Team News

Westlanders United take on Barracudas Football Club at the Queensway Sec Arena with all the players fit, except NSmen Sasi and Johann who are still a doubt. Versatile Mat Noor cannot commit this week due several reasons.Haikal is also having his NPCC camp and won't be able to make it.
Ravi and Jagan may line up in central defence as per normal, away from their craving position of strikers, and Coach has revealed they are likely to play in the front when the right time and situation occurs .

Fellow winger Sathya is expected to fill-in at centre-mid along Murukesh again, as the makeshift of midfield continues.
With Westlander's usual midfielders expected to perform, the likes of Navin, Man-of-the-Match Ryan could start in their place, as strikers Reshi and Umar are most likely to start.

Important Infomation





As you can see, our team has almost become inactive due to the fact that our players are not showing enough commitment.Today; our team reaches its 3rd year anniversary under Coach Sam.



On these very day, 15th Nov 06, our team started off with 26 players beating various teams from the West. We were well known for our competitiveness and zest. Today is the day where we are supposed to share our greatest memories with the team about our team. Unfortunately, the opposite just happened.

We are only left with 10 players. Out of the 10 only 3 excluding Coach has been with the team since the beginning.



A big salute to these players who have made the week in and out; even though the attendance had barely reached a total of 13 players. These players are the ones who made Westlanders.

Although, we were disappointed with the others, we still made it to training even though it was held about 16-17 stations away from Jurong.We made it there even though Coach scolded us unfairly and unduly because of the rest. We made it there even though we knew Mondays were schooldays. We made it there even though we knew we will lose our good 8hrs sleep.



We made sacrifices. All the 10 of us went through shit to come trainings. One of our players discarded his India trip with family for the sake of our tournament. Our Coach loses his job to conduct trainings. Why?!



Because we loved the team and football. That passion will not change from or after today.



We are going to stand together in this tough time like how we did in the past.Westlanders could not continue its venture in ESPZEN league because our squad does not have the minimum amount of players.





Fellow Westlanders (those who still stand), as your Captain and a friend I am announcing to you that Westlanders is going through the stage of re-building the entire team from scratch. Few has emailed me regarding the cancellation of training for the past few weeks.This is the reason, the past 2 weeks only us were willing to come training. The rest as you know ignored the team messages. I called/emailed/blog/msn/smsed them all in various way. The same answer came on a Saturday night 9hrs before training upon us contacting them that they have something on.



Because of this Coach has been deeply hurt. He planned a lot for our anniversary today. But all his dreams were shattered. He has not answered his call to anyone in the past 2 weeks.



I am sure that Westlanders will not end today. But in this unusual time I am urging the 10 of us, the last men standing to stay close and re-build Westlanders back to its glorious times. We have to be patient and move step by step to achieve what we want.



Westlanders turn 3 today and we will be with it till it turns a hundred. We are not just an ordinary team, we are a big family.

Life has it's circle.We will get players whom are more crazy with soccer and more obsessed with soccer.


Westlanderians gear up to revive this team…



This is the beginning!

Coach discharged after minor op...

Westlander’s football Coach Sam was ill in an intensive care unit two days back due to heart pain. He was discharged today after a minor op was performed to help him feel better.

Doctors described his condition as stable after the operation at Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
Coach was rushed to hospital when he encountered unusual pain in his chest during work. The doctor diagnosed him to have a few blocks in his arteries because of cholesterol.

As the team Captain, a relative of Westlanders Coach, I am urging all Westlanderians to help him with his recovery and well-being. Please rebuke him if he smokes in front of the team.

It is a rule from today that Coach should not smoke in front of us or even behind us, not even a kilometer away from us.

Smokers in our team also avoid asking him cigarettes and please do not help him buy cigarettes too. Smokers in the team also please do not smoke in front of him. That might entice him to smoking.

The doctor have told his family and me that his health condition can get bad to worse if he persists smoking and continues eating fatty food.
He has had 2 hours of surgery all through to find out the problem.

