Seriously LMFAO: Coach Philippe Aw has been granted time off from the Young Lions’ coaching duties after his intense duties as Head Coach of the Football Men's team in the recently concluded SEA Games in Cambodia.
When one is a former paper general in the SAF he gets to enjoy certain unspoken privileges, such as talking cock without having to bear a single ounce of responsibility should anything untoward happen ;)
Yo Bernard Tan, is your invitation to meet up face-to-face still valid? Limpei would love to give you such a good dressing-down your arse will end up going straight to mama crying for help 😛
FAS chief apologises after terse response to social media comment on SEA Games thrashing
SINGAPORE: The acting president of the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) apologised on Friday (May 12) after a curt response to a comment on Singapore's 7-0 defeat by Malaysia at the SEA Games.
The result on Thursday was Singapore's worst since since a 5-0 beating by Thailand at the last edition. It also ensured the under-22 footballers ended their campaign bottom of the group and with no wins for the first time since 1987.
The FAS chief Bernard Tan had responded to a comment on his Instagram account calling for his resignation. The user, nic_8276, added: "You (Tan) are not worthy of the paycheck."
In response, Mr Tan said he is not paid and proposed a "one-time offer".
"Instead of abusing me here. Abuse me face to face. Let's meet," wrote Mr Tan. " Drop me an email ... I will leave your comment for 24 hours. After which I will delete you. It's my wall."
His Instagram account has since been set to private.
In a post on Friday, Mr Tan called the 7-0 defeat "one of the worst nights in our history".
"(Events) of last night led to emotions running high with some abuse on my social media from unfamiliar accounts," read the post. "I regret responding and apologise deeply. I hold myself to a higher standard. I am human. I was hurting too."
He said that he had always wanted to be more open through social media and to meet people privately as "there are many who have offered constructive feedback and perceptions from the ground."
He added that FAS had advised him and its members that open engagement with its stakeholders was "best done in formal organised settings".
"Tough questions will be asked over the next two weeks and we will do this openly," he said.
If it was also him who headed the inquiry panel that probed the dragonboat tragedy back in 2007, then he really has a penchant for saying the wrong things.
Wow, if he did in fact make such an exhortation it's darn unbecoming, not to mention totally unprofessional of him given his standing in the local football football fraternity.

Jaspal says FAS isn't totally to be blamed woh!
Where's this blueprint you spoke about back in 2014? Also, how's that "great national team" of yours coming along?

President of FAS not paid? I'd say that's fucking bullshit!
