ARFC encountered the worst-ever referee in its 26-year playing history



Missing several key players, ARFC was whitewashed by Tres Dos 0-7 under extreme humid and hot weather.

As usual, ARFC was supported by Lingzhi, Ron’s beau. 

ARFC started with this line-up:

Jersey no.

After some courageous defending led by Ron, ARFC then conceded a goal which was scored by their right winger from an off-side position.

ARFC then conceded 3 more goals after a slew of substitutions due to the weather.

Chun Haw then tried to inspire a fight-back but his bullet-like shot cannoned off the cross-bar.  Unlucky!

Rashid, who was late, then found Guoxiong with an outside left footer.  Guoxiong showed Andrei Kanchelski-like flank play when he beat their left-back but his ball across goal was not picked up by anyone.

Sebastian then played a quick corner on the left to Blackburn which caught the opponents by surprise.  Looking up, Blackburn chipped a ball to the far right corner but it hit the stachion and bounced out.  Unlucky!

ARFC improved with several nice wall passes but could not find a break-through.  Chun Haw was especially menacing but could not grab a goal.

ARFC was not helped by the inept referee who seemed all out to go against ARFC with some really questioning decisions, culminated with a really bizarre penalty decision against ARFC which was converted by the opponents.

The referee then went on his personal quest to infuriate ARFC with yet more questionable and strange decisions.

The referee then continued his biased decisions against ARFC when Soon was clearly fouled but he closed both eyes. 

The match then ended with 0-7 score-line thanks in large part to the referee.
