Thunderbolt Stallions FC

2010-12-14T03:20:00.000-08:00

Following the loss, the manager Farshad Chand has gone on a shopping spree to sign new players to boost the current squad. Updates are as follows:

Signed:

Devesh Raju KP

Muhd Noor

Approached:

Fahmi Ali

Hamdy Azmi

Abdul Rahman Jumaat

Released:

Hafez Mawasi

National 'A' Division Champion Devesh who is currently unattached to any club has finally been signed by the manager after appearing and scoring twice on loan for the team. The gaffer is sure that he will receive a warm welcome by his teammates.

The history of Md Noor and club owner Farshad Chand goes all the way back since secondary school. The two of them have played on the same side and also against each other numerous times. The manager looks forward to this reunion.

"The Master" has also approached former star striker Fahmi Ali to re-join the team. He was released from the team 2 years ago due to conscription into National Service. Farshad Chand has high hopes for this transfer to materialise especially since there are rumours going around that Ali is considering hanging up his boots.

Another player Farshad Chand has re-approached is Hamdy Azmi who has impressed the manager while appearing twice on loan, scoring 3 goals in the process. This lad is yet another star striker that the manager has placed high hopes on signing.

The manager has released Hafez Mawasi back to S-League side Balestier Khalsa FC. The biggest name transfer in the history of the club did not manage to appear even once for the team due to his commitments to his main club. The manager, however, does thank the former National Under-18 player for even agreeing to be on the team's humble roster.

After EXACTLY 1 year of hiatus, Thunderbolt Stallions FC has recently been revived by "The Master" Farshad Chand. This was marked by a comeback match against Team Beeleaf CF for which Farshad himself is employed as Tactical Advisor, donning the number 23.

The much anticipated comeback, however, did not turn out to be a bang as expected by many. It was marred by a loss of 7-4 against a less favourite Team Beeleaf which fielded its 1st 11 and a few newly-signed key transfers.

Thunderbolt Stallions could only afford to field 9 of its players while 4 others came on loan from various clubs. Iskandar came on loan from the all-famous Adelphi FC, Abdul Hadi was loaned from ST45 and Alif was loaned-in from Tampines West CSC. Former player Ridzwan, who is now a boxer known as "Magic Hands" Ridzwan also came down to play. Even these big-name loan transfers could not help the Stallions from succumbing to defeat.

Due to a lack of manpower, a makeshift defensive backline was made up entirely from attacking players. Alif(loan)-midfield, Nashiran-winger, Sharif-midfield/striker, Hyder-midfield. This was made worse when Hyder and Bukit switched places based on mutual agreement. Bukit, being a striker, could not match up to the pace of the opposing wingers and was clearly unable to win the few tackles which he committed himself to. Another terrible play is by Sharif. Being an attacking minded player, he was unable to stay at the backline in defense. He kept pushing too far forward to support in attack that most of the time, the defense is left with a pathetic 3-men team. This was taken advantage of by the opponents by always trying to overload the box with atleast 3 players. This resulted in many goals being slotted in by the opposing side.

Final scoreline:

TSFC 4-7 Team Beeleaf CF

Remarks by the manager:

Tactics and formations are there for a reason. Stick to it and victory will be ours.

As the 2009 season drew to a close. The mighty Stallions ended on a low with a devastating loss against the National 'A' Division Champions, Victoria JC. The match, managed by then-Caretaker Manager Tan Chun Kang, saw goals flying into the home side's net over and over again. Former manager, Farshad Chand, had to leave at haltime with the scoreline at 3-0 due to family commitments. Never did he expect that his side would concede an emphatic 7 more goals from the National Champions.

Following the devastating loss, Tan Chun Kang was released from his contract as Caretaker Manager on mutual agreement between himself and the club owner Farshad Chand. The club then went on a season-long hiatus due to many of its players being conscripted into National Service.

2010-12-14T01:37:00.000-08:00

After the match against Team Beeleaf CF on 25/7/09, there were 2 other matches before The Stallions went on a season-long break. Reports are as follows:

Firemen Utd FC

3-4 Lose

6/12/09

Mango Pitch

VJC

0-10 Lose

12/12/09

Mango Pitch

2009-11-14T07:21:00.000-08:00

With effect from 10 December 2009, the owner of the club Farshad Chand will leave the management of the team to Tan Chun Kang. He will be concurrently promoted to the position of Caretaker Manager. Negotiations are still underway for this paradigm shift in the Boardroom.

