Latest News & Tabloid Tales

Here, we bring u another edition of The Outsiders Times, YOUR only source of news for Mavericks FC and everything else associated with the club.


In the news....

• The clash between Mavericks FC and (insert) FC has been postponed due to inclement weather conditions by the SSC. Apparently, reports state that there were puddles of water on the pitch, and therefore the pitch was deemed to be unplayable.The new date for the match has yet to be decided but the FA has undergone discussions at a last-minute press conference held at the Stade de Sembawang reception room and has tentatively re-scheduled the match to the following Saturday, the 28th of June. To be confirmed again.

• Several sources cited that Referee Charles was apparently downcast at being the last person to know regarding the match's postponement. Match officials as well as the Mavericks board would like to apologise to the referee for the lapse in information. As a compensation, legendary Mavericks left-back Clement has left the country for the Lagos International Airport in Nigeria to pick-up some chicks and bring back some Jollof Rice and Chinchin for their favourite referee.

• Mavericks' explosive midfielder Chung Wei has won the Player of the Month award as well as the Goal of the Month award after putting in fine performances for all the 4 matches played this month. He garnered 2 assists and a goal; a superb thunderbolt which blasted into the roof of the net against Balooku FC, which also became the most viewed video on Youtube with a quarter of a million world-wide users who could not get enough of seeing the replays. Surely a contender for goal of the season.

• Fleet footed forwards Boon Kee and Fuad have announced their retirements from international duty and has decided to focus on their club football instead, following the footsteps of Paul Scholes, who retired from the England national team when he clearly had lots more to offer. Both forwards have stipulated the first and second weeks of June as their Official Retirement Date from their respective national teams.

• A recent fan poll held at an unofficial club website has revealed that the left-back position is the most competitive one at the club whereby several players have tried to oust Clement out from that position but failed. Players who have plied their trade in that most sought-after position include captain Chao Xing, reliable full back Randy, defence stalwart Jiun Wei, and most recently, right-back Chris who says that playing there "trains his left foot". However, reliable sources have cited that Seng Yew has been telling everyone that he is a "classy left-back". Looks like Clement's not going to be too happy when he comes back from Nigeria.

• There has been rumours circling in the tabloids regarding classy playmaker Boon Leng's limited appearances for the club in recent months. Apparently, sources have cited that the midfielder has handed in a transfer request, and looks set to be joining X-S FC, a club he has supported since he was a boy. However, the Mavericks board are trying their best to tie down a new contract as soon as possible in a bid to keep the player for at least another season.

• Anchorman Mike is another Mavericks player who has been missing in action and has yet to start a match in the new season. Apparently, the hordes of his fan-girls have been writing in to the Mavericks management and demanding that their idol is given a good run of games. However, on a recent issue of iWeekly magazine, paparazzis have snapped photos of the star player out partying in a club in China with some oriental chicks. The player could not be reached to comment on the article, but his agent has confirmed that the player was indeed in China, strictly for business purposes and nothing else.

• In response to the match-fixing scandal in the match against Balooku FC in which winger Amir was allegedly involved, the Mavericks board has decided to fine the player for 2 week's wages starting the first week of June. There was insufficient evidence to point out any deals involved, and therefore the player is given a lenient sentence. After the decision was made, he was quoted as saying, "I don't care. Just give me this week's iWeekly issue. You know who's on the cover rite?" Clearly, words from a relieved man.

• Midfield maestro Kee Siang could miss next week's match due to an ankle injury sustained in training. The midfielder has been an integral part of the Mavericks midfield and some of the Stade de Sembawang faithful has even written letters to show their support for their beloved player. However, one such letter from an aptly named, "NgoRocks" was the most touching:
  

"All the best in your recovery! I love the way you play! I love how the ball sticks to you as if it was your third testicle! I love you! You Rock!".

Heart-felt words, indeed.




That's all for this edition of The Outsiders Times.

After the away match against Balooku FC in which the Outsiders won in a scrappy 4-3 affair last week, the men in black are looking to extend their winning run to 3 games after a horrendous start to the season. After the unscheduled delay in the relaying of the pitch at the Stade de Sembawang last week, the team finally gets to play on home soil this Saturday against relatively unknown opponents (insert)FC. Little is known of their opposition for this weekend, but reliable sources cite that they are a relatively young team.

