MOB's losing streak continued as they crumbled to a 5-3 defeat at Lalaland to MKFC.

The match started off with MOB at a numerical disadvantage as Raymond and Sam arrived 5 mins after kick off. In this 5 mins, MKFC took the lead with virtually the 1st touch of the ball as Marcus ran down the 3-man defence and hooked in for Bernard to put away.

0-1.

MOB, obviously shocked by this early goal down looked to get back but was hit with another goal, when a free kick was conceded outside the pen. area. Dangerous as always, it went in and MOB went 2 goals down in the opening 10 minutes. geez i cant belif it.

0-2.

MKFC seemed the better side in the 1st half, most of the time pumping long balls up to their strikers to chase and catch, while MOB was playing more conservatively, trying to string passes together, trying to get a hold on the game. Raymond and Samuel den stepped in and MOB launched their 1st attack as Samuel got a brilliant cross into Zac Loo in the centre but the header went into the keeper's arms.

MOB, playing more comfortably now with Mitch and Irvin in central defence, and Joel stepping in at RB for Aloy and Raymond in the familiar left back berth. In midfield, Jon and Zac came in the centre with Sam on the left and Zhi Yang wide out on the right. Leading the strike force was Desmond and Zac Loo. Min Jie had yet to make a save even though MOB had conceded 2 goals.

Now the MKFC attacks seemed to be breaking down as MOB got more of a grip in the match. Passes around defence were nervous but successful, and pretty soon MOB did most of the attacking. Desmond provided a constant threat with his brilliant dribbling and the crosses from the right that came in toward Zac looked dangerous, but never reali reached him.

Things got heated up (AS ALWAYS) as zhi yang dribbled the ball over the erm. ahem. "line" and was blown back(by the ref..............'s whistle of cos) and appealed because the line wasnt clear. The whole MKFC team exploded somehow and no. 17 (woteva his name is) did most of the arguing like his life depended on the direction of the throw in or wether it was out or in and screamed his lungs out. Zhi yang brushed his protests aside but he got more agitated and looked like he would...(we were pplaying in a madhouse) ..wel the ref sorted things out.

MKFC depended alot on their long ball tactic but that backfired after a while as Sam got another brilliant cross in from a nice build up and Mitch came in and headed home.

2-1.

Now MOB had smelt blood (oh whr did i get tt) and looked to upturn the early lead from MK and grab a vital win to end their losing streak. But all this wasnt meant to be as a 3rd goal went in because of a sleeping defence as Marcus, who was maybe the best player in the MK side threaded a ball thru to Nicholas who put it past Min Jie.

3-1.

Halftime came and the teams trudged off to applause from the MK side. thank you..thank you. yea clap when ur winning eh.

halftime..

After halftime MK kicked off and lanched another long shot that Min jie dealt with very nicely. Desmond was stil irritating the MK defence as he weaved and dribbled his way around them but failed really to create any good goal scoring oppurtunities. The crosses from Zhi Yang's side were stil coming in, but they failed to reach Zac Loo.

Another goal scoring oppurtunity came for MOB as Mitch connected with a zhi yang corner but could only head wide. That got the madmen screaming.

MKFC were not winning the ball as much already in the 2nd half, and it looked like a change of formation in MOB had done the trick. The defence line was shuffled around as Mitch went up to lead the attack with Zac Loo while Desmond came in to Sam's left wing booth (ok tt sounds wrong) and Sam partnered Zac Cheam in central midfield. At the back, Irvin was moved more to the right while Jon and Raymond were now drafted in to hold the back line. Joel moved over to the left.

Injured Chua Yiming looked on from the sidelines as MOB struggled to come back against MKFC.

And they did, as Mitchell connected again with a lofted cross from Jon from a freekick outside the area, maybe 40 yards and Mitch put in the goal.

2-3.

MKFC imploded after the goal as their own teammates started screaming at each other. (tt never happened to us now..erm. did it?)

MKFC now looked weary but they were stil providing constant threats with the neverending energy of their strikers. Min Jie was forced into a brilliant punching save, putting his body on the line to push away a bouncing ball that the Fat Ass would have headed. (wuda gone out anyway)

The Fat ass was then booked for screaming out at Samuel after a slight collision.

Many cards came after that also, as Jon was booked for tripping the MK flanker. Wel, tts juz one. i cant rembr the rest though. but i knw mitch was also booked in the opening minutes.

Disaster befell or befalled or something MOB again as a penalty was conceded by Irvin after a soft challenge on the MK flanker. he somehow went down and a penalty was given the the ref. The guy-who-got-really-upset-over-a-throw-in took the penalty wich took a VERY VERY lucky bounce over Min Jie who had dived the right side but failed to predict the bounce of the ball. What a classsy penalty. The guy-who-got-really-upset-over-a-throw-in-and-scored-a-lucky-penalty was so happy with himself. lets give it up for him shall we. what a brilliant penalty from the World Class guy-who-got...bla bla bla. ok enuff of him geeziz christ he pissed me off orite.

2-4.

MOB started to get rough as Zac committed numerous fouls on Marcus but was let off numerous times. Frustration seemed to be setting in, but the play was still good as MOB played pretty offensive football. Desmond was STILL causing problems and panic at the back with his curvey wurvey dribbling that at least got the ball somewhere.

MOB then got a little lucky with another goal as Zac finally opened his account for MOB after popping a ball in toward Mitch who distracted the keeper, and the ball bounced nicely over his head and into goal. well, lets give zac the benefit of the doubt if he said he meant to do that. Finally a goal for Zac! but celebrations were muted as Mitch lay injured after smashing himself into the post and scraping his shin.

The importance of numerical equality of both teams surfaced again (wow. now whr'd i get that) as MK again scored as MOB were one man down, Mitch sitting out for a while to lick his wound. ergh yuck. But the MK player (i 4got his name pardon me) ran into the box to strike a corner wich evaded evry1 and went in.

That goal, virtually the last touch of the game killed off MOB.

3-5 (final)

Guys, seriously guys. We coulda won this game 3-2. Juz look at the shitty scrappy soft goals we conceded. The 1st one, ok, we'l blame it on the numerical disadvantage, but this excuse only serves to tel the other team their not as gd as they think they are. Its not their problem our players came late, furthermore we agreed to start with 9 men. So, ok, we were sleeping for the 1st goal.

2nd unlikely goal, the freekick. We gota do abit of training for Min Jie's jumping because the freekick was watched by Min jie, but it juz flew over him. With experience, that could haf been punched away.

3rd unlikely goal, the penalty. Well, this things happen in soccer. we'l take a bit of the blame of Irvin, as he genuinely wanted the ball, and got the ball. Whether the guy dived or not, tts not v impt. The ref was in a postn that said PENALTY, irvin tripped him from the back, its a penalty. and the way it went in its not as though the guy did a Zidane or something. Look at the shitty way he took it. wel he got really lucky i gues. hell. y arent we ever dis lucky. bastard.

I gues the fact that we tried and tried and tried to get back in the game but kept going down again after getting a goal back kinda disappointed us. But overall we put a fair fight. Im sure if we take em on again we'd win. Things wud be different. wel, i will arrange a 2nd leg. There, we'l show em how lucky they can get.

thanks for Desmond and Zac Loo for coming in for us, appreciate it. would reli be pleased if u guys could join us again.
