Children, Cheerleaders and Coloured Balls

That is to say, if you want more pics of the 2010 Singapore Cup draw, head over to this article on the incomparable Bolosepako blog. There's quite a few pictures of the process - and what a, er, fascinating process it is. Quite colourful. I've chosen this photo for some reason. I'm guessing Miroamer will be loving the coverage. And why not? Being pictured next to a shirt with Canon as the sponsor can't hurt an internet technology company. Can we have more money now?

But seriously, it's a pity that Alex Duric ain't at Singapore Armed Forces any longer (he's now at Tampines Rovers) - if both us and SAFFC won their first round games, we could have met again, and what an unlikely meeting that would have been.

Oh yeah, the major sponsor...

... was also announced at the season launch. Miroamer has stumped up the cash for another season, making them the first company to go for the major sponsorhips in consecutive years since... well, I'm not sure, but it's been a while. Good to have them on board for another year, after it looked like it probably wasn't going to be thus at the AGM last year. George Parthimos, who was on hand to represent the company, made a quip about some of the complaints they've been getting from their German customers, that the signal drops out when they're driving at over 180 kph. Those crazy Germans.

Rock and/or Roll

Amidst much of the speculation for the coming season - our 50th anniversary don't you know - not much attention has been paid to who the possible candidates might be for the coveted - perhaps - major sponsor position on the commerative jersey. At last year's AGM, the question was asked if last year's sponsor Miroamer would be stumping up again; the answer was cautiously hopeful, but equally non-committal.

A random visit however The Age website showed that the company's internet car radio techonology is finally close to making its debut on the market. You can read about their technology, including quotes and stuff from South board member and Miroamer CEO George Parthimos in here. Who knows, maybe one day you could be driving to work and listening to the game all the way from Greece; or maybe some enterprising type could set up streaming broadcasts of VPL games to listen to when you're out on the road, maybe late for the game?
