 8 Zac bodychecked Zan Rui, with his studs having minimal contact with Zan Rui’s left calf. Zan Rui made full use of the contact with his theatrics, falling to the ground and shouting in pain. This earned our team a free kick which was crucial as No. 8 Zac was furious and lost his cool, and he was even reprimanded by his teammates.
Possession was evenly shared with both teams attempting to play their passing game. We were soaking up constant pressure so as to launch quick counter attacks at the opponent. Marcus was linking up very well with Boon Wee and Kenny but they lacked the finishing touch since the opponent crunched in with several dirty tackles with malicious intent.
The opponent got through our defence on two instances. The first instance being No. 8 Zac in a one on one situation with black panther “Cech” Zhirong. Zac had the chance to shoot from an acute angle but before he could do so, evergreen defender Zan Rui neutralised him by using his physical presence to bodycheck Zac so as to prevent him to shoot. Our opponents cried foul and wanted penalty, but since there was no referee, judgement call could not be made.
On the second instance, opponent’s No. 19 got through again and was ready to shoot. A technical foul was executed by Zan Rui to prevent him from shooting. This resulted in a free kick conceded just at the edge of the penalty box. As we formed the wall, the opponent tried to disorientate our wall. Both sides clashed when Bangwei’s friend, the guy donning the No. 2 jersey, was unhappy with Yao Chen for banging to him. Both of them were told to cool down. No.19 flunked the free kick, blasting the ball out, to our relief.
In a last ditch attempt to snatch a victory, Keng Yang initiated an attack from the left flank by dribbling past 3 defenders and into the penalty area. Our only fan on the sidelines “pom pom boy” Jeremy Kiw thought that was the moment of the match as Keng Yang look as though he would score. However, their last man was in luck as he was the right place at the right time and toed poked the ball out of play just in time to save his team.
Time ticked away and another “imaginary” final whistle was blown. The match had ended in a bore draw that was full of stagnant play. The match was rated 4 out of 5 yawns for being played in such an uninspiring fashion.
Oscar Moment of the match: A supposedly Chilean named player " Zamorano" honed his playacting skills once again when opposing rugger "Zac" tried to do his scrum on him. Talk in the town says Zamorano is going to be transferred to a Bollywood soccer club in Mumbai.
Most Improved player: Right back Bangwei. He was the unsung hero cancelling out numerous attacks by the opponent. Supported attacking play as well.
Hot prospect of the future: Zamorano’s Sec 2 classmate Marcus Teo. He is equipped with great holding ball skills as spreading the ball well to his counterparts Boon Wee and Kenny.
Man of the match: Hard to judge. Probably none. Could be that invisible referee.
Quotes of the day:
First Quote: Zhirong to No. 19 "SM, why you so vulgar?" when bespectacled No.19 spewed expletives at our black panther goalkeeper.
Second Quote: Zamorano to opponent: “No Ref, how to foul throw?” when opponent claimed Zamorano fouled throw.
Third Quote: Dricsy in urging us to be unsporting by saying “Dun shake their hands”
Positives of the match: Entrepreneurship displayed by Dunmanians. What more can I say with us having a round of free water chestnut and sugarcane drinks at Bedok 85?
Negatives of the match:
It all started because of the fact of the absence of a referee.
Dricsy showing that he can be head of gangs of
Lack of key players such as Thiellery(Cambodia/Vietnam), Benny "Tevez" Tong(Europe/Japan), Wenguang(Atten B), yanZhang(Atten C), limyang(
Joke of the day: Mocking and laughing while reminiscing at Louis's Beckham impersonation in the Channel 8 show Yong Bu Yan Bai. He had suffered cramps while attempting a weak bicycle kick in the 2nd half.
