Surprised that no one started a thread on this. Let's have a thread on Malaysia Cup/League. I'm sure a lot of us grow up supporting Fandi Ahmad and V Sundramoorthy. Gambling on the result is also quite common, though the suspicion of kelong used to be there all the time. I just hope the refereeing won't be as biased as last time. I remembered when we played Johor at Larkin, there was a photo of their player stepping on our player's neck in a tackle! :eek:

What's your view of us re-joining the league and cup? We seem to be sending a U-23 team with 5 seniors and 3 foreigners. I really think we don't need foreigners. The Kallang Roar is really memorable when we meet Selangor, Pahang, Johor, Kedah and KL. The stamping of feet during a corner, the wave, the vulgarities, the dates... Ah... :D

Sempoi: if the main objective of sending the u-23s to m-league is to gain exposure, thus there is no need of foreigners in the squad. Juz let have 3 senior players guiding them, as these boys are gonna bear the weight of sea games..
Unlike back in the old days, when Singapore was active in the m-league, as at that point of time, the local league wasnt that too exposed even though the spectators can easily outnumber the number of ppl attending a normal s-league match today.

i do not support our national team or under 23 playing in the malaysia cup.........this is not going to improve the standard of the team and we are going backwards with this proposal....also who would want 2 watch the malaysia cup again............:mad:

i would however support the merging of the 2 leagues which i think is more productive and entertaining as a club competition & possibly merging with other asean nations to form a asean league......this would be the right step forward.........:)

Will anyone of you be attending the Jan 10th match versus Kelantan? I'm excited that the M league is back. I'm glad that our team will comprise of some senior players as well. Been calling old friends to see if they will like to queue for tickets. I suppose for gamblers, the M league is more exciting to bet on as it tends to throw up more unexpected results.

Back in the early 90s, there were always rumours that certain players were on the take (kelong). Still, I was quite surprised when it turned out to be true! (Micheal Vana, Abbas Saad especially)

Nine days away to kick-off. I suspect we will lose to last year's Champions Kelantan as our team is new and the bulk of the players are young and inexperienced. Blooding these under-23 talent will be good for us. We have some potential legends in the making, all thanks to the Sports School. A lot of the under-23 team have been playing together since 13.

The Sports School is really tailored to grooming sports talent. Was talking to a friend in the know. It seems in the Sports School, your study time is tailored to your sport's needs. I know of a kid who studies from 3pm to 8 pm during her sport's competition time.

Still recall those days when we can only listen to a radio broadcast for matches in some smaller Malaysian states.

Starhub to broadcast live Malaysia Cup matches of LionsXII

Starhub is to be the official broadcaster and principal sponsor of LionsXII, The Football Association of Singapore announced. The cable channel will broadcast 'live' matches featuring LionsXII in the Malaysia Super League (MSL), the Malaysia FA Cup and the Malaysia Cup, The Straits Times reported.

Starhub customers can watch the matches for free through SuperSports Arena. Non-starhub fans will not have to fret missing out on the action, as they can also watch the matches for free by turning their television sets to frequency 76.25MHz.

MediaCorp's Channel Five will also be screening one match per month for a total of seven "live" MSL home matches and up to four Malaysia Cup matches. The LionsXII's MSL opening game will be against defending champions Kelantan, to be screened on Jan 10.

Rush 4 tickets 4 Lions XII opener against Kelantan

Look no further 4 signs tat Singapore's much-awaited return 2 Malaysia Cup football aft 17 year is going 2 be a hot-ticket item.

A snaking queue of abt 300 people were already in line when tickets 4 next Tuesday's opener betw Lions XII & MSL side Kelantan went on sale @ noon @ the Jalan Besar Stadium on Friday.

19-year-old student Mohammad Faisal, 1 of the 1st few people in line, told Yahoo! Singapore, "I'm quite happy I decided 2 come early. I never really expected such a long queue on the 1st day, especially since it's a working day."

Yahoo! Singapore understands tat fans started queuing as early 8:30am, & ticket sales will go on until match day itself on Tuesday.

The Jalan Besar Stadium, which will host Singapore's opening match in the Malaysian Super League, has a usual capacity of abt 6,000 but temporary stands hv increased the ground capacity to 8,000.

"I think it's better tat way, more supporters can watch the games, & tickets won't sell out so fast either. Although I think 8,000 is still considered small compared 2 the Malaysian ones, the 2,000 more seats will definitely improve the atmosphere here," said 48-year-old operations manager, Peter Lim.

The Lions XII take on Kelantan on Tuesday, 10 January @ the Jalan Besar Stadium @t 7:45pm. Tickets r going 4 S$12 (adult grandstand), S$7 (adult gallery & the gallery of the King George's Stand). Child, primary, secondary, ITE, JC students & senior citizens can get the tickets @ a concessionary price of S$2 (gallery).

Each person is entitled 2 purchase 4 tickets upon showing their NRIC @ the sales counter.

Lions XII net S$1 million Silkpro sponsorship

The Singapore Lions XII hv another reason 2 cheer jz days b4 their opening match against Kelantan.

The team received an estimated S$1 million sponsorship deal over the next 9 months fr hair care company SilkPro as part of the company's community service programme for 2012.

"We pick football [tis year] not only becos it is the most popular sport in Singapore, but also we welcome the long-awaiting return of the Malaysia Cup 2 our stadium," said Mr Calvin Lee, chief executive officer of SilkPro.

The leading hair care brand will also be giving out more than 200 tickets 4 the 1st 4 matches 2 involve community groups like HELP family service centre & the Young Women Muslim Association in the M league.

Mr Lim Kia Tong, vice president of the FAS said, "As we enter a new era, it is very heartening 2 hv sponsors 2 bring the level of interest in football 4ward."

He added tat football is a sport abt national bonding among fans.

Tis is evident fr the encouraging ticket sales 4 the opening match which went on sale on Friday.

Hariss Harun, vice captain of the Singapore Lions XII , said he's happy fans r coming 4ward 2 support the Singapore team.

"The Malaysia Cup brings back many good memories 4 the older generation & tat's wat they r expecting 2 see," said Hariss.

With Singapore's debut against defending M-League champions on Tuesday, Harun insists there is no pressure & the team is looking 4ward & determined 2 play good consistent football.

"We hope 2 go all out, do our best & win the 1st match. Tis would be the right start 2 show our fans wat we r capable of."

LionsXII can’t wait 2 get MSL campaign going

Singapore LionsXII coach V. Sundramoorthy can't wait 2 finally get the Malaysian Super League (MSL) campaign underway aft much media hype over the last few weeks.

"There're a lot of off-the-field stuff going on, & we 1 2 get tis started asap on the field. Let's see how the players, fans & atmosphere is going 2 be," said the legendary Singapore player known as "The Dazzler" during his heyday.

With all 8,000 home tickets selling out by Sunday afternoon, Singapore's return 2 Malaysian football aft a 17-year hiatus promises 2 be an electrifying affair.

Speaking ahead of Tuesday's much-awaited debut against Malaysian Super League defending champions Kelantan @ Jalan Besar Stadium, Sundramoorthy said, "We will go there & do our best."

When asked if he & his team were feeling the heat, he replied, "Performance matters 4 me, & the players will hv 2 go out there & give a good account of themselves. When u start performing well, the results will come."

Peter Butler, coach of Kelantan & former coach of SAF Football Club was also excited abt Singapore's return 2 the Malaysian scene.

He noted tat unlike other visiting coaches, the artificial turf @ Jalan Besar will not bother him all.

"2 be very honest with u, I did not like it when I 1st came in 2006. But now I actually do like it, & I think it's the way 4ward 4 countries in tis region," he said.

The former West Ham player added tat he's still confident with his team's ability despite losing the season's curtain raiser, the Charity Shield, 2-1 to Negri Sembilan over the weekend.

He chose his words carefully abt whether his team can get all 3 points against the Lions XII, explaining tat he 1s his team 2 win by playing a good game.

"I definitely did not come here 2 lose a football match, but I think it's not just abt getting 3 points -- it's the manner of getting the 3 points. Every1 1s 2 win it but I 1 2 win it the right way," said Butler.

My LionsXII First XI

With the hotly anticipated season-opener against Kelantan around the corner, Lions XII coach V Sundramoorthy must surely be pondering his starting XI 4 the Jan 10 season opener @ Jalan Besar.

It will not be an easy task 4 Sundram.

First, it’s against the defending League champions Kelantan.

2nd, the Lions XII squad was only announced on 5th December which left Sundram slightly over a month 2 get some training sessions under their belt. Furthermore, he has had 2 grapple with injuries & players missing training due 2 NS.

With only 4 proper friendly matches 2 assess his squad of players, it is fortunate tat given his experience with the Young Lions previously, Sundram has a good knowledge of the abilities of the crop of the players @ hand.

Unlike coach Sundram, I hv embarked on a slightly easier task. Barring injuries & unavailability, allow me 2 select my 1st XI 4 LionsXII tis upcoming season.

