Ketiadaan Mat Yo Pada Hari Pertama Sesi Latihan Jadi Tanda Tanya

PETALING JAYA, 19 Feb (Bernama) -- Ketiadaan kelibat penyerang kebangsaan Norshahrul Idlan Talaha pada sesi latihan hari pertama skuad Harimau Malaya hari ini di padang latihan Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) menjadi tanda tanya.

Pengendali sementara skuad Harimau Malaya, Datuk Ong Kim Swee berkata sebagai pemain profesional, Norshahrul sepatutnya melaporkan diri pada hari pertama sesi latihan.

"Ini bukan kali pertama beliau dipanggil dalam skuad kebangsaan, sepatutnya beliau lapor diri dulu. Beliau perlu memberikan surat rasmi (tidak hadir latihan) bukan secara lisan sahaja," katanya kepada pemberita ketika ditemui di padang FAM, Kelana Jaya di sini.

Antara pemain skuad Harimau Malaya yang melapor diri hari ini ialah Mohd Baddrol Bakhtiar, Mohd Farizal Marlias, Mohd Safee Mohd Sali, Safiq Rahim, Mahalli Jasuli, Mohamad Aidil Zafuan Abdul Radzak, Khairul Fahmi Che Mat dan Mohd Badhri Mohd Radzi.

Selain Norshahrul, seorang lagi penyerang kebangsaan Mohd Amri Yahyah turut tidak hadir kerana masalah peribadi.

"Amri ada beritahu saya beliau tidak dapat hadir hari ini kerana masalah keluarga jadi kita tunggu perkembangan mereka," katanya.

Kim Swee berkata beliau lebih memberi penekanan pada bahagian pertahanan dan skuad kebangsaan tidak mempunyai masalah di bahagian serangan.

"Selain Mat Yo (Norshahrul), skuad masih ada penyerang seperti Mohd Safee Mohd Sali, Bobby Gonzales, Amri, Ahmad Fakri Saarani...yang penting adalah di barisan pertahanan," katanya.

Skuad Harimau Malaya membuat persiapan menentang Yemen pada perlawanan terakhir pusingan kelayakan Piala Asia 2015 di Dubai, Emiriyah Arab Bersatu (UAE), 5 Mac 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...
