Inspired by Giggsy's hot chick last week, we have decided to open up a WAG of the week competition to all RMM members attending our games.
The competition rules is simple. Just bring the WAG to our games and we'll try our best not to ogle. Judging will be made by secret committee on Monday Night Football Focus.
The winning prize is.... eternal gratitude of RMMers!!!

RMM 2 Team DAVID 2
With Guvnor absent this week, team captain Iceman formed a 1 man selection panel for this game.
Luckily for the captain, he didn't have any selection headaches this week as true to our recent form, he only had 12 players to select from.
Foo did his best to complicate our captain's selection by handing in a request to play in the coveted goalkeeping position. Given the heatwave we are experiencing these days, there was a long line of players who had secretly wanted that position.
Iceman's hardest decision was to decide who will be dropped to the bench. Taking the easy way out, he dropped Shark who arrived last.
There was little action to report in the first 20 mins of the game with both teams playing without any real rhythm. Yoong who had not been playing regularly was the 1st player to be subbed. The poor guy walked off the pitch coughing and looking like he lost a lung somewhere on the field.
The introduction of Shark sparked off a bright spell for RMM and between then to halftime, RMM managed to score 2 goals via a great team move that Giggsy finished off and That, who had missed some sitters earlier.
During that time, poor Yoong hardly had any rest as other RMM players were queuing to be subbed.
The heat finally got to RMM in the second half. The slick passing game that we are all accustomed to was missing as moves constantly broke down.
The only bright spark in the 2nd half came when Batigol, (the bestest player in RMM that Guvnor should be building a team around) was deployed to the right. It was felt that his skills, pace and power would cause damage there and it proved to be the right decision as he was a constant threat on the wings skinning the leftback with consummate ease with his lightning pace.
Like all superstars (ie ronaldo), he had a very frustrating afternoon as his less gifted teammates struggled to put away chances that he had created via his superb pin point crosses. Yoong (who later apologised) even dared to air kick 1 of Batigol's sublime crosses. It was obvious that the gulf between RMMs best and the rest was vast.
Disaster then struck when Team David pulled 1 back from an innocuous cross / attempted shot from the left mid that left Foo bewildered. Whilst the rest of the team were expecting an easy catch from the keeper and had turned to walk away, the stand in keeper flapped and did a pirouette before watching the ball bounce, hit the post before rolling in the net.
That took the sails out of RMM and more comical defending crept in. The twin towers in the middle of defence, Jason and SiYeh did their best impression of a pinball machine by letting the ball ping on and off them to great effect.
RMM finally caved in and conceded the equaliser. (Not so) Speedy's weak assed goalkick was returned back via airmail towards the box and again the Twin Towers were caught in all sorts of tangles. Somehow, the white haired Team David forward (who is probably 112 yrs old) managed to sneak past everyone to poke the ball past Foo.
The rest of the game passed without any incident with both teams relived to hear the final whistle to earn respite from the heat.
Not a good game. Not a good result.