Formation: 4-5-1

Goalkeeper: Izwan Mahbud
There should be little surprise in tis department. Izwan has risen steadily through the ranks & he should be make the No.1 shirt his own if he can keep up with his consistent showings throughout 2011. With injuries 2 Hassan Sunny & the retirement of Lionel Lewis, Izwan should also be 1st-choice goalkeeper 4 the national team – his exposure here in the Malaysia Super League will no doubt be a big plus.

Left-Back: Shaiful Esah
Much like Izwan, Shaiful should be the in the starting 11 as long as he is fit. The national team left-back has a sweet left foot & is always a threat with set-pieces. He scored during the pre-season friendly against ATM FA with 1 of his trademark free-kicks & we should expect @ least a couple of goals & assists fr the ex-Warrior.

Right-Back: Irwan Shah
The right-back spot is 1 of the most hotly contested positions in the team. The more experienced Juma’at Jantan can also play @ right-back, but I favour young Irwan in tis slot. Irwan enjoyed a good SEA Games tournament & has the pace 2 match opposition wingers.

Centre-backs: Hariss Harun & Safuwan Baharudin
There may be some controversy in my selection here. Most will know Hariss as a midfielder – his regular position since the start of his career. He has, however, played in defence b4 & excelled in the role.

If paired with Safuwan, the LionsXII will hv center-back pairing of 2 very intelligent ball players. While they may not hv the biggest physiques, the pair should hv enough betw themselves 2 keep strikers @ bay. I always feel a solid team is built fr the back & tis pair will no doubt provide much-needed stability & leadership.

Defensive Midfielder: Isa Halim
Isa impressed me with his tireless running & determination over the matches he played 4 the national team last year. As a holding midfielder, he provides good cover 4 the backline & can shine in the role similar 2 wat Lucas Leiva has done so well 4 Liverpool over the past year or so.

Midfielders: Shahril Ishak & Shahdan Sulaiman
Captain Shahril Ishak is the most experienced player of the team & should make the 1st XI on a regular basis. He does appear 2 be overawed sometimes @ international level, but the diminutive midfielder has thrived when playing 4 Home United & during his short stint in Indonesia. He also featured prominently 4 the team throughout the pre-season & looks set 2 lead Lions XII out against Kelantan.
Shahdan was a key player in the SEA Games squad & was highly rated during his time with Tampines Rovers. Often deployed as a 2nd striker, he should hv the ability 2 open up opposition defences in the Malaysian Super League.
Much of the creativity & playmaking of the team will rest on tis duo. We should also expect both Shahril & Shahdan 2 be on the score sheet fr time 2 time.

Left-Midfield: Gabriel Quak
Gabriel may not be your typical winger with the flair & cutting-edge going forward, but he is hardworking & always a willing runner. Should he start on the left-wing, he will be the perfect compliment 4 Shaiful Esah. Gabriel has operated @ left-back b4 with Courts Young Lions & can provide the cover needed should Shaiful venture forward.

Right-Midfield: Khairul Amri
The right midfield slot is another contested spot in the team. The young Yasir Yanapi enjoyed a good outing in the SEA Games operating on tis flank, but if fully fit, Khairul Amri should provide more creativity. The ex-Tampines Rovers player is a tricky customer & has the pace 2 beat players, so it is critical tat he regains full fitness aft his horrible spell with injuries over the past year.

Striker: Khairul Nizam
Agu Casmir is the most experienced striker in the LionsXII squad but I will favour the young Khairul Nizam over him anytime. At 21, Nizam is not the most experienced, but every time he plays, he has displayed the hunger & desire tat drives the rest of the team on.
Somewhat prematurely touted as the next Fandi Ahmad a few years ago, Nizam is a very different kind of striker – the kind tat will make their presence felt in the opposition box. While not the tallest, Nizam is strong & good in the air. Given the opportunity, he has a good chance of grabbing the goals 4 LionsXII.

Why was he picked again and again and again and again and again and again is Sundrams blunder

He looks like waiting for the coconut to fall at his two left feets

What he doesn't have is the Majulah Singapura Heart in him being a ''so called Foreign Talent'' and all

If the main point of rejoining the M league is to allow our under-23 squad to get a good footballing education, then I think we achieve that in this first match. We squandered a lot of chances, have no idea on how to slow down the game and retain possession, don't even know how to pretend we have cramps to waste time to see the first half out with a 1 goal lead. We will get better, I feel. The Singapore Sports School is working wonders for us. I think a lot of the youngsters have been playing together since Sec 1.

Agu Casmir is lacking match fitness. He is strong on the ball but doesn't seem to have much pace. Wonder what happened to Nor Alam Shah... that guy is a fantastic striker and point man. Bad temper though. Shahril Ishak is disappointing. I think we need 1 more striker to support Agu and capitalise on his knock-downs. No matter the result, this match is still much better than any S-league matches.

So those who bought Kelantan to win would have won $1.93? Kedah will be interesting for Sundram... Sort of a home-coming for him.

Seriously do not understand why we are losing to teams like Kelantan with practically more than half of the national team. Then the media come and glorify a Kelantan team that have "2" Malaysian national players, Singapore Pools make us the underdog. Every single shit about the opponent is glorified. They are like BPL calibre now. We are now the underdog.

Singaporean mentality? Or rather the men-in-white mentality? Be pessimistic with your outlook so that when you dont deliver, it is expected. When you outdeliver, you ask for more bonuses. We have 3 Asean titles to 1 for Malaysia, for goodness sake. The team set a target of a top 5, I say if you dont challenge for the title, go home and fly kite.

BTW, I am a vivid fan of the M-league before Singapore leave back in 2004, can still remember almost the whole starting 11. David Lee, Saswadimata Dasuki, Jang Jung, Lim Tong Hai, Kadir Yahaya, Lee Man Hon, Nasri Nasir, Malek Awab, Steven Tan, Fandi Ahmad, Abbas Saad, Sundram. So I am not here to stir shit but to state my opinion on the sad state of football today.

True to the underdog status, our team of elites from Singa land loss 2-1. Sad, sad day.

I just list the players I remember, think most of these are the starting 11. There are others which I forgotten like Rafi Ali, the late Borhan Abu Samad (Like his fighter spirit, rememder he scored from the halfway line in one of the friendly games back in the 90s. Pity he die so young.), etc.

No worries about the cordial discussion, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I respect that.

While not trying to be a fair weather fan, I think it would take a lot to win back the fans if the elite footballers of our country are struggling to beat the state team of Malaysia, just aiming for a top 5 finish. Ultimately, I wish they could prove me wrong and prove that the step is a positive one for local football.

this doesnt feel like the Semi Pro league/M-League I remember.

Lions lacks idols and real game changers. The fans and players alike seemed only be up for it at the beginning.

End of the day, this is just a business decision and nothing else, will never be about the football.
I will just enjoy my memories as a boy going for matches at the National stadium for $1.

why do we even bother playing in the malaysia cup.........we are forever in a lose lose situation bcos if we win, we wont get credit as we are a national team playing against state teams & if we lose, we drop our standard as we cant even beat state teams & our own sleague will be devalued compared to the mleague..........we will never progress our football standard by playing in this competition, zainuddin should be sacked as FAS chairman.

But the euphoria was brought back.

It was a sell out at Jln Besar Std. How many local matches can get sell out attendance?

But a tad disappointing the boys lost. I hope they can beat kedah away next match.

I was a follower of Msia Cup back in 90s.
I was studying then n moi friend got some tickets to the game at National Std with Perak.
I think it was Q-Final stage.
I was there.....55,000 full cap at National Std.
It was big diff from watching at home via TV.
I can feel the excitement n heat....

Roared on by the crowd, Sg Lions eventually won emphatically 4-0. :D

The last time was during the Tiger Cup/ Suzuki Cup or also known as Asean Championship. Those matches really got Malaysia Cup feel. Other than that, it would be when clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal and Man U comes to Singapore.

For myself, my support will be dependent on the style of play. Play attractive, gutsy football and I will support. After all, these guys are so young and youthful enthusiasm should be allowed to surface. I think the 20 year old Shafuwan Bahruddin, 20 year Hanafi and 20 year old Hariss Harun are good exciting players to watch out for. Our left and right backs(forgot their names) seem to be able to whip in good crosses too. I rather win 3-2 than to win 1-0 and then defend all the way.

I'm glad to read all your memories of the old times. Brings back memories too. For myself, I don't sit too close to the pitch. Whenever we score a goal and everyone stands up or whenever the referee makes a Kayu decision, people are so excited they just throw whatever they are holding. I've seen packets of Bee Hoon and Hot coffee being flung in the air. I always remember a guy's head covered in Bee Hoon. Damn funny. :D He turned around to look up the stands and about 10 rows away was another guy who kept saying Sorry. Classic!

LionsXII 1 - 2 Kelantan : LionsXII kicked off MSL with home loss

Singapore kicked-off their return to Malaysian competitions with a 1-2 defeat to Kelantan at Jalan Besar Stadium.

