How about we give a big round of applause to Persiwa’s ‘experienced
Pieter Rumaropen? As if Indonesian football hasn’t had enough to deal with in recent
years with, takes a deep breath, the LPI, two leagues, two national teams in
training, being humiliated 10-0 by miniscule Bahrain (there are larger unnamed
rocks in Indonesia than Bahrain), the tragic death of Diego Mendieta, Persibo’s
embarrassing performances in the AFC Cup plus general all around shoddy
incompetence we now have this gentleman running up behind the referee and
lamping him, from behind note, he hasn’t got the guts to go full frontal, leaving
the ref’s shirt full of claret.
Nothing much will happen. Persiwa are allowed to win
every single home game they play, I think it’s just one defeat in six years at
home?, so to have them complaining because a decision goes against the home
team is nothing short of farcical and hence totally appropriate in this
country. Match officials are often the target of irate away teams who are only
too happy when they are the hosts getting all the decisions.
Indonesia’s players’ union are only too happy to let
everyone know how much players are owed and they are quite right to do so. If they
don’t one else will but they also need to take action in an incident like this
that happens all too often. If the player is a member then take some bloody
action against him. Don’t do a Gordon Taylor and blindly support the player. The
actions of this former international have brought the game into disrepute and
we have seen over the years the governing body are too soft or just don’t care
to do anything.
There is also a need for the club to take action but they
won’t. Because nothing that happens here is about football. People who ru(i)n
the game here are not into football. They have their own agenda and that banner
that players follow on to the field, that FIFA fair Play one means jack shit in
their world view.
But FIFA recognizes things here are hunky dory so let’s
just carry on as normal. There is no shame, there is no embarrassment, just
more vitriol bouncing off a thick skinned, batik wearing, kretek puffing,
BlackBerry punching Neanderthal.
Rumours that Persiwa are interested in signing Liverpool’s
Luis Suarez?
1 – Persipura 15 11 4 0 33-4 37
2 – Arema 15 11 0 4 31-13 33
3 – Mitra Kukar 16 10 2 4 31-24 32

PSBK v Deltras 3-1 (George Mitchell, Basori, Dembele Siaka;

SLeague
Harimau Muda v Home United 0-1 (Lee Kwan Woo)
Warriors v Hougang United 4-2 (Shi Jiayi, Miislav
Karolgan 2, Erwin Gunawan; Mamadou Diallo, Azhar Sairudi)
Singapore football is changing. At Choa Chu Kang
yesterday Warriors needed three late goals to overcome plucky Hougang. Once
upon a time it would have been SAFFC v Sengkang Punggol. Another example of the
changing football scene. Neither Home nor Warriors are challenging for the
title at the moment; instead tonight sees 3rd place Albirex Niigata
take on Balestier Khalsa and 2nd place Tanjong Pagar hosted by
Geylang International.
