Chelsea robbed!

It has been confirmed. Mas Selamat is indeed in Malaysian custody. I just hope he hasn't had the opportunity to regroup his JI cell. Regardless, this is excellent news for both Singapore and Asia. It will be interesting to know how he got to Malaysia. Did anyone assist him? My guess is that he took a boat ride to Malaysia. Only time will tell...

Enough about Mas Selamat. Let's talk about the Chelsea-Barcelona match. Everyone knows that I talk shit about Chelsea all the time. Mostly because my wife supports them. Heh! Seriously man, Chelsea was robbed! This referee, Tom Henning Ovrebo, has to be the worse that I've seen in a long time. Chelsea played an outstanding game and for them to bow out of the Champions League because of a lousy referee, must suck for the players and fans.

Soccer is an emotional game. Ever player plays to win. No matter what happens on the field, you'd want to walk away the winner. I used to go ballistic on the field. I would scream and swear at my defenders from start to end, hassle the referee at every given oppurtunity, etc... And yeah, we/I fought on the field. All but once did I get the red card thanks to a mass brawl.

Were the Chelsea players playing like sore losers? Hell no! They reacted like men who were clearly robbed of a victory. To me, there's nothing wrong in that. Not once did any of them assault the ref (though I think Drogba was close to giving him an Ivorian beating of a lifetime). Would I want my son to have the same passion for the sport? Certainly folks!

Me need food! Me need food! I'm craving for some good old bak kut teh! I'm heading across to my second favourite stall. Keep on smiling and have a smashing friday. Later folks!
