Semangat 50 sen - The 50 cents Spirit

In view of the recent news that was deemed to be a big announcement, fans have been united divided, brothers bickering and punters planning. With great powers comes great responsibilities or so they say but every decision has its own set of PROS and CONS. I shall give my 2 cents worth as a fan and my honest humble opinion.

As a fan
Who wouldn't welcome this move as there will be guaranteed strong emotional rivalries week in and week out. The SLeague will be a buzz with an SLeague team facing the Halimau Kuda at least once every week.

The boys playing in the MSL would gain hostile crowd exposure as every M-citizen "hates" S-citizens. Would playing the MSL improve our boys' standards? Only time will tell.

As a fan I would say this: 

I support a local team!
Local team!
Local team!
ISUPPORTALOCALTEAAMMM!"

Supporting local football does not mean that I support the Organization behind it. I support the effort and passion shown on the field by the boys that play their hearts out. What goes on behind the scenes, not my pasal problem. What the boys I adore do in their personal lives, its their lives not mine - judge the professional doing his profession with regards to his job scope and not going out with someone's wife then tell papers after kena hantam. 

My honest humble opinion
Like the PAPaya which does risk management and excellent foresight, I am sure that this had been "planned" properly and every single factor considered thoroughly. Is this a knee jerk attempt to get fans back by providing  a "win win" situation?  Zhun Bo win win?

Singgapolien are known to be fair weathered, its been proven
many thousands time. With this online Hooray we're back in the MLeague now, how many of them are true fans? Let's see how many will be left when the team starts loosing not doing well. First things first its the MSL now, no more MLeague, secondly what makes you think the MSL is better then the SLeague, thirdly when the BPL starts, lets see where you stand.

Mind all of you this would be an under 23 years old team with the options of upsize, change your drink to any 5 of the drinks provided and changing your fries to Twister fries. And please lah if you wanna tell these fair minded Singgapolien something, report properly leh.. You just want to create the buzz by telling people we're back and the team will be known as Singapore Lions. Singapore Lions is the National Team lehh.. Kum Lan!


I am not an expert nor the Pope who's opinions count. I am just a football fan that wants to cheer and be proud of my team. Football is a game with passion, its fans are also the same. I cheer cause of my beliefs and not because you forced me to. Time will tell if your really there for Singapore Soccer or not. And hence semangat 50 sen which means, your passion/enthusiasm only lasts for a while. In lay-man terms, your a pre-mature ejaculator who cant satisfy your woman cause you came before she climaxed.
