International Up!
Hovaness Noubaryan was a man with many things on his mind at the post-mortem, being clearly torn between hanging his worst offenders out to dry, and berating the admittedly inconsistent officiating. He settled for doing both.
"What can we do now?" he sighed, seeming lost for the first time since taking over from Djan Bacelar. "Moey and Mudaliar... I know they're behind us a hundred percent, but what they did was just
stupid. I can't really defend their actions."
"The referee had his part in this too, however. I thought we were supposed to be the home team here, but he was just refusing to pull the Ropelearner players up. Dioguardi was up to his old tricks again, I can't believe he missed them all!"
However it goes, the fact remains that -Blitz- officially won the title by beating Red Chaos, which leaves Grilled needing to see ArSenal U21 off - while hoping Ropelearner can do the same to newbies - for second place. FC Pires go down together with United Warrior Team as expected, after their 4-0 away defeat to newbies.
Farmer Bunnies did rather better against GoonSquad, ending up 5-0 winners with
Lau Chang Wan recording a brace. It was
Tham Leng Teck who caught the most attention, though, as he capped an all-action day at midfield with a stellar 68th minute goal, to add to his maiden national team strike against South Korea nine days ago.
Soon Soon barely broke a sweat against SingaporTrab, winning 10-0 to stay two points ahead, and it is difficult to see M4 United do any better in their current state.
Sikong Darong would not concede, however, and pledged maximum effort against Unium F.C just in case.
"A draw might be enough to secure second, after Unium's slip today, but that's not what we're after." the Bunnies head coach insisted. "Far stranger things have happened in football, and I daresay we'll all be M4 United fans next week!"
Grilled International had no such considerations remaining, as they confirmed both the VI.113 title, as well as promotion to the fifth division, with a 9-0 spanking of Real Hazard. The most shocking thing about that whitewash was probably
Micky bin Kadir's failure to score. This would be Micky's first duck egg in nine matches, though he still maintains a four goal lead over Marian Chivulescu in the race for the Golden Boot, having reached twenty the week before.
This was probably the last thing on the squad's - and Micky's - mind as they bust out the champagne, however, and invited Real Hazard to join in.
