Karathu azam guna pengalaman 30 tahun hadapi Selangor

BERPENGALAMAN 30 tahun sebagai pengendali, kemampuan jurulatih baru Kelantan, Datuk M Karathu akan teruji kerana dia mempunyai hanya tiga hari untuk membimbing anak buahnya bagi menghadapi perlawanan sumbangsih pembuka tirai Liga Super, Piala Sultan Ahmad Shah, malam esok.

Begitupun, Karathu yang menggantikan B Sathianathan sebagai pengendali, mahu menggunakan segenap pengalaman panjang sebagai jurulatih itu untuk memastikan kemenangan The Red Warriors apabila berdepan Selangor di Stadium Shah Alam, malam esok.
Permulaan baik malam esok, katanya, sekali gus akan memudahkan misinya untuk membawa pasukan yang pernah dikendalikannya pada 1993 itu, memenuhi misi berada dalam kelompok tiga teratas Liga Super dan menjulang salah satu trofi utama musim ini.

“Saya yakin dapat memainkan peranan dengan baik dan boleh meningkatkan kualiti pemain, bagaimanapun saya tidak mahu terlalu menekan mereka kerana bimbang mentaliti pemain akan jatuh.

“Sebagai juara Piala Malaysia, pemain memang tertekan tetapi kita bermain untuk menang, sekali gus mengutip tiga mata,” katanya pada sidang media di Wisma Persatuan Bola Sepak Kelantan (KAFA) semalam yang turut dihadiri Naib Presiden, Rosmadi Ismail dan Sathianathan.

Pengumuman Karathu sebagai ketua jurulatih The Red Warriors dibuat Pengerusi KAFA, Tan Sri Annuar Musa malam kelmarin, selepas kerusi ‘panas tetapi penting’ itu kosong berikutan penggantungan enam bulan terhadap Sathia.
Mengulas lanjut, Karathu yang ditawarkan kontrak setahun sebagai pengendali, berkata dia akan mendapatkan pandangan daripada Penolong Jurulatih Hashim Mustapa dan Sidek Shamsuddin bagi persiapan menghadapi perlawanan sumbangsih di Stadium Shah Alam, malam esok.

“Memang saya tidak tahu kelebihan dan kelemahan (pemain) sebab baru hari ini berjumpa mereka. Saya memerlukan masa sehingga tiga minggu untuk tahu sejauh mana tahap setiap pemain.

“Oleh itu, saya juga akan minta tolong daripada Sathia dan penolong jurulatih untuk mengenali kebolehan pemain dan cara bermain, siapa boleh main di posisi mana dan sebagainya,” katanya yang berharap pemain akan segera dapat menyesuaikan diri dengan pendekatan dibawanya nanti

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...
