Red Giants No Blusher
Let me start this post by thanking Dino, who was there in the crowd with me – who spent RM29 to buy Selangor jersey few minutes before the kick-off. I was surprised to have a man born in Sarikei to do such feat, and he told me he did the same thing when he visited Stadium Alor Star. Hats off to you man.

The crowd has nothing to be compared when Malaysia took on Chelsea at Shah Alam. It was an easy ride along Federal Highway, and I got to park just a stone throw away from the ticket booth. Maybe to buy ‘The Dark Knight’ ticket would take longer time and que than last night’s match.

Just look at how cool the face I pulled while queuing with not much pressure mounted.

Final score, Selangor won 2-0 in what would have been an easy 5-0 run out.

Safee Sali had the worst jeer, albeit scoring the first goal for Red Giants. It should have been a hat trick for him, save for his two clear chances in front of the goal went begging.

With Shukor Adan being Shukor Adan, the central department was clumsy and hopeless. I just hope he will sign-out and work as a Char Koay Teow seller instead.

And we were lucky to have Evans Chisulo as the spine of the defence to deny Johor FC’s well executed yet lacked finishing moves of attack. No doubt, my man of the match.

Two goals is a fine deficit as Johor FC is monstrous in Pasir Gudang – when they thrashed Khairy Jamaluddin’s UPB MyTeam 5-1 before coming to Shah Alam. I just hope they will keep up the momentum, as the dream final is looking good to be true, as Kedah easily went the first hurdle by beating Terengganu 3-0.

Good luck in Pasir Gudang, lads.

Ah yes, thanks to Frank Seator for goals, Elie Aiboy for dazzling runs and crosses and Evans Chisulo for iron grip guards all this while. We will miss you guys just like how we miss Chris Kiwomya, David Mitchell, Mehmet Durakovic, Bambang Pamungkas and Brian Fuentes. You guys are no casualties but a living legend for us in Shah Alam. Thank you, awang import.

Bukit Jalil, here we come.

P.S. Khairy Jamaluddin just accepted my Facebook friend request. Boleh lah aku main poke-poke dengan dia.
