Arul pilih 22 pemain terbaik


Kuala Lumpur: Ketua jurulatih skuad hoki remaja negara Arul Selvaraj perlu membuat keputusan tepat memilih 22 pemain terbaik sepanjang saingan Liga Hoki Remaja Malaysia (MJHL) untuk dipanggil menyertai kem negara buat kali pertama dalam usahanya membentuk skuad baru.
Bekas penolong jurulatih skuad kebangsaan itu nyata kesuntukan masa untuk memilih barisan pemain terbaik dan atas faktor itu, beliau perlu membuat keputusan bijak.

“Memang jika mengikut perancangan awal saya nak pilih seramai 40 hingga 45 pemain sebelum mengurangkannya kepada 25 hingga 30.

“Tapi saya sudah tiada masa untuk melakukan proses pemilihan seperti itu kerana perlu membentuk pasukan seawal mungkin. Sebab kami akan menyertai saingan Divisyen 1 (Liga Hoki Malaysia) bulan depan. “Saya akan memilih 22 pemain daripada penilaian dalam saingan liga dan tiga lagi pemain berdasarkan pemilihan di luar liga untuk menjadikan keseluruhan 25 pemain,” katanya ketika dihubungi semalam.

Arul berkata, dengan Piala Remaja Asia, satu-satunya saingan yang menawarkan tiket ke Piala Dunia 2016 berlangsung pada tahun depan di lokasi yang belum diumumkan lagi, beliau perlu mempersiapkan pasukan mantap seawal mungkin.

“Saya bukan hanya memilih pemain hebat dengan skil di atas padang, tapi mereka yang juga bijak sebab hoki moden memerlukan setiap pemain membuat keputusan dengan cepat,” katanya.

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...

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...