The legendary manager has approached 3 players for the position of goalkeeper. Former loan player, Firdaus Haji, has rejected the offer outright citing academic reasons. Meridian JC's current 2nd choice, Jackson is still considering the offer while negotiations are underway to finalise the loan signing of former 'A' Division champion, Edmund Wong. The manager is also considering what would possibly be the highest profile transfer in the club's history by loaning Hafez Mawasi from S-League club Balestier Khalsa FC. In the meantime, the manager is still handling the biggest problem he has ever faced. That is, finding a replacement for himself.

The only success he has had in this transfer window is the signing of Chek Kai. The new talent has been under the observance of Chand for the past season. Finally, he has been signed.

Regarding fixtures, the legendary manager has promised the possibility of several high profile matches. This include matches against big names such as Anderson JC, Tampines West CC, Meridian Teacher's United and the 2008 'A' Division champions, Meridian JC. He hopes that the team will continue our winning streak in the face of such big teams.

The manager would like to wish the best of luck to all players and staff involved in major academic examinations. The Great Chand was also quick to note that Thunderbolt Stallions FC will return to action better than ever.

The manager apologises to all fans for the outdated updates on the website. There has been a severe technical malfunction in the TSFC office. Since the last update, manager Farshad Chand has made key signings and led the team team to an undefeated streak. Summarised updates are as follows:

Transfers (in):
Bryan Lim (free)
Dao Shen (free)
Terence Chin (Winven FC/Alwehdah FC)

Transfers (out):
Firdaus Haji
Nazri Nordin

Firdaus Haji returns as a free agent after a successful loan spell for the team. He appeared in 2 matches. Both a 5-all draw.
Nazri Nordin returns to Young SaviorZ CF after only a match which ended 5-5. He is transferred on a free, though with undisclosed stipulations.

Return (from National Duty):
Hyder
Haziq
Obaje

These 3 outstanding players have returned to the team and done us proud by representing MJC college team to runner-up position in the 2009 season of the 'A' Divisions.

Latest results:
TSFC 5-5 Pretenders FC
TSFC 5-2 Underground FC
TSFC 5-3 Evolution FC

Trivia:
Hyder, Firdaus Haji and Obaje were part of the MJC college team when they were crowned national champions in 2008.
Nashiran, Sharif, Firdaus Fifi, Amir, Dao Shen, Razif and Farshad were once part of MJC college team's pre-season squad.
Pretenders FC squad included TSFC's Mahir's younger brother. However, Mahir could not appear for this classic brother vs brother match due to other committments.
Underground FC boosted a former national player in the form of Navin.
Nazri Nordin is the first player to be transferred out to another club.

2009-04-07T05:36:00.000-07:00

Hamdy came on trial during the latest match. He managed to impress by scoring 2 goals, one from a penalty and the other a typical Stallion goal. This made the manager come to the conclusion that Hamdy is a worthy player who is capable of adapting to the team's style of play. Hence, the abovementioned player has been offered a permanent contract.

Azmi, who was supposed to come on trial, did not manage to do so as he had religious class. His trial will be postponed to the next match.

Newly signed players Nazri, Adri, Haji and Fadhil all impressed. Haji did so well, that he was not subbed out at all. Adri and Nazri, however, need to get more involved in the game as the manager believes that they could do more than what they displayed. Fadhil picked up the club's first booking in his debut. Immediately after entering the referee's book, he was subbbed out for Nashiran and was subbed in only during the dying minutes of the match for a more defensive approach.

The manager is impressed by the performances of the newcomers but wants them to improve their play in order for a genuine chance to play matches as the starting lineup. We wish them all the best.

Thunderbolt Stallions FC 5-5 Dunman Sec5NA 08

A brilliant match hard-fought by boths sides till the very end. The Stallions were leading the match 3-2 at halftime. Second half saw them score another 2 goals to make the score an emphatic 5-2. However, the opponents were undauntable and kept on fighting. Their perseverence paid off when they filled up the deficit till the score became 5-4. At the 88th minute, Khairi scored the most important goal for the former Dunmanites.

