FIGHT FOR A SPOT IN JUNE

Hopefully, the recent performances of the Singapore national team under Coach Tsutomu Ogura can ignite a healthy competition for places in the Lions' squad among the eligible players for the games in June against South Korea and Thailand.

BREAKING - NO POINT RUSHING AND GET BACKFIRED, RIGHT?

It is the right move. No point rushing and ended up having a new side barely enough time to get ready for the season which is merely weeks away.

RIP ALAN WONG (FMR GOMBAK UTD TEAM MANAGER)

Former Gombak United team manager Alan Wong (file picture, as credited) passed away on 13/4/24, aged 59.

Wong was instrumental in steering the Bulls to make their S.League debut in 1998 - the same year saw him clinched the "Manager of The Year" award.

He resigned from the mentioned position the following year to concentrate his role as team manager of NFL (National Football League) side Redhill Rangers, a role he held concurrently with the one at Gombak United until October 1999 when the two entities went separate ways (Redhill Rangers successfully applied to join the S.League, leading to their renaming as Gombak United. However, they continued to exist in the lower-tier NFL under the same name).

#bftp9m - VENGA RELAXING AT THE BACK

In a slightly reclined posture in the background, former Woodlands Wellington general manager R Vengadasalam, popularly known as "Venga" in the fraternity, focused his attention on Krishna Ramachandra, one of the speakers at "Ideas For Change" - a gathering initiated by the current Football Association of Singapore (FAS) president Bernard Tan in February 2017, similar to a TED talk.

Krishna served as chairman of Singapore Premier League (SPL) club Tampines Rovers from November 2015 to August 2017, during which he was part of "Game Changers" - one of the two contesting groups in the 2017 FAS elections.

Meanwhile, Venga continued his involvement in the scene with Woodlands Lions FC, a club he founded and has presided over since its inception in 2018.

NOT THE TYPE OF ACL WE WANT, RIGHT?

With more Singapore Premier League games to be played on plastic fields at both Jalan Besar Stadium (JBS) and Jurong East, could it increase the likelihood of injuries like the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)?

#bftp9am - STANGE STARE

The former Singapore national coach, Bernd Stange, is seen in this undated photograph, looking at a reporter during a media session.

The German coach arrived with an impressive resume, having previously managed the national teams of East Germany and Iraq.

Despite his good intentions, he paid the price for hastily implementing changes that he believed were necessary.
