Hiya ppl, guess we have finally got a chance to settle ourselves down n have a good team-talk liao. After t match on 22 July 06, we get to spurt out our concerns, straighten on agendas and settle on some dangling issues. Most of t main players r present tt day, so it's a good crowd of voice.
We settled on the following issues:
1) Priority and direction - Kismis has been around for 2-3yrs but seriously not much members have an idea of where we r heading n what r we trying to achieve. It started out as a friends' wk-end soccer gathering n people who r free juz come n go as they like. We can play both streets n field. Who got lobang, we go where type lor. Anyway, from now onwards Kismis will give priority to street soccer (Any type of street, not juz tos 4-on-4 type) and field soccer will be a secondary thingy. We'll still take on field matches wif anyone but we'll b playing for fun only. Dnt think we will be doing any competitive field matches at t moment. We'll work on establishing a stable team first n work frm there. Hopefully one day, we'll have enuff ppl to move onto field soccer...
2) Registration of players - We have work out on a list of 16 people who are ready to call themselves Kismis Utd players. We'll still b welcoming more people and also working to recruit tos boundary people (Friends' friends). We have also settled on the jersey numbering.
3) Attitude and commitment - Here's quite n issue. As we know, there's a few 'dead' players in Kismis and there also a few players who couldnt show up as often for t games. So we have to be wise on whether to take up such players or not. Dnt wanna see players picking up the jersey n not appearing at all. No point appearing once per month also. No point coming juz becos ya best friend is here. We also dnt need players doing 'lip service' only; say come no come, no come say bullshit things... Wat's t use of all t excuses n 'wishes' if u cant make it at all... Also to touch on t punctuality of players, 5-10min late is okie... But will t ball bearer n some key players pls b early... I'll slap myself n make it a point to b early also...
4) Jersey - All have confirm about the jersey. I'll also be making arrangement on my side to get things done asap. We'll b helping to get t jerseys n printing out by Sept or Oct bah. T only thing undone is the color. U guys sure u want 'pink'??? (So gay lor...) I'll pay for a part of t jersey and JonD will b sponsoring t badges... T rest of t amt to pay will depend on which jersey chosen liao...
5) Duties - JonD will continue to be in-charge of contacting t ppl. (Phone-call or sms) So u guys pls reply to him when he contact u. Dnt give him trouble. Also be considerate, if u cant come or get something on or bringing friends, go n inform him before Friday (Day before match) Eric - Okie, i'll b doing tis blog (Updating on matches and news report) and also to do t logistic of booking fields and such. So if there is going to be a need to use a field, please response to me earlier (Booking takes time). Shawn, Shahin and Weichong - The task of bringing your friends down for soccer & try to recruit them also (If they meet our criteria) Chris - Please help to 'fix-up' the blog, i can only write in the blog but i dunno how to add anything 'stunning' to it.
6) Matches - Matches will be confirmed by Wed/Thurs of the week. I'll b posting the venue, game type and other details on the blog. I'll also inform JonD about t details also. I'll propose to rotate the games n venue n timing a bit (Slowly lah), so that we r fair to t players who travel fair every wk to play. Dnt wish to hear players not wanting to travel or wat excuses la. So far, we'd played at Kismis (Home-grd), Zhangde field, Henderson court, NUS, Clementi, St Wilfrid and Telok Blangah.
List of registered players and number:
Syafiq - 4; Tong - 5; Shawn - 6; Eric - 7; JonD - 8; Chau - 9; Hao - 10; M.S. - 11; Shahin - 13; Ken - 17; Ian - 21; Dennis - 22; Jacky - 23; Weichong - 24; Erwin -25; Jianchong -89
We'll b waiting on the replies from a few more guys... Let's work hard for Kismis Utd bah...
Eric
