My friend was half kicking herself for not being in SG for the probably biggest highlight of the local soccer scene in a long while. While waiting for our turns at the salon for a good hairwash plus massage in downtown Jakarta, she was on the line making expensive overseas calls, giving out her press contacts when she could have been there for the scoop for herself.
For me, I was amused when I heard the news on the way to the airport (shit, I is evil I know. But there has nothing been so interesting since a long while in the Singapore sports scene!). How it took 5 mins, a long time in Brawl-ly-wood, to get both sides off the pitch. How the poor Young Lions manager was kicked by you-know-who while trying to break the fights in vain.
By the look of this video, I say the umpire totally failed in his duty to send off those thugish players before things got too ugly. Send one off to set an example, instead of letting temper rise. I was quite impressed though how fast the Beijing club send in their management to issue an apology.
But oh my..it still was interesting :p