Final scoreline: 5-5.

2009-04-03T08:15:00.000-07:00

For this Sunday's match, 2 new players are playing on trial. If their trials are successful, they will go on to sign a permanent contract with the squad. We wish these talents all the best.

The March Transfer Window is drawing to a close and the gaffer has made a huge transfer deal to bring back former star Muhammad. The manager is no longer looking to sign new players as he is satisfied with the quality and quantity of players in the squad.

The March Transfer Window saw the transfer of 5 new players. 'A' Division champion, Firdaus Haji, has been signed on loan till 31st May. Syukri Omar has been signed on a permanent basis while Md Fadhil and Md Noor Adri has been signed on a co-ownership basis with Team Beeleaf and Pug Si respectively.

It is with great pleasure that we welcome former player, Muhammad, back into the team. The star player did not play any matches during his first spell at the club due to other personal commitments. He was released on mutual consent due to undisclosed reasons. He did appear on loan for one match after his release, playing against established giants Vikes FC.

Former player, Md Ridzwan, who has been transferred to CLS FC has extended his loan contract with Young SaviorZ CF until 30th April as his new club is still having a transfer break.

Other loan contracts with Young SaviourZ CF that have been extended include those signed by Firdaus Akbar and Md Mahir. They will play 1 last match for the affiliate club, after which their loan contract expires.

Bukit's loan contract with our affiliate club, however, will not be renewed.

2009-03-22T05:58:00.000-07:00

The free transfer of England-born midfielder, Nazri Nordin, has been confirmed. The foreigner was signed when his contract at Young SaviorZ CF expired at exactly 12pm today. We warmly welcome him to Thunderbolt Stallions FC and wish him all the best for his playing career here.

Transfer Updates

2009-03-11T08:29:00.000-07:00

The March Transfer Window has seen major transfers made by the manager, Farshad Chand.

Firstly, the bad news. Both Kenji Kwok and Khairil Kecik were unable to sign a contract with the team. The both of them have become legends in their own right, especially after winning the 'A' Division champion medals. Kenji cited academic committments while Kechik offered no reason whatsoever. However, the manager respects the decisions of both players and wished them all the best in their alternative endevours.

On the other hand, the legendary manager has secured several key transfers. The free transfer of England-born Nazri Nordin from Young SaviorZ CF has been confirmed. He will join the squad on 22 March which is when his contract with his former club will end. The transfer will mark Farshad's 1st transfer involving an English player. Nazri is also the club's 3rd foreign-born player, after Obaje and Darren.

Md Fadhil has also been signed on a co-ownership basis. His contract is now owned by Team Beeleaf FC and Thunderbolt Stallions FC with a percentage of 60% and 40% respectively. As per the stipulations, Fadhil will prioritise his committments to Team Beeleaf FC.

Md Noor Adri and Syukri Omar has also been signed onto the team. They have been scouted by Fadhil and thoroughly evaluated by Farshad. We warmly welcome them to Thunderbolt Stallions FC and wish them all the best during their time here.

The transfer saga of Muhammad is still on-going as the manager is still keen to re-unite with his former star player. Farshad and Muhammad are still teammates for street soccer team Street45. The manager, however, wishes to boost his squad with the transfer of such a key player.

2009-03-06T08:13:00.000-08:00

Thunderbolt Stallions FC are currently on a 1 month break to make way for the March Block Tests and March Transfer Window.

The manager is looking to sign more talents into the team. Currently, non-soccer team jc1s from MJC are being scouted by the manager and ad hoc scout, Fadhil, who is also a teammate of Farshad in Team Beeleaf FC.

Firdaus Haji has been signed on a temporary deal until May 2009.

An agreement has been reached to sign England-born Singaporean, Nazri Nordin, from Young SaviorZ FC on a free transfer. There are some minor issues to settle with the player himself before the deal can be finalised. When the agreement is reached, Nazri will be the 1st Englishman to be signed onto the team. He will also be the third foreign-born player to be signed, with Darren Chye and Joseph Obaje being the 1st 2.

