Super Reds are 5th, but...

Super Reds just concluded their 3rd season in the league with a credible though disappointing 5th-place finish, after the 2-3 loss to Home United on 28-Oct in their final game.

Now, the big question is: is this their final swan song? Or will they still remain in the league next season(s)?

S.League Table by Season Series Won

S.League Table by Season Series Won

Ever wonder how the S.League table will look like, if the points earned are base on season series won/drew/lost by each team, as though each series is a game itself?

Have actually posted the equivalent on BigSoccer for USA's MLS, let's see where the teams stand in this alternate table for 2009, as the 22-Oct: (will post the previous season's table later)

Code:

Without DPMM:

#. Team----- W-D-L Pts GD
-------------------------
1. S.Reds--- 8-0-2 24 +19
2. Gombak--- 8-0-2 24 +16
3. SAFFC---- 7-0-3 21 +42
4. Tampines- 7-0-3 21 +18
5. Home----- 7-0-3 21 +17
6. Geylang-- 5-0-5 15 -2
7. Y.Lions-- 3-2-5 11 -18
8. Albirex-- 3-0-7 09 -8
9. Sengkang- 2-1-7 07 -31
10.Balestier 2-0-8 06 -29
11.Woodlands 1-1-8 04 -24

Code:

With DPMM:

#. Team----- W-D-L Pts GD
--------------------------
1. DPMM----- 8-1-2 25 +8
2. Home----- 8-0-3 24 +24
3. Tampines- 8-0-3 24 +19
4. S.Reds--- 8-0-3 24 +17

10.Sengkang- 2-2-7 08 -31
11.Balestier 2-0-9 06 -34
12.Woodlands 1-1-9 04 -26

Surprise, surprise!!?? Our newly-crowned league champions, SAFFC, is only 3rd in the DPMM-less Table, and dropped even lower to 6th is DPMM is included!!

Salute to Super Reds, and especially DPMM, for their great show so far this season...

(IMHO, this is a nice way to see how teams have performed against each other over a season, regardless of number of games/rounds being played, and can be used to compare teams from seasons where the number of games/rounds were different. )

Counting down to League Cup 2009...

Noticed that these logos started from 27-May TODAY.

There was no "3 Days More" logo on 29-May edition though... :-)

P/S: Should it be "5 Days More" or "5 More Days"? :-p

Who will be the Last Winless "Away" Side in 2009?

This is the sister thread of Who will be the Last Unbeaten "Home" Side in 2009?,

Home United is now undergoing one of the most bizarre campaign since their league inception, as at 23-May, after being stunned by Balestier's late equalizer in the 1-1 draw at Toa Payoh, their home / away records (incl. JBS games for easy permutation) reads:

P W D L GF - GA Pts GD
Home: 6 4 2 0 14 - 2 14 (+12)
Away: 6 0 2 5 2 - 8 2 (-6)

What a whopping 13-point difference!! It is only 4 points away from the highest possible range. This is only "bettered" by Albirex:

P W D L GF - GA Pts GD
Home: 7 4 2 1 12 - 6 14 (+6)
Away: 6 0 0 6 2 - 16 0 (-14)

Home's woeful away record so far is also their worst since joining the league, even the wooden spoon side of 1997 managed to record their 1st away win in the 4th attempt.

P W D L GF - GA Pts GD
9.Y.Lions 7 0 3 4 2 - 7 3 (-5)
10.Balestier 6 0 3 3 6 - 13 3 (-7)
11.Home Utd 6 0 2 5 2 - 8 2 (-6)
12.Albirex 6 0 0 6 2 - 16 0 (-14)

Will they or Albirex be the last team to win away this season?
Or will that be the other 2 winless teams? Let's vote!!

Sengkang overtaken Sembawang Rangers!!

Yes, I'm talking about the S.League all-time table here (which can be found at the bottom of the S.League-TriVia blog), :-p

After Sengkang's hard-earned 1-0 win over Albirex on 22-May, they finally overtaken Sembawang Rangers into 12th-place with their all-time record now reads:

# Teams-- Ssn P-- W---D--L-- F---A-- Pts GD--
12 Sengkang 10 272 50-59-163 285-587 217 -302
13 Sembawang 7 207 53-52-102 256-405 216 -149

Congrats ya... :-)

Bravo Woodlands!!