He has been a fantastic Coach for us and for the team, the least we can do is to help him stop smoking and of course play well in the upcoming league. (Performing well in the pre-season)


‘How stressful life is as a Westlanders manager’


He should be at home right now resting. You guys are welcomed to call and send your regards.

Latest information to take note: Make sure you bring black socks and shorts along with you for Sunday’s game.

Pre-Season Starts...





Date 20-Sep
Barclays Capital Football Club vs Westlanders United
8.15am (7.30am meet at Jurong East)
Henderson Sec School






Westlanders will be gearing up for our first pre-season match against Barclays Capital Football Club a Division 4 Sunday League Team.They have western-based players and have more experience in Espzen league.For more information you can click league information in helpful links.




We have to be prepared and take this chance to be match fit before the actual league starts.We must give our very best and see where we stand as team.




Westlanders manager Sam and a number of his senior players have confessed the manner of their team committment in the previous league still wrangles, with Coach admitting he would love another showdown with the new league with new challenges from his new set of young talented team.




It is up to the team loyals and newbies to make it up to Coach.




Another issue will be the time factor,several players are not taking the timing seriously.When Coach says 8am in the field,players take it as the so called 'Tamilan Timing'and come at 8.45am.


To avoid that,this week,all the players will be meeting at Jurong East Mrt Station at 7.30am sharp.Once we all meet,we'll leave to our destination.Please wake up early and don't make the whole team late.If you persist on coming late,than actions will be taken.This applies to the Westlanders Pioneers also.




Team news:

All muslims in team and Ruban are out due to time off till the end of Hari Raya and before Nov respectively.

The Good,The Bad and The Ugly (Posted By Coach)

Dear players,
I am very sorry to inform you, but I have decided to withdraw Westlanders from the D2D league. Mainly, there are two predominant reasons.
Reason 1:
The organizer wants us to play a rematch against La Familia Uno because we did not comply with FIFA rules, which is to play at least 30 mins before a game could be called off.Furthermore,the organizer kept mocking us for the past incidents in the past season where Jagan spat on the referee and other infamous incidents. They blame us for almost every fight that happened. The organizer also has a bad image on us in his mind. That’s why whatever reasons we gave to support the truth was ignored by the organizer. We are not in the fault and yet the organizers kept holding responsible on us which made me feel very bad and disheartened by the blind remarks. We all knew Hyrul was a victim in the incident but the organizer totally ignored that incident and blamed us for the fight which we did not start. As a coach it is my duty to take care of the players and the team image. I personally decided to withdraw from the league where we are not respected and trusted. I hope all the players would understand my decision and stand along it for a better future in our team.
Reason 2:
$ Team Fund $ $985.With these amount we could have bought a new set of jerseys for ourselves and there will still be remaining money in our team fund kept by me. This is the amount yet to be settled by our players. Last week, we only collected $43.The rest I had to fork out from my pocket. I don’t mind paying for the team at crucial times but this is happening all the time. I cannot be paying all the time for the team. You guys should have the responsibility to pay up also. Can you all recall what sasi posted on our blog? If not, go read that post again. I am very disappointed with the team’s attitude. Just imagine what if I don’t have any cash in my pocket last week. What would have happened? We would have embarrassed ourselves in front of the referee, opponents and mainly the organizer who is already thinking we are a bad team. We can’t even collect $100 per game. From last season onwards, Mostly, I have been paying the remaining balance. I am currently unemployed but still I did pay the outstanding for u all. How? Did the money fall from the sky? I too have to do my part in contributing to Westlanders.
If an unemployed man like me can do it? What can’t you? Think about it…
I am sick and tired repeating these every single week.Reshi is a good example here. He initially owed $97.The same time some of you all owed $90 to $120.But today, He completed his fund and also paid one week in advance. He told me in one of the games that he saved up weekly and avoided spending unnecessarily from his allowances to pay for the team. This is the spirit I expected from the rest. I was touched by his committed act towards the team. Please guys…Please pay up your balance. I cannot keep on answering the other players who are regularly paying.
I’ll make sure we will be back in a different league where it is definitely better than the previous league. Before we go into the new league, I have to do some changes in the team I.e. Formations and Fitness, Discipline. We have lost many good players and have new players yet to settle down in our team formations. Due to that, I need to have trainings with the full squad so that I can make changes in the team. We will be having training the next couple of weeks at Ang Mo Kio Field at 4pm Saturdays. I just started my work and on Saturdays I am still working, but I will rush to the venue after my work as it is nearer to my place. You guys shouldn’t have any problem because we have been travelling every week around Singapore for games. Be punctual. Whoever is later than me; have to run 5 rounds around the field before joining the training.
Please take note, if you cannot make it; please inform me by Wednesday night. If you cannot contact me, leave a message in this blog. I will only excuse certain people other than that I want the whole team to be in the field by 4pm.Team fund will still continue…Please use this period to pay up (Esp. those who owe a lot) and brush up your fitness before our next tournament begins. I am very serious about the upcoming tornament; I want to prove that Westlanders is the best of the best. We can do it…We have the talent. We are the rising stars…
See you all this Saturday! Be ready for hell of a training!
NO MORE MR NICE GUY!

