Salah siapa semua ini?

Kuantan: Dua penyokong Pahang dan Johor Darul Takzim (JDT) cedera terkena objek dibaling individu tidak bertanggungjawab pada aksi separuh akhir kedua Piala FA yang melakar episod mendukacitakan di Stadium Darul Makmur, malam tadi.

Seorang wanita dipercayai penyokong Pahang terpaksa dibawa keluar polis selepas mata kanannya cedera terkena objek dibaling ketika dia dan lebih 7,000 penyokong tuan rumah terpaksa duduk di trek gara-gara stadium skuad Tok Gajah itu penuh sesak.

Seorang penyokong Johor DT pula memegang kepalanya selepas terkena balingan objek sekali gus menghidangkan risiko besar buat Persatuan Bolasepak Negeri Pahang (PBNP) terhadap tindakan yang boleh dikenakan Persatuan Bolasepak Malaysia (FAM) yang pasti berang dengan insiden ini.
Pertemuan yang diungguli Johor DT hasil kemenangan 1-0 di Stadium Larkin, Sabtu lalu itu gagal dimulakan mengikut jadual sebenar selepas 7,000 penyokong tuan rumah memenuhi trek, memaksa semua pihak terbabit mengadakan mesyuarat tergempar mencari jalan penyelesaian serta-merta.

Perlawanan dijadual bermula 8.45 malam tertangguh satu jam 40 minit sebelum pengadil perlawanan membatalkan aksi itu pada jam 10.25 malam.

Untuk rekod, Stadium Darul Makmur hanya mampu menampung 35,000 penyokong tapi 42,000 penyokong kedua-dua pasukan dianggar membanjiri stadium yang pernah menyaksikan anak didik Dollah Salleh menewaskan Johor DT, 3-2 pada saingan Liga Super, beberapa bulan lalu.

Bagi meredakan keadaan, Sultan Pahang yang juga Presiden FAM Sultan Ahmad Shah serta Presiden PBNP Tengku Abdul Rahman Sultan Ahmad Shah turun bertanyakan situasi sebenar kepada barisan pegawai perlawanan selain bertemu penyokong Tok Gajah di trek.

Berdasarkan peraturan Persekutuan Bola Sepak Antarabangsa (FIFA), setiap perlawanan tidak boleh dilangsungkan andai ada penyokong pasukan duduk terlalu hampir dengan padang kerana dibimbangi bakal mencetuskan keadaan tidak selesa pemain yang pastinya risaukan keselamatan masing-masing.
Penyokong Johor DT, Salehan Sakiran, 39, yang datang bersama rakan dari Muar kesal insiden ini berlaku dan menyifatkan ia berpunca daripada kesilapan PBNP kerana menjual tiket melebihi kapasiti stadium.

“Memang saya takut kerana kami kelompok kecil dan ia pastinya mengundang masalah. Saya harap ia tidak berlaku lagi dan memohon kawalan keselamatan diperketatkan lagi,” katanya.

Seorang lagi penyokong Johor DT, Rosli Shariff, 43, berkata, penganjur perlawanan perlu lebih peka dan tidak hanya memikirkan keuntungan semata-mata.

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...
