    Datuk Raja, jangan beri terlalu banyak alasan!! Be humble, nothing wrong with it. You yang pilih untuk main dan beraksi ketika bulan puasa dan you bersetuju bermain pada jam 11 pagi yang mana waktu itu tidak sesuai dengan 'mentaliti' pemain Malaysia. Jam 11 pagi waktu pemain - pemain 'melepak' selepas training. Waktu itu pada bulan puasa pemain - pemain pasti tidak ada tenaga. Sudah tentu mereka tidak dapat memberikan aksi terbaik. Sudah tentu kena tibai dengan kelab kedua tercorot Jepun. Pendekatan you untuk lawan Chelsea dan sekarang Barcelona kurang tepat Datuk Raja. You sudah tidak ada taktik kerana sandaran dengan 'pemain - pemain saya' sudah tidak menjadi. Sekarang peminat pun dah konfius yang mana jadi keutamaan, Barcelona atau nak lawan Bahrain, Kelayakkan Piala Asia? Rasanya kedua - dua perlawanan you akan gagal, sorry to say...

    Of course Rajagobal wouldn't want to resign. It doesn't take genius to figure it out. Look at his pay checks, you will know the answer!!!

    Let the people in FAM make the decision in the case Dato Rajagopal as they are the people who with consensus decided the road map for the national teams. Knowing the present status of team , yet they decided to try their luck to redeem some pride of winning some matches against clubs in Australia and Japan. But just too bad, it got screwed up and Rajagopal got the blame. What about the decision makers ? Are they not qualified as council members to make decisions ? Politicians , most of the time makes the wrong decisions and get away with it but Rajagopal is the scapegoat now. Get right people to run FAM , then you can see the light at beginning of the tunnel. Selamat Hari Raya and enjoy the Bliss of Ramadhan.

    Nothing else to say. Everybody have already said whatever they want to say from FAM President right down to the poor football fan! (who no one will listen to)
    So Coach Raja, all you have to do is beat China for a start (upcoming friendly) and follow that up with a win v Bahrain and qualify for the Asian Cup 2014. Is that impossible? BTW, it does not matter if we put up a good performance or not as we ONLY need to WIN! Get Malaysia to the Asian Cup & you will be a hero. We will pray that you can do this.

    HD, setuju kontrak Rajagobal ada lagi sampai hujung tahun. Tapi :

    1.Siapa yang bagi kontrak yang amat panjang tempoh masanya sampai ke hujung nyawa (too close to the tournament date)?

    2.Kenapa tiada peruntukan untuk "reassess performance" ie selepas Piala AFF Suzuki yang lepas?

    3.Polisi siapa sebenarnya dahulu yang kata ranking tidak penting?

    4.Jika Subahan yang pantau Rajagobal, siapa yang pantau Subahan?

    5.Ada tengok pasal komen Maurinho tentang taktikal Malaysia di Chelsea TV?

    Untuk FAM, saya harap HD boleh panjangkan soalan berikut :

    1.Di sebalik dok sibuk nak kan ranking top 120 FIFA, tak ada hajat nak naikkan gred Liga Malaysia kah? Tak kan tak tahu gred liga kita berada dibawah gred Liga Singapura dan gred Liga Thailand.

    2.Bukankah lebih baik letak matlamat untuk capai ranking top 16 atau top 24 Asia (16 atau 24 pasukan yang akan bermain di Piala Asia?)

    3.Adakah ada perancangan untuk memberikan hak penyiaran media kepada pasukan-pasukan?

    4.Dimanakah sinergi kerjasama antara jurulatih Harimau Malaya, jurulatih Harimau Malaya dan persatuan jurulatih?

    5.Siapa yang menetapkan KPI Rajagobal dan Subahan?

    p/s tidak semua malah majoriti bekas pemain dan jurulatih negara meminta Rajagobal sendiri yang meletak jawatan dan bukannya dipecat.

    p/s berbaloi kah RM untuk kos pengurusan bila bolos 12 gol tanpa balas di Jepun?

    I agree that Raja is not a coward. He is just a lousy coach. - Mohammad

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...

Age manipulation in Myanmar

UPDATE 6.30pm: Myanmar club Yangon United FC apparently held an emergency meeting this morning, FA of Malaysia to lodge official complaint to AFC. ------ UPDATE 9.08am: AFC replies: Nice to hear from you. According to the documents registered with us, these players are eligible (age-wise) for the tournament. AFC has a strict policy under which it ensures that due diligence is observed in the player registration process for all its tournaments.Hope this helps. ---- UPDATE 7am: Fielding over-aged players has been a problem in the past. Fifa, had in 2009,  ordered bone tests to be performed on players at the Under-17 World Cup in Nigeria as seen here . Pakistani squash officials, meanwhile, check their players' armpits to verify age as reported here . ------- Apparently Myanmar are fielding over-aged players in the on-going AFC Under-22 qualification competition in Yangon. Based on the start list (left), at least two players seem to be above 22 years old. Details wer...
