Glory days are here again!!

Full house Shah Alam Stadium 

I was one of the 65,000 crowd who flocked Shah Alam stadium last night. It was a sight yearned by many for years . Large group of men singing , chanting and dancing . Celebrating the game.. the big game... Selangor's fan really had their treat after a long lapse. I've been to the stadium with my fellow fanatic supporters time and time again ; usually we'd go back in frustration. But the feeling last night was certainly something new..

MALAYSIA CUP SEMI FINAL. SELANGOR VS TERENGGANU

I really love big games when the supporters will come all out to support. Not just young men , but families with their wife and young ones ; a family outing. Eventhough it was a Wednesday night , nobody really bothered. I was quite surprised initially as the traffic jam caused was really a bummer. We were stuck for about half an hour on the road ; driving 4 kilometers at a snail's pace. mE , dIL , Fiqar and wifey were late for the game !! It was already 30 minutes into the game when we stepped in. It was annoying at first , being late and all. However , when i opened the Kelisa's door - the sound of supporters cheering , the echo made by the massive crowd , all the despair feeling disappeared.


Hardcore fans 

GOAL !!! Everybody was shouting and immediately we knew.. it was Selangor's goal !! We wnet in to have a look on the score board. Damn... 1-1. Which means that Terengganu had scored earlier. Quickly we took the stairs ( pity to wifey who was panting away ) and sat on the third tier. Good view to watch a good game !! Anyway , that was the only tier which was quite empty. The first 2 tiers were full , people were actually standing up to cheer our beloved Selangor team.


happy supporters 

The second half started slow. The game however was played very openly mannered. Both teams were attacking each other and it was nerve wrecking to see Selangor's defense making silly mistakes which nearly resulted goal for the opponent. Bambang and Elli , the two indonesian imports were certainly at a different class from the rest of the field. Thats how Selangor gained good stadium support this year ; the working-class foreigners in Malaysia !!! Khalid as usual was the one to jeer. I do pity him at times but unfortunately he is just pathetic !!

And when the corner kick was taken , everybody knew it was goal bound and walah.. We were 2-1 up !! We were all jumping for joy like small kids !!! Wifey was just smiling and shaking his head seeing 3 20 ++ year olds acting like < 6 !! hahahahaha... ANd of course , when Bambang wrapped it up in the dying minutes , The celebration was complete !!! It is the euphoria that all supporters have been waiting for for years...


kick baby kick 

I hope that my baby felt the stadium atmosphere.Goo exposure though at a very young age !! hahahaha.. Overall ; It was a good game..and a good outing! It was the first time , the three of us watching a Selangor match , and Selangor won !!! Viva RED GIANTS !!
