Sportive Supportive

Suportif itu bagus, kalo diiringi juga dengan sikap sportif. Being supportive is good, if followed by sportiveness. I was at Bukit Jalil stadium to watch the football match between Malaysia and Indonesia for AFF cup final leg. 1. Supporters from both teams were yelled their support towards the team. The situation was quite secured and controlled at the beginning, but it turns out to be a little bit chaotic at the second half of the game. Malaysian supporters starts making an issue of pointing laser light to Indonesian goalie while he prepare for Malaysian team's free kick. It wasn't acceptable at all, since it could distract the goalie's focus and view. Another distraction and unacceptable behavior, is when Malaysian's supporters threw bottles to the field. Not only to the field, but also to us.

And yes, Malaysia won 3-0 over Indonesia. Disappointed? Sure.. but the disappointment is not only to the team that I supported, but more to the unacceptable behavior shown by Malaysian supporters during the game. Hopefully, this could be a lesson to learn for Indonesian's supporters not to do the same thing to the upcoming match at Gelora Bung Karno stadium, 29th Dec 2010. Fair Game, Fair Play, Fair Supporters!