Starting the match amidst massive fan-fare in front of a sell-out crowd, the LionsXII were felled by Mohammed Mahmoud Ghaddar's penalty on 79 minutes.

Towering centre-back Baihakki Khaizan, rose the highest from a Shahdan Sulaiman in-swinging free-kick to head home from close range at the centre of the penalty box.

Baihakki's and Singapore fans' joy was shortlived though, as Kelantan were able to find the equaliser just under ten minutes later, right at the end of the first half.

Norshahrul Idlan Talaha was left unmarked inside the box as a deep free-kick evaded the Singapore defence and fell perfectly for the forward who volleyed past Izwan Mahbud, leaving the young custodian no chance.

LionsXII 2 - 1 Kuala Lumpur : LionsXII secure 1st win

The LionsXII finally managed to achieve their first win of the 2012 Malaysian Super League (MSL) season, having beaten Kuala Lumpur 2-1 at the Jalan Besar Stadium this evening.

In front of more than 7,000 fans, the home team took the lead after 42 minutes when Kuala Lumpur defender Alman Syazwan put the ball through his own net.

Midfielder Shahdan Sulaiman scored the second goal for the LionsXII in the 57th minute after goalkeeper Rozaimie Rohim spilled the ball into the path of the former Tampines Rovers player.

However, the LionsXII were given a challenge in the final third of the match.

Centre-back Safuwan Baharudin was sent-off by referee Suhaizi in the 67th minute for a second bookable offence on Kuala Lumpur forward Fazuan Abdullah.

Fazuan then converted the resulting spot-kick and pulled a goal back.

The LionsXII's next match is against Sabah in Kota Kinabalu this Saturday.

A win is a win....although it was a lucky one....thanks to the opening own goal from KL.

But we need to be careful on the defending.....getting 1 player sent off n concede a penalty is suicidal when you are 2-0 up.

I had been watching the Sharil guy......not just this match....other matches too.....very mediocre.....awful shooting......putting him upfront for goals can be costly in the long run. He is the Captain?? :rolleyes:

The 2 of them joined a rival league in Indonesia. This league isn't recognised by FIFA and both of them can be suspended for international matches if they continue to play in an unsanctioned league. I wonder where Nor Alam Shah is now. There were reports that salaries were not paid for some teams.

Local football is damn political too. Headed by a PAP MP, what else do we expect right? FAS disbanded the whole national team after our Suzuki cup failure a few years back because the PAP MP not happy with the team performance. His blue eye boy, the coach, remains in charge though his tactics are negative and the coach keeps picking on the same players.

Today, The New Paper reported that FAS employed the former chairman of Etoile FC to be Deputy CEO of the S-League even though the French guy is bankrupt in France. Under French law, the bankrupt cannot be employed without prior permission. Think FAS wasn't aware he is bankrupt. Etoile FC quit the S-League partly to protest against the appointment of the French guy as Deputy CEO. Sometimes I think politicians should steer away from heading sports organisations. Makes a mess of things.

I think the S-league is run quite haphazardly. I prefer to support Lions XII in the M League instead.

You are absolutely right. Other teams can sign foreigners. Our team cannot sign foreigners but can include 5 senior players and you have pointed them out. More information can be found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_LIONSXII

How I wish Nor Alam Shah is included. The fiery striker is made for the M league. Playing to the crowds, fierceless and controversial in character, good in finishing and physically strong.

I see....so their official reason to come back Sinkie will be "to eligible to play for Sinkie in international matches".
most likely reason they were not paid.....if really drawing high pay, why bother coming back here? Would rather migrate to Indo n live like a king there.
No point represent Sinkie in international matches coz they are buay gan.

The S-League are run by a bunch of morons....of coz it sucks.

LionsXII down Sabah 1-0 away from home

A clinically taken header by Hariss Harun inside 20 mins fr a Shahdan Sulaiman free-kick, proved 2 be the winning goal in a heated contest, with both teams going all out 4 a win.

The free-kick in question was a result of a nasty foul on Yasir Hanapi down the right flank, with the winger getting kicked fr behind aft getting knocked off the ball.

Sabah looked 2 find a reply almost immediately aft going down with K.Thanaraj’s looping free-kick dropping just over the crossbar, b4 Michael Baird was bravely denied by Isa Halim.

The Australian 4ward was played in2 the penalty box by his compatriot Brendan Gan, but his snapshot, though on target, was blocked in time by Isa who had done well 2 track his opponent.

It was moments aft tat when both teams found themselves a man down. Chasing a stray ball out of touch, Irwan Shah & Mafry Balan tangled, with the former striking out @ the Singapore defender in frustration. Irwan’s retaliation however, was not unnoticed & both men were given their marching orders.

The match threatened 2 spill-over with players fr both sides squaring off in separate incidences, but the LionsXII’s decision 2 sit back & soak up pressure tempered the match down.

Sabah held control of the match 4 most parts of the 2nd-half with the Singapore team opting 2 defend deep & keep men behind the ball, a tactical decision tat worked, limiting the home side's chances.

Sumardi Hajalan forced Izwan Mahbud in2 a fine save near the hour mark then Mohd Fariss Azlan Mat Isa saw his running header fr a corner-kick directed tamely at the keeper.

But Gan, the Australian-Malaysian, had the best opportunity with 10 mins of play left. His poorly struck effort, aft Baird had done well 2 work his way down the by-line & pull back 4 his strike partner, was easily deflected off target by the in-form Baihakki Khaizan.

Shahril Ishak who has struggled 4 form in previous games, put in a commendable shift, holding up the ball effectively & linking up with Shahdan 2 cause trouble 4 the Sabah defence.

LionsXII could hv come away with a more comfortable scoreline, but in the dying minutes of the game, substitute Sufian Anuar scuffed his volley aft being picked out brilliantly @ the far post with a deep cross following a quick counter.

A 2nd win in as many games will now be a huge boost 4 V.Sundramoorthy's men, who take on Terengganu @ home next weekend.

Another bombshell for Malaysian clubs
LionsXII will not face relegation while up to 4 local clubs may lose MSL spot for 2013 season

SHAH ALAM - A safety net has been stretched out under the feet of the LionsXII even b4 they kick a ball in the Malaysia Super League (MSL).

On Monday, the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) revealed tat the Singapore side will not be relegated fr the MSL, an immunity amulet V Sundramoorthy's charges will wear till the end of the 2015 season.

Yesterday, the FAM announced details of a major MSL revamp tat will kick in next year, with changes ensuring the value of the LionsXII's immunity goes thru the roof.

The current MSL format features a 14-team competition, with the bottom 2 teams dropping into the 2nd tier Malaysia Premier League (MPL).

Come 2013, the MSL will see a reduced roster of only 12 teams.

Only the top 9 Malaysian teams, & the LionsXII, will retain their MSL status @ the end of the 2012 season.

The lowest-ranked Malaysian club in the MSL will be relegated automatically, with the MPL champions taking their place.

The next 2 lowest ranked Malaysian clubs will join a playoff with the runners-up of the MPL 4 the last remaining MSL slot.

The above scenario will only exist next year. Fr 2013 onwards, all 3 tiers of Malaysian football will hv 12 teams, with the bottom 2 sides relegated, & top 2 earning promotion.

Kuala Lumpur just avoided relegation fr the MSL un 2010/2011 season when they finished 12th.

Coach Razip Ismail is not sure if the new system is fair.

"The changes mean the next season will be a very difficult 1 & we all hv 2 work very hard 2 maintain our spot in the MSL," said Razip.

"Singapore's exemption fr relegation makes it an even harder situation, not only do we hv 2 stay clear of the bottom positions, in case Singapore doesn't do well, we hv 2 make sure we finish clear abv them as well.

"I don't know if that's fair, but that's in the agreement & rules, so we hv 2 abide by it."

KL will start the season with no foreign signings, & Razip admitted tat on paper, his side could be 1 of those fighting 4 survival.

A Negeri Sembilan fan who only gave his name as Naz suggested tat the revamp could hv a negative effect on Malaysian football.

"If u look @ it, it's not fair tat Singapore has immunity, but these changes will reduce the number of competitive games, & thus hinder player-development & football progress in Malaysia," he said.

"It's quite ridiculous 2 me, perhaps FAM haven't thought tis thru fully."

Speaking 2 media yesterday, FAM vice-president Datuk Hamidin Haji Amin refuted the view tat standards would be compromised.

"We review the league every 4 years & we believe these changes tat will stay in place until the 2016 season will ensure the quality of teams in our top league, in terms of football, finance & management," he said.

B Sathianathan, coach of MPL side ATM FA, a team dubbed the "Manchester City of Malaysia", is certain the changes will make the 2012 season even more interesting.

"Naturally, no 1 1s 2 be relegated. It's become harder 4 us 2 win automatic promotion 2 the MSL. Now we hv no choice but 2 finish as champions," he said.