Despite their lowly position in the league this season, on 21-May Woodlands managed what Sengkang, SAFFC & Gombak couldn't do so far: by "Denying Brunei DPMM the chance to go top of the table" with a stunning 2-1 win!

(At least that the headline used by LianHe ZaoBao: "兀兰阻止文莱登榜首", :-)


With this win, Woodlands also moved to within a point of the half-thousand milestone in the all-time table, their record now reads:

# Teams---- Ssn P-- W---D--L-- F---A-- Pts GD
05 Woodlands 14 370 137-90-143 604-609 499 -5

Below are some pictures taken during the match (sorry for the poor quality of camera phone):

When will DPMM finally win by more than a goal?

DPMM has chalked-up their 7th one-goal-win in as many victories so far (it would be 8 if Singapore Cup is included), with a another 1-0 win over Young Lions (out of an own goal some more) on 16-May.

This just make us wonder, when will they start winning by more than 1 goal in the league? Or is it not going to happen at all this season?

Similar to the poll "When will SAFFC draw their 1st league match in 2009?", let's vote on this too!!

DPMM's 7 league wins so far:
4 Mar 2009 DPMM FC 2 : 1 Super Reds
8 Mar 2009 DPMM FC 2 : 1 Woodlands
19 Mar 2009 Balestier 0 : 1 DPMM FC
24 Mar 2009 DPMM FC 1 : 0 Sengkang
10 Apr 2009 DPMM FC 2 : 1 Gombak
26 Apr 2009 DPMM FC 2 : 1 SAFFC
16 May 2009 DPMM FC 1 : 0 Young Lions

When will SAFFC draw their 1st league match in 2009?

This question came to me as I tried to do a Simple Projection on how teams will finish the 2009 season base on their up-to-date W-D-L records so far.

However, I had to hold myself back for now as SAFFC is still without a draw so far (8-0-3 as at 13-May), which means simple projection will show it finish the season draw-less, which is quite unlikely, given that only 2 out of 151 teams between 1996 & 2008 have gone through a season without a Win, Draw or Loss:
1996 Series 2: SAFFC 9-5-0
1997: Woodlands 11-0-5

That's just 1.32% in 13 seasons. If 2009 is included (where 11 other teams had already cleared off the zeroes), the odds would be just 2/162 = 1.23%!

So, I have been quietly waiting for SAFFC to clear THAT ONE LAST ZERO in the league table. When will that happen? Let's vote!!

---

A recap on when were the LAST ZEROES ELIMINATED in the past seasons:

1996 S-1: 14th round out of 14, Geylang were 9-0-4 before 1st draw
1996 S-2: N/A, SAFFC went 9-5-0 all season
1997: N/A, Woodlands went 11-0-5 all season
1998: 15/20, Sengkang 0-3-11 before 1st win
1999: 22/22, Home 15-6-0
2000: 13/22, Geylang 8-0-4
2001: 12/33, Tampines 3-0-8
2002: 20/33, Clementi 5-0-14
2003: 13/33, Tjg. Pagar 2-0-10
2004: 14/27, Tjg. Pagar 0-1-12
2005: 18/27, Paya Lebar 0-1-16
2006: 13/30, Young Lions 10-2-0
2007: 16/33, Tampines 12-0-3
2008: 13/33, Sengkang 0-5-7
2009: ??/33, SAFFC ??-??-??, 

Who will be the Last Unbeaten "Home" Side in 2009?

Now that all teams have been beaten at least once in 2009, there's still another unbeaten run to watch for, that is, which side will be the last to lose at home this season? 
(excluding neutral games at JBS, though it have to be counted for Young Lions, of course, )

As at May-13 (prior to Home-Tampines game), the remaining unbeaten home sides are:

P W D L GF - GA Pts GD
1. Gombak 6 5 1 0 11 - 2 16 (+9) @ J.West
2. Home 4 4 0 0 12 - 0 12 (+12) @ Clementi
3. BruneiDPMM 4 4 0 0 7 - 3 12 (+4) @ SHBS
4. Tampines 4 3 1 0 5 - 0 10 (+5) @ Tampines
8. Super Reds 4 2 2 0 4 - 2 8 (+2) @ Yishun

Let's vote who will be the last team to stand tall at home!! SAFFC managed to remain unbeaten at CCK throughout 2006 - 2008, some team may just do that this season!!

