Reply to Chris' post...

I have a few points regarding the issues that Chris have brought up. I actually wanted to juz tag tis but i see no point as BLIND PPL cant read tagboards~!

1st) The new jerseys: I have a lobang for the jerseys. Mayb i can even spponsor the jerseys for everyone. T guys juz pay for the numbering & logo mayb??? Tat one will depend on the response of the team and the COMMITMENT i see for the ppl lor. I dnt want any undeserving ppl getting the jersey and be part of the team. I m willing to pay but i expect a return in terms of commitment.

2nd)I dnt not agree with the point that "If hand them a jersey and call them members", these ppl will feel more commited. We have always welcome anyone. It doesnt take a jersey to prove anything. Take a look at t few who doesnt have a jersey but are here more regularly than tos with jersey. N it is a SHAME to hear that a few ppl wif jerseys have not ever wear our jerseys before~! And if u r sincere abt joining/playing with the team, U CAN ALWAYS CALL US! My number, JonD's number is on the blog~! Why r we the ones making all t calls??? And in the end, u see ppl coming to games late. Not coming down and nver even bother to give a reason. There's no commitment. N there r also those ppl who promise to be here but due to late nite on Fri, due to party, due to lazy, due to sleep, due to gf, chooses to boycott the team. If there is one person in the team who can do it, why cant u???

3rd) This is a dummy blog lor... May i seriously ask, who really reads tis blog??? I can see only a handful and not regularly also lor... This blog is meant to be our best means of info and updates but i get ppl asking me, "Wat your blog address", "U got write meh", "I nver read leh"... Can someone do something abt tis??? I even did sent a mass sms to all t kismis ppl i knoe to inform of this blog but none replied to me~!

4) Kismis Utd has been up for 3-4yrs... But how many tourneys or matches have we go for??? Who r our first IX or regular ppl??? Even when we need to play against others, we have to ask friend to bring friend to fill the voids. How pathetic. How r we going to organise anything if we cant even identify ourselves???

I know i m ranting a lot but i think i have to say lor... It's truely unfair to me and JonD for t hard work. When can we sit back on a Sat n wait for someone to call us up for soccer? Wanna bet, if t two of us dnt call for a mth, soccer stops for a mth??? Or should i say, who dare takes up t challenge of organising a Sat game (Dnt even mention tourney)...

Btw, i really appreciate tos friend's friends who bother to make t number for us every wk-end. We gotta rely so much on them. If tos ppl r members, they will make us prouder then tos who r here regularly but nver claims to b a kismis player at all...

Apology if the above passage have cause any discomfort or unrest among the ppl. It was meant to stir up a common reaction towards 'real' issues faced by Kismis. No one is personally targeted at or intended. We welcome all feedbacks, good or bad. and we'll try our best to address to the issue as a team, Kismis Utd team. Dnt wanna see ppl not turning up for soccer juz becos of something someone said...