The Outsiders would be missing several key players this weekend, most notably, evergreen left-back Clement, hardworking midfielder Wei Jie, who starred in last week's victory, as well as influential playmaker Kee Siang. The Stade de Sembawang faithful hope that the services of the injured Kee Siang would not be sorely missed as they know that he defines to the Mavericks as Francesco Totti would to A.S. Roma. However, they will be boosted by the return to action of Chao Xing and fox-in-the-box striker Wei Long.


Player to Watch: Zhi Fei
Influential forward Zhi Fei capped off an outstanding display last weekend with a goal and an assist for his first match of the new season. He brings about another dimension to the Mavericks attack and the team obviously plays better when their star forward is in the side. His brilliant technique and vision from a deep position, coupled with his clinical finishes would certainly worry any opposition defences and the Stade de Sembawang faithful can look no further that the man to fire up his teammates this weekend. Expect another man-of-the-match winning performance from the Mavericks number 12 on Saturday.

Mavericks FC experienced a taste of African football at its best with a visit to the much famed Adugen-nehnehpuchi Stadium in Tampines in a tantalizing clash with Balooku Utd. The team was looking to build on their emphatic 4-0 win against the Orangees FC amidst a carnival-like atmosphere, filled with African chants and songs all around the stadium. The presence of former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho (who was believed to be keeping tabs on wing wizard Amir and midfield maestro Kee Siang Ngo) and his fellow Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo and former Mavericks FC player Jeremiah, gave the event a star-studded feel.

Staunch supporters cheered both teams on as Charles blew the whistle for kick-off. The tempo of the game started slowly as the Outsiders sought to play a more fluid passing game. The deadlock was broken within 5 minutes into the game. Pre-match rumours of Amir being involved in match-fixing scandals were squashed when the flamboyant winger took a pass from Zhi Fei, and without breaking a sweat or his stride, skillfully side-footed the ball into the net. Looking up into the stands, Mourinho was seen chatting up an African babe sitting next to him in the VIP stands, seemingly oblivious of what's happening on the pitch. But his trusty sidekick Jeremiah was seen jotting down some quick notes.

The game then carried on strangely, with the ball being played mostly on the right side of the pitch. Calvin showcased his skills with some penetrating runs down the right, combining well with Jerome for some beautiful linked up play. In the center, Seng Yew, Wei Jie and Chung Wei were involved in the gritty affair of winning the ball back and distributing it quickly to either Zhi Fei or Amir. And by now, the team was increasingly annoyed by Chris's hysterical laughter at the back. The right back just couldn't contain his joy at being deployed as left back so that he could train his left foot. But throughout the match, what the centerbacks observed, was him relying on his dominant right foot. But credit to him for putting up a commanding performance nonetheless.

The Balookutians were playing on the counterattack and relying on their illustrious midfield to thread the ball through to their forwards. But the backline of Mavericks FC stood firm, until..a Steven Gerrard inspired run by the Balooku forward found him one on one with Alex and his toe poke was enough to draw his team level in the 19th minute. With the score at 1-1 and Chris still high on ecstasy, the game carried on with Mavericks dominating possession in the opposition half. Then, Faizy's clearance found Amir, and with a stupendous touch on the outside of his left boot, he gleefully flicked the ball onto the path of who else, but Mr. Essien (Chung Wei). The on-charging pit bull and his tireless running was finally rewarded as his shot from a tight angle whistled into the roof of the net like a "ronaldo rocket". 2-1 to Mavericks.

The introduction of midfield magician Kee Siang was imminent as Seng Yew experienced what every Balooku player would likely experience in their training sessions - a Balooku. A clash of heads left the cultured midfielder with a swollen bump, while his assailant was unsurprising unharmed due to their rigorous training sessions. A pointer which Jeremiah would have surely noted down. Fleet footed Fuad and his friend also came on as substitutes and shortly after, Fuad's flick-on found the lurking Zhi Fei, who smashed the ball home after some shaky handling by the Balooku's keeper, whose jersey made him seem as though he came out straight from a 1990s Pepsi's commercial. So the eventful first-half ended 3-1 in favour of Mavericks.