N/B: Though no sides are unbeaten away now, Gombak is technically still unbeaten in any opponents' home stadium. Their only "away" loss this season came against DPMM on 10-Apr @ JBS, 

S.League Conferences

Just a flash of thoughts that came to my mind:

Should the S.League, for whatever reasons, decides to adopt the USA-like conference system, how will the current teams be partitioned into, say, Eastern & Western Conferences?

2009 Line-up:

Western Conference:
Albirex - Jurong East - No brainer
Gombak - Jurong West - No brainer
Home United - Clementi - West for now, ::
SAFFC - Choa Chu Kang - No brainer
Super Reds - Yishun - Classify as West since Sembawang used to have a Northern Derby with Woodlands
Woodlands - Woodlands - North-West is West, ::

Eastern Conference:
Balestier - Toa Payoh - Classify as East since its closer to other Eastern Teams, notably Sengkang & Young Lions.
DPMM - SHB National - East of Singapore, any more questions? 
Geylang - Bedok - No brainer
Sengkang - Hougang - North-East is East, ::
Tampines - Tampines - No brainer
Young Lions - Jalan Besar - "Middle"-East is East, 

Make sense? 

2008 Line-up:

Western Conference:
Albirex - Jurong East - No brainer
Dalian - Queenstown - No brainer

Gombak - Jurong West - No brainer
SAFFC - Choa Chu Kang - No brainer
Super Reds - Yishun - Classify as West since
Sembawang used to have a Northern Derby with Woodlands
Woodlands - Woodlands - North-West is West, 

Eastern Conference:
Balestier - Toa Payoh - Classify as East since its closer to other Eastern Teams, notably Sengkang & Young Lions.
Home United - Bishan - Classify as East since its closer to other Eastern Teams, notably Balestier & Sengkang.
Geylang - Bedok - No brainer
Sengkang - Hougang - North-East is East, 
Tampines - Tampines - No brainer

Young Lions - Jalan Besar - "Middle"-East is East, 

Make sense too? The list can go on for prior seasons of the league...

ZaoBao: Singapore has "football fans"?

新加坡有“足球迷”吗?
（2009-03-24）
● 陈汇崑 

　　新加坡有没有足球迷？这似乎是一个多此一举、毫无必要的问题。 

　　但如果为“足球迷”这三个字设下更严格的定义，一般的新加坡足球爱好者或许充其量只能说是“英超迷”或 “大牌球队迷”，而并非真正的“足球迷”。 

　　新加坡人近年来对于足球的喜好可说是相当耐人寻味的。不久前利物浦对曼联的“双红大战”，相信看球的新 加坡人都会去留意。然而，七天前在惹兰勿刹体育场举行的军团对垒韩国水原三星蓝翼的亚洲冠军联赛战役，竟只 吸引了3867人前去观赛，人数不过比一般的新联赛战役多一些而已。 

　　亚冠赛没有欧洲的版本那样吸引人，这是不争的事实。但亚冠赛并非是年年都会在新加坡出现的赛事，而由韩 国前足球名将车范根领导的水原在未来10年里，也不一定会再踏上新加坡国土，喜欢足球的国人应该不会错过一 睹“韩国球风”的机会吧？ 

　　是因为经济不景气，没有多余的钱去购票吗（但普通看台门票只需5元）？还是因为比赛在周中举行，大家还 未放工，根本没空去观赛？换成是曼联或利物浦前来，情况会是如此吗？ 

　　回到去年7月。巴西国奥队来到我国热身时，尽管该队有罗纳尔迪尼奥（Ronaldinho）和帕托（P ato）这些球星助阵，也只有3万3650人买票入场观赛。 

　　新加坡人不爱到现场看球？那可不一定。新加坡国家队去年在铃木杯半决赛对垒越南时，就有将近5万人到场 支持。笔者的电话在新加坡确定进入半决赛时已响个不停，多名友人向我询问是否有办法帮他们弄到 免费门票。 

