‘Biar main stadium kosong’

Johor Bahru: Persatuan Bola Sepak Negeri Johor (PBNJ) mencadangkan agar perlawanan separuh akhir kedua Piala FA membabitkan Johor Darul Takzim dan Pahang di Stadium Bukit Jalil, Sabtu ini dilangsungkan di stadium yang kosong bagi mengelak insiden kekecohan di Stadium Darul Makmur, Selasa lalu, berulang.

Presiden PBNJ, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim bertitah lebih elok jika tiada penyokong menyaksikan perlawanan itu bagi menjamin keselamatan kedua-dua penyokong sama ada di pihak Johor DT mahupun Pahang memandangkan kekecohan yang berlaku di Kuantan, baru-baru masih belum reda.

“Saya tidak bantah beraksi di padang berkecuali tapi apa yang saya harapkan biarlah aksi Johor DT-Pahang dilangsungkan tanpa kehadiran penyokong kerana keadaan masih panas selepas insiden di Stadium Darul Makmur, Selasa lalu. “Keselamatan penyokong menjadi kepentingan buat saya tidak kira sama ada penyokong itu dari Johor DT atau Pahang. Mungkin tiada insiden berlaku ketika mereka berada di dalam stadium tetapi bagaimana keselamatan mereka selepas perlawanan. Apakah jaminan pihak polis atau Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) di luar stadium.

“Saya tidak cabar mana-mana pihak tapi pandangan ini datang dari rasa keprihatinan saya terhadap keselamatan penyokong. Kita tidak mahu apa yang terjadi di Stadium Darul Makmur berulang malah bola sepak lebih kepada menyatukan rakyat dan bukannya memecah belah antara satu sama lain,” katanya pada sidang media di Istana Bukit Pelangi, di sini, semalam.

Tunku Ismail juga menegaskan perlawanan membabitkan Johor DT-Pahang yang akan diadakan di sebelah petang tidak menimbulkan sebarang masalah namun berharap pihak FAM menerima cadangan supaya tiada penyokong hadir menyaksikan perlawanan itu.

Katanya, PBNJ akan menghantar surat rasmi kepada FAM bagi mencadangkan perlawanan itu diadakan tanpa kehadiran kedua-dua penyokong bagi memastikan kelancaran perlawanan itu tanpa diganggu gugat segelintir penyokong yang boleh mencemarkan bola sepak negara.

“Apa yang saya ingin tekankan biarlah perlawanan itu nanti diadakan tanpa gangguan kerana saya sedih melihat penyokong Johor DT terpaksa berada di stadium sehingga lewat jam 2 pagi kerana tidak dapat keluar dari Stadium Darul Makmur dan saya bertindak untuk mengarahkan pihak polis mengawal keadaan sehingga semua penyokong Johor DT pulang dengan selamat,” kata Tunku Ismail.

Not only are they capable of reaching the semi-final, they can go further," he told reporters after having lunch with national shuttlers here Thursday. National badminton Team manager Datuk Syed Abu Bakar Abdullah who echoed the minister's confidence said: "In Laos, nobody expected the women's team to win the world, so why not the Uber Cup?

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...

Malaysian junior athletes are just too ‘lembik’

Saya setuju. We are working on more coaches! “ @ManOlimpik : Malaysian junior athletes are just too ‘lembik’ http://t.co/7D7wmHWaNy ” — Khairy Jamaluddin (@Khairykj) June 10, 2014 The benchmark. Can our junior athletes train as hard as Malaysia's world No.1 badminton player, Lee Chong Wei? “IT IS okay lah. The training is not too bad lah. I will try lah … Wah, so hard lah today.” These are some of the common statements I hear from our juniors nowadays. It is not only in badminton. It is the easy-going, laid-back attitude and lack of competitiveness at grassroots level that we have problems producing quality players. I have travelled quite a bit. After ending my decade-long career with the national team, I went to play in the league in Europe. It’s different there. The European athletes know what they want. And they do it with real focus. Even the young ones possess admirable self-control and show a high level of commitment. During my time in the ...