The second period started with long balls being bombarded into the Maverick's half as Balooku seeked a more direct approach. Legendary centerback Clement, whose aim is to equal Ryan Giggs's record of 759 club appearances, cleared most balls directed towards him. And he even gave us a quick course on African folk dance, to the delight of the home fans, as at one point, he danced with the ball between him and his opponent in the middle of the park. Then, one such long ball from Balooku's impressive right back threw the game wide open as their forward flicked the ball into the net. Alex's excellent reflexes enabled him to make a magnificent save but alas, even lady luck couldn't keep the ball out. Score: 3-2

In the 79th minute, with Chris finally starting to settle into his left back role, he began a marauding run which found him in the far end of the pitch. He played a perfectly weighted pass to Jerome who calmly evaded a defender and thundered the ball into the net, giving the team an unassailable lead.

Yet, Balooku somehow got a penalty at the other end of the pitch as Clement was adjudged to have obstructed a Balookutian from getting to the loose ball which was like 5 feet away from them. Scenes from Thursday's Champions League Final flooded back into the players' memory as the Balookutian stepped up to take the spotkick. The referee went through the full motion of a penalty kick, perhaps because he was seriously.. damn bored la. Pre-match practice of penalty kicks gave Alex supreme confidence, as most of us tried to renacted the most memorable one that night, the slip and miss by Mr. Chelsea. However, the Balookutian no.14 calmly converted and this was followed by a 5 minute Didier Drogba typed celebration which the referee Charles joined in. This madness stopped only when Cristiano Ronaldo who came down from the VIP stands, signed on Charles's shirt and calm him down. To avoid being mobbed, Ronaldo was quickly escorted away. Jeremiah, who was also down to the field, took out a black marker pen too; desperate to find someone's jersey to sign on, but he was quickly mobbed by angry Africans for stepping onto the sacred grasslands of their Adugen-nehnehpuchi Stadium.

So the match ended 4-3 in a high scoring match which saw Mavericks winning and dominating possession. Probably the team could have killed off the game at 4-2 by parking Clement's Mitsubishi in front of Alex's goalpost.


Balooku's Man-Of-the-Match: Probably the right back. Oh. No. It should be their no.5, who provided the play of the game - a headbutt to Seng Yew, leaving him with an exclusive premium souvenir, the finest only reserved for the selected few, the trademark Balooku's Balooku - Quality assured, 3 days warranty.

Maverick's Man-Of-the-Match: Zhi Fei, making his comeback to the team showed what the team sorely missed in recent games. As a targetman, he provided a focal point to Maverick's attacks. And combined with his shooting prowess and dogged determination, he created an extra attacking option by providing a different dimension of play.

Comments: Midfield displays from Kee Siang and Amir were nothing short of world class, with them waltzing past defenders like they weren't there. With some teams in the Barclays Premier League, La Liga, Serie A proned to parking their team bus in front of their goal, Jose Mourinho would surely have taken note of how easily defences were sliced apart by the 2 midfielders' runs and through balls. Or has he?

Surely notes from his sidekicks are gibberish to him if he believes he is the only "Special One." Let us observe a minute of silence to mourn the unappreciated efforts of his note-takers, especially, (enthusiastically) I'm-as-great-as-Luis-Figo-because-I'm-Portuguese-too! Jeremiah.

Mavericks FC face a determined Balooku Utd this Saturday away from home as they look to add to their recent 4-0 drubbing of Orangees FC. The Outsiders were supposed to play at home for the upcoming clash but a last minute change in venue was made due to delays in the planned relaying of the pitch at the Stade de Sembawang. Past meetings between the two ended in victories in favour of the Outsiders, the most recent one, a 3-0 win away from home. The Balookutians face a race against time in their search for a goalkeeper after their previous custodian, aptly named "Beckham" was released on a free transfer.

The Outsiders, on the other hand, has no injury issues to take note of but they will be missing the services of reliable full-back Randy as he will be involved in the upcoming European Championships in Austria/Switzerland. Tenacious defender Jiun Wei will have to sit out the match as he will have to attend a wedding (his own wedding, actually) this coming weekend. Captain Chao Xing will also miss the match due to personal commitments. However, they will be boosted by the return to fitness of influential forward Zhi Fei.

In the build-up to Saturday's match, speculation was rife that Mavericks flamboyant winger Amir was seen having a rendezvous with several Balooku Utd officials and players at Vivo City. This would not come down good for the Mavericks board as several reports suggests that the player could be involved in a possible match-fixing agenda. The FA and the Mavericks Board of Directors will look into this issue and a pre-match press conference has been scheduled before the clash this Saturday to put the matter to rest. The winger has been an intergral part of the Mavericks midfield and this news would do a disservice to his team's preparations for the upcoming clash. The Mavericks no.14 could not be reached to comment on his rumoured involvement with their illustrious opponents.