Game info

Westlanders Utd vs EUFC
Tanglin 4pm
We are taking on Eufc, the current league leaders after beating La familia Uno 2-1. Westlanders are well-known for delivering surprises against top teams.Nevertheless, our full concentration should be on beating them this saturday.We are on a relatively good form after beating Royals 1-0.However, we should not take Eufc lightly.They are a good team and have beaten us 2-1 very uncomfortably.Although, we gave them a good fight in Clementi woods, this time the end-results are more important. Interestingly, Westlanders have ever losed in Tanglin. Hope, Lady Luck is also on our side… Please be at the field by 4pm as usual.Wear your training kit to the field.Most importantly,bring your team fund.We cannot expect Coach or the regulars to keeping paying all the time.

Post by Sasi

Dear friends, Firstly, I would to congratulate the team on its first win of the tournament. However, I would like to mention another very important matter.Please don't classfiy what I am going to say as a mere repetition. I don't know whether anyone noticed in yesterday's meeting when coach suggested to hyrul that the team fund would pay for his medical expenses if the need arises. It was then only, I realised the true reason why we (or most significantly, I) pay the team fund. I originally thought I was just paying for the sake of it; to just be in the team. However, when coach mentioned that statement, it changed my wrong perception forever. We got to admit that we are just the usual neighbourhood team with no proper facilities or benefits that a professional team has. We are playing matches in & out every week. (ToUCHWOOD)Anything could happen to us(ToUCHWOOD). We get "slided", we get "tackled" and vice versa. Some could be harmless, some could put us out the game. The only resource we could depend on and that, that is of our right is our team fund. We know owe in the hundreds'. Imagine if this was paid up, we could have a very safe and secure amount that could/would help any of us in any dire circumstances (something like insurance money or medisave). For example, Imagine we had that much of money, we could have paid for adly's fracture. So please, whenever you entertain about not paying your team fund, think of us or.. rather think about yourselves. If you had laid down seriously injured, how are you going to pay for medical expenses?. Remember, Small things make up the Big picture. If you don't take your health seriously and thus don't care about paying your bit of the team fund. Then you can forget about the team paying for your medical issues when the need arises. Try not to ignore this message and try to understand what i am trying to say. Choices do have consequences. Sasitheran S/O Rama Moorthy

Pre-occupied with soccer ever since the day my dad bought me a pair of diadora boots at the age of 12. I am a strong fan of the Red Devils Manchester United. My football God is Evergreen Ryan Giggs. I am studying in (DIDM) Republic Polytechnic and had a stint with the RP school team. In the past,I was with Jurong Fc U-16 and than played competitive football in various competitions. Currently,I am the skipper of Westlanders United Fc. I have the passion to play this beautiful game and will play it throughout my life. Thus,here I am.Training and preparing myself to give my best for my beloved team.Fighting with spirit to be a professional footballer some day in the near future...
