I really feel for Raddy, for his post match interview, he was
spot on with regards to the referee being distracted by the
comments made by the Iran coach. The Iran coach claims that since
Singapore and China enjoy good relationship and the referees are
all from China, he seems to suggest that Singapore will enjoy some
added advantage. Throughout the match the refereeing was simple
awful. Fouls given for perfectly timed tackle, fickle-minded
decision with regards to the penalty, Iranian players so obviously
time-wasting and yet no bookings were given.
However, Singapore didnt perform enough to suggest that they
deserved to go through. Passes were wayward, players cant hold on
to the ball and the defence were outrun by the Iran players.
I thought Singapore started the 2nd half brightly but lacked the
spark Alam Shah may be good but he needs an equally capable strike
partner with him upfront. He can be seen fighting alone for
majority of the match!
P.S I was sick hearing Sasikumar commenting the match, he sucks
big time man. They should just hire someone else to do the
commenting, even Shebby Singh, although he suck as well, is a
better commentator than Sasi.
Did you guys managed to hear this during the match?
Sasi: Player A is a talented player, we've seen him play in the
AFC Champions League, ang moh and i think that he will be in the
spotlight soon, playing in big league.
Ang Moh Commentator: I think he's absolutely rubbish! It was you
who think he's that good.
Sasi: . . . . .
Tio pwn big time, on tv some more.
