10/2/22 Match Report Raider Reserves vs Fox Academy American Version
Apologize for the delay in writing the match report. It took me some time to craft my words for non-Americans. I will try to avoid American sports sayings and Trumpisms. Donald trump’s sayings are played out! Trump once said, “Show me someone without an ego and I’ll show you a loser”! The Raiders reserves braved […]

SIFL Cup – Saturday 24th September
SIFL Cup “What a great day for football!” Mark ‘2 yard thunderbastard Kenny’ hollered at the gods during the warm up, as they repaid him by cranking up the humidity by 10 degrees and removing all cloud cover.

Match Report: Raiders Reserves Vs Tri Hai
Following the SIFL cup final between Sporting and S#nts (which was like choosing who you would prefer to make love to your wife, your best mate or your brother…), the Raiders reserves were set to take on the Tri Hai select on a part flooded yet sunny field. If I am correct, we had two […]

However, since he can’t divide himself into two coaches for a match, interim coach Chris made an appearance and took the black team. Kickoff. The red […]

Match Report Tuesday 15th March 2022 – Saigon Raiders 2 – Saigon S***** 0
With the 5-2 Ashes drubbing fresh in the memory, Raiders arrived at the Tri Hai stadium in confident, buoyant mood, despite the brief 48-hour respite from seeing off an always pesky Japan side. They also arrived far more sober, with ‘Christ’ and Eric smelling more like their usual Africa Lynx Christmas boxsets than the underbelly […]

Vikings Match Report 20/11/21
The long trip to Gia Phu stadium for the Vikings ended in a respectable 2..2 draw against the home team of Wao FC. Ed Cascarino made his physical strength and determined running count with 2 goals. A fine display that fully deserved the man of the match award. A number of good displays are certainly […]

Raiders Match report 20/11/21
Away game… this time the Saigon Raiders actually had to leave their safe haven “D2” to play somewhere where they have never seen a foreigner before, a place where the dogs are on the BBQ and where they smoke Craven instead of Marlboro Light. The Vikings drew their game so it was time for the […]