　　不到一个月时间，当新加坡在亚洲杯外围赛对垒约旦时，笔者手中的免费门票竟然无人问津。 
　　这是否意味着，只有当赫赫有名的英超和欧洲球会前来时、只有在新加坡有机会争夺冠军时，国人才愿意从“ 沙发球迷”变成现场观众？
曾有同行提出这样的观察：新加坡人似乎比较喜欢亲自去参加体育活动，而对于观看体育赛事，却不那么热衷，除 非是像F1赛车这样的世界级体育赛事。所以，我们会看到越来越多人参加马拉松赛、越野长跑、铁人三项等，但 要他们买票进体育场观看一般的球赛，他们好像不怎么在乎。 

　　我国将在未来几年内建筑体育城，其中一个合作伙伴世界体育集团曾拟议在体育城竣工后，创立亚细安超级足 球联赛，并在全年引入多项国际赛事供国人观赏。问题是，如果没有世界级的运动员、不是世界级的比赛，这类赛 事会不会在空荡荡的场馆内举行？


Singapore has "football fans"? 
（2009-03-24）

● Chan Wui Kun 

Singapore has no football fans? This seems to be a superfluous and unnecessary questions. However, if the "football fans" It's words set a more stringent definition, the Singapore soccer fans in general may, at best, can only be described as "England fans" or "big-name team fans", rather than real "football fans" . 


Singaporean soccer preferences in recent years can be described as quite intriguing. Not long ago, Liverpool and Manchester United's "double-red World War II", I believe that Singaporeans will go to watch a soccer match attention. However, seven days ago at Jalan Besar Stadium against Legionella Suwon Samsung Blue Wings of Asian Champions League campaign, has attracted only 3867 people went to watching, the total number than many of the new league campaign some more. 

AFC Champions Tour version is not as attractive in Europe, this is an indisputable fact. 

AFC Champions Tour but is not every year the event occurred in Singapore, while the former football star from Korea's Cha Bum-kun Suwon Leaders at the next 10 years will not necessarily set foot on Singapore territory, enjoy the football people should not miss to see the "ball Korea Wind" opportunity, right? 

Yes because the economic downturn, there is no extra money to purchase? (but general grandstand tickets only 5 dollars)? Or because competition held in the week, yet everyone off work, the fundamental concept of race did not go empty? Are replaced by Manchester United or Liverpool to come, the situation will be like this? 

Back in July last year. Brazil Olympic team warm-up time came to our country, even though the team has Ronaldinho (Ronaldinho) and Pato (Pato) of these players back, and only 33,650 people watching admission ticket. 

Singaporeans do not love to the scene to watch a soccer match? That does not necessarily. Singapore national team last year in Suzuki Cup semi-final against Vietnam, there are nearly 50,000 people arrived at the scene support. The author of the phone in Singapore to determine when to enter the semi-finals have been ringing non-stop, more than a friend asking me whether there are ways to help them get free tickets. 

Less than a month time, when Singapore at the Asian Cup qualifying round against Jordan, the author has the hands free tickets nobody cares. Does this mean that, only when the famous English Premier League and Europe will be coming to the ball, only in Singapore has the opportunity to compete for Championship, the country is willing to talent from the "Sofas fans" into the audience? 

Peer had made the following observation: Singaporeans seems to be more personally enjoy go take part in sports activities, and for watching sports events, but not so enthusiastic about, unless it is like F1 racing this world class sporting events. Therefore, we will see more and more people take part in marathon, cross-country long-distance running, triathlon, etc., but want them to buy into the stadium watch the game in general, if they do not care about. 

Our country will be in the next few years building Sports City, a partner in one of the World Sport Group had proposed in the Sports City is completed, the creation of ASEAN, Premier League and at international competitions throughout the year for the introduction of a number of people viewing. The question is, if there is no world-class athletes, rather than a world-class competition, such events will not be held in empty stadiums?