Player to Watch: Wei Jie
Mavericks midfield man Wei Jie has been putting in assuring displays in the middle of the park . His hardworking track-backs as well as his ability to retain possession for the team in the tightest spaces has given his teammates an edge over their opponents, especially during spells of sustained pressure in the team's own half. His partnership with Seng Yew in the recent match over Orangees FC was one of the main reasons for their whirlwind victory. Coupled that with his trademark late runs into the box, he has added an extra dimension to the team's attack. Expect the diminutive central midfielder to play a pivotal role and the Maverick's no. 20 will no doubt give the Stade de Sembawang faithful something to cheer about this Saturday.

Mavericks Run Riot in Overdue Victory

Date: 17 May 2008

Location: Serangoon Sec
Kickoff: 3pm
Opponents: Orangees FC

Starting line-up: Alex, Clement, Chuan Ji, Jiun Wei, Chris, Seng Yew, Wei Jie, Faizy, Amir, Chao Xing, Chung Wei
Substitutes: Kee Siang, Fuad, Midzi, Tommy

FT Score: 4-0 (HT Score: 1-0)

A surprisingly subdued atmosphere at the Estádio do Serángoonã welcomed the Outsiders as the team strode onto the pitch from the tunnel. Maybe the extremely arid weather conditions had taken a toll on the Serángoonã faithful as their cheers did little to drown the spirits of the men in black. The Outsiders were looking for their first win of the season after dismal results in the opening 2 games and it was high time they get it right on the third try.

Mavericks FC were missing strikers Zhi Fei, Jerome and Wei Long and the hot pre-match lunch-time topic was that many had predicted a toothless display in front of goal by the men in black in a match they had to win to get their season back on track. Orangees FC weren't push-overs, and they got the ball rolling as they forayed into the Mavericks half in the opening minutes. However, the tides changed once the Mavericks midfield found their rhythm.

Mavericks played with a make-shift attack comprising of Chao Xing, and midfield dynamo Chung Wei playing in the hole behind him and this proved a handful for the Orangees defence, when supplied with the tentalizing runs of the wingers Amir and Faizy. Furthermore, the overlapping runs from full-backs Chris and Jiun Wei provided an extra outlet for the Mavericks to inflict their damage, and it was not long till they finally broke the deadlock.

A long free-kick from Jiun Wei into the box from the left was brought down by Amir and the Mavericks no.14 turned past his marker brilliantly in a split-second before blasting it home into the top-right corner of the net. A goal the team clearly deserved after a period of sustained pressure in the opponents half.

Seng Yew and Wei Jie did well in midfield for another counter attack as Amir was released down the left again, but his squared-ball missed the feet of Chao Xing as the ball bobbed along the goal-line before being cleared. Chris got a shot which sailed over the bar, but his enterprise down the right made him a certainty for the man of the match award alongside the speed demon Faizy. Mavericks loan signing Midzi made his presence felt as the Orangees did just enough to limit the scoreline to 1-0 to the Outsiders at half-time.

Second-half started off slowly after an explosive first-half which saw the Mavericks raining 10 shots on goal. The Mavericks defence was clearly having a good day, as they were rarely troubled except for a rather entertaining headed shot on the Mavericks goal by world-class centre-back Chuan Ji, only to be thwarted once again by the supreme reflexes of custodian Alex.

The team got their groove back, and veteran forward Fuad made it 2-0 with a sweet right-footed shot which was deflected by the keeper, only to see it trickle into the bottom corner of the net. That was his third goal for the club, and clearly after this performance, his current 15million pounds value would double. This was a goal that settled all nerves, and the team started stroking the ball with confidence around the pitch. Substitutes Tommy and Kee Siang combined well and nearly made it 3-0 after Tommy's shot went just inches wide. However, the Outsiders didn't have to wait long to make it 3-0 as Midzi got on the scoresheet with a great finish from six yards after being put through from another one of Amir's mazy dribbles from the left.

On the other end, the Orangees attack did trouble the defence a couple of times from the right, but Clement's intervention proved just enough. However, things went from bad to worse for the men in orange as they went a man down due to injury, after all their subs have been used up.
The Mavericks made full use of their numerical advantage and after great interplay from the Mavericks midfield, Chung Wei threaded in a superb through-ball to Faizy on the left who cut past the right-back before coolly slotting it in past the keeper with his left foot into the net.