If Singapore wins the Malaysia Cup how? We qualify for the 2013 AFC Cup under Malaysia's quota in the AFC Cup? The Malaysians will sure complain right? If their Harimau Muda team wins the S league or Cup, do they qualify under our quota too? Really confusing, kind of weird.

Seriously I doubt we can score 4.....
If Terengganu hoot 3, we will be in deep sh*t.

LionsXII slump to 1-0 defeat to Terengganu

Terengganu completed a hard-fought 1-0 victory over LionsXII @ the Jalan Besar Stadium on Saturday night.

The away side were regarded as slight favs prior 2 the match & they successfully lived up 2 the expectation with an opportunistic win against V.Sundramoorthy's men.

Both Agu Casmir & Shaiful Esah, who hv been missing due 2 injury, found themselves on the teamsheet 4 the match, with the latter starting on the left wing.

LionsXII were lively fr the start, pressuring Terengganu on many occassions. Shaiful came close 2 breaking the deadlock 4 the home side in the opening 10 mins, but his volley fr inside the penalty box flew just over the crossbar.

The match was noticeably halted 4 more than 10 mins aft a power trip caused 2 floodlights 2 fail.

When play resumed the home side had another great chance 2 score but Firdaus Kasman's shot flew over the bar aft a great dummy by Shahril Ishak.

Aft the break, it was Terengganu tat showed greater urgency 2 open the scoring & Francis Forkey Doe continued 2 trouble the LionsXII's makeshift defence as he pushed deeper 2 influence play.

LionsXII failed 2 create any key chances in the 2nd-half with the exception of Casmir's miss shortly b4 Terengganu's goal. The Singapore international skied his effort when he had only the keeper 2 beat fr a good angle aft being played thru brilliantly by Shahril.

Shortly aft, Terengganu punished the LionsXII defence aft a mistake by Hariss Harun. The vice-captain smashed his clearance straight @ Doe who chased the ball down b4 muscling himself in2 position 2 fire a low shot 2 the bottom far corner 2 beat Izwan Mahbud.

The win ended LionsXII's recent surge in form tat saw the team pick up 2 back-2-back wins, while Terengganu increased their winning run to 4.

He's simply the downfall of the Lions XII

Simply the worst player of the squad

Why the over-indulgence of THIS FT is beyond comprehension

Seriously I doubt we can score 4.....
If Terengganu hoot 3, we will be in deep sh*t.

I think LionXII better don't take things for granted after winning 2 matches n are at home.

I feel something bad about this match.....I hope I'm wrong.

I'm right.....unfortunately.....:(
We failed to score and we were duly punished. :rolleyes:

I was there watching the match live. Being there allows me to see the bigger picture, like how the players without the ball move to support the guy with the ball. We aren't great. A lot of the senior players suck. There is this no 3. Super lazy, doesn't track players, passes like shit. Got sub out. The crowd was scolding him like almost all the time. We paid the price for not putting on a striker. When our players attack, there isn't anyone to pass to, no running man, nothing. Sharill Ishak can't do much as a striker except to pass the ball around. I think a real striker won't always receive the ball with his back facing goal. When Agu came on, there was at least a target to aim to pass to.

I think the buck lies with Sundram. Stop saying you only got 1 fit striker. If it's mid-way through the season, we can say you are unlucky with injuries. But for us to start the season with 1 fit striker and 3 injured ones, then you got to explain why you would include strikers on long term injury into the squad? To play 60 mins at home without a striker is really terrible. For those who attended the match and watch Agu Casmir warm up before the match, it is clear that he has fully recovered. The crowd was complaining about Sundram's tactics. The abuse is quite bad, something you and I can't catch by watching TV at home.

How bad is bad? :D

My best combo is a mix of hokkien, english plus cantonese string together.

Nothing great about Agu.....I felt he didn't use his size n strength to impose more authority in the box.
The long ball tactics is outdated....it is a kind of lazy players tactics.
Don't wish to run. Just pump to high ball in front n hope for the best.

It is a long standing Sinkie players tactics.....it is prevalent in almost any levels.

They should send some players to Nou Camp to see how Barcelona trains their youth players.

Seriously, no excuses for the loss. There were no midweek matches prior to this and it is a full week of rest after their Sabah's match.

Dui na seng!! I'm fed up with the performance of the LionsXII n Sundram!:mad: Ham ga chan to them.

My 2centsworth. Long Ball tactics work for Lion12. If you watch the start of the match where both teams line up, our tallest players are a head taller than the Malaysians. We score a lot of headers and the Malaysians have no answer to our height. My problem with long ball is that it shouldn't be the only tactic and last night, the kid who can cross well is suspended for fighting in Sabah and Bahhaiki (our best header) is injured but we are still playing as if both of them were there.

How bad is bad? I answer you through what I hear the people around me saying ok?

Old Uncle: PASS!! Fucker dribble and dribble. You see, you see... Want to be hero ah? Support Lah! Sundram, get your players to attack together, not just 1 or 2 attack lah...

When Trenggenanu scores...

Old Uncle(Stood up): Goal!!! Score more lah. We deserve to concede more...

A lot of people damn angry with this old uncle... but deep inside, we know Lions12 and Sundram needs a wake up call. We don't want negative tactics, especially at home. Benching your striker when he is fit... that's bad.

Elsewhere, 1 mom and 2 daughters...

Daughter 1: Goal!!! Liverpool score 1 against Man U. I should be home watching this game instead of paying to come here.

Daughter 2: Sigh. Lions play like that, Man U concede a goal too. Next time weekend don't watch football anymore.

Mum: Good, then we save $21 ($7 per ticker X 3) in future...

A lot of people are following the Liverpool and Man U match while supporting Lions12. You think these people will continue to come if Lions12 play negative football?

Guy younger than 20: FFFUUUUCCCCKKK YOU Taufiq!!! Bootoh... CHHHEEEE BYYYYEEEE YOOOU and on and on....

We 'butoh' our own players these days. This kid scold until so many people turn around and look at him, a lot of uncles and aunties shake their heads. For a generation who grew up after 1994 on EPL football, supporting Lions12 and paying to watch lower grade football, you think they will understand that rejoining the M league is to give our youngsters a chance to grow?

Of the 3 groups of supporters, 1 chinese, 1 malay, 1 indian. I like how going to M League allows the races to chill out together. It's nice. Going to M league matches is a good date for me. Allows me to show myself uninhabited and to understand the girl more. See which girl is more 'sporting'. I ever had a girl who shouted 'Butoh' louder than me. I got shocked... Other girls just screamed whenever the ball enters the penalty box.

‘Give fringe LionsXII players a chance’

5 games in2 the 2012 Malaysian Super League season, LionsXII sit @ 7th place, 2 places outside of the pre-season target of a top-5 finish.

So how would I rate them aft these handful of games? "Average" & "met expectations" r my buzzwords.

Games involving LionsXII hv seen 8 goals in all so far (4 scored, 4 conceded), @ an average of a paltry 1.6 goals per game. Tis average is incidentally the lowest in the league — on the other end of the equation games involving Kelantan & Negeri Sembilan hv seen an average of 2.8 goals per game.

Tis statistic alone sums up coach V. Sundramoorthy's approach 2 the opening 5 matches -- overly cautious.

Upon analyzing his tactics & team selection, there will be more evidence 2 support tis argument.

Tactics

Sundram prefers 2 deploy a 4-5-1 formation, with a lone striker upfront. Agu Casmir was his natural 1st-choice striker b4 his injury. Captain Shahril Ishak has since deputised in a makeshift role.

Shahril has done an admirable job playing in an unfamiliar role — his efforts were recognized when he was selected by goal.com in the Malaysian Super League Team of the Week .

However, being a midfield man by trade, he has the inevitable tendency 2 drift deep 2 link up play 4 his team. When he does tat, LionsXII appear 2 play in a 4-6-0 formation & tis slows down the pace of attack.

The biggest threat fr LionsXII has come fr set pieces -- 2 out of the 4 goals scored so far has come fr a corner & a free-kick.

In modern football, set pieces should be a weapon 4 attacking teams. However, it should not be the ONLY weapon.

Against better defences & more organized units, LionsXII will struggle 2 get set-piece chances, let alone convert them. Tis 1-dimensional play has surely been noted by opposition scouts & it will only get harder 4 LionsXII if a different approach is not taken.

While it's understandable 2 line up more defensively away fr home, Sundram may consider playing more attacking football @ Jalan Besar. Agu has since recovered fr his injury & the opportunity is now 4 Sundram 2 set the team up in a more attack-minded 4-4-2 formation, with another striker supporting Agu.

While LionsXII often dominate possession in most of their games, the creative spark going 4ward has been missing.

The mindset of the team is often set by the coach, so Sundram should urge his team 2 throw bodies 4ward @ every opportunity, rather than simply sitting back 2 soak the pressure.

Team Selection

After 5 matches, it is clear who Sundram's favoured 1st XI r.

