New Gay Buddies Pairing


Final Years 4-3 Rest of the World (aka Non Final Years)

In what was a thrilling match between the fantastic Final Years and the roving Rest of the World, the Final Years emerged victors with a nail-biting scoreline of 4-3.

Following the usual testimonial match pleasantries --- that of unpreparedness and an unusual high scoring game --- 'Testimonial for Thiang' turned out to be an exciting affair. With the final years starting with a depleted team, made all the more depleted with Gant as a stand-in keeper, we managed to start the scoring through a series of moves starting with the very dubious handball by ROTW's Khairul...and was finished off subtely by Final Year's non final year, Ngoi Cin Heng.

However, the first 5min of the match turned out to be a very scrappy affair....with multiples errors and crappy passing, compounded by former-past-his-prime-RH-captain Jack. Yet, even so, his ex-roomie Thiang managed to squeeze in another goal just after the first. 2-0 up!

The ROTW, refusing to back down, took advantage of a horrible decision by makeshift keeper Gant who in his hesitation to clear the ball, ended up whacking his own teammate Azfar, thus gifting the ball for the opponents to pop it through an empty net. In his defense however, he was injured and wearing white, which would cause him to look very muddy if he actually did any work. 2-1!!

Towards the end of the first half, Shaun Goh dazzled his way down the right (able to do so only because of a extremely competent rightback who was covering him...ME) and slotted in another goal through PRC keeper Liu Siyan who could only watch haplessly as the ball kissed the back of the net. 3-1 and no looking back!!

BEEP!!! HALFTIME....it must be said at this point that Ex-RH Ronaldinho Chai Mingjie came late...and did little to help boost the team's attack in any way.

BEEP!! As Keane (Yes...missed-open-goal-against-SH Keane) blew the whistle to kick start the 2nd half.

As fatigue set in, the plays of both teams became sluggish and slow. This culminated in Jack missing a beautifully set ball and sent it ballooning over the goalpost.

ROTW managed another goal by someone whom I forgot to send the scoreline to 3-2. OoO...Exciting....

Ex-RH avatar of Alonso --- Tito --- was a midfield general. Distributing plays, making tackles....Why didn't I start him for IHG last year? Anyway....everyone was really tired. However, one dark man stood out like a bright light --- Safar. He terrorised the ROTW's defence and together with Shaun, made many pissed in their pants. Not amazingly, he dribbled past 3 defenders and put the ball through ROTW keeper Kaixiang's legs for FY's 4th goal....

4--2!!!

But it wasn't over. Not yet. Present El Capitan, Wuyao, wasn't going to let go of the match so easily. With a flash of brilliance, he skipped past Tito and Safar....to ensure a 1 on 1 with Gant. After making some gay eye-to-eye contact with Gant, he flashed the ball past him...4-3!!

Of course, it isn't a testimonial match if there wasn't any drama and this came 3min from the end as Thiang, who scored an earlier goal, collapsed to the floor in agony. Was it a weak heart? No. It was merely a cramp that left him in terrible pain. "Jack Jack!! HELP!" He cried. Jack's first instinct was to call Vanessa...no, not for first aid....but to take pictures of this helpless man.

"AHhhhh!!!" Guochuan screamed.
"Faster faster!" Jack shouted to Vanessa.

Oh...the drama that ensued.

Anyway, the match ended not long after and we had free red bulls from the pretty red bull girls.

Testimonial for Thiang.

Hello Guys!! It has been brought to my attention that a fellow hardcourt enthusiast and one-time RH soccer player is graduating this Sem. His name is Thiang Guo Chuan and he is my beloved roomie. Therefore, if you guys are game, I would like to propose a field session on next Saturday's morning.

To honour those graduating or probable graduates this year, I wanna propose:

FINAL YEARS vs NEOPHYTES.

Yes yes, the finals years are challenging the ROTW (rest of the world) to a GAME. C'mon, we need to play for fun wad...some bonding session.

Off the top of my head, the final years include:

Thiang
Tito
TK
Thad
Safar
Rajiv
Jack
Mingjie
Gabriel
Shaun
Azfar

We already have 11....are the rest game?? =)

RH 2-2 TH

There was a sense of anticipation. A moment of silence. The whistle blew. A thrilling match ensued.

In what was supposed to be a morale boosting game for TH turned out to be a torrid affair for the normally ranked top 3 hall in NUS for soccer.

TH scored early with some slick passing and some horrid defending from the RH team. In truth, the 1st 3rd was rather terrible for RH with the only moment of excitement coming from a beautiful shot by Thaddeus out of the box only for the keeper to tip it over.

The 2nd half saw us equalising with a curling corner from one of the lion kings 'safar' in what I think was a fluke..but who cares when it's a goal...especially when it was the first one against a NUS Hall this year! However, not to be outdone, TH scored back to make the score 2-1 in what truly was an exciting match.

To boost the team, the subs of Jack n Lloyd were made. Lloyd being the rock on the right hand side whereas Jack's role was to make TH complacent. The sight of Jack warming up on the touchline already brought smiles to the THians faces. However, Jack had a moment of brilliance when he made a long run up and proceeded to connect with the ball for a volley which glanced off the face of the goal. When will he score for RH?

It must be mentioned at this point that Thaddeus played the first two halves and was only subbed out to let others have a chance. And also, that Jack told me to write about him so next time, if u wanna be included, tell me. Anyway, an opportunistic shot by Weiquan caught the TH keeper off-guard and ensured a thunderous roar from the RH supporters. Could we FINALLY CHANGE OUR BLOG NAME? With the score levelled at 2-2, it was anybody's guess.