However, the speed demon chose to celebrate his first goal for the club in a morbid and subdued fashion, leaving many home fans confused (was Orangees FC his previous club?) and his teammates troubled. Haha.Final Score 4-0.

Credit to the Orangees for giving their all and not giving up even though they were trailing and went a man down in the final 15 minutes of play. This was a classic team performance from the Mavericks, and they got their long-awaited clean sheet, something they clearly deserve countless of times, especially with Alex's safe hands in goal. Once the team found their footing and rhythm, it was no looking back. An overdue victory clearly-deserved.

2 losses in a row and not a great start to the season.
Even though the team played much better in the second half defeat at the Stade de Sembawang, a defeat is nevertheless a defeat. Although we lost, the team's passing was better, and at least we can take back a few positives from the game. It's time we get the season going and kick-start it with a victory this Saturday. Take note that the timing has been rescheduled to an earlier kick-off (2.30pm slot) to maximise TV ratings for the various television networks who have bought TV rights to broadcast the match live here in Asia. The Outsiders should expect a hostile atmosphere at the Estádio do Serángoonã from the home fans and if the team can overcome this psychological barrier, half the battle is won.

Expect an explosive match this Saturday.

Player to Watch: Kee Siang
The return to action of the midfield maestro is a huge lift for the Outsiders, having been beaten in both of their opening matches of the season. The Mavericks attacking midfielder has been courted by several clubs during the pre-season, but he chose to stay on with the Outsiders, after putting pen to paper in a new 3-year contract worth 2.8 million euros. His return to the heart of the Mavericks midfield will definitely kick-start the season for the Outsiders, provided he stays injury-free and girl-free. Expect him to light up the Estádio do Serángoonã this Saturday.

Defensive Lapses Cost Mavericks

Kickoff: 3pm
Opponents: The Reds

Starting line-up: Alex, Clement, Chuan Ji, Jiun Wei, Randy, Seng Yew, Wei Jie, Faizy, Jerome, Chao Xing, Wei Long

FT Score: 2-4 (HT Score: 1-3)
Goals: Jerome ('33), Wei Jie ('75)
Assists: Chung Wei, Jiun Wei
MOM: Wei Jie


Mavericks FC continue their dreadful start to the season, with a 2-4 defeat to a youthful Reds side, despite playing at home where they have previously made known as "Fortress Sembawang". This disappointing result followed the shock 0-1 defeat to Team Uncles, but at least there was a vastly improved attacking display put up by the Mavericks.

It was costly defensive errors that gave the Reds a flying 2-0 lead, on both occasions, their striker managing to sprint through a static defence, before applying neat finishes that regular custodian Alex could do nothing about.

Stunned by conceding two soft goals, midfield dynamo Chung Wei was introduced and he made an instant impact when he delivered a superb through ball to Jerome, who finished the move with a shot in off the keeper from close range.

However, another costly slip-up meant that the Reds take a 3-1 lead into half-time. This time, a Ricardo Carvalho-style back pass was intercepted by a lurking Red player, who ghosted past the defence and made no mistake with his finish.

The second half saw the hosts pressing hard to come back into the game, with midfield enforcer Wei Jie spraying a series of delightful passes for right winger Calvin to attack. The substitute ran the defence ragged with his sublime touches and penetrating runs. Chris also made an impact with his fantastic reading of the game from midfield, making several crucial interceptions and crunching tackles.

Against the run of play, Mavericks FC were further pegged back, when an unmarked Reds forward applied the finish from point-blank range, with the defence failing to clear their lines early.

Seemingly unaffected by conceding yet another goal, the home team continued to pile on the pressure. It finally paid off when right back Jiun Wei smashed a stunning free kick against the crossbar, with the ball falling kindly for Wei Jie to volley home.

The Mavericks continued to attack but there was to be no time for an amazing comeback, with the final score at 2-4.

But before they do that, they gotta get their fitness back to the peak where they ended last season on a high being unbeaten for 9 matches to the end against opponents like Skopet FC and Kawabunga FC.

One of the uncles comment after full-time whistle: wah, you all seem much slower than the last time we played you eh.. all like not running much.. (i guess this is really true!)

It's time to buck up and play the passing game where Team Uncles showed effectively. We shall see this saturday..
