Was having my soccer session as usual on Sunday.
Actually the response on Sunday was not that good. Only around 8 people attend... No choice, got a lot of them busy with their lives, injuries, work commitment etc..
It's tough to organise a full attendance soccer session.
Everything was going alright when a pair of police officers came to us.. Yah.!
POLICE OFFICERS...!
What do they want? Oh well... stop us from kicking soccer in the basketball court of course. Well, I admit.. we were at the wrong.. for doing that. BUT! What choice do we poor commoners have? In the entire Avenue 1 where we were at.. I think there's not really a place for us poor soccer fanatics to really kick soccer. Tell us go street soccer court... COME ON!~.. It's so small.. HOW TO PLAY?!
Sometimes people don't really put on their brains. A good and EMPTY basketball court.. nobody playing basketball...left there to ROT.. why don't we just make full use of it to play? That's the problem with our society now...it's just not flexible enough.
I also don't understand why built so many basketball courts in SG but Singaporeans mainly kick SOCCER instead...HAHA...super weird.
I still remember once in my poly days.. we were kicking soccer in an open field.. the POLICE OFFICERS came.. and chase us out.. WHY? because it says "Restricted land".
One single sign board and we CAN'T KICK..
Alright...fine..we left that field... mmm.. TILL THIS DAY... THAT FIELD IS STILL EMPTY..
Well..up to them to waste a good piece of land..
Back to the Sunday incident, they asked us to show our ICs to them. That's fine too..as we fully understand the procedure. Then talk to us for a while.. and as long there's no complains..we can still kick.
Actually we seldom get a lot of complains.. let's see.. people walk past the court.. we stop to let them pass.. even see people carry heavy stuff, we also go and help them.
We are just friendly soccer players trying to find a place to kick. It's just the stupid rules and regulations that eventually restricted our movements.
I really hope we will one day get a soccer court for public use and not have restrictions that will hinder Singapore's soccer growth..
