Laos v Malaysia: Will Raja like the scoreline?

On Sunday, Malaysia lost 3-0 to Singapore in their opening match of the AFF Cup.

Right after the match, national coach K.Rajagobal said; "I don't like the score(line)."

Tonight, the Harimau Malaya lads will take on Laos at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil (kick off 8.45pm).

At a press conference yesterday, Rajagobal was quoted by Bernama as saying;

"I know the game against Laos is very important to us and of course my focus is to clinch all three points. I will make (major) changes in the line up for the game against Laos but I cannot reveal who will be fielded or dropped."

Laos are no pushovers as evident in their match against Indonesia on Sunday. Both teams settled for a 2-2 draw.

So what will K.Rajagobal say after the match? Will he like the scoreline?

And how will the fans react after the match?

- Norshahrul Idlan Talaha is suffering from an ear infection and it remains to be seen if he will start in the match against Laos. At the same time he has signed up for Johor.

- Thailand is the first team to book a spot in the AFF Cup semi final after defeating Myanmar 4-0 yesterday.

- The Philippines managed a 1-0 victory over Vietnam in another AFF Cup match yesterday.

    This time around, all football fan out there can expect a win against Laos.
    At the same time we must also ask ourselves weather all the results in the tournament so far are real and no any other elements involved?

    As we all knew very well and clearly that SEA region is infested with match fixing syndicate.
    Teams like Laos,Vietnam,Myanmar,Indonesia and Thailand will and would be the easy target for these syndicates.

    Countries with strong financial strengths will normally dominate and will have the powers to dictate matters..."They can easily take advantage over the disadvantages that accompanies the society".

    To be fair, lets all wait and see weather there's going to be any suspicious decision or play (Match officials & Players)as the tournament progresses.

    If you ask me, I'm already feeling suspicious after watching Laos,Indonesia and Vietnam play.

    The game off the field will determined results.

    Lets seek some explanation from Datuk, Sepp Blatter and the gangs around the continents in relation to the matters, by firstly taking as an example the 1998 world cup finals between France & Brazil(3-0) and the 2002 world cup where the Koreans made it all the way to the semis with the support of the match officials(refs involved sent home by Fifa). Even the 2006 world cup where the Italian become champion with all the match fixing scandals surrounding Sherie-A.

    Any clues, anybody?

    HD,
    Ok. I'm willing to make judgement after the tournament but I'm afraid that even if we fail to win the tourney, those running the shows in FAM are still not willing to stand-up or responsible for the losses. As can be seen after S'pore match 2 days ago,only a tiny goalkeeper is man enough to own-up and apologize to the public whilst our "great" coach was blaming the players!!!

    Are we contented at becoming just champions of ASEAN?

    Has Rajagobal actually taken the national team to a higher level since AFF2010?

    Are we in position to challenge the 2nd tier of Asian footballing hierarchy?

    Can we match the likes of Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi, China etc?

    Are we ready for ACQ this February?

    So if we know the answers to the above questions, there should not be any excuses for not performing in the AFF 2012. Domination at ASEAN level should be a formality right?

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
