This was written 3 weeks back and posted on a footbaLLing website ..

"After Last week's unfortunate canceLLation of the game against the Gogooryos due to foreseen yet unotified circumstance (pitch was under renovation), The Greats were Looking forward to this match in pretty much enthusiasm. ALas, juz as most of the pLayers have made their way down to Canberra Secondary, an eLeventh hour sms came to aLL that the pitch has been switched to a further yet inaccessibLe venue in the west.

Two straight weeks of administrative errors by the E***** Management has caused more than juz incovenience for most Greats pLayers but aLso in monetary terms as many had to haiL cabs to the unknown venue in Choa Chu Kang. E*****'s reputation for being an outstanding Amatuer League organisation has grown significantLy through the years and we hope the management can rectify these probLems in due time.

NevertheLess, the game got off at haLf past 11 with the Greats pLaying against a handicap of ten Gogooryos. The Korean-based team proved that their nationaL team did not reach the semi-finaLs of the WorLd Cup back then for nothing. Even with ten men, they terrified the Greats defence with some chances, forcing an unforgettabLe top cLass save from stand-in goaLie, Xingwen, tipping the goaL bound shot at fuLL stretch over the bar. However the deadLock was not broken as the whistLe bLows for a cLose to a poor haLftime.

After a teamtaLk by boss WiLLiam, who has juz ceLebrated his birthday, the team came out giving a much acceptabLe performance, and they got their reward for the improvement in game pLay when Kenneth (giving his 100% focus to footbaLL now) headed the baLL into the roof of the net which he cLaimed even Petre Cech wiLL not have been abLe to save.

With some pressure off now, the boss decided to hand winger Number 7 his second chance in this game and onLy his second game since his return from Taiwan. The change brought aLmost immediateLy a second goaL when Eddy ran into the Korean defence and reLeased Number 7 in the penaLty area in which he cut past the defence and buried the baLL into the back of the net. The Greats boss made changes again and sLotted Leon into Leftback and puLLed Eugene back into the centre, not becoz Eugene is Lost at Leftback (he is aLways Lost wherever you put). This change sees the reunion of a Left-side partnership of the younger days of Leon and Long, and that Legendary partnership created a beautifuL passes between the two and made a great chance for Greats to add to the Koreans' woes, but the ever-consistent Guofeng baLLooned his shot over the bar.

However, he made amends for this miss with his Lamborghini-Like engine, running down the right fLank past one, two defenders and pLacing his shot into the Left bottom of the net. IronicaLLy, the two who got pranked and drank cattLe's bLood the night before, they scored. Thus, we can come to a concLusion that cow's bLood is good for footbaLL. The Greats enjoyed good possession and as the defence worked damn hard, if not for Guo Ann, Kaichun and Zhanrong guiLty of missed chances and disaLLowed goaL, the Greats couLd have won by a bigger margin.

FuLLtime score 3 - 0 ..

P.S : The three goaLs are sincereLy dedicated by the scorers to our beLoved boss Mr. WiLLiam for his 31st birthday ..

TiL then, see you again."

SeriousLy, I do not understand watz wrong with me in writing the paragraph (in boLd). Itz so degrading that that portion is removed because the management of that particuLar soccer League organisation feLt that wat I wrote was offensive.

Wat is freedom if we cannot express our thoughts or facts? Wat is an open society if estabLished organisations are unabLe to handLe facts which they think is best to keep out from the worLd?

Behind many successfuL organisations Lie LoophoLes. Itz juz Like beauty queens who have done weLL to hide their ungLam side out of the LimeLight.

The beautifuL worLd is wonderfuLLy fiLLed with Lots of inperfection not on the surface.
