Match organiser extraordinaire Edman managed to get us a game versus Arsenal HK Supporters last Tuesday and we almost managed to emulate the great Ar5en1l semi-final. Instead, we had to settle for a 3-1 scoreline, unfortunately missing Gazza-esque freekicks.
For those of you that missed it, we’ve got not one but TWO reports courtesy of ETP and BennyCat along with numerous videos. Simply check out the links below.
This Friday, 4th April, your favourite SIHK will play J-Ring FC at Happy Valley Racecourse Recreation Ground. We’ll be playing on pitch 6 which is the 11-a-side astroturf pitch and the kick-off is at 4:30pm.

Tomorrow we will play ‘Parents Team’ at Kwong Fuk Football Ground in Tai Po.
On Easter Monday, 24th March, we will play in a three team Invitational Cup at Sham Shui Po Sports Ground. We will be facing Bear Foot FC and Gebo Tooo FC. Hopefully a win here can make us all feel a little better following Thursday’s penalty drama.
Then the following Sunday, 30th March, we will be back in the familiar surroundings of Happy Valley. Our opponent is unknown but will be confirmed asap.
No date for the Ar5ena1 Supports Club game so keep your eye on the forums.
If the Carling Cup Final was the way Juande Ramos announced to the world that a new era of Spurs dominance had begun, then the match between SIHK and Chelsea Supporters Club (CSC) may well be the watershed performance that we have been waiting for here in HK. Pre-match intelligence had us down as the underdogs, pitted against the considerable manpower and might of the CSC forces. Edman spoke highly of their quicksilver wingers; rumours spread as to their pre-match tryout which saw them pick from a squad of 30. With SIHK missing several regulars, an uphill battle lay ahead.

Word on the street is that the mighty SIHK beat the Chelsea Supporters last night. I personally wasn’t there so can’t shed any light on how good the performance was or how good the goals were but from reading the forums it sounds like one of the best yet with an end result of 3-1. COYSIHK!

It could be said that the longer you wait, the more you enjoy sweet, sweet victory when it (finally) comes. And yet, like reluctant and tardy London Buses, triumph came in twos in the final weekend of February. It came with double helpings of magnificence, a side salad of elation and a delightful dessert of deep satisfaction. For, not only did Spurs finally win something, but SIHK claimed their most successful result in their short, but nonetheless event-filled, history.

SiHKFC returned to our bogie-pitch, the carpet at Happy Valley for our fifth match against the Samless Soldiers.
It proved to be an event-filled match. Indeed, so much took place that nobody could agree the final score.
In usual shambolic fashion, SiHK just about managed to get enough players on the field in time for kickoff, and went through a rigorous warm-up routine of taking pot-shots at the goal (and usually missing). Yet there was cause for optimism. With Craig and James returning to action after a 2 month hiatus, there were surely goals to be scored.

After some great work by Edman we received our new football shirts just over a week ago. You might of already seen them in the Xmas Party photos or you might own your own but for those who haven’t here’s a few photos.
Apparently the shirt goes surprisingly well with Benny Cat’s pants, although I have yet to witness this wonderous sight. We’ll be having our next game around mid January so we could well be in for a treat!
‘Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…..’. It’s strange how much the goings ons’ at our beloved Spurs is mirrored by the going ons with our very own team in HK. Upper tier Management confused and in dissaray? Check. Porous back four with injury and waistline problems? Check. Skillful attackers not yet firing on all four cylinders? Check. Fancy dan midfield full of flicks and tricks, yet not really providing the cutting edge we need? Check. Some players spending too much time in the showers, soaping and lathering each other whilst staring into each others eyes until it gets too much for them and both burst into tears? Check and check again. After match refuelinng of the body problems? Check.

When you strip football of its post-Sky razzmatazz, it’s still a simple game. A simple game which rewards simple passing and the occasional bit of a ingenuity. A cliche, I know. (Not a Gay Cliche as David Pleat refers to a certain full-back down the road.)
So SiHKFC really need to take a long hard look at themselves, because there was some odd on-ball decision-making during the course of this match. It ended 2-2 when really we should have been coasting. We’d taken the lead through BennyLee and a long-ranger from Craig. Bish, bosh. Should’ve been good night Judas (a.k.a. Defector Sam) and his Soldiers. Movement was scarce though. The simple act of passing it out from the back seemed physically impossible. Was it the evening heat? The glare of the lights? The dazzling showcase of impeccably-ironed kits that Edman had paraded before kick-off?
