vortex falls Sunday, September 03, 2006

Sure. Vortex has fallen short of its ideals.
Sure. We did not win as often as we should have.

Damn pissed at somebody's post about me and vortex FC.

Yes, I have missed many a match and many a vortex 'training' session but NEVER have I missed one on purpose. All the matches i missed, i have reasons, i was sick, or injured or disallowed by parents. IF SOMEPPL think that i should attack my parents and fight my way out of the door to play in a soccer game or give up on more important priorities such as studying for soccer then i'm sorry, i'm not prepared for that. I am proud of my 6 A1's which show something much more than SOMEPPL who played football the whole day and end up in some 'GREAT' JC. If SMSing countless SMSs to people BEGGING them to come only to recieve a few replies and calling those who did not and listening countless times to mobile operators and spending my ENTIRE mobile plan organising these things are not enough, then i am sorry to say i am not good enough you should have left me out in the beginning. IF my efforts, MY EFFORTS to establish this team, giving them my everything, just to recieve negative comments from SOMEBODY should be critisized, then i'm sorry i quit. If wearing the red and white jersey with pride to every footballing session anywhere and praising everyone of the players when people asked and blaming myself for every game lost, every missed save, every mispass, every bad tackle, every decision and not blaming anyone else is still not good enough, then i seriously dunno what is. Lastly, IF I am to be critisized, let the person who critisize me by someone who have done more or at least the same to the team, not some HYPOCRITE who did not do a shit but call reuben his slave.

To that person: You want to know why I ,reuben, zhou and all the choir ppl do not want to go AHS kick anymore? It is because of you. No one, NO ONE, likes to be YELLED around like a dog, not even reuben. And i am sick and tired of it. Everytime going there full of hope just to see a few people. Sure, i praise ppl like TTW, Bryan and CYC for their commitment and i deeply regret and apologise for letting them down. average attendance, 5-6? mayb 8 or 9 on a better day? when i sent more than 16smses everytime to 15-16 different people. Just ask Reuben and zhou, when did they last enjoy football more than last week, when all of us played at VS. Sorry, vortex, i have let you down. I am now a Forca member, and now, everytime i call 9 people. 9 people replies me and 20 including the hostel stayers come ON TIME. Dun believe me? go VS and see for yourself. You think you have done alot, please, i do not want to argue a person who was so 'COMMITTED' to setting up the club just to jump ship on the first opportunity. and where is your best mate Boon whom you ask to join the team? how many time has he came.

Let me clarify somethings, vortex was set up as a 'people's club'. One where anyone can join and give their best. At the beginning when we are known as Manhope was good, when people are committed. Then came the 4L and 4G members, i am sorry to say that i have been greatly dissapointed by many of you, most of you for that matter. But i blame no one but myself. I blame myself for not letting you develop the commitment of some members, and i blame myself for not instilling discipline and pride into the team. For that, i am truly sorry.

The true reason why vortex fell? we were never a team. Just factions of players playing together cos none of us have enough ppl to form a team. Sorry for critisizing you guys. We had some pretty great time. But this is very much the fact. The very unstable foundations on which we tried to build the team. And if anyone has the right to critisize, it will be me, who is now critisizing everyone for the first time, not some HYPOCRITE totally UNRELATED to the team.

THE DRAGON OF VORTEX HAS NEVER FELL, IT SIMPLY JUST NEVER ROSE.

If all my efforts are to be critisized like this without a worth, then sorry, i will never don the red and white jersey of vortex again.

THE CLARET AND BLUE