There r 29 players in the squad & the coach has utilized 21 of those players. However, there has been very little tinkering with the 1st XI -- 7 players hv started in every single game, & 4 of the 7 hv played every single minute of every match.

4 other players — Safuwan Baharudin, Baihakki Khaizan, Irwan Shah & Agu Casmir — would probably hv started all the matches, if not 4 injuries & suspensions.

Like Shahril Ishak, vice-captain Hariss Harun has also been often played out of position as centre-back, whenever Sundram is missing either of Safuwan & Baihakki.

All these suggest tat Sundram is playing it safe. Rather than experimenting with new players, he has opted 4 the best 11 -- even if they're played out of position -- in the hope tat they can deliver.

The decision 2 play Shahril Ishak upfront clearly highlights his reluctance 2 take a gamble & blood some of his junior players. Gabriel Quak, Fazli Ayob & Sufian Anuar r all listed as 4wards in the official squad list, but all of them hv been overlooked.

Yes, ultimately, football is a results business — 3 points 4 every league game is the ultimate prize & every strategy should be geared 2wards obtaining those 3 points, by whatever means possible.

However, football is also in the entertainment business. The truth is no fan likes 2 witness defensive performances all the time.

LionsXII fans who make the effort 2 travel to the stadia -- both home & away -- deserve better. The time is ripe 4 Sundram 2 mix & match the pack tat was given 2 him & urge the team 2 be more attack-minded.

Aft last weekend's disappointing 1-0 defeat 2 Terengganu, wat harm would it do 2 give the fringe players in the squad a chance 2 prove their worth?

I am a big believer in fortune favouring the brave over time.

The more important question is, does Sundram?

Damon Yeo was a barely a teenager when Singapore won the double in Malaysia back in 1994 but has not stopped supporting the national team & the S-League since.

Malaysian Sports Minister calls for serious action after 18 players banned for match-fixing

Malaysia's Youth & Sports Minister Ahmad Shabery Cheek has called 4authorities 2 find the root of match fixing aft 18 players were banned fr football-related activities for 2-5 years aft being found guilty of the offence.

The FA of Malaysia (FAM) announced over the weekend tat the players, fr 3 different clubs, would receive lengthy suspensions 4 their offences committed @ the national under-21 President's Cup in 2011.

A former Negeri Sembilan coach was also handed a life-time ban 4 his role in the scandal.

“I will direct the respective authorities 2 investigate & find out the source of the match-fixing scandal,” Shabery Cheek said according 2 Malaysia’s Bernama news agency.

The names of the players & the coach will only be officially released on Wednesday.

Investigations had begun last December over allegations tat the players had been involved in football related illegal activities with 3 individuals who had already been charged with bribing players.

The news comes in the same week tat Sultan Ahmad Shah, the FAM & AFF President, called on players involved in match-fixing 2 hv the conscience leave the game willingly.

“It is a sin 2 be involved in match-fixing & players should realized tat they should consider themselves lucky able 2 get paid just 2 play football,” said Sultan Ahmad.

“It is unacceptable. I would like 2 state now tat whoever is involved in match-fixing, I will take action.”

LionsXII cancelled out by Selangor

A disappointing turnout did not hamper the mood 4 Selangor & LionsXII who fought out a competitive 1-1 draw in Bukit Jalil Stadium.

Selangor was without their foreign signings Ramez Dayoub & Basko Balaban who were still awating their International Transfer Certificate while LionsXII had a near full-strength side tat also included Baihakki Khaizan. Madhu Mohana meanwhile made his debut partnering Baihakki in the heart of defence.

Selangor started strongly with Safiq Rahim testing Izwan Mahbud with a freekick inside the opening 10 mins. The home side then carved open Singapore's back line again thru a brilliant link-up play betw Safiq & Fitri Shazwan but the former's shot in the end was straight @ the LionsXII custodian.

Singapore finally tested Selangor goalkeeper Norazlan Razali on 19 mins. A deep cross fell 2 Baihakki & his shot 2 the near post was well-blocked by the custodian who then denied Agu Casmir immediately aft, snatching a looping header fr slipping under the crossbar.

But the breakthrough finally came 2 mins fr the break. A deep cross was allowed 2 float by Shahril who was offside but picked up by Raihan Rahman @ the far post. The midfielder then cut the ball back 2 the Lions captain who sidestepped his marker b4 brilliantly powering home fr the centre of the penalty box, leaving nothing tat Norazlan Razali could hv done.

Selangor however pulled level almost immediately aft. In injury time Amri Yahyah laid off 4 K.Gurusamy & his 1st-time volley fr outside the penalty box bulged the netting as Izwan stood rooted 2 his spot.

The 2nd-half was a relative muted affair as the 2 evenly matched teams cancelled each other out. Safiq & Amri had the 2 best chances, with the former seeing his 1-on-1 effort thwarted by Izwan near the hour mark while Amri passed on a free-header infront of goal in the final 10 mins of play.

It was another disappointing night 4 Irfan Bakti & the Red Giants as they moved further away fr the leading pack but 4 the LionsXII, the draw would be a valuable point earned.

Spot on!! FT score is indeed 1-1. :D

I'm officially bald. Kept tearing my hair out. :p We look really toothless in attack. Selangor is really very different from 1994. Just look at the 3000 crowd, we pack more people in Jalan Besar and Jalan Besar is such a small stadium when compared to Kallang Stadium.

Nor Alam Shah exit sparks crisis at Arema FC

As many as 12 Arema FC players r believed 2 hv submitted resignation letters aft missing training on Tuesday & Wednesday, following the departure of Noh Alam.

The players r believed 2 be unhappy with the management & the strike was in direct relation 2 the Singapore 4ward's resignation over the weekend.

"4 those who missed training, the reasons were not clear," said Arema coach Dejan Antonic 2 Goal.com

"There was no notice & therefore I can't make any statement. So, we do not know,"

Of the squad of 29 players in Arema, 12 r on strike leaving just a few core players left 2 train.

"At least we know which players r professional & disciplined," added Antonic.

Meanwhile Arema media officer, Noor Ramadan told Goal.com tat there was no clear guidelines on dealing with players who go on strike.

"Obviously management will refer 2 the contract," said Noor.

"There is no clause abt the rights & obligations. However, now we concentrate on the matter of the players who quit 1st. That's our priority."

The latest development has nevertheless affected the crisis-stricken club who hv appealed 2 the Indonesian Football Associaiton (PSSI) 2 postpone their Indonesian Premier League match against Bontang FC on Saturday.

"We did send a letter regarding inability 2 complete scheduled fixtures. We do hope tat the match will be re-scheduled & not get Arema kicked out fr the IPL event," explained Noor.

"There r 2 many players who did not 1 2 attend training.

"Most of the players who didn't were obviously very influential in the preparation of the team. So, we ask tat they re-schedule our match against Bontang"

But the dire strait of the club following Noh Alam's resignation was evident as Noor added, "We r submitting tis request becos the current conditions 4 Arema really constitute an emergency."

Noh Alam Shah had initially refused further comments with the media over concerns tat his 'big brother' status with his team-mates might spark unrest & the player did not wish 2 strain ties with the club.

With his fears now coming true, & Arema being embroiled in turmoil, Noh Alam has decided 2 avoid the media given the deteriorating situation @ the club.


Perhap Noh Alam Shah can come LIGHT up the MSL.

Nor Alam Shah is the best Singaporean striker for now, bar none. No one holds onto the ball better or defends from the front better. Agu is probably 50% of the striker that Nor Alam Shah is. I personally think he will not make the MSL squad not because of Sundram but because of the politician Zainul Abidin.

He is the so-called FAS President who disbands the whole national team. Only a 3rd world country disbands the entire national team. And that's after spending so much taxpayers's money of training that team for Goal 2010.

Anyway, my prediction for this weekend is Singapore 2 Negri Sembilan 0. Goals from Agu and a direct free kick from Esah. Our young defender who got sent off in Sabah is eligible to play again after his 2 match suspension.

LionsXII cruise to 3-1 win over Negeri Sembilan

Finally, it all clicked on the nite.

Boosted by a 7,000-strong home crowd who chose 2 forgo the ManU-Liverpool clash on television, the LionsXII cruised 2 a 3-1 win over Negeri Sembilan @ the Jalan Besar Stadium.

But wat really got the fans purring was the manner of victory. Neat team play, silky passes & nifty footwork, which had all been missing in the LionsXII's displays so far, all finally came 2gether.

Much of the credit must go down 2 coach V Sundramoorthy's brave decision 2 field former Home United striker Sufian Anuar in place of the tried-&-tested Agu Casmir & boy, did he impress, creating 2 goals & generally wreaking havoc on the opposition defence.

The 1st half saw the Singapore side dominating play & coming close 2 scoring several times.

Surprise starter Sufian, who introduced a certain fluency 2 the LionsXII play, spurned several 1-on-1 chances against Negeri Sembilan's goalkeeper Farizal Marlias, which against stiffer opposition, perhaps, may hv proved costly.