ZaoBao: Club Relocations cut Fans Loyalty (球会搬家削弱球迷归属感)

Quite a rare/nice article on Local Football:

球会搬家削弱球迷归属感
（2009-03-27）
● 齐裕鎏

Quote:

日前到巴刹买水果时，看见水果摊的少东又穿着军团球迷的汗衫。付钱时顺口问他：还有到场为军团打气吗？ 他回答说：“很少了，自从他们搬到蔡厝港之后，已经很少去看他们的比赛了。” 　　这名少东曾是军团的“死硬派”球迷，多年前每当在裕廊体育场采访新加坡职业足球联赛时，总是看到他在那 里为军团打气。裕廊体育场是军团的旧主场，他们后来搬到蔡厝港体育场，并以那里为新的主场。 　　我不知道像这名少东这样的例子有多少，即在自己支持的球队搬家后，便很少去看他们的比赛。但我相信，球 会搬家肯定无助于球迷建立他们的归属感，在新加坡尤其如此。与其他国家的联赛一样，参加新加坡联赛的球会也 是以所在地为据点（主场），如淡滨尼流浪以淡滨尼体育场为主场，兀兰威灵顿以兀兰体育场为主场。球会希望球 赛在自己的主场举行时，住在那里的居民都能到场支持，成为他们的拉拉队。 　　军团并不是唯一搬家的球会，内政部联队也在今年搬到金文泰体育场，因为它的主场碧山体育场获选为明年青 奥运的赛场之一，需要翻新。我不知道在内政部联队搬家之后，有多少住在碧山的球迷，还继续跑到金文泰体育场 为他们捧场，就像我不知道金文泰卡沙与马里士他合并之后，有多少住在金文泰的球迷继续前往大巴窑体育场观看 他们的比赛一样。必须一提的是，这并不是内政部联队第一次搬家，当他们还称为警察的时候，他们的主场是惹兰 勿刹体育场。 　　新加坡面积小，加上国人常搬家，使球会在培养球迷的归属感时，原本已面对一定的困难。如果球会也动不动 就搬家的话，将更难得到球迷的认同。我国的球迷与其他国家的毕竟不一样，以英超为例，因为他们的历史悠久， 许多球会的球迷甚至是世袭的。 　　提到裕廊体育场，便不能不提它最早的主人裕廊足球队。每当在IMM看到它设在那里的投注站大排长龙时， 心里总是在想，这支辉煌一时，获得不少西部球迷支持的球队在筹到足够的经费之后，是否还会重返新加坡职业联 赛，还是像许多老牌球队一样，从此在足坛消失。 　　裕廊队受到球迷欢迎的一个主要原因，就是多年来，它一直以裕廊为基地，与那里的球迷建立起 深厚的感情。足总其实有义务协助如裕廊等老牌球队重返新加坡职业联赛，这些球队的地方色彩浓厚，有一定的支持者，有他们 参加的比赛，场面十分热闹。

Went To the Market to buy fruit a few days ago saw the Shaodong Fruits Stall Legion also wearing a T-shirt fans. To pay him when just asked: Legion also boost the morale of the scene for? Him back FOR said: "The few, since they moved to Choa Chu Kang, the already rarely go to their game of."  The Legion Shaodong was the "die-hard" fans, many years ago when at an interview with Singapore's Jurong Stadium when professional football leagues, always see him there  Cheer for the Legion. Jurong Stadium Legion are the old home, they later moved to Choa Chu Kang Stadium, and there for the new home.  I do not know like this Shaodong the number of such examples, that is, at its own support team to move, they rarely look at their game. However, I believe, the ball Will move certainly does not help fans set up their sense of belonging, especially in Singapore. League with other countries, like Singapore take part in league club also is the location for the base (home), such as stray Tampines to Tampines Stadium for the home, Woodlands Wellington to Woodlands Stadium for the home. The ball will want the ball tournament held at their home, the live scene in support of all residents, to be their cheerleaders.  Legion is not the only club to move, the Ministry of the Interior United also moved to Clementi Stadium this year, because it's home Bishan Stadium next year, Green was elected one of the Olympic stadium, the renovation required. I do not know at the Ministry of the Interior United after moving, how many fans live in Bishan, Clementi also continued to go to the stadium for them to join in, just like I do not know Clementi and Balestier Khalsa After the merger, the number living in Clementi fans continue to go to Toa Payoh Stadium Views like their game.
