REDEFINITION FOR YOUNG LIONS - A MUST
Years apart, both Firdaus Kassim, the current national U22 coach, and Michel Sablon, the former Football Association of Singapore (FAS) technical director, used statistics to highlight their case for the Young Lions.
If the developmental squad is to stay for the long haul, its purpose and role need a redefinition to remain relevant in Singapore football.

BEGINNING OF A NEW COMPILATION
I have long been hesitant to compile this forgotten piece of local football history.
However, the recent passing of Coach D. Tokijan made me alter my thinking; I decided to finally begin this compilation.
I hope that by completing this project will encourage more people to share their own stories, rather than relying solely on old newspaper articles.

ICYMI - KYOGA & IZWAN SWAPPING PLACES @ MATTAR RD
The loan of Izwan Mahbud (behind) to the Young Lions and the recruitment of Kyoga Nakamura (front) by the Lion City Sailors are arguably the biggest shocks of the current transfer window.
Especially when the Sailors are going to face BG Tampines Rovers (Kyoga's former club) in this coming Saturday's (10/1) Singapore Cup Final.

A FORGETTABLE CUP FINAL ...
It was a damp squib of an affair as both Lion City Sailors and BG Tampines Rovers failed to deliver a match worthy of a Cup Final.
The overcautious approach by two of the biggest clubs in local football resulted in an ordeal that the fans simply had to endure.

I still cannot believe this was the kind of football we saw at JBS earlier.
Everything was in place for the match everyone had been looking forward to, yet the quality shown was poor.
The lack of dynamism in the final third at both ends made it a pain to watch. Dragging the match into extra time felt unnecessary; it could have been avoided if both the Sailors and the Stags had been more aggressive in attack.
