Skuad bola sepak B-21 negara diberi tiga pilihan

HALA tuju skuad Harimau Muda A akhirnya terjawab.
Timbalan Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Razali Ibrahim tampil dengan menyatakan tiga opsyen yang akan dipertimbangkan untuk skuad bola sepak bawah 21 tahun (B-21) negara itu.

"Terdapat tiga pilihan. Pertama, menjalani kem latihan sepenuh masa di Slovakia serta bermain seba- nyak 12 perlawanan bermutu dengan kelab-kelab Liga 1 Slovakia berserta empat aksi persahabatan menentang negara-negara jiran Slovakia.

"Keduanya, attachment training bersama Persatuan Bola Sepak Korea (KFA) dan Kelab Bola Sepak Cardiff City, manakala yang ketiga ialah mengadakan beberapa sesi latihan di luar negara," katanya dalam satu kenyataan kepada media semalam.

Razali bersama-sama Ketua Pengarah Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN), Datuk Zolkples Embong dan Setiausaha Agung Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM), Datuk Azzud- din Ahmad semalam selesai menga- dakan lawatan kerja ke Seoul, Korea Selatan sejak Isnin lalu.

Jelas Razali, ketiga-tiga opsyen tersebut akan melibatkan kos yang hampir sama, namun keberkesanannya adalah menjadi pertimbangan utama kerana sasaran terdekat ialah untuk mempertahankan pingat emas di Sukan SEA 2011 Indonesia.
"Keputusan tentang pilihan yang mana akan dibuat itu hanya dapat ditentukan selepas Kongres FAM pada Sabtu ini (esok)," ujarnya.

Dengan pengumuman tersebut, maka hasrat untuk melihat Harimau Muda A beraksi dalam saingan penuh Liga 1 Slovakia 2010/11 membabitkan 36 perlawanan kini boleh dilupakan terus.
Sementara itu, Razali berkata, pada sesi perbincangan bersama pihak KFA, mereka telah mempelajari banyak perkara yang dilihat sesuai untuk aspek pembangunan bola sepak di negara ini.

"Aspek yang paling ketara ialah program pembangunan dan penyediaan pasukan kebangsaan Korea Selatan yang memperuntukkan perbelanjaan tahunan yang amat besar melebihi kira-kira 10 kali ganda peruntukan tahunan FAM.

"Malah jumlah untuk pembangunan bola sepak mereka juga melebihi bajet tahunan MSN," katanya.

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...

Badminton: Fans rooting for all-Malaysian semis

Reports: RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: The home fans will be rooting for an all-Malaysian men’s singles semi-final between Lee Chong Wei and Liew Daren. But Chong Wei is more fancied to advance than Daren in quarter-final matches against Indonesian Simon Santoso and Dane Peter Gade-Christensen respectively at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil today. Yesterday, Chong Wei defeated Vietnamese Nguyen Tien Minh 21-9, 18-21, 21-7 in a second-round match that saw the world number one struggling to adapt to the draught in the stadium in the second game. And Daren continued a fairy tale run in his home Open, blowing away a toothless Hsueh Hsuan-yi of Taiwan 21-14, 21-12. Although Choong Wei had to slog for the win over Tien Minh, the top seed and defending champion felt that he was playing better by the day. “I got off to a good start but found it hard to cope with the draught. I tried to catch up after losing my momentum but that did not happen and I decided to conserve energy for ...

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...
