Team commitment

Guys, I think its time to reflect and think about our commitment for this team.. We started this team basically is to gather our friends and play football on weekends.. We didnt join leagues because i feel that we do not have the level of commitment yet.. I know most of you are schooling and some stil in NS, but i think on a Sunday morning, there isnt much activities to do.. Talking about the commitment level, Chee wah and I feel that once we see that the level is there, we could be able to join a league soon and have regular football.. Sadly, i do not see this coming in the near future.. Our squad is supposed to have around 20 players but nowadays the turnout is to the bare minimum and at times we were playing with just 8 players..

I know a few of you have gone or going overseas for training, i could only wish you all the best and have a safe journey.. Some with serious injuries like Hanyong.. Let me briefly touch on how the matches are being arranged and this will lead to another problem that's evident recently.. Alex's friend who is the referee will book the pitches and arrange for opponents for our team.. He will let me or Chee wah know that there's a match coming up this sunday.. After which i will sent out a SMS to my side of people and Chee wah will do likewise for his side.. The ideal situation is that we will know the strength of the squad by Friday and call in replacements.. This is not happening my dear people!! Chee wah is not getting the responses fast and i understand that you may have other commitments which you cant confirm now but we will appreciate the fact that you reply by stating that you will get back to us, and instead we are hanging in limbo not knowing the strength at all..

This is a serious problem to be addressed, both of us have been SMSing to all of you since March 2006 and if you add up all the costs, it could buy a latest digital camera with 8 mega pixels..

Some players which i do not wish to mention, have been out of the team for quite sometime already and i feel that its not just injuries that's hindering you.. I dont even know how many of you out there are reading this blog and checking for updates..

Lastly, both Chee wah and I just have to say that if you are not committed anymore, please do not waste your time and ours, do let us know and we wish you all the best.. If you have the intention to carry on, do reply us on your availability for matches asap, if not you will be the next one that is going to send out the SMSes to confirm the attendance..

Please take some time to reflect on this and feel free to reply through the tagboard or post and entry..

Thank you!!

Roger