The legendary manager is also looking to sign Muhammad on a co-ownership basis with Street45. The well-known player has impressed many while playing a match for TSFC on loan. Kenji Kwok, who has withdrawn from the MJC school team, is also a transfer target of the manager. The Dunman legend has played a tournament under the captaincy of the manager, Farshad. Together with the legendary Dunman NPCC team of 2007, they went on to win the championship among NPCC Units. The manager is now relishing the thought that they may play together once again. Hard-tackling leftback, Fakhrullah Barucha is another transfer target. The defender was also part of the championship-winning Dunman NPCC team of 2007.

Substitutes:
Munawar (on loan from: Team Beeleaf FC)

The match was well fought by both sides with the opponents playing a more beautiful form of the game as they had an added advantage of better team chemistry and the supervision of a coach.

The manager, Farshad, is utterly disappointed with the poor discipline displayed by his teammates. There was an unacceptable no-show by Sharif. Furthermore, Amir and Darren did not reply the calls while Umar and Obaje had to be called only for the manager to get a 'no' as an answer at the very last minute. The strikeforce missed the presence of tap-in finisher, Bukit, and the dribbling of Hyder who is out for a month due to a shin injury.

Without a doubt, a rematch is on the mind of the manager. With the 1st team.

We would like to thank all those who came on loan for making this match a success. We wish Fathin the best in his recovery. Honestly, we cannot thank you guys enough.

Summary:
A match well played by both sides plagued only by the poor offside calls by the referee. A fitting dubious goal scored by Ridzwan on what was meant to be his testimonial match for TSFC just before his transfer. He got a well-deserved standing ovation when he was subbed out in favour of the injured manager, Farshad, who wanted a more attacking approach to the game. We would like to thank Devesh for coming on loan. Mahir bravely held on to his injury till the final whistle. Only after the match was the severity of the shin injury seen. He will be out of action for 2 weeks.

We wish them all the best during their loan spells.

Upon close detailed contemplation, the manager, Farshad Chand, has decided to close the reserve squad of Thunderbolt Stallions FC due to managerial reasons.

Therefore, it is with a heavy heart that both Devesh and Zul are released. Devesh has appeared in 1 match, scoring 1 goal while Zul did not have the opportunity to do so. We wish these 2 reserve players all the best in their future endevours.

Shawn is promoted to the senior squad.

Thunderbolt Stallions FC 7-2 Cerous FC

The match was played at Teluk Kurau Sec with a relatively smaller pitch. The opponents, Cerous FC, have not been playing together for 3 months as the members have gone separate ways in National Service. They are, however, a force to reckon with in the amatuer scene. They have been in existence for 4 years. They have also won matches against Ashburton FC (3-1), Street45 (4-1) and Azureh FC (7-1). It is therefore a great achievement on our part to defeat them with such a huge scoreline. We have also made club history as this match is our biggest win, a difference of 5 goals.

Sharif, former White Sands Primary School team keeper was made goalie for 20mins into the 2nd half. He denied the opponents any chance of goal, reminiscene of his old self.

Amir made his debut on the bench, coming on at the 25th minute to replace Bukit. Despite his slow pace, the Gaffer was confident that he could adapt to their style of play. Zack appeared again on loan. This time, on the bench. It was only at halftime that he came on to replace the captain, Farshad. The star player, Ali, was benched to allow Alif Zulhilmi gametime. He did come on at the 20th minute to replace the player he was benched for. Obaje once again wore the armband whenever the legendary captain is off the pitch.

Upon detailed consideration, the manager, Farshad Chand, has decided to launch a reserve team in Thunderbolt Stallions FC squad. In official reserve matches, the team will be known as Azaraksh Castilla CF.

First signings were Devesh and Zul. Shawn has been demoted to the reserves from the senior squad due to lack of committment level. Free agents are warmly welcomed to request for inclusion. However, the manager will not inform these players of matches. The players themselves have to enquire for a place in the match squad themselves whenever they are free to play.

The manager is now looking to sign Ikhwan into the reserve squad. The well-known player has been featured on loan for the senior squad twice. Chand is now keen to sign him on a permanent reserve contract basis.

It was a tremendous victory for the stallions as we came back from a scoreline of 7-4. We came back from 3 goals down to take home a well-deserved victory.

The win was made even sweeter when the opponents were the same team that thrashed Ashburton FC 11-5. Ashburton FC the first soccer club that the manager, Farshad, has ever played for. He is still playing for Ashburton as a reserve goalkeeper.