But the game's opening goal came in the 30th min thru a penalty awarded 2 LionsXII courtesy of a handball & captain Shahril Ishak coolly stroked home, his 1st of the night, 2 give the home side the lead.

The LionsXII continued 2 remain organized, compact in defence & aggressive in attack & it was not long b4 they went 2-0 up aft Sufian's pass was polished off by Shahdan Sulaiman.

Negeri Sembilan found scoring chances few & far betw with their strike duo of Jean-Emmanuel Effa & Ahmad Shakir well-marshalled by a cool & composed backline led by Baihakki.

The 3rd goal of the night came in the form of a brilliant slide @ the far post by skipper Shahril 2 slot home a low cross by the in-form Sufian.

2 their credit, even at 3-0 down, the visitors continued 2 attack & finally had something 2 show 4 when Firdaus Azizul scored a consolation goal during a goalmouth melee.

Aft the match, coach Sundram was quick 2 praise former Home United striker Sufian Anuar: "I feel tat I made the right decision 2 select Sufian in attack but tis is a long season."

He added tat Nigerian-born Agu Casmir, who made way 4 Sufian, need not despair.

"The entire team will hv different times 2 contribute & on another night, Agu Casmir will play a vital role 4 the LionsXII."

His opposite number Mohd Azeaai Khor bin Abdullah also commented @ the post-match press conference, "My players were not used 2 the pitch here & they did not hv enough time get accustomed 2 it. However, I feel tat we also had some players who looked tired & Ahmad Shakir who was with the Malaysian Olympic team was looking physically worn out as the match progressed. We had our chances in the game but were unable 2 capitalize on it."

LionsXII coach Sundram’s bold gamble pays off

Last week, tis very blog ran a report urging LionsXII coach V Sundramoorthy 2 be bold & change his approach 2 the game in terms of personnel & tactics.

On Saturday, he heeded the advice & it paid huge dividends.

Against defending Malaysian Cup champions Negeri Sembilan no less, Sundram made his biggest gamble yet as a LionsXII coach. He dropped the experienced Agu Casmir in favour of the relatively unknown Sufian Anur — & the latter repaid his coach with significant contributions 2 LionsXII's most empathic win of the season thus far.

Sufian gave more than 100 per cent in the game, chasing down every lost cause in the game & was a constant thorn in the opposition defence for 85 mins, until he was substituted.

More importantly, he played a key role in 2 of LionsXII's goals, splitting the opposition defence 2 set up 2 crucial goals 4 his teammates.

His energetic display upfront was also the catalyst 4 a fluid & entertaining display by LionsXII — a performance tat was later acknowledged by Sundram as the best so far tis season.

Throughout the 1st 60 mins of the game, LionsXII was clearly the better team, spraying passes with much fluidity across the pitch. The team was also displaying the kind of willingness 2 push 4ward in attack, rather than sitting back 2 wait 4 the opponents 2 come @ them.

Even @ 3-0 up, Sundram opted 2 replace Shahril Ishak with striker Agu Casmir — a clear signal of intent tat he 1s more goals, rather than 2 simply see the game out.

The dominance LionsXII enjoyed in the game made the visitors look very ordinary — quite a feat considering tat the visitors were sitting abv them in the table b4 kick-off.

All in all, the display was a treat 4 the 7,056 fans who turned up @ the Jalan Besar Stadium.

The near capacity crowd turnout was another indicator tat the Malaysia Cup fever is well & truly back on our shores.

Premier League giants Liverpool & ManU — arguably 2 of the most well supported English clubs in Singapore — kicked off in a Premier League match @ 845pm & tat seemed 2 hv little effect on attendance of tis Malaysia Super League fixture.

Sundram looks 2 hv found the formula 2 entertain fans & win games — but can he replicate tis 4 the games 2 come?

"Sundram" moment of the match:
It somewhat feels like there is an obsession within the LionsXII team 2 emulate wat their coach did in a league match in 1993 — 2 score in front of a Singapore crowd with a bicycle kick. Captain Shahril Ishak attempted @ the last home game against Terengganu & Sufian Anur tried not 1s, but twice, with the overhead kick tis match. Unfortunately 4 Sufian, his 2nd attempt went inches wide & resulted in an injury — a minor 1, thankfully.

Best goal of the game:
The 3rd goal was an absolute gem. LionsXII built up fr deep 2 release Sufian on the right. The striker broke free & laid off a superb ball across the penalty box 4 Captain Shahril Ishak 2 finish empathically fr 6 yards out.

Worst moment of the match:
Having led 3-0 for almost 30 mins, the LionsXII defence collapsed 2 allow Negeri Sembilan 2 score a consolation goal in injury time fr a corner. For apparent time wasting aft the goal was scored, Isa Halim earned a very unfortunate booking which means tat he will be suspended 4 the game against Perak tis coming Tuesday.

Boo-boo moment of the match:
Yes, Sufian enjoyed a memorable outing but he did not actually find the net. However, the stadium announcer actually announced tat Sufian had scored the 2nd goal 4 LionsXII when it clearly was Shahdan Sulaiman who had found the net.

Special Mention:
A special shout-out here is reserved 4 the 150-odd away fans who made the way across the Causeway. Clad in their team colours, the squadron arrived early & was cheering their team with chants & cheers throughout — even when they were 3-0 down. Besides not joining the home crowd in the soon-2-be famous Jalan Besar Wave, their support cannot be faulted & is something perhaps LionsXII fans can learn fr.

LionsXII hit by National Service snub

LionsXII's Malaysian Super League (MSL) season has suffered a setback as the Ministry of Defence (Mindef) & the Singapore Police Force (SPF) r unwilling 2 grant players who r Full-Time National Serviceman leave.

Coach V Sundramoorthy missed the likes of vice-captain Hariss Harun, Shakir Hamzah, Yasir Hanapi & Raihan Rahman 4 their pre-match training 4 the match against Selangor last Wednesday due 2 National Service (NS) commitments.

It will be the same situation 4 the LionsXII as they prepare 4 their upcoming trip 2 Perak on Tuesday evening, reported The New Paper.

Only 15 players will be leaving 4 Ipoh on Monday morning, with Hariss, Yasir, Shakir, Safuwan Bahrudin, Khairul Nizam all held back by NS duties.

The LionsXII players hv reportedly been making use of their own annual leave 4 away games since the beginning of the MSL campaign & it will remain tat way 4 the rest of the season.

And Hariss is concerned whether he would hv enough leave 2 cover the season. He told TNP: "Our annual leave wouldn't be enough 2 last 4 the entire season, but there's nothing we can do abt it."

Tis has been 1 of the major talking points among the local football fraternity, who r puzzled & disappointed @ the lack of support by the 2 government bodies.

Exceptional servicemen-athletes in the SAF Sportsmen Scheme & the corresponding programme 4 SPF r given a certain number of full-pay unrecorded leave on top of their allotment of annual leave 2 represent the country in major international competitions.

Servicemen-athletes not inducted in the scheme may apply 4 time off — with the endorsement of their respective national sports associations & the Singapore Sports Council (SSC).

But according 2 SPF, & Mindef spokeman Colonel Desmond Tan, the MSL is not recognized as a major international competition.

He was quoted by TNP, as saying: "Where exigencies of service permits & subject 2 the merits of each case, Mindef allows national sportsmen, who r supported by the SSC, Full-Pay Unrecorded Leave (FPUL) 2 represent Singapore in selected major international competitions.

"The MSL is a football league & not an international competition. Mindef does not grant FPUL 4 participation in the MSL."

According 2 TNP, Mindef has rejected a season's worth of leave applications by the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) 4 players affected by NS b4 the season started.

Dave Law, a Business Development manager who follows local football, told Yahoo! Singapore tat authorities should start putting in2 action wat they promised & accused National Service 4 stunting the growth of our athletes.

"1 hand we r talking abt supporting local sports. On the other hand we r killing them off," he lamented.

"National Service is singlehandedly responsible 4 the sporting death of many aspiring potential medal winners."

While some r disappointed by the lack of support fr the NS bodies, there r others who give their backing 2 Mindef & SPF.

Yahoo! Singapore Facebook reader Muhd Khalis Rifhan said: "Lets be fair 2 Mindef.. LionsXII is not Singapore national team. So tis ruling make sense.

"LionsXII is a club & shld be treated like 1 & not be accorded status like a national team."

Give our footballers a break

7 games into the Malaysian Super League (MSL) season, & the score reads: LionsXII 0 National Service 1.

On Monday, when coach V. Sundramoorthy led his team 2 Ipoh 4 a league match against Perak on Tuesday evening, only 15 players were on the plane with him. Others such as vice-captain Hariss Harun & promising centre-back Safuwan Bahrudin joined their teammates only the next day due 2 National Service (NS) commitments.

Past media reports had stated tat these players were rationing their 14-day annual leave so as 2 last thru the entire season.

