Foul!

Sekali lagi banyak peroalan timbul berkenaan isu NS Betaria bermain dalam Liga M 2013. Kelab Negeri Sembilan tersebut telah disingkirkan oleh Persatuan Bola sepak Malaysia (FAM) beberapa hari yang lepas. Namun, terdapat berita bahawa keputusan tersebut telah ditarik balik semalam dan NS Betaria kini akan beraksi dalam Liga M musim depan. Persoalannya; 1. Apakah alasan FAM untuk menyingkirkan NS Betaria? 2. Adakah jawatankuasa atau individu-individu dalam FAM mempunyai bukti tentang sebarang "kesalahan" (jika ada) yang dipercayai dilakukan oleh NS Betaria sehingga mereka perlu disingkirkan? 3. Awal tahun ini 11 pemain Piala Presiden Negeri Sembilan tidak dibenarkan terlibat dalam bola sepak kerana dipercayai terjebak dalam rasuah bola sepak. Mengapakah pasukan tersebut tidak disingkir dari bermain dalam Liga M? 4.Sebanyak 10 pasukan dalam Liga M tidak membayar KWSP, Pertubuhan Keselamatan Sosial dan cukai pendapatan pemain masing-masing yang keseluruhan berjumla...

Kronos! Well that's an Italian sportswear brand which was once donned by Argentina's star Gabriel Batistuta. In Malaysia, Kronos sponsors MP Muar FC and KL (Super League and President's Cup teams). It also sponsored former international B.Rajnikandh, who is now the team manager of NS Betaria. Certainly Kronos is not going to jeopardise its name in light of the recent match-fixing allegations against MP Muar FC and NS Betaria. Read what Paragon Vest - the distributors of Kronos in Malaysia - has got to say in today's Mailsport . HD says: Finally some form of sponsorship for KL...

I received a phone call from a man who identified himself as Alias and claims to be the lawyer for both Rajendran Kurusamy (who was charged for match-fixing last year) and MP Muar FC. As I told him and I would like to stress once again - a spokesman from the FA of Malaysia (FAM) confirmed Pos Malaysia, NS Betaria and MP Muar FC are being investigated for elements of match-fixing. Also, Tunku Ismail Idris - the Crown Prince of Johor who was just named Johor FA president - revealed MP Muar FC and NS Betaria are monitored by the Police (as per his tweet on Feb 10, 2012 - pic ). I managed to obtain comments from officials of NS Betaria and MP Muar FC and they expressed shock - as seen in today's Mailsport . HD says: Oh well...just another day in office :)

A Pos Malaysia coach visited the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission in Putrajaya yesterday morning followed by a meeting with FAM assistant secretary general Ahmad Fuad Daud at FAM in the evening. He has lodged a police report in Sepang a day earlier. I confronted the coach at Wisma FAM and he spilled the beans, claiming to have " evidence " on those involved in match-fixing. After much persuasion , he admitted to having text messages and recordings as prove of football bribery but did not want to show or reveal further. When I asked if he is also involved but is now trying to cry victim, the coach smiled and said; "I challenge them to provide dirt on me but I know I have evidence against them." Pos Malaysia, NS Betaria and MP Muar are the three SENIOR teams that are currently being investigated by the Police and the FA of Malaysia (FAM). Even the Crown Prince of Johor, who will be officially named the Johor FA president today, revealed the same on his twitter pag...
