Last weekend's game highlighted quite a deeply recurring issue for the team. In my opinion, it's been happening too often... and something needs to be done - fast. It seems that we have been unable to keep a cool head whenever we're on the field especially when things are not going our way. This usually results in us verbally having a go at each other and to me, that's really a BIG concern. It reflects badly on the team as a whole. I applaud the team's commitment and fire, no doubt about it, but the way we're displaying it and at each other is not appropriate. Please don't get me wrong 'coz I'm not pin-pointing any individuals as I firmly believe that we should ALL learn something from this. I'm putting this up on the blog 'coz it's not just our team that's faced with such an issue, other teams do experience such situations as well, and avoiding the issue doesn't help either. So let's be realistic, shall we?
If we have a problem with another team-mate's play, I agree we should let him know on the field immediately in order to take corrective action. Don't wait till half-time 'coz it might just be too late. I admit, I hate losing a game, friendly or otherwise, and I'm quite vocal on the pitch myself. But it's not wise to take the "hair-dryer" approach.. let them know how you feel and what you think constructively and then get on with the game. The person who's been told should also make an effort to give some thought into the comment... never, ever retaliate with equal measure 'coz it doesn't solve the problem! If you feel strongly about a remark, talk it over after the game. You can even bring it up here in the blog if you want to!
I know that talking is easy and when emotions are running high it's hard to think straight. But let's just take a step back and consider this: At the end of the day, during a match, the 11 players in the field and their opinions are the only ones that matter... those are the people that will stand with you, who'll fight with you, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, and who continues to strive valiantly with you for every inch... If you can't trust them, who can you trust?
So c'mon people..! If we don't fight as a team, we'll end up losing as individuals. Even a victory would leave a sour taste in the mouth, wouldn't it?

this is an interesting topic.It is very true that we are facing this problem and it is a great move by adrian to bring this up.we should tackle this problem before it consume our team.But frankly speaking, there are only a few players that are contributing to this problem and i don`t think giving names will help this situation.These players should know and rectify themselves .I understand that sometimes players are frustrated on the pitch but we should realise that creating this problem will not help but make it even worse.When a player made a decision to pass ,shoot or dribble, he has all the rights to decide what he is going to do with the ball.For the off ball players all we can and should try to do is to create space and call for the ball when u are in a good position but that doesn`t mean that the player with the ball have to release it to u.Mostly, if your position is good and the on ball player feels comfortable and confident enough ,he will pass.For another situation, where two players misunderstand , this problem comes up again.But the player who started saying things should realise that he is also involved and he can not expect people to read his mind.Eveyone is trying their best and giving their all to the team.Understanding between teammates is not a one way street.I just hope that orangeramblers players can encourage a player even when he misses or lose the ball and not yell or reprimand at that player.isn`t it better to say things like`good ball'or`try again' rather than `oi!!!! pass la' or `cross la' and whatever.For the players that know themselves ,do you realise that you make bad remarks when people do mistakes but other players encourage and keep quiet when u do mistake?This is not because other players are scared of you or think that you are indispensable ,it is just that we rather keep our energy and strength to continue fighting in the match rather than wasting our breath for something that produces negative outcomes.I really hope that one day we can sit and talk about it rather than having a forum in the blog cause not everyone participates in this blog.And for adrian good job again for bringing this up.Lastly , we must remember that teams with teammates that quarrel and argue always lose the game, if they win ,it is just luck.Joga Bonito(Play Beautifully)
well said ming and adrian...i totally agree with what u guys share..
no one is above the team..i knw all of us meant well for the team and wants to win badly but just sometimes got too emotional...keep a cool head next time..there is no point argueing amongst our own teamates while we are still at "battle" with our opponent..
we might win the battle by luck but for sure we will lose the war...
united we stand, divided we fall
You (the senior players or the managers) need to talk with those players who are doing the negative shouting, if it's a recurring theme.
Obviously nobody goes onto the pitch to lose so the assumption is that everyone is trying their best - the people who are doing the shouting should be made aware of this.
(If the player keeps making the same mistake over and over again, it's something that you should attempt to rectify in training or in friendly matches.)
If the situation doesn't improve in successive games (after 'the chat') then you have to substitute him off to get the point across.
Hopefully it's not the managers who are doing this negative shouting - if it is, a group of senior players have to go to the manager and talk to him about calming down, controlling his emotions and the negative effect it is having on players (and his own health!).
If the situation doesn't improve in successive games (after 'the chat') then I would consider getting a new manager/coach.
(I could tell you my theory of why I think some people shout too much /get too emotional about a game but I'll leave it for another time...)
everybody made a good point here..but can other players see this? i hope they do coz i really hope they understand every player's feeling towards this shouting with harsh words and dis-couraging words at each other when players do mistake.. please remember that "NOBODY IS PERFECT".. just try to give your best.. and i wan to say sorry to all the players too coz i know sometimes i cant keep my cool and those harsh words do come out once in a while :P .. thanks heng and adrian for keep reminding me :)