It was also revealed in The New Paper yesterday tat the Ministry of Defence (Mindef) has rejected a season's worth leave applications by the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) b4 the season kicked off last month.

In the same report, Mindef spokesman Colonel Desmond Tan said tat players in the MSL will not be accorded the Full-Pay Unrecorded Leave (FPUL) tat is given 2 national athletes chosen 2 represent the country in "selected major international competitions", under its SAF Sportsmen Scheme.

The reason? Because the MSL is a domestic football league & as such, is not regarded as an international competition.

When Yahoo! Singapore spoke 2 Sundram @ a training session @ Jalan Besar Stadium last week, the frustration over the situation was palpable on his face.

"We just hv 2 make do with the situation. All I can say is tat come match-days, we will hv 11 players competing on the pitch," he said in a voice laced with resignation.

When contacted, FAS President Zainudin Nordin said: "Like any other football club around the world, we agree tat it will be ideal if all our players can train & play together on a daily basis."

His next comments were telling, however: "Nevertheless, it is only realistic 2 acknowledge tat there will always be constraints & challenges facing any football team, & we simply hv 2 cope with these challenges, including injuries, suspensions & other commitments such as National Service, & perform 2 the fullest & best of our abilities.

While his attitude 2 tis thorny issue is laudable, 1 can't help but feel tat more should be done 2 help the players involved.

As an FAS source reveals, the likes of Hariss & Safuwan hv 2 endure a daily routine tat goes something like tis: report 4 NS duties in the morning, attend football training around 6pm in the evening aft booking out of camp. By the time training ends, it is usually well past 9pm & the poor sod then has 2 rush home 2 ensure he reaches his camp on time the next morning.

Tis is no way we shld treat our best footballers, most of whom r in their early 20s - a time when proper rest & recuperation r needed 2 ensure they don't suffer a burnout, or worse, a premature end 2 their budding careers.

Tis situation is not unique 2 football. Over in the swimming pool where 16-year-old Joseph Schooling has been making waves aft waves, NS is like a looming dark cloud tat threatens 2 derail his descent 2 the pinnacle of competitive sport.

As the Sunday Times reported, his parents r hoping 2 defer their son's full time NS enlistment until the 2016 Olympics.

Whether their request - & the swimming fraternity's hope & wish - will be granted is still any1's guess.

Again, tis seems 2 be a case of NS being an obstacle 2 sporting excellence.

While I m not suggesting tat Singapore should take the cue fr South Korea, where elite sportsmen r sometimes exempted fr serving in the military, a change in directive fr Mindef's top brass is needed.

Understandably, Singapore's defence is top priority. But 2 truly be a nation of diverse talents, perhaps more leeway should be given 2 deserving athletes.

The MSL may not be an international tournament, but as Zainudin correctly pointed out, the players will undoubtedly benefit fr the exposure.

So grant the players the time they need 2 train & travel.

Tat, in the wider scheme of things, can only be beneficial 2 the progress of our national football team.

And if they eventually bring honours of the senior Lions team, surely tat should be counted as them doing a service 2 our nation 2.

In fact, when asked why the FAS had chosen players whom they knew would be affected by NS 4 the LionsXII squad, Zainudin added: "Tis is in line with our 2-fold objective: 2 further enhance our youth development programmes & 2 participate competitively in the 3 competitions.

But there may be hope yet.

On the same day tat the LionsXII departed 4 Ipoh with a depleted squad, Acting Minister 4 Community Development, Youth & Sports Chan Chun Sing revealed in a briefing 2 announce its Vision 2030 sports blueprint tat Mindef is currently conducting a review of the SAF Sportsmen Scheme.

While no details were announced, 1 can only hope tat the footballers' lot improve aft the changes.

And tat would surely be music 2 Sundram's ears.



Not every1 can don the national colours.
Only the handful of deserving lot can enjoy these.
How 2 grow with all these obstacles.
How 2 grow when everything follow the book.

Local fans react over LionsXII NS snub

Local football fans Yahoo! Singapore spoke 2 hv voiced their opinion on the recent National Service-LionsXII saga.

It was reported in The New Paper tat only 15 players travelled 2 Ipoh on Monday 4 their Malaysian Super League (MSL) match against Perak on Tuesday evening, with Hariss Harun, Yasir Hanapi, Shakir Hamzah, Safuwan Bahrudin & Khairul Nizam only able 2 join up with the squad the match day itself due 2 NS commitments.

Players who r Full-time NS servicemen (NSF) hv been utilizing their annual leave 4 away fixtures tis season & it has been revealed tat the Ministry of Defence (Mindef) has rejected a season's worth of leave applications by the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) b4 the season started.

Mindef spokesman Colonel Desmond Tan has made it clear in his TNP quote tat the LionsXII players will not be excused fr their NS duties.

"Where exigencies of service permits & subject 2 the merits of each case, Mindef allows national sportsmen, who r supported by the SSC, Full-Pay Unrecorded Leave (FPUL) 2 represent Singapore in selected major international competitions," he said.

"The MSL is a football league & not an international competition. Mindef does not grant FPUL 4 participation in the MSL."

Tis has sparked a big debate among the local football fraternity.

Dave Law, a Business Development manager, told Yahoo! Singapore tat authorities should start putting in2 action wat they promised & blamed National Service 4 stunting the growth of our athletes.

He lamented: "1 hand we r talking abt supporting local sports. On the other hand we r killing them off.

"National Service is singlehandedly responsible 4 the sporting death of many aspiring potential medal winners."

Justin Mark Roy, a follower of local football, believes playing 4 the country - albeit not in an international competition - is a form of national service itself.

"Playing 4 your country is a service, be it in any sport," he declared.

"If NS continues 2 be a restriction 2 our talents, then our field of sports, arts & sciences will all suffer."

While some r disappointed by the lack of support from the NS bodies, there r others who understand & back Mindef's decision against granting leave 2 the LionsXII players.

Yahoo! Singapore Facebook reader Muhd Khalis Rifhan said: "Lets be fair 2 Mindef. LionsXII is not the Singapore national team. So tis ruling make sense.

"LionsXII is a club & should be treated like 1 & not be accorded status like a national team."

Yahoo! Singapore reader WP added: "Good decision by Mindef & SPF. Don't waste time & resources on sports where we cannot excel. Singapore football is nothing but rubbish."

Shahril double fires LionsXII to Perak win

A double fr LionsXII captain Shahril Ishak helped his side 2 a 2-1 victory over Perak, whose 100% home record in the Malaysian Super League ended on Tuesday evening.

LionsXII were evidently the better team fr the beginning with the home side failing 2 find their footing early on in the game. Sufian Anuar came close 2 giving LionsXII a much deserved early lead, but he scuffed his shot over the bar aft a terrific cross fr Shahril Ishak.

The pace of Sufian Anuar was causing mayhem 4 the Perak defenders, while the midfield battle betw Shahril Ishak & Michal Kubala was proving 2 be intriguing.

Perak then had a shout 4 penalty when Lazar Popovic was brought down inside the penalty box, but the referee waved on 4 play 2 continue, much 2 the dismay of the home fans.

As the game continued, Perak began 2 assert themselves in the match, with Fahrul Razi proving 2 be a real menace down the left flank. However, it was the away side tat opened the scoring in the 35th minute, when Shaiful Esah's cross was headed in2 the path of Shahril Ishak by Sufian Anuar, & the skipper did not disappoint by netting his his 4th goal in 3 matches.

Hariss Harun then smashed in a long-distance scorcher which was dispatched well by Nasril Nourdin, as the score remained until half-time.

Aft the break, Perak marched in2 the pitch with fire in the belly as they began 2 show more initiative on the offensive. Their efforts paid immediate dividends as Perak were awarded a penalty in the 48th minute. Kubala's shot was not cleanly saved by Izwan Mahbud & Popovic was brought down as he went 4 the rebound. Kubala finished-off the penalty in style 2 restore parity 4 the Seladangs. But a lengthy delay preceded the penalty kick aft a laser pointer was used on Izwan.

Akhmal Rizal then came close 2 giving Perak the lead, but his fluffed shot went straight @ the keeper in the 65th minute. Tat missed proved 2 be costly as Shahril Ishak netted his 2nd of the game, aft a brilliant cross fr Saiful Esah, 2 restore the lead 4 LionsXII.

Fr tat moment on, Perak's momentum began 2 falter as Sundramoorthy's men dictated proceedings. Both sides managed 2 foster a few key chances 2wards the end of the game, but the scoreline remained 4 a much deserved LionsXII victory.

LionsXII's latest victory saw them climb 2 4th in the MSL table, 6 points behind leaders Kelantan.

They welcome Kuala Lumpur Felda United FC 2 the Jalan Besar Stadium next on 6 March.

Singapore fans react to MSL matchfixing report

Should LionsXII withdraw fr the Malaysian Super League aft the latest match-fixing scandal 2 hit the Malaysian Super League?

That's wat some fans r saying following the latest reports of match-fixing 2 hv hit the league.

