Foul!

Duit poket lebih kurang 5 euro (RM23) sehari dikatakan menjadi punca beberapa pemain diketuai penyerang Faizal Saari berasa tawar hati untuk terus menyarung jersi skuad hoki negara selepas hanya menerima sejumlah RM500 bagi kunjungan ke Piala Dunia di The Hague, Belanda dua bulan lalu. That was taken from the backpage of Harian Metro today. If true: 1. Who and/or which organisation was involved in allocating and/or handing out funds to the hockey players? 2. Who determined the figure of RM500 and on what basis? 3. Why was it right to send selected officials (with their air tickets fully sponsored) to Holland during the same duration instead of allocating the same funds to the athletes? 4. What has been done to address the brewing problems within the national hockey team? 5. What is the finding of a team that has been assigned to look into the "issues faced (if any)" within the national hockey team? 6. Are the players' welfare truly protected - not just i...

I was wrong in my 'ramalan'. Based on their current form and the team's build up especially throughout the Malaysia Cup, I thought Kelantan would defeat Pahang 2-0 in the final. Instead, Pahang's Argentinean star Matias Conti ( pic ) scored the solitary goal of the match and it was enough for Pahang to clinch the title they last won in 1992. It was a different Kelantan on the field, especially in the last 15 minutes of the match. Pahang clearly had more fire compared to the Red Warriors. 'Tok Gajah tamat kemarau 21 tahun' as reported by Harian Metro and Pahang ends 21-year wait, as reported in The Malay Mail today. This marks the end of the 2013 season which, sadly, has been plagued with the same problems - players not being paid wages on time, claims of match-fixing, horrible playing ground, ticketing issues and fans lighting up flares at the stands. It also saw changes within the FA of Malaysia - mainly Hamidin Amin replacing Azzudin Ahmad as the g...

Shahidan Kassim menafikan dakwaan beliau meninggalkan mesyuarat agung tahunan Kesatuan Olahraga Malaysia pada Ahad lepas, sebaik mengetahui gagal mempertahankan jawatan presiden badan induk sukan olahraga negara itu bagi penggal 2012/2014. Itu merupakan laporan Bernama. Ini pula artikel Harian Metro ; Beliau (Zainal Abidin Ahmad) meluahkan rasa tidak berpuas hati dan berang dengan tindakan Shahidan yang terus meninggalkan lokasi AGM di Dewan Komanwel, Bukit Jalil sejurus tewas dalam pertandingan. Kemuncak drama dalam KOM berterusan dan ketika Zainal mempersoalkan sikap tidak profesional Shahidan, adakah beliau sendiri profesional dan memiliki ciri-ciri ketenangan selaku seorang presiden? Soalan ini menjadi perbualan media apabila beliau tidak mahu mengadakan sidang akhbar untuk mengulas kemenangan dan perancangan masa depannya. Hmm... Saya amat berharap presiden baru (Zainal) sudi minum teh bersama saya dalam masa terdekat ini. HD kata: Bangsar boleh, Bukit ...
