Poh's girlfriend Qiao Hui made an astonishing call for FFU defender Siang to be banned for life after his horror tackle bruised the leg of SIM's Poh inside the Cage game at Kallang's The Cage.

Siang, 23, who was not discipline by any officials, lost only a few strands of 'ka mor'. But Qiao Hui said: "That is a joke. The tackle was horrendous and I don't think that Siang should play again. When these tackles happen, they always say that he is not that sort of player. But you only have to kill someone once and you have a dead person.

"I knew something like this would happen one day. It goes with the idea that to beat Poh, you have to kick Poh. So I knew this would happen. The injury looks very, very bad but we don't know the extent of it at the moment.

"If you look at the tackle again, you can see that the intent is not to get the ball but to get the man. He is saying, 'Let's go for the shins and worry about the ball later'."

FFU were so upset at the allegations that they issued a statement on behalf of the club and the 6ft 4in Siang, regretting the incident and claiming that replays showed there was no malicious intent.
