Football: Footbrawl at Jalan Besar between Young Lions and Beijing Guoan
Posted: 08 September 2010 0043 hrs


SINGAPORE: It was supposed to be a football contest.

But Tuesday night's Great Eastern-Yeo's S-League match between the Young Lions and Beijing Guoan at Jalan Besar Stadium disintegrated into a brawl, forcing referee Zaid Hussein to abandon the game minutes before the final whistle.

Young Lions' midfielders Gabriel Quak and Faritz Abdul Hameed were sent to hospital after they were injured.

An investigation was launched almost immediately and in a statement issued last night, the Football Association Singapore (FAS) said: "The FAS takes a serious view of this gross misconduct by the players. We are conducting an investigation into this matter and the perpetrator's will be dealt with severely."

Players and officials from both sides, including match commissioner Clement Teo, will be interviewed and video footage will also be used.

Watched by 814 spectators - the official attendance figure given - the melee involved players and officials from both sides and erupted after Young Lions' Afiq Yunos grabbed an 88th minute equaliser to cancel out Zhang Ye's 48th minute opener for Beijing.

It is believed the equaliser caused Beijing's frustrations to boil over, leading to late tackles and eventually the melee, which also saw Young Lions' team manager Eugene Loo pushed to the ground.

Gabriel suffered an injury to his arm while Faritz sustained a head injury.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, a fan who saw everything unfold, said: "After going a goal up, Beijing were under siege from the Young Lions and there was a lot of time-wasting from them, plus a series of niggly skirmishes.

"After the equaliser, two separate fights broke out almost simultaneously, and the referee, his assistants and the fourth official all went onto the pitch to try and quell the situation.

"However, they couldn't control things and some players were even chasing each other around the pitch. Thankfully, it was all over in about three minutes."

According to the FAS, the match will now be rescheduled. - CNA/fa

I like how the FAS can't pluralise "perpetrator" correctly.

The Young Lions are mostly malays right?

If so, this is a malay and PRC fight.

My friends.. NEVER take these incidents lightly. Football violence is a symptom of a deeper social problem. Not many people know that the Yugoslavia War started in 1990 after a football riot between Serb and Croat spectators. The whole country disintegrated after that Red star belgrade(serb) vs dynamo zagreb(croat) match.

The SG Govt has been quick to act on racial/religious discords. Poodles never hesitate to punish any singaporean who has spoken bad about another's race/religion and make an example out of him.. But when it comes to social problems involving FTs, they will act dumb and deaf.

When this pot boils over, lets watch the show..

Sinkies should have more balls to tell those farking FTs off whenever those farkers try to be funny. Esp. the ah tiongs, who are getting more kuai-lan by the day. I will not hesitate to scold those bastards or even whack the shit out of them if they ever step on my toes! :oIo:

Every negative feeling torwards foreigners will translate to every negative vote for PAP. The title should read " LOCAL VS PAP". We don't hate foreigner, we hate PAP for inciting that hate by growing our populations thru reckless policies.

I thought only kids pull shirt when fighting?
