FAM silap percaturan

DILEMA yang dihadapi jurulatih skuad Olimpik negara, Ong Kim Swee apabila anak buahnya terpaksa menempuh jadual padat November depan tidak seharusnya berlaku jika Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) menyediakan dua pasukan berbeza bagi Sukan Sea Indonesia dan pusingan ketiga kelayakan Sukan Olimpik London 2012.

Pengkritik sukan, Serbegeth Singh berpendapat, tindakan FAM menyerahkan tanggung jawab kepada skuad Olimpik untuk mengharungi kedua-dua kejohanan itu dalam masa terdekat adalah tidak logik.

“FAM kena buat pilihan sama ada untuk mengutamakan Sukan Sea atau pusingan kelayakan Olimpik. Tapi sebenarnya kenapa perlu membuat pilihan? Kenapa tidak FAM menyediakan pasukan berbeza untuk dua kejohanan itu? “Bila kita menyediakan pasukan berlainan ia akan mencetuskan persaingan antara pemain.

Bagi saya tidak logik untuk menggunakan pasukan sama untuk dua kejohanan itu, ini hanya akan menjejaskan pembangunan pemain muda,” kata bekas pemain kebangsaan itu.

Nasib skuad Olimpik negara ketika ini masih belum menentu berikutan jadual padat membabitkan kejohanan bola sepak bawah 23 tahun di Sukan Sea Indonesia dan pusingan kelayakan Olimpik London.

Final acara bola sepak Sukan Sea akan berlangsung pada hari penutup, 22 November manakala perlawanan kedua Kumpulan C Malaysia dengan Syria diadakan sehari selepas itu.

Jika Malaysia berjaya mara ke final Sukan Sea untuk mempertahankan pingat emas yang dimenangi di Laos 2009, sudah pasti perlawanan menentang Syria di Kuala Lumpur terpaksa dilupakan.


Mungkin perlawanan itu boleh ditangguhkan sehari ataupun selepas perlawanan ketiga dengan Bahrain pada 27 November jika permohonan FAM mendapat persetujuan pasukan lawan namun faktor kecergasan pemain juga perlu diambil kira.

Menurut Serbegeth yang turut dikenali dengan panggilan Shebbie, tiga perlawanan penting dalam tempoh seminggu (jika Malaysia mara ke final Sukan Sea) pasti menyukarkan pemain muda negara.

“Seharusnya Sukan Sea biarlah pasukan baru dan kita sediakan pasukan khusus untuk Sukan Sea dan Olimpik. Biarlah Sukan Sea untuk pemain lebih muda seperti bawah 19 tahun kerana kita perlu sedar Sukan Sea kejohanan pembangunan, jangan kita raikan kemenangan di Sukan Sea seperti kita menang Piala Dunia.

“Kalau kita lihat sekarang ada pemain yang beraksi untuk skuad Olimpik dan dalam masa sama turut bermain dengan skuad kebangsaan. Akibat aksi tanpa henti, prestasi mereka mula menurun, jadi kita kena ambil kira perkara sebegini,” katanya.

Malaysia yang layak ke peringkat kumpulan kelayakan Sukan Olimpik London akan memulakan kempen menentang Jepun di Stadium Tosu pada 21 September ini.

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...
