Malaysia Cup: The Grand Battle

An epic battle awaits Armed Forces (ATM) and Kelantan at the Shah Alam Stadium come October 20.

Having brushed aside LionsXII on Thursday, ATM are in the midst of working their tactics while The Red Warriors are still celebrating after having managed a 2-0 win over Selangor in the return leg of the semi final yesterday (aggregate 3-0).

Mohammad Ghaddar drew first blood with by chipping the ball past Selangor's goalkeeper while Badri Radzi sealed the deal in the dying minutes to ensure Kelantan continue their hunt for another trophy.

Both ATM coach B.Satianathan and Kelantan coach Boyan Hodak know each other well enough - so well that they will still end up having a beer or two despite the result on October 20.

Will the disciplined ATM side steal the thunder or could the Red Warriors - full of soul and character - add another silverware in their trophy cabinet?

All will be answered come Oct 20.

HD says: It was a really good match. Lot's of great runs, passes, shots and saves. The M-League is alive and kicking!

    Gomo Kelate Gomo. Hopefully, they can attract more sponsors and quality players for the AFC Cup Project 2.0.

    Did they already receive their share of ticket collections for the FA Cup finals?

    Even though Lions XII would also have been a good opponent for Kelantan, ATM deserve to be there!
    NO doubt that Kelantan would triumph over a pathetic Selangor who really have to get rid of some deadwood who promise much but deliver none. Selangor had mediocre foreign players even after changes in early season. Bosko have also learnt to play like the locals as the season progressed and ultimately collected a red card in the Semis. We need to have foreign players who are discliplined & focussed to set a good example for the local players.
    Anyway,looking forward to a great final on Saturday, 20 Oct.

    Hope for Kelantan AFC Cup 2.0 campaign, they could find more quality and recognize imports to spearhead the challenge. I have heard Mikael Silvestre is willing to play in Asia. Do not waste money on players that are barely better than locals. Good luck for PM finals and next season.

From 'Mr P' to 'Kemelut Dalaman BAM': Four chapters of 'mesej Whatsapp layang'

Image
Surat layang , or rather ' mesej Whatsapp (or some will pronounce as Wasup) layang '. That was what I received this afternoon from a number that is not registered on my phone. The sender identified him/herself as " ahli yg memerhati tingkah laku BAM " (Badminton Association of Malaysia). The four chapters were titled as:  'Siapa dia Tan Sri BAM "Mr P"' Perletakan Jawatan Presiden BAM 'Siapa Tengku Zafrul' Kemelut Dalaman BAM There were many allegations to which the sender justified as not " fitnah " but " hakikat apa yg berlaku ". The four chapters highlights Mr P's "connection kuat ", goes into why Tengku Zafrul was named as the incoming BAM president, and takes issue with the establishment of 'Yayasan Badminton Nasional' and Akademi Badminton Malaysia. The writer (unsure if the sender is also the writer) also wrote that ' majority in the Council dalam BAM semua tak berani buat laporan sebab tak

Ramlan saga - Part 3

UPDATE (May 23, 2012: 12.06pm): Dilema JKR, 'dua' ketua pengarah - this was brought to my attention. Read here for more. ----- I first wrote about the effort to remove National Sports Institute director general Dr Ramlan Aziz in March - as seen here . Then I wrote about the same subject again early May . I was invited to be a guest for this week's Kafe Sukan but had to decline as the recording was done on Sunday - the same day I left the country. Apparently Ramlan's predicament was discussed. Despite receiving numerous SMS-es - for and against what was discussed - I will refrain from commenting as I have yet to view the show. I have also been told there are efforts to get certain people to replace Ramlan. To me that is secondary. I have still not obtained the answers to these questions; 1. According to the NSI Act, only the minister can hire or fire the director general. Has the minister issued such a directive? 2. According to the country's Lab
