The fun of football, anyone?

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone is still playing football anywhere, of course with players our age.  The fun is not only during the game but also after the game when we sit down to debrief and talk about the good shots, good save, etc.   I am sure many of you can recall the heroes of footbal during our time, like Mohtar Dahari, SohChin Aun , Santoh Singh,  Spiderman (goalkeeper), Mohd Nor, etc.  Someone just told me I looked the Kuah Kim Song, that is why the recolletion.  But just for old time talk, did played quite a bit of football  in the 70s and it is a good way to keep fit and have fun too. 

Also was on the way home in the evening and I noticed quite a number of football matches going on everywhere.  So was thinking is that is why there is so few man in SHC could more of them still be playing football.  Any of your husbands still playing football, can we meet or join them ?

  1. Poor thing, no one sems to care abt this global craze that takes the world by storm but hardly a whimper in SHC for anyone to give it 2 hoots…..But no worry, you hv tim here and he wont let you write and read it yrself.

    You like the greats living to the north of the causeway, naming a few and ignoring all our own stars. You Perakan or Peranakan? Or berak pun makan?

    So you feel complimented to look like Kuah Kim Song aka lau ah kuah? For the moment you’re not degenerating into that condition yet which means that you must continue to keep compay with the right folks. Buy me a drink and so having me with you will stop yr biological clock ticking away.

    Quah Kim Song comes from the famous Quah family – KBeng, KSwee, KSiak, KLye, even KTiong, their nephew. None had big money to play for in those days but they kept going for the love of the sport and for the pride to don national colors. And no ERP to make them think twice abt travelling.

    I am still game with balls and wont mind if a mixed match is played even if it turns out to be a mis-match.

    So gals, if you too are game, you hv 2 guys who are prepared to play ball with you so do pls dig deep into what you have. Like Terence says all the time, raise yr hands if you hv what it takes to play ball. Trust me, you will swoon………and it’s addictive.

  2. Tim, Tim you poor thing, if you love it, you love it and if you have it, you have it.
    Dont worry if you cant do it, very soon all of us too will have to admit, then we can all join the Kuah family and wear the kilt.
    It is good to clean after your shit, even if you have to swallow your own shit else others have to do it.
    But why do you go around stirring other people’s shit, and loving every bit of it, not realising you are smucking it.

    Also I mean real football and at our age, we have to watch it, not to get hit, any injury means losing more that just a $ bit.

    So i guess you feel safer playing your pocket balls or the boss’ balls, it is ok as long you enjoy it. To each his own.

    But nowadays ladies also do play real football, but thanks anyway I know where to play the right ball. Cheers

  3. Hi Guys,

    Since Tim is well known for his fetish for balls I would like to join in the fun and make it a soccer orgy…anyway it’s safe as all guys…no unplanned result!Since Tim is well known for his fondness for balls let’s make him a goalkeeper that he can catch all the balls he wants.He can catch mine(shots that is…not balls)when I take penalty kicks but must remember to shave before the game and put on eau de cologne.If not the muck and crassness that you guys churn out on the forum makes me queasy.I guess if I can’t stop them than I am now joining them.Tim sometimes I think you get away with murder with all your colourful language
    and close to bordering on profanity and vulgarity(disguised with ???) and outright scandalous as well!

    I hope you guys are amused and also bemused by this piece
    especially Tim(he’s a big boy…he can take care of himself).

    On the soccer side I am not a Quah but I can make a Quack coach.My position is left back as I probably can last only 5 minutes(can’t run up and down) due to poor fitness.I will probably eject myself from the pitch after 5-10 mins or will get ejected by the team captain..Good only to pick up pails of water for you guys and for stationary jobs ( not BJ )like penalty kicks ,indirect free kicks , free kicks, corner kicks and throw ins.

    Mama mia I have a request if this project takes off …can you guys play only on one half of the field with only one goalkeeper.An open challenge for the ladies…Can 6 guys beat 11 ladies…losers buy drinks.Win or loose I will be on cloud 9 just dreaming about being tackled by the lovely SHC ladies.

    P.S.I hope Terence and poor Tim(on the receiving end for a change) both give me an orange(boh pah kay…Chinese for not counted) card and not a yellow card and appreciate the humour in this piece.Ready for humorous (at my expense)return fire (deserve it due masochist tendencies)with Protective gear like french hat(do I need a crash helmet?),lower guard protection and maybe gloves(for vacant goalkeeping position since I cant run) and extra life insurance..For the goody two shoes serious people out there please treat this posting with a big pinch of salt with no agenda but my pathetic feeble attempt at wry (?)dry wiry humour

  4. OH dear I love the game. I remember I first played it when I was 9 or 10. I could not pronounce the name properly and my Teochew classmate’s mother used to pull my ear for that. Thank goodness they changed the name from football to soccer.

    On a more serious note – LASCIVIOUS, lewd and lustful statements never fail to attract attention. Mocking at our body parts is intended to make people laugh. However, there is only a thin veil separating a hidden expression and a hideous expletive. The former makes us giggle and hasten to share the joke with others. The latter simply makes us puke.

    So, if you are not able to camouflage your swill in a manner that is palatable to the audience at large, then it is best you ingest it privately, with some like-minded friends perhaps.

  5. Ron-W, you wrote “…if you love it, you love it and if you have it, you have it….” Something must hv gone very wrong with you to state what’s so obvious? Yes, you do look a little little bit like QUAH Kim Song but then you actually associated yourself with ah KUAH Kim Song, and he’s really no song to sing aloud. Hence I wrote what I said and said what I wrote and becoming a bit like you to state the obvious without however the desire to look like ah Kuah.

    “It is good to clean after your shit, even if you have to swallow your own shit else others have to do it.” Alright, we read your pledge of responsibility and would only believe you if we get to see you do it.

    “So i guess you feel safer playing your pocket balls or the boss’ balls, it is ok as long you enjoy it. To each his own”. You’re really gifted – yes i remember you calling yourself “allrounder” and balls are round….hmmm…..so tat makes you obsessed with playing balls?

    Cheers? Yeah, the giufted you are deserving of cheers.

    Dan-C, I read you standing where I am, yeah?
