ARFC suffers heaviest defeat since formation

In the past match in 2009, ARFC suffered its heaviest defeat since its formation in 1991 by going down 0-7 against Foresight Utd at Tampines SAFRA. Witnessing this heart-wrenching defeat were Elvis’ beau Anna and Lingzhi and kids, family of Ron.

ARFC started with this line-up:

Keeper: Guest keeper Weili
Right-back: Influential Sebastian
Sweeper: Astute-reading Elvis
Stopper: Towering Toh
Left-back: Unbeatable Darren
Right-mid: Talisman Derrick
Centre-mid: Hardworking Tong
Centre-mid: Dynamic Soon
Left-mid: Sublime Khim
Striker: Powerful Alvin
Striker: ARFC Scoring Legend Haron

Subs (both late):

Unpredictable Blackburn
Combative Ron
Two guest players called by Kelvin Wong Weng Tuck

ARFC was 0-3 at half-time after 2 clearly off-side goals were allowed by the referee.

Soon also hit the bar after some great work by Haron and Derrick.

In another unfortunate incident, Alvin delivered a world-class corner from the left that caused mayhem to the opposing keeper and defence. Unluckily, Toh's header amidst the seas of players was clawed off the line by them.

ARFC looked to get back into the match in the 2nd half. However, a very lucky goal by them seemed to puncture ARFC. Why I said lucky? Because the shot was taken from a very acute angle on the right flank (think the acute angle is less than 7 degrees).

ARFC then conceded 3 more goals to lose 0-7.

This was a match when everything seemed to go right for the opponents, and nothing goes right for ARFC. Almost all their shots on target ended up in the net!! ARFC warriors gave their all in the match but was severely hampered by niggling knocks suffered by Sebastian, Alvin and Derrick in the previous match on Saturday.

Just for information, ARFC had drew with the same opponents 4-4 on 07 October 2008, after leading 4-2 at one stage. The opponents only equalized in the last few minutes after ARFC tired out then.

ARFC’s cause was not helped by one of the guest players from Kelvin Wong Weng Tuck. This guest player, who contributed nothing at all to ARFC, even had the audacity to scold our well-loved sweeper Elvis “FUCK” in the match which was only heard by Sebastian who was nearby.
As Sebastian does not think any guest player is qualified enough to abuse any of the ARFC warriors, the guest player was promptly “sent off” by Sebastian.

The guest player was lucky that Elvis or other ARFC warriors did not hear that or else he would surely be hammered, or Elvis would personally “sit on him”, or Derrick would chase him with a flag-pole……..
