There have also been comments by football fans who questioned the need for the Sports School to inflict such a punishment on the Assumption Pathway School young footballers.
Some commenters felt that the competition was lop-sided and that the Singapore Sports School should not have pummelled the crap out of Assumption Pathway School.
There was also a suggestion of having enforcing an ‘unwritten’ mercy rule in amateur sports.
Another commenter sympathised with the Sports School and felt it was the format of the competition which forced teams to score as many goals as possible to ensure qualification to the next stage.
