Hey Team , (i have to include, Jay in the greetings) Great episode! I appreciate that you addressed a potentially negative comment, but it actually provided valuable insights into your dynamic. I agree that views don't have to be polarising, which is a knock on effect of social media. Further, i not only look out for your views in subject - which is great - but the valuable insights into issues (through your hosts) which is what we fans are often left in the dark about. Regarding the match experience, we have everything you mentioned (food, jerseys, etc.) in a format that's very familiar to us - our local pasar malam. I believe we should integrate our local football with our unique SG pasar malam experience to enhance the overall experience. I'm sure the people in charge are already working on this, but cost and preparation are significant hurdles. As a first step, my beloved BKFC featured Mr. Vadai at their recent game. Hopefully, we'll see more features like this in the future. 😀😀😀
good show...hope we will show more local women's football on tv to generate interest and also something for the family to watch together...who knows, more will decide to go down to the stadiums to watch em play.
honestly I think more can be done for women’s football since we’re at this topic of the show. I know that probably not as much is invested into the women’s league as much as the men’s. It’s almost like we’re waiting for more viewership before we get more investment. But like Neil mentioned, they(FAS and clubs) should reach out to the community. Maybe by first ensuring good pitches for the women’s team to play on. Remember they planned the entire women’s league season at CCK stadium? - a huge risk for injuries. Basic things such as the scoreboard wasn’t on as well, we had to manually keep track of the score. When was the last time you attended a professional football match without scoreboards? As compared to the men’s league, the women’s team are less paid, they need outside jobs and can only play on weekends due to that. How can we prevent injuries for the women’s team? How can we also create the community spirit amongst our neighbourhood, if stadiums are being shared?
About our SPL predictions - In my own view, its too early to do so. The season is a long one and we have to wait for more drama to unfold in our very own SPL. Honestly, i feel its a open race currently between more than four teams to grab the honours. But the biggest takeaway, which is unfairly not mentioned much in socials/media is that each of clubs are no longer like what they were last season, and that gave rise to new challenges to each of them, making it very exciting this season. Not forgetting the fact that AFC representation is open to all except DPMM, so top finish is what each other club will try to aim & achieve. To me its more of a strong reason to get back to supporting your local club and also inviting new supporters -(i.e youth). 😀😀😀
I just wish SPL clubs have their own stadiums back.. different club/stadium gives off diff vibes.- Like how is GIFC gonna build a 'community' around the club if they have to move from Bedok, to Jln Besar to Bedok to Tampines Hub to Jln Besar again..
It’s gonna be a tough season for Albirex. Besides the fact they are a new team, the team has inherent weaknesses. Firstly, their 3 starting midfielders are on the wrong side of 30, and lack the legs and intensity (note Otake’s mistakes against Tampines) of previous Albirex teams which were young and energetic. Secondly, they do not have natural fullbacks - Gareth Low used to play mainly in central midfield, same for Syed Firdaus while Firdaus’ backup Arshad prefers to venture forward more than defend. Thirdly, Jumbo Hoshino lacks a true AMC to play off like Ryoya at Balestier last season and is often isolated at times. Fourth, for all of Daniel Goh’s merits he disappears during matches and his defensive contribution isn’t the best which can leave the team exposed especially in the later stages. Moreover, the squad depth isn’t good, look at the players coming off the bench - most of them arguably will not make the first team of any other SPL team save arguably Tanjong Pagar. Lastly, most of the other teams have significantly strengthened, helped by the new foreigner ruling. Hence, I think this season will be a big challenge for Albirex.. unless they get 2 more U23 Japanese players with fresh and willing legs to strengthen and help the team for this really long season.
I have a 6 years old girl and she’s going to Primary 1 next year. As a Football Dad, it’s very disheartening to learned that a lot primary schools, especially those around my areas, doesn’t have girls football team. Most of them are boys football team. Listening to what Nur Syafiqah had gone through, I personally felt that Singapore are still not ready for Girls’ football yet. Probably it’s just me, but I felt that most primary schools are not motivated to get their girls to participate in sports like Football, and I did post this question to my friends who are teaching in Primary school, and they seems to have a consensus that 8-9 years old girls are too fragile for competitive sports like Football, as they perceive football as too injury prone for girls.
Not to mention the girls (and due to lower participation rate), even the boys at 8-9 aren’t allowed to play football in NSG (and other team sports) as MOE doesn’t allow age dispensation
Hello chaps,brillant podcast,all this noise on Son,seems like a certain Park Ji Sung has been forgotten,the first asian to be a Prem champion and Champions League winner!

Women football in general are basically not so interesting..
Wrong! . You need to improve your product then fans willl come.Dancing girls and food trucks cannot do it.