Yet, the game ended as such. However, it was a lesson learnt by the opponents that RH is a force to be reckoned with this year. With new transfers and buys, we have become a Man-City of sorts and still, our team is set to become even stronger with new transfer rumours this coming window.

We'll register our first win soon.

Sheares Hall.....Are YOU RHeady?

The tension for an epic battle is building up with the final war cry due this Sunday.... Yes! It is the annual affair of RH vs SH and oh what an affair it has been!!

I still remember the day in which we were trounced 2-0 on a muddy, wet field in ulu woodlands 2 years ago....and how they steely held on to a draw in last year's IHG. The truth is undeniable --- We are getting closer to nicking our first win against Sheares...

In truth, I've always considered Sheares to be RH's "brother hall". Much of this truth being rooted in the fact that like us....they have a shambolic soccer team as well as a over-zealous handball squad. Truth be told, they are somewhat like Holland.....Cool orange jerseys and not much else.

So I ask of you --- those who are obviously free enough to read this post --- ARE YOU PREPARED TO DO BATTLE?

I know I ain't. I'm busy this Sunday. =)

RH 2-3 Some Pasir Panjang Club (20/9)

SRC - Raffles Hall had its first soccer friendly of the year in a spectacular matchup with the opponents of Some Pasir Panjang Club.

Although the turnout was poor, the spirits were high as RH raced to open the scoring floodgates with a superb goal by somebody whose name I've forgotten.

The opponents, not to be outdone, came back 3 goals by half time. However, 2 of the goals were highly disputable due to the lack of a linesman. Yet, the 1st goal was a class act, with their speedy winger cutting in from the right leaving Jack for dead before unleashing a defence splitting pass between Lloyd and someone for their striker to finish off.

Because of their ineptness --- both Jack and Thaddeus were sidelined for the 2nd half.

To curb their attacking madness, RH decided to unleash their secret weapon --- Shaun Goh --- who was kept under wraps for 4 years. Using his stored up power since his freshman year, Shaun took the ball and turned their defence inside out....and outside in for good measure. His defensive duties were also carried out in an exemplary fashion.

RH fought back hard and were dominating the match towards the end due to the opponent's fatigue and probably, awesome awe of RH's power. We came close to leveling the score by making it 3-2 but just as we were about the score the 3rd goal, the whistle blew.

Yet, the passing was good, the attack was good, the defence was hard. It was truly an enjoyable match... Special mention to our 2 newcomers Yang and Quan....the more than 1/2 of Yang ZhouQuan who played a spectacular 1st match for RH.

Watch out.......RH is on track for the IH Gold. =)

Gay Buddies

In my four years in Raffles Hall, I've seen many "gay" buddies, and have been in one such relationship too. Can you guys think of more pairs?

1. Xu Yang and Yang Wen Hao
2. Tito and Adit
3. Jerome and Jonathan
4. Jack and Guochuan
5. Jerold and Jiashen
6. Ian Loo and the other Dragon Boater

If they were Premiership players

Thaddeus Kan is Cesc Fabregas. Young captain. Wonderkid 3 years ago, but never really improved. Wanted to leave for club in orange (Barca and Sheares). Not good enough for the national (NUS) team.

Previous captain was Jieke a.k.a William Gallas. Reliable defender and a captain who talks talks talks. If the trend continued, Arsenal next captain is Bendtner. Like Wu Yao, he dribbles well but must improve his finishing. Lloyd is Eboue for obvious reasons.

Azfar is Skrtel. Ming Jie tried, but he's too kewl to be Kewell. David is Dirk Energizer Kuyt.

Liu Qi and Liu Siyan are products of the academy. Like Jay Spearing and Stephen Darby of Liverpool, no one has heard about them (like you!). Probably will never make it in their respective places.

TK is David James. Old. Damn old. Still the one of the best keepers around, confidence player tho. Weird dressing sense. Until being replaced by Kai Xiang a.k.a Ben Foster.

Mario is the Jamaican(?) Mancs' new striker. He came, he saw, he went on loan somewhere we don't know.

Sri Ram is Robbie Fowler. Other aliases include 'God'. Great finishers but needs to work on their bellies.

Gant is Eduardo. Long-term injury, but not sure if it's only a simulation. Got his banned overturned.

I'm Andy Gray. Old time great, but only comments nowadays. And I have too much time.

And as a team RH is Republic of Ireland. Green is one thing. We and the Irish would have qualified if not for Keanes' (our Keane and Robbie Keane) misses.

Quizzzzz

Quite tough this one.




Awww...don't feel left out.

Haha, I would like to make a formal apology to all those whose names haven't had the opportunity as yet to be mangled, wrecked and twisted by the sadistic blog writers.

Like Sri Ram...I would like to do a quiz about him...but....I can't for the entire world find a pic that rhymes with 'SRI' so too bad. I did give it a minute of thought though....

In fact, I was hardworking and obviously free enough to do a google image search on 'sri'...and came up with 2 pics...








One of which belongs to Sri Aurobindo Ramana and the other to a 008 Vauxhall "Corsa" Sri.
So you see...it is not for lack of trying. It helps if you have easier, more ubiquitous names like Jack or Tito. A dime a dozen of those around...too many if you ask me.

Anyway, I sincerely hope to see others contribute to this wonderful piece of work going on here at this blog. People like Shaun and Ram and what-have-you....

If you would like to be part of this magical experience of blog posting, please contact Jack Goh Jieke for more details.

the best quiz yet..

Who is Who!

As I was listening to Journey, it suddenly dawned on me that their frontman, Steve Perry, didn't quit!! No...He just left for the greener pastures of Barcelona!

Try and see if you can differentiate Steve Perry from Messi...
