First Match

Hey guys,

Do take note that our first match on 29th December has been postponed to 3rd January. Timing has yet to be confirmed. However do try the day free.

Thank you

Hi Guys,
Kennard here.. Allow me to say something that's been on my mind for quite a period of time..

Attendences and committments suck.. I understand the rigorous schedules which is unique to everyone, as such, everyone is entitled to their own priorities.. However, take some time to think about the welfare of the team.. It's unhealthy to continue practising such irresponsibility towards training sessions.. It's beginning to piss me off.. The reasons you guys give for the inability to commit to trainings are personally, ridiculous and ludicris.. Being injured and wanting to rest is one, having a game prior to training is another, tired, not enough sleep, having other events.. When you guys provide some reasons for your absence, do think about the fact that I have a busy schedule as well, having to juggle research, IVP soccer, IH, family, gf, friends and training you guys.. At the same time, i'm also suffering from ankle ligament damage..
At the same time, if there are 10 + of people out there who are able to make it for trainings, I don't see why some of you can't.. I'm also tired, burnt out and having insufficient sleep, so you aren't the only person on the boat..
The first game is on next wednesday, against hall 2.. Everyone knows how difficult this game will be.. I'm returning from malaysia early just to make it for the game and at the same time, sacrificing my position and place in the IVP team to ensure this hall meets our target of hitting the quarter-finals.. I don't mean to brag, but hall soccer means so much to me as well..

The bottom line is, we have a genuine lack of quality and quantity during training sessions, training with 10 + is never enough, we don't even have sufficient to play a 2 sided game, and if you guys are to continue your 'behaviour', then you won't only be letting me down, you'll be letting your team-mates, and the hall down..

If you guys don't give a shit about hall 13 soccer and subscribe to my views, then i'll gladly refund the $30 to you, after all, there're others who have not yet applied for their preferred number on the jerseys..

It's just what came to my mind after seeing the dismal attendence on thurs, sat and sun.. I'm still friendly and hopefully, a nice guy..

So hopefully, I'll see all of you guys for training tomorrow and on thurs.. Thanks..

FUTSAL

Hey guys we will be playing futsal tomorrow, 4th November 2009, from 4 to 6pm at the NIE handball court. Do come down and join us. Be there or be squared...

Jersey Numbers..

Hi guys, pls post your first 3 choices of numbers and your size (e.g 1st: 14, 2nd: 4, 3rd, 5).. Priority will be given to edmund and graduating seniors.. At the same time, i'll try to get some samples from suppliers.. Thanks..

As training comes to a close for the exams, pls do keep up your fitness levels and at the same time, study hard! =)

Pls still refer to the blog for updates..

IH groupings and Jerseys

Groupings for IH..
Hall 13, 2, 15 and 9..
That's if i'm not wrong..
Games will be played from the 3rd week of dec onwards.. So keep yourselves free during that period of time..
The road's going to be tough.. BUT manageable..

Anyways, i need to know if you guys are for or against getting a jersey for the games this year, just specially for soccer.. I'll find out how to create a poll and get back to you guys.. And don't worry about the budget first.. We'll see if we're FOR the jersey first..

See you guys sat!

Sat Training and Updates..

Hi guys,

there'll be one final session before we break for the exams.. It'll be on this sat morn, do try as best to make it..

Time: 830 at the amphi..
Area: We'll try to sneak into the SRC field, if not, same place as last sat, the field beside hall 10/11/grad hall..
Bring: Water, WAter, WATer, WATEr, WATER!

Pls do wear long socks to training, at least respect the fact that you're playing field soccer..

Those with injuries/injury prone, pls go get respective guards.. No point injuring yourself further..

Those who have NOT came for sessions before or haven't been very active, pls do try to make it a point to come down.. Hope to see 20+ ppl training instead of just 10+.. The more the merrier, the more, the increase in intensity/training effectiveness/efficiency..

Lastly, all IVP soccer players are banned from IH.. As such, i think we have an increased opportunity to do well this year, hitting at least the quarters, and depending on how results go, even to the finals.. Remember, we're seeded this year due to the results we achieved last year.. So do try your best to train hard and play hard, most importantly, ensure you've studied hard beforehand! Till sat, pls do post your avaliability in the comments section.. Thanks! =) Mug ppl! Exams are coming..

Btw, did anyone count the no of beach balls thrown onto the field during the liverpool a.k.a liverpoo a.k.a liverfool vs. (man utd + referee) match last sun? If you did count and get the correct no, i'll treat you to lunch!

Hey guys,

There will be a training this saturday from 9am to 12pm.
It will be held in school near Hall 10 and 11.
Things to bring: - boots
- long socks
- sufficient water

We will meet at the amphitheatre at 8.30 am.

Please leave a comment on the post on your availability
Thanks:)

On a more serious note..

Guys, there's been a mini hoo-haa with respect to why training was cancelled so late on fri.. This blog, as mentioned numerous times by me, is a source of garnering attendence levels for training.. As such, pls DO post your avaliability even if you have personally msg-ed edmund or told anyone else.. If the situation arises whereby there's a breakdown in communication between any source, at least i can refer to the blog for updates.. So while you guys curse and swear at me for the late cancellation, pls do ask yourself regarding your PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY in updating.. Hopefully, this will be the final time i have to repeat the existence/purpose of the blog..
Secondly, ask among yourselves whether you want hall soccer to do well this year, and decide amongst yourselves.. From training attendences and effort put in, i can safely say, we are not doing well, we aren't even TRAINING well.. Oct is coming to an end in a couple of weeks, and i do not think we're at the level to start on tactics and 11 a-side.. Some of you may think you're very good players (i shall not mention names) and may think you're guanranteed a strating spot, but look at your performance levels, do you really think you're up to the mark to get hall 13 into the finals? If, as a collective group, you guys reach upon a decision to just have fun and build up team spirit as the aim of this year's IH soccer, then i'll let edmund take over.. After all, there's no point tiring myself out further after a hectic week.. However, if you guys decide that you want to reach the benchmark set previously, then it's time to take trainings seriously.. Go improve your fitness and ball work off the field, go to the gym during your free time.. Schedule your time such that you'll be able to attend trainings.. Hard work has to be put in to reach the heights of last year.. So take this week to go think about how you want this year's IH to fare, come to an agreement, then feedback to edmund.. I've had enough sacrificing my time and energy just to see you guys waste it during the 2 hours we have..

A sad day for football as the greatest club in history lost after a balloon scored the winning goal.

Today we mourn.

Training cancelled.. Sorry for the late post.. Have a gd long weekend..