Team spirit - RMM style
Those who had a good laugh at Ronaldo's strop v City should have seen RMM's very own version after today's game with Team David (I know, hardly as creative as 'RMM' is it?)
A certain RMM player (who shall remain anonymous but I have to mention has been cited for bad behaviour in our previous match report) threw a big tantrum at the end of the game after exchanging some words with teammates. The aforementioned player was first heard arguing that he had put in many crosses (no mention of the quality of those crosses of course) and then seen throwing his water bottle petulantly before hastily packing his bags to leave. While stomping his way out, he exchanged further words with team captain Iceman before finally leaving.
There was heated debate amongst teammates on what had caused the meltdown of this normally mild mannered, well behaved and cultured person.
Some of the theories they came up with were:
- He's not the team player his hero Dirk Kuyt is so he hated playing out of position on wide right
- The afternoon heat fried his huge brain
- He wanted to show off his machoness in front of Joe's hot chick
- He's actually a 9 year old boy stuck in a fat man's body
- He's an ass (or he has a big ass - I can't remember)
Anyone else who has any other theories or think they have the answer, please share ;)
RMM v Beach Boys - MATCH REPORT
Finally the damn report from last week's game...
Big thank you for Iceman for the following report:
RMM vs Beach Boys, Kg Pandan Sports Complex
A brief match report from the stands...
RMM (1) 1 Kee Pin
B.Boys (0) 0
Squad & starting line up: Meng, Snake, JJ, J.Yap, Si-Yeh, Guvnor, Joe, Jeff, Phoon, Gary, Kee Pin (yeah, only 11 guys turned up)
Another test of character and strength for RMM as we only had 11 players for this game. Meng was handed the task of keeping a clean sheet in the 1st half and had trouble putting on the gloves! Despite some scary moments, he managed a shut out. A loose back pass early in the game let the opponent striker through, despite getting past Meng he could only roll the ball across the open goalmouth from a tight angle. Minutes later, Meng somehow prevented a goal with a combination of his hands and foot when a dangerous freekick was curled in.
The game was a pretty scrappy affair as both sides struggled to string passes together. Midway through the 1st half, a clever pass out of defence from Si-yeh found Guvnor in space who quickly played Keepin in. Going one to one with the keeper, he collided with the keeper (claims he was fouled) and the ball was cleared off the line. Gary retrieved it on the right and quickly(well, it looked quick) sent in a cross. The ball came back a little behind Keepin who shockingly was able to hook the ball into the far corner of the net! 1-0 and some light celebrations... Halftime came without anymore interesting incidents.
Si-yah swapped position with Meng for 2nd half and almost gifted a goal when he failed to deal with a loose pass. Fortunately, opponents did not have their shooting boots on. Chances beginning to appear on both ends as players begin to tire and the best one fell to Guvnor, who failed to finish a great cross by the legendary Jeff who was operating on the left. Then one of our worst fears happened, as we had to play with 10 men for the rest of the game... no thanks to Snake. Instead of clearing his lines, Snake took the ball back towards goal and then changed his mind and tried to turn around again. But his foot refused to follow his mind and kicked the ball towards our own box. Opponents easily ran past him to pick up the ball but JJ sensing danger made a crucial goal saving challenge. However, the tackle took JJ out of the game as well. 10 v 11.
Moments later, we were almost down to 9 men when Snake got injured doing nothing... maybe guilt. After few minutes of drama, Snake took over as keeper. RMM reshuffled lineup with Joe dropping into defence n Keepin into midfield. We managed to hang onto the lead till the end for another win.
Sad to mention there was a little ugly incident near the end involving Gary and Joe. Hope that doesn't again.

RMM 1 Beach Boys 0
As we are currently experiencing a distinct lack of match report writers (the liverpool supporting writers are pouting and on strike), the following is an abbreviated version that would have been written by a Malaysian scouse (as suggested by Guvnor):
“...........a beautiful floated cross came in from Batigol a true Liverpool (a team which is the bestest in the world eventhough we won nothing again this year) supporter, which somehow bounced off the shins of Shark (boo-boo Man U supporter, who Rafa says is not the best team to win the championship) as he tumbled over his shoe laces. The ball which dinked off his shinpads floated in the air forever before nestling at the back of the net much to the surprise of the opposition goal keeper who did not anticipate the ball to go so slow. By the way, reliable sources indicates that the said keeper is also a Man U supporter so that explains why he let in that soft goal...................”
A longer more accurate version on the match report will be coming soon (hopefully).
Do note that the only goal of the game was a superb first time volley from RMMs all time highest goalscorer who now plays a John O'Shea type of utility role (mostly @ left back or as a reserve keeper).

Welcome to the world of RMM
The club was established in 1991 by a bunch of school leavers who decided to form a football team to help keep their beer guts in check.
Recruitment was done in pubs, bars and clubs all over the Klang Valley.
In the early days, our games weren't organised as it was mostly a rag tag bunch of unfit (then) youngsters kicking a ball about in the Universiti Malaya campus fields.
We then managed to recruit enough like minded individuals (young virile men who liked a drink or 2 accompanied by a bevy of women) who wanted to sweat it out a bit on Sunday afternoons as well.
The name Real Mucho Malatt was coined under suprisingly sober circumstances during a Mamak session in SEA Park, PJ.
We felt that the name truly reflected the spirit of the team; a bunch of malat lous who liked a drink or 2 accompanied by a bevy of women.
Whilst the team results have had it's up and downs over the last 18 years, the spirit of the team has remained the same.
Now a bunch of middle agers, RMM members (old and new) still strives to retain that original RMM spirit.
