A bit on the long side, but interesting read nonetheless

I was going to put up a picture of Martin Taylor’s tackle on Eduardo
But after much thought, maybe I’m just over-reacting
Yes, I hurt someone
But no, I did not break his leg
And of course no, it wasn’t intentional
It was the first time that such a thing had happened, and I guess I just don’t know how to handle/react to the situation
The incident made me realize that accidents can, and do happen
But I can’t help to feel that it could have been avoided
And in relation to Martin Taylor’s case, I initially felt anger and disgust at his action and didn’t feel that he was truly sorry about the incident. I couldn’t believe that it was just an accident.
But yesterday when I myself was the one who inflicted injury, I understood how bad he would have felt, and also how easily accidents can happen. I also felt sad when others were saying, although probably in jest, that I intentionally hurt Irsyad, when in all honesty the moment I saw all that blood my heart just left the game and that I was deeply regretful and sorry of what had happened.
Basically it just felt as though the whole world was against you. And that feeling sucked eggs
00:00 AM – Sighs
I feel so guilty
I wish that I had not done what I’ve done
I wish I could turn back time
I’d gladly take the hit instead
I’m so sorry Irsyad
I should have never gone for the ball like that
I feel so stupid now, someone got badly hurt due to my actions
Gah… What can I do to redeem myself?

I’m feeling a little down now actually
While playing football just now, something happened
Some guy (wanna say uncle, he’s not that old, wanna say brother, he’s not that young) commented that I played good
Personally, when I hear such things from random strangers, I’d just take it that this person is talking bullshit and just trying to strike up a conversation. And this time it was no different, I still thought the same
He asked me why wasn’t I playing in a club. He said if I wanted to, he could hook me up with some people at Tampines Rovers FC and I could train with them
Hell. I’d love the chance
Before we could exchange numbers, he had to leave
Fuck. There goes my chance
And that’s why I’m feeling down
I wished I’d asked him more earlier
Now all I can do is to wonder;
What if?
