    Good Afternoon, does anyone happen to know how I can watch the Al Shabab vs Al Ettifaq game that is currently playing? 2 players that I follow recently got signed by Al Ettifaq and I would like to see their games if possible.

    That's easy. He can just keep selling Wehda players to Al Ahli and he'll have like 300% income. :D

    Interesting interview with the new president of FA. Of course there will always be good things to hear which may not happen after all but anyway here are some highlights:
    -I like the idea of bringing Clattenburg as the head of refereeing and actually be the official in 4-5 games each week and the plan to improve the local officials. He seems to have some good ideas about the technology to help the referees doing their job so let's see how it plays out.
    -The former FA owes 91 million SR (!!!!) to the ministry of Finance as payments for Rijkaard's contract. The current FA can do nothing but pay that now. Absolutely disgraceful.

    Saudi Clubs start there campaign in ACL -

    Al Tawoon beats Lokomotive 1-0 in Qassim, in which surprisingly fans filled the stadium to almost full. Cant understand why cant they come and support the same in league matches.

    Eshteglal Khuzestan beats Al Fateh in Oman 1-0. Fateh wont be playing to be in the competition for long as they battle for remaining in the league.

    Hilal meets Persopolis in Oman tommorow and Ahli meets Bunyodkor in Jeddah.

    Both sides were terrible. I can understand Ittihad's situation but Nassr? They were toothless. Anyway Ittihad deserve something to celebrate for considering what they have been going through.

    BTW it's funny to see no cries from Ittihad's players when Kahraba took that shot while Nassr's player was down injured and pretended he didn't see him. :D I guess this is how they express taking the moral high ground.

    Agree..both sides were terrible ...Fawaz actually saved the match for us with some good saves...

    I don't when did this happen but ofcourse my eyes were open enough to see no player was down inside the GK area and to make the play dangerous..

    Check at 5:35. If we say Ansari didn't see him, then both Kahraba & Villanueva saw Awad Khamees was injured. Villanueva was the one who tackled him and then got the ball from Ansari and passed it, and Kahraba (as you can see from the replays) has a clear vision to see Awad was down before he receives the ball and shoot it.

    Both Hilal and Ittihad saw a player injured and continued their attack to score, so they aren't different after all even if Hilal scored that goal, because we are talking about the means and not just the end result here.

    No again..There is a huge difference where a player is lying injured...Khamees was no near the GK or might get more hurt if players jump near him n trip which was the case of Yaseen Hamza..He was lying injured in a very dangerous position and the Hilal player who passed the ball had enough time to see a player down in the field near the Goal...

    Plus if you say both team continued to attack..It was Hilal who was attacking and had the ball so the responsibility falls on them...

    I disagree, the outcries were that you shouldn't attack (or score) when a player was injured, and not just the safety of the player injured, otherwise we would've heard a lot of protests whenever a play goes on after player falls down from an aerial challenge with another player, because the resulted injury (like elbowing a player or a head-to-head collision) can be just as bad a GK clashing with a CB, and we've seen plenty of cases were the play just goes on and the ref doesn't blow his whistle.

    So yeah I think Ittihad are very similar to Hilal (and every other team), the only difference is Hilal has scored this time, and at some point in the future I'm sure some other team will score just like that but I don't think we will get the same reaction to it, just like we didn't hear all these conspiracy theories when Ittihad won the cup final settled by an offside goal.

    Congrats to Ittihad, hard luck to Nasser... Ittihad's goal was from off-side but it got missed out by the linesman.

    First, the goal was not offside ..:) ( But a close call if it really matters).

    Second, I agree with you on many points but not at the situation you got the goal..The play goes on when the ball runs in other direction or everything happens quick in the D-box...Here, the player who crossed the ball again after it was out of play from the D-box , had enough time to realise that he can push the ball away to stop the game and make referee attend the injured player, which in this case did not happen...

    Come on, it was offside. :D

    Yeah I agree It's too close to decide and very difficult for the assisting ref, but I meant if Hilal was the team who benefited from that same mistake we will be hearing about conspiracy theories until this day.

    Anyway, to be honest I prefer it more if Hilal scored in different way, and I will hate it if my team conceded a goal like the one it scored vs. Itti, but I don't like how this incident was singled out like it was ruining football but the embarrassing stuff happening on the field was OK.

    On an another note, Sami is still struggling with Shabab who lost at home 1-2 to Faisali. It's rumored even more key players could leave the club, so the future doesn't look that bright.

    Ahmad Al Fraidy left Al-Nasr and joined Al-Jazira of UAE.
    He made a right choice because Al Nasr ruined careers of many great players starting from Fahad Al Ghashyan, Saad Al Harthy, and of Naif Al Hazzazi almost to this point that he's become a dead weight for the club and the national team. Since Fraidy was not given most of the opportunity on the field and was normally benched, the Saudi National Team coach did not selected him for a re-run in the Saudi national team. He made a right choice since he was losing game practice ... he will surely succeed in Al Jazira and hopefully would catch the eyes of Saudi National Team selectors. All the best to him.

    Is it official? I can't find anything. When the club's president was asked about him he said he doesn't know where he is.

    From this pic it doesn't look like offside. Did Al Ittihad score the goal? I started to like them specially when they play against Al Hilal or Al Nasr. :D

    Yeah the goal was scored from this play. The left knee of Ittihad's player #10 was already inside the box while all the Nassr players were either outside the box or at the edges, so technically it's an offside.

    it would be better if Fraidi joins Al Hilal (don't know why he left Hilal in the first place)...
    Naif needs playing time on the field and it would be better for him to join a club that can play him on the field for full 90 minutes so that he gains his rythem, momentum and lost form.

    His financial demands were too high back then, so he decided to play elsewhere. I don't think the club made the wrong decision by not giving in.
    He is too expensive for other clubs (Nassr brought him for 35 millions), and his recent performances won't help in convincing the bigger clubs. Hilal looks to be set with Leo, Eduardo, Omar, and Yasser (the money better be spent on buying Omar's contract than Naif's), Ahli have Somah and Mohannad, Shabab and Ittihad are too broke to sign him unless he takes a significant pay cut, and I don't think Taawon, Ittifaq, or Quadisiyah can afford him (or he will want to play there) so maybe he should focus on improving his form in the coming preseason under the current coach, but he needs to take his decision smartly because it could be his last big contract in his career.

    Fraidy always has attitude issued with the clubs where ever he plays and that is the problem of him..I remember even Saudi NT once told that he needs disciplined players in the squad and not who are here for there own business and that was one of his conditions when he asked Nasser Shamrani to play ..And thats the problem with Mukhtar Fallatah too.. He scores whereever he plays but Yes your attitude matters coz you want to maintain your dressing room

    Naif is down the pecking order in Nasser.. Sahlawi , Raheb and Hazazi..The injury he got sucks and ruins careers of many players.. I hope he comes back to Ittihad as back up for Ahmed Akaichi if he stays for another season..Abdul Rahman Ghamdi is good but he needs more playing time else where with mid table clubs like Tawoon or Ittifaq..
