Harus teliti

ISU melarang pemain kebangsaan - yang bakal terbabit dalam misi kelayakan Sukan Olimpik 2012 - beraksi di liga tempatan ‘masih kabur’ tetapi Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) tetap melihat perkembangan itu daripada satu sudut positif.

Apa yang mahu dilihat nanti adalah perbincangan yang bakal diadakan dengan Kementerian Belia dan Sukan dapat memberi maklumat lebih terperinci mengenai pemain daripada skuad mana yang terbabit akan dibawa menjalani latihan di kelab luar.

“Pengurusan skuad kebangsaan seperti skuad senior, Harimau Muda A, Harimau Muda B dan bawah 23 tahun diuruskan berasingan. Oleh itu kita akan lihat bagaimana topik itu nanti,” kata Timbalan Presiden FAM, Tan Sri Annuar Musa, semalam.
Hujah itu dibangkitkan berikutan kenyataan panas Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek yang memberi cadangan mahu melarang pemain yang bakal digilap ke arah misi kelayakan Olimpik dikecualikan daripada aksi Liga Malaysia, khasnya Liga Super.

Apapun, bagi Annuar yang melihat usaha kerajaan itu ke arah satu kebaikan, dia sekadar merumuskan pendirian FAM dengan berkata: “Kecil tapak tangan, nyiru ditadahkan.”

Sementara itu, reaksi daripada beberapa anggota keluarga bola sepak tanah air turut senada dengan beliau yang rata-rata mengalukan cadangan kerajaan untuk mengumpul dan membentuk satu barisan padu yang boleh mengaum menepati status Harimau Malaya di persada antarabangsa.

Setiausaha Agung Persatuan Bola Sepak Selangor (FAS), Datuk Hamidin Mohd Amin, berkata larangan itu bukan saja mampu meningkatkan fokus pemain terbabit untuk menempah tiket ke Olimpik tetapi juga memudahkan mereka dihimpunkan dalam satu skuad serta menjalani latihan yang lebih seragam.
“Selain itu, mereka juga boleh dihantar berlatih serta menyertai kejohanan atau liga lebih berkualiti di luar negara bagi menimba lebih banyak ilmu dan pengalaman,” katanya diminta mengulas kenyataan Menteri Belia dan Sukan itu, semalam.

Hamidin berkata, larangan untuk pemain terbabit beraksi di liga tempatan tidak menjejaskan skuad Selangor menghadapi saingan Liga Super musim ini kerana semua tujuh pemain yang membantu skuad negara menjuarai Piala Suzuki AFF, baru-baru ini sudah melewati usia untuk misi kelayakan ke Sukan Olimpik 2012.

Pengurus Kelantan, Azman Ibrahim turut bersetuju cadangan supaya pemain yang dikenal pasti mewakili skuad kebangsaan untuk misi kelayakan ke Sukan Olimpik 2012 itu tidak beraksi di liga tempatan bagi membolehkan persiapan lebih rapi untuk skuad kebangsaan menghadapi kelayakan ke temasya itu.

Apapun, beliau berharap sebelum cadangan itu dilaksanakan, pasukan atau kelab yang mempunyai pemain yang dikenal pasti mewakili skuad kebangsaan itu haruslah dimaklumkan terlebih dulu supaya persiapan mereka untuk menghadapi saingan liga tempatan tidak terjejas.

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...
