I thought I am already in university.
Today I found out that apparently, I'm still in highschool.
When my team's skipper, Noxs was going to take the penalty kick... (believe this!)
the stadium was filled with a chorus of 'booos' and jeerings.
It wasn't just insulting and demotivating, it was MEAN.

I know. I didn't believe it either. It was like a scene straight from some teen movies about school bully. Can you say, MEAN GIRLS?! Oh, wait! There were mostly boys there.
Now, I have no idea where all these kids came from but I seriously thought that we left such kind of behavior back in high school. I guess some people just never grow up. Let's hope that when they are in the PTA meeting, complaining about some other kids bullying their precious child, they would remember what they did today.
However, just like in the movies...
Noxs succeeded with the penalty kick and sealed the team's victory =)
Congratulation, Champions!
Ain't it sweet?
Anyone for a second helping?

Those jeers and boos meant something.
Rather than sulking about it by calling it 'R' and letting the community know that you are glorified with sweetness for winning the precedented(yes, precedented) MMU Cup and proving everyone wrong is not the way to go.
Your skipper is jeered and booed for a reason. It is so so safe to say that even his own teammates(the whole team) would do the same IF they are not plying their own concerns for Dettol.
People have said and people have done and people have said again. But when theres no change, people get frustrated.
There is no refuting the things your skipper has done to the MMU football scene. But he himself needs to change. For the better.
Reflect back on the things he has done. It is made very clear to him what he has done wrong.
And to you dear writer of this post, dont underestimate the power of media and writings. There is a reason why some things are censored and are spoken in a hush hush manner. You just have to grow up from your highschool years and move up a level or two to realize that.
Dude, to help someone change to the better by booing is not an effective way would you agree?
For me, if you really want someone to change, is for you to change yourself first. By booing just takes your own level lower than the one who you were booing at.
Let me give you a hint. SPORTSMANSHIP. Have you ever heard of that word before? I know you have. Do you even know what it means? Go google it :)
Again and again I will say this, IF you really want someone to change, why not cheer instead of jeer? And to really change, is for you to forget about the past of what someone did.
Senang cita, lu mau orang bertaubat and berubah, lu sendiri sudah bertaubat and berubah ka? Kalau sudah, kenapa childish sampai kene boo?
Cmon. Look at the improvements Dettol had made. Give some credit to them. ACKNOWLEDGE the positives, not the negatives.
Sorry I have to disagree with you Dan. What the author wrote here is much better than booing back at you. At least, the author is not bringing herself lower to yours. Credit to the author, you're spot on by posting this up.
Remember, help the people who are trying to improve, yes they'll still wont get it right 100% in a blink of an eye, but notice the improvements they've made.
Lets ALL grow up shall we?
Pardon my wrongs in my point of view. Correct me if anything. :)
Dan,
first of all, thank you for your comment.
i am aware that the jeers and boos meant something. i work with him too you know.
and i am fully aware that booing is a part of watching a game.
i am also aware that MANY people will disagree with me. but all i am saying is that, what happened was a bit too much, at least to my perspective.
it doesn't hurt to be more supportive. especially when people want to improve themselves.
maybe i was just writing more as a friend than a manager :)
if that is unacceptable and should be censored, i offer my apology.
Dear hanafi,
I couldn't help but realizing that the extract of your comment spells of someone who doesn't really know what he is talking about. Why you might say. Here's why.

" Dude, to help someone change to the better by booing is not an effective way would you agree?

For one thing, the only premise we are talking here is about football and the attitude one should be accustomed of in relation to football. Nothing else. So, the notion of what you are suggesting to me, about changing myself first before I change others, is not relevant. You really should come to your senses and realize that attacking me is not the solution to the problem.
Also, the boos made were meant as a gesture to your skipper, saying that people do not like his attitude around footballing concerns. I think even you know what I am talking about because it would be ignorant of you to have missed it.
I am also pointing out that not all things are wrong with your skipper. There are people who talked to him and told him what is wrong but he chooses to let it pass him by. I have said in my post that your skipper did good in resurrecting MMUs' football scene and that statement still stands.
I quote.
" Let me give you a hint. SPORTSMANSHIP. Have you ever heard of that word before? "
First of all, do you think that by knowing the definition of the word sportsmanship makes you a higher person than I am. We are equals. What makes us different is the way we perceive and handle things.
I looked for the definition of sportsmanship online and here is what I got.
http://www.google.com.my/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=Vjf&defl=en&q=define:sportsmanship&ei=WYUHStzUJtaGkQXx1IHWBw&sa=X&oi=glossary_definition&ct=title
There is none there saying that as a football fan, I have to adhere to the rules of sportsmanship. Dettol FC is not my opponent. Black Emperor is not my team. I am a mere fan. I am entitled to assert in my opinion.
I quote.
" ...Look at the improvements Dettol had made. Give some credit to them. ACKNOWLEDGE the positives, not the negatives. "
Acknowledgement of Dettol achievement will come with time. When people see Dettol as a force to be reckoned with, it will come. You crave for acknowledgement so much that it has impaired your judgement in making these comments. Plus, if you look at it closely, people are not booing and jeering at Dettol FC. To whom they are jeering? I leave that to you good senses.
There rest of the things you wrote are just repetition of your anger perhaps. I hope it consoles you knowing that I acknowledged your anger.
As far as I am concerned, I have conducted myself well enough in these writings. Let the readers decide on who needs to grow up more.
Dear Scarlet Kiss,
I am acknowledging the manner of which you composed your comment. Thank you for that.
I am also consoled to hear you explain that you are writing more of a friend rather than a manager. I am saying this as polite as possible. Don't you think your post is more suited to a private blog rather than a football blog?
Maybe you were disillusioned by the fact that your friend is being touted and could not think of the implications that surrounds it at that time. I understand that completely and I respect the way you perceive my first comment.
Apology accepted.
:)
for someone who's leaving MMU, during his last match here, I think he deserves a little bit more respect.
it's ok if we are not throwing him a going-away party, but what happened was unnecessary.
don't tell me there's no such thing as humanity and decency in sports.
Scarlet Kiss,
History have shown that in the MMU footballing scene, appreciation is shown to the people who deserves it. I do not know if you know of any but yes, if a person conducts himself well enough to adhere the admiration of his peers, he will be duly remembered. I guess your skipper didn't do it the right way. That may explain the jeers.
Yeah. Most probably that.