It was a game brilliantly played by both sides with 2 of MJC's goalkeepers going head to head.

It is with a heavy heart that the manager has released Fahmi Ali from the team. He is currently serving his National Service at Pulau Tekong and will not be able to attend any matches. The contract was terminated by mutual agreement. The manager, however, did not rule out a possible re-contract of Fahmi once he completes his national duty.

Fahmi has been featured for only one match. A 4-3 victory against Winven FC. He scored a brilliant hat-trick and will most probably remain as TSFC's all-time Most Goals Per Game scorer with a record of 3.0.

We wish Fahmi all the best in his future endevours.

The following players have been signed recently:

TSFC 2-4 Chai Chee Sec Alumni

It was a match brilliantly played by both sides. Possesion was almost 50-50. However, the opponents made good of their chances by winning the match with last minute goals in the 87th and 90th minutes.

Hyder and Nashiran made it into the scoresheet. Hyder scored after a magnificient teamwork effort. While Nashiran scored from outside the box with a tight angle shot from the right flank.

Bukit disappointed everyone when he could not make full use of his chance in a point-blank situation. He had the keeper going down prematurely but he could not put the ball into the net.

The match was marred by poor decision-making by the referee which caused controversy in the TSFC camp. Most of his decisions were going against us. A goal from Chai Chee should also have not been allowed as the scorer was clearly in an offside position. There was also no budge whatsoever when Nashiran was clearly elbowed in the penalty box. The opponents were awarded freekicks for nitty-gritty fouls by TSFC players but TSFC players who were fouled were not given any consideration at all. Throw-ins and corners were also given wrongly to the opponents.

Mahir was stand-in goalie, coming on loan from Cerous FC, as the legendary Farshad was suffering injuries. The captain played as rightback instead.

Former Bedok Rovers player, Ali, was granted a trial upon his request. He was granted a role as left wingback in the 1st 11 as the manager foresees a great future for Ali and TSFC. He played tremendously well in his role.

MJC 'A' Division player, Obaje, also came on loan. He did a great job as sweeper and captain whenever Farshad sits himself on the bench to allow the substitutes a chance to play.

After the match, the trio of Hyder, Ali and Obaje were signed on a permanent contract basis.

Final scoreline:
2-4. An unfair loss to the Stallions.

Thunderbolt Stallions FC 8-3 Rossverton Alvista
Good job team! We played very well. As per the tactics.

Appearing on loan:
Hyder-MJC
Ikhwan-MJC
Haziq-Young GenerationZ
Asyraf-Young GenerationZ

The duo from Young GenerationZ had a 20-min spell each. While the MJC 'A' Division Squad duo both received full appearances. All 4 of them proved worthy of gametime.

Jing Yang "Bukit" earned his first hat-trick by capitalising on defensive errors by the opponents. Firdaus Akbar scored a screamer from 40 metres sending the opponent's goalkeeper, Mahir, scrambling for the ball in mid-air. The goal will always be remembered and is a definite contender for the goal of the decade. The goalscorer also scored another phantom goal from a mid-air outer foot touch using his right foot. Alif Zulhilmi scored from a header and Hyder scored twice from superb dribbling efforts.

The legendary goalkeeper, Farshad Chand, made 3 runs into the opponent's penalty box during corners to send the defenders in a frenzy. However, he could not capitalise even though he had a clear height advantage. These incidents come to no surprise to his teammates who are used to his eccentric style of play.

Azmi from the opponent's side scored a well-deserved hat-trick.

The 1st half was played much better than the 2nd. First half saw a display of amazingly efficient tactics masterminded by the manager. Second half was more of a free-for-all for the players as the manager knows that the match has already been won.

Final scoreline:
8-3. Victory to the Stallions.

Introduction

2008-12-11T01:36:00.001-08:00

Thunderbolt Stallions FC is founded by the legendary Farshad Chand in 2008.

It is founded for two objectives only:
1) For players to play for joy
2) To provide a platform for non-representatives of school teams to showcase their talents

The manager, Farshad, focuses more on beautiful entertaining play and skills than just playing to win. He also believes in relying on tactics than individual technique in order to achieve victory.
