Rajagobal dilanda resah

PERSIAPAN skuad bawah 23 tahun (B-23) negara terjejas.

Semuanya gara-gara masalah kecederaan yang dialami oleh beberapa tonggak utamanya.

Mereka hanya ada masa lima minggu lagi untuk membuat persiapan sebelum memulakan misi pada Sukan SEA XXV Laos.

Perkembangan itu mengundang resah kepada jurulatih, K. Rajagobal. (gambar)

Selepas pemain sayap dari Kedah, Khyril Muhymeen Zambri terpaksa berehat panjang setelah menjalani pembedahan lutut, enam lagi pemain turut mengalami kecederaan ketika ini.

Mereka termasuk Amirulhadi Zainal dan Asraruddin Putra Omar (Selangor), Azmi Muslim dan Bunyamin Umar (UPB-MyTeam), Farderin Kadir (KM Naza) dan Muslim Ahmad (Harimau Muda).

Rajagobal tidak dapat menyembunyikan perasaan bimbangnya dengan situasi tersebut yang secara langsung menjejaskan persiapan mereka menghadapi dua tugas penting dalam masa terdekat.

Selain membuat persediaan menghadapi Sukan SEA, skuad B-23 negara ini juga akan menentang Uzbekistan pada 14 dan 18 November ini pada pusingan kelayakan Piala Asia 2011.

"Ada dua perkara yang saya risaukan iaitu keletihan serta kecederaan pemain setelah mereka beraksi dalam Piala Malaysia.

"Perlawanan akhir hanya akan berlangsung pada 7 November dan saya ada masa seminggu sahaja untuk membuat persiapan sebelum kita bertemu Uzbekistan.

"Selepas itu, kita ada seminggu lebih saja sebelum beraksi pada Sukan SEA.

"Jadi, saya nak semua orang yang memberi sasaran untuk kita memenangi pingat emas pada Sukan SEA memahami situasi ini.

"Siapa yang tidak mahu menang, tapi kita kena juga lihat faktor sekeliling.

"Apa pun, kami akan tetap mencuba yang terbaik ketika bertemu Uzbekistan dan juga pada Sukan SEA kelak," kata Rajagobal ketika dihubungi Kosmo! semalam.

Bagi perlawanan bertemu Uzbekistan, Rajagobal bakal menyelitkan dua pemain melebihi had umur yang ditetapkan iaitu kapten Selangor, Amri Yahyah dan kapten KL Plus, Norhafiz Zamani Misbah, tetapi memilih untuk tidak memanggil kapten Kelantan, Indra Putra Mahayuddin.

"Saya tahu Indra beraksi cemerlang bersama Kelantan. Tapi saya kena fikir bahawa sasaran utama skuad ini ialah Sukan SEA. Jadi saya perlu beri peluang lebih kepada pemain B-23 pada dua perlawanan bertemu Uzbekistan.

"Kita juga mungkin mengadakan satu perlawanan persahabatan menentang Indonesia pada 9 November sebelum turun menentang Uzbekistan," katanya yang akan memanggil semula pertahanan Kelantan, Ahmad Azlan Zainal, 23, bagi mengisi tempat Muslim yang cedera. - KOSMO

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...

As such, the Prime Minister said, it was important to scout for young talents in sports. "I observe that the Malaysia Games (Sukma) has become one of the important platforms to do so. "In this arena, the potentials and skills of the youngsters can be identified for development so that they can achieve greater success in sports," he said in his message in the souvenir book of the 12th Sukma from May 31 until June 9. Abdullah said he was aware that competition in sports was very keen and challenging but this did not mean that Malaysian athletes were incapable of competing at the international level.

Rajagobal Let Off The Hook

PETALING JAYA, April 24 (Bernama) -- National head coach Datuk K. Rajagobal was let off the hook by the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) Disciplinary Committee after finding no evidence that he had violated FAM's Article 88, as claimed. FAM Disciplinary Committee chairman Datuk Taufik Abdul Razak said the committee had decided not to charge Rajagobal after carefully analysing the video of the post-match press conference by the 56-year-old coach. "After listening to the recording of the post-match press conference, we decided to drop the charge against Rajagopal as he did not make such a statement. "Maybe his (Rajagobal) assessment and comments of the match was misconstrued by the media. There was no mention of the FAM policy throughout his comments," said Taufik after emerging from a three-hour Disciplinary Committee meeting at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya, here, Wednesday. Rajagobal who does not mince his words when asked to com...
