It was painful to watch...

...Trent Milton scoring a goal in the dying minutes as Australia bagged the Azlan Shah Cup with the final score of 3-2.

However, the Malaysians were the first to start the ball rolling thanks to Faizal Saari. Australia equalised through Nicholas Budgeon and later took the lead through Carig Boyne's effort.

Tengku Ahmad Tajuddin made it 2-2 for the host team but it wasn't enough as the team from Down Under stole the limelight in front of a packed stadium in the final minutes of the match.

This is Malaysia's fourth appearance in the final but they have yet to win the tournament.

It was also painful to watch the friendly (football) match between Malaysia and Saudi Arabia at the Shah Alam Stadium yesterday.

The Harimau Malaya hardly threatened the visitors as the Saudis were two goals up at half time courtesy of Yousef Alsalem and Yahya Alshehri.

K.Rajagobal's lads put on a better show in the second half and were rewarded with a goal thanks to Safiq Rahim.

Nevertheless, Saudi's Naif Hazazi scores the third goal of the match in the 89th minute while Hamdan Alhamdan ensured a comfortable lead in the dying minutes as Saudi Arabia won 4-1.

Two contrasting performances by two different teams.

    Hoki : Kalah tapi tak malu.

    Bola : Nak muntah

    Hoki : Revolusi Paul Revington dalam masa yang singkat

    Bola : Tong kosong bila diketuk, bunyinya kuat

    Hoki : Pemilihan berdasarkan prestasi semasa; pemain baru atau pemain lama yang kembali on-form diberi peluang yang sama

    Bola : Saya tahu pemain saya

    Hoki : Modern hockey play. Sampaikan kepantasan berfikir pun dilatih.

    Bola : Kehabisan idea sampaikan game senang dibaca, bola senang hilang

    Hoki : Tak sangka ada channel 802

    Bola : Tukar channel, pergi 802

    p/s Akhirnya pakai juga jersey warna kuning - tapi tentu ramai peminat yang rasa tak berbaloi bayar RM200.

    Datuk K. Rajagobal says there are no strikers in the M-League. Why not try Pahang's Fauzi Roslan who is the second highest top scorer in the Super League and Sarawak's Bobby Gonzales who can't seem to stop scoring?

    Why not give them a chance? Would be would a try ... instead of complaining and relying on the same old faces

      & don't forget Khyril & Azamudin Akil, who r strikers for their state teams but played out of position as wingers/wide mdfielders for Msia. Coach Raja's striking option has always been Safee & Matyo, even though they're injured/out of form. No wonder Msia "don't have strikers available".

      One another point, look how energetic Shafiq was in the field, aspecially when he now have a competitor for the attacking midfielder spot.

      A practice we should have against other divas (players and coach) as well.

Papa win, papa win.

Those were the words of three-year-old Dasha Ong. National coach Ong Kim Swee has not seen his wife Alodle Donna Derick, Dasha and his seven month old baby Dashie for almost a month. And the words of Dasha just hours prior the kick off between Indonesia and Malaysia in the final certainly motivated Kim Swee. In return, Kim Swee motivated the lads and they won. Read more in today's Mailsport. As expected members of the Press - even those not from the Sports Desk - had numerous questions for Kim Swee. Some wanted Kim Swee to share his experience in Jakarta, others were penning down every word of his when he slammed the organisers for their antics which certainly disturbed him and the boys. But the celebrations must come to an end as Kim Swee and the Olympic lads will now face Syria in the Asia zone Olympic qualifiers tonight (8.45pm). And Kim Swee had this to say: "The players are tired but with the support of the fans, if they come in full force, perhaps that will motivate our...

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...
