I think Alam Shah’s right. The media plays a part too. They will only publish ALL European Football League. When it comes to the SLeague, NONE!! Why is this so? Are they being paid to publish Euro Leagues?
It is time for them to wake up. I have mailed to the New Paper..but it seems they are not interested in the local football. It makes me sick!! The local media does not support the local football. The So Called TOP 10 leagues in Asia…i think that’s a load of crap

Please help me do smtg about it…PUBLISH MORE LOCAL FOOTBALL!!!!

S lge shld be a local lge n not hvg korean, japanese, african or chinese team which over the years are laguishing in bottom to mid table. At least if u let a foreign team play it shld help improve the local players. Also its stupid to hve this teams at the expense of sembawang, gombak, jurong n tg pagar which had faithful supporters.

S lge club shld embrace the locals n make thenm hve a sense of belonging to the club……n wat better way to hve loyalty than hvging a gd youth programme frm say the U8s all the way to the prime lge. This is sadly lacking with the local club who are only concern with the senior team and leaving the youth football to schools and weekend private soccer school.

Some of the clubs don’t even have an U16 or even U18 team! FAS forget about your youth development when you have only 5 S league clubs having youth teams! This means only about 100(5 x 20 players) U18 youth players are training and playing competitively for the whole year. That’s a sad number and if you don’t have numbers, coming from a small country like singapore, you’ll have even LESS talents coming through!

I don’t think he is qualify to said all those remarks and cannot be compare nto Fandi standard in footballing. I think he would not be lomg with Indonesia grouup anyway like see how long he stay to play ther. I don’t understand why S’pore pick him as Captain instead of all available better pliayer

I truly support Noh Alam Shah for his comments. After the comment that he made in the press about S league standard which is dropping, poor refreeing, poor crowd support etc,I notice alot of readers commented on the paper and also the website and critisize even the new paper reporter Ernest mentioned that Alam shah forgot that S league give him and his family salary for the last few years and all other negative comment. Even my friends at work also condemn his comment. Let us face the fact now. how many of us really did support the S league or the our national team? Even my friends at work did not support S league and national Team and yet they pass the remark and negative about Noh Alam shah. I told them that they have no right because they do not supoort the league and yet they want to comment on what his said. most of our reader i believe it just a nonsense and trying to protect and spoke on behalf of the league. come on, be Sincere and touch our heart. Ask our self whether did we support our league? and national Team. Look at the liverpool debate and yet the shameless singaporean still dare to comment about the national anthem incident and yet they are there to show support to who? liverpool right.Noh Alam Shah have woken up the FAS, now they start talking. Even the president of FAS start speaking. Before this, did we ever heard of FAS coming out to talk to the press? Our S league is the top 10 league in Asia, Please lah, stop this rubbish. In indonesia, on average, About 40000 fans turn up for a league match. in singapore, even 400 fans hardly to get. And out of the 100%, 90 % free ticket or complimentary. I know by joining Malaysia cup is already way past in history but At least FAS should do something. do not just sit there and wait till moment like this happen , when your own player start talking, and you start telling there is rule when they sign the contract. cut away the red tape. so many coaches and players interview and most of the magree with Noh alam shah but their name not mentioned (Secret) At least we should appreciate that Noh alam shah did stand up and speak up. Let take it the positive way and FAS Wake up your idea. Do not just sit down in the office, do something to improve the league. when the league improve, Fans will turn up, players morale will boost up and competition will be there. till then….

It no point to look for foreign talents if S’pore does not know how to appreciate and the nurture the local talents that we have here.
Is deeply saddening to know that we as Singaporean are greatly valued in other shores where else our people here does not know how to support the local scene here be it in arts, music, movies, sports entertainment etc.. Many Singaporeans feel that we have to make it overseas to gain recognition before they can come back to local shores to be accepted.
I hope that the relevant authorities in different sectors will continue to strive to invest and develop what we have here and not just look to out source and to one day come to a point where the usual quote of one fellow A S’porean: “Ah ya.. S’pore CMI lah..” can be less frequently heard.