A report by The New Paper on Wednesday said tat 3 Malaysian teams r being investigated 4 alleged match-fixing. The news comes slightly more than a month aft Singapore's re-entry 2 the Malaysian football scene aft 17 years.

According 2 the report, the LionsXII is not among the 3 teams under investigation but an investigator fr world governing body Fifa confirmed tat V Sundramoorthy's team had played against some of the suspected teams earlier tis season.

Lions fan Sulaiman Supa'at wrote on Yahoo! Singapore's Facebook wall tat, "Anything tat is dirty will dirty your hands if u touch it. Singapore shld withdraw if the allegations r true. It's not worth our country's reputation & it also takes the shine away fr our players' performances if the results r indeed fixed,"

Another, Mohd Iqbal Hab, agreed & wrote, "Let's leave them alone. We 1 2 watch good soccer."

Business consultant Joshua Tan told Yahoo! Singapore tat as long as the LionsXII r not involved, he said he will continue supporting the team. He also called 4 definite & punitive action if the teams being investigated r found guilty.

"It's only fair 2 dock the points of the guilty teams then. Other than tat, it's no big deal 4 me unless our team is involved. Play hard & clean & people will slowly follow," said Tan.

Another fan Sin Kiang Chua also commented tat, "As long as no LionsXII players or officials r involved , I don't care how many Malaysian clubs r under investigation."

FIFA's match investigator, who goes by the name of John, told TNP tat @ least 1 match involving 1 of the games involving the LionsXII was a "5-star" fix. 5-star is a rating used by FIFA 2 signify tat the match was a "100% fix". In tat game, John added tat "players & officials were involved".

Other games involving the 3 teams r also being investigated but nobody has so far been detained or disciplined.

"Fr now on, every match be monitored by the FAM (Football Association of Malaysia)/Fifa/Asian Football Confederation task force," said John.

The LionsXII r currently 4th in 14-team league aft 8 matches. They beat Perak 2-1 in Ipoh on Tuesday night, with captain Shahril Ishak scoring both goals.

In a strongly-worded statement sent 2 Yahoo! Singapore, the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) said it "carries a 0 tolerance policy when it comes 2 match-fixing".

It added tat a briefing was conducted 4 players & officials of the LionsXII squad by officials fr the CPIB b4 the start of the MSL season.

FAS president Zainudin Nordin told Yahoo! Singapore tat match-fixing is a problem tat affects football leagues around the world, but said tat : "Wat we can do is 2 prevent our teams & our players fr getting involved in it & we hv constantly reminded them not 2 get into such trouble."

He also declined 2 say whether any LionsXII player has taken a polygraph test, citing confidentiality reasons.

LionsXII coach V. Sundramoorthy was unavailable 4 comment.

http://sg.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/fit-to-post-sports/lionsxii-firdaus-kasman-fined-10-000-violation-fas-123952201.html

LionsXII’s Firdaus Kasman fined $10,000 for violation of FAS Code of Conduct

The FAS slapped a $10,000 fine on LionsXII midfielder Firdaus Kasman, aft he admitted 2 behaving in a manner tat is "unbecoming" of a FAS ambassador.

The 24-year-old was suspended fr all footballing activities last week aft he was allegedly involved in a theft incident during his belated birthday celebration on 4 February @ Clarke Quay with his fiancé & childhood friend.

The former Tampines Rovers player had recounted being helped 2 the toilet as he felt like vomiting aft consuming some alcohol drinks.

At an internal disciplinary hearing on Tuesday, Firdaus admitted 2 violating clause 1(b) of the FAS code of conduct, which states tat as an ambassador of FAS, he "must avoid putting himself in a situation tat could disparage the image of Singapore, FAS, his club or fellow LionsXII players, coaches or officials".

In addition, he was also found guilty of flouting clause 8(f) which bans players fr consuming alcohol @ all times.

In view of his offences, the Panel, which is chaired by FAS vice president Lim Kia Tong & comprised council member Mohamed Muzammil & FAS deputy secretary secretary P. Sivakumar decided 2 fine Firdaus the sum, which amounted 2 nearly 3 times his monthly salary.

In addition 2 the fine, Firdaus also has 2 conduct talks on the
consequences of breaching the FAS code of conduct 2 the LionsXII, Young Lions & the respective National Football Academy Teams.

When delivering the decision of the panel, Lim, who is also the chairman of the Asian Football Confederation's Disciplinary Committee & a Member of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee, said they were "extremely mindful" of the fact tat Firdaus was so intoxicated tat he required assistance 2 the toilet.

"(It) was a conduct which brings negative publicity, embarrassment or disrepute 2 FAS & has tarnished & disparaged the image of Singapore & FAS," he said, and added: "Firdaus' misconduct should be met with a punishment tat will send a strong deterrent signal 2 him & all like-minded players @ all levels of the game, tat FAS will not tolerate nor condone tis form of misbehaviour as well as other misbehaviours including smoking."

He noted however tat the player was remorseful of his actions & had offered a "sincere & qualified apology 2 the FAS, 2 his coaches, team management, support staff & players of LionsXII, the fans, his family & his loved 1s".

The panel also took into account Firdaus' unblemished disciplinary record prior 2 tis indiscretion.

In his written statement 2 the FAS, LionsXII coach V. Sundramoorthy also described Firdaus as "a disciplined & courteous player" whom he never had any trouble with.

The coach also expressed confidence tat Firdaus will not re-offend & tat he will guide the latter "2 be a better player & a better individual".

Firdaus also openly expressed regret over his actions. "Tis is a heavy punishment, which is nearly 3 months of my salary. However, I hv accepted it. I treasure tis chance & I shall constantly remind myself & the other players of the terms of the code of conduct which we had promised 2 comply when we signed it."

Promising 2 be a model professional in future, Firdaus said his immediate priority is 2 resume training & 2 win back his place in the LionsXII team.

Fans were also willing 2 welcome Firdaus back into the fold. Freelance copywriter Sebastian Fernandez, 38, said wat is most important is tat the player learn fr his mistakes. "Every1 deserves a 2nd chance. So if he is truly repentant, he should still be allowed 2 represent LionsXII."

Two LionsXII matches under probe for kelong

A day aft it was revealed some teams in the Malaysian Super League (MSL) r under investigations 4 match-fixing, new revelations showed tat @ least 2 LionsXII matches hv been flagged up as being "confirmed fixes".

A report by The Straits Times on Thursday said tat the Singapore outfit's wins against Sabah on 21 January & Negeri Sembilan last Saturday r under probe by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) & world governing body FIFA.

According 2 the report, 4 other MSL matches hv also been red-flagged as"confirmed fixes". But no players or officials fr the LionsXII r being investigated.

FAM vice president Hamidin Amin was quoted in the report as saying 1 or 2 MSL teams r involved in ongoing investigations & tat the association will release its findings in 2 to 3 weeks.

The news comes slightly more than a month aft Singapore's re-entry 2 the Malaysian football scene aft 17 years.

LionsXII coach V. Sundramoorthy declined 2 comment on the allegations when contacted by Yahoo! Singapore on Thursday, but FAS president Zainudin Nordin said both the players & officials in the team were warned abt match-fixing & its consequences by the CPIB b4 the MSL season kicked off last month.

He added: "Match-fixing is a problem tat affects football leagues around the world. What we can do is 2 prevent our teams & our players fr getting involved in it & we hv constantly reminded them not 2 get into such trouble."

LionsXX skipper Shahril Ishak echoed Zainudin's comments.

Speaking 2 The New Paper, he said:"I would like 2 believe tat there was no kelong & while I can say tat our team play with a clear conscience, certain things r out of our control."

Still, Shahril, who is the team's top scorer with 5 goals so far, added in the same report tat he thinks "there was anything fishy, particularly in any of the 8 matches we've played so far".

Meanwhile, the FAS issued a strongly-worded statement 2 Yahoo! Singapore on Wednesday, reiterating its "zero tolerance policy when it comes 2 match-fixing".

Since The New Paper reported on Wednesday abt possible match-fixing in Malaysian football, some fans hv called 4 the LionsXII 2 withdraw fr the tournament.

Lions fan Sulaiman Supa'at wrote on Yahoo! Singapore's Facebook wall tat, "Anything tat is dirty will dirty your hands if u touch it. Singapore shld withdraw if the allegations r true. It's not worth our country's reputation & it also takes the shine away fr our players' performances if the results r indeed fixed,"

Another, Mohd Iqbal Hab, agreed and wrote, "Let's leave them alone. We 1 2 watch good soccer."

Another fan Sin Kiang Chua also commented tat, "As long as no LionsXII players or officials r involved , I don't care how many Malaysian clubs r under investigation."

The LionsXII r currently 4th in 14-team league aft 8 matches. They beat Perak 2-1 in Ipoh in their recent match on Tuesday night, with captain Shahril Ishak scoring both goals.



http://sg.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/fit-to-post-sports/lions-coach-raddy-losing-touch-082400338.html

Is Lions coach Raddy losing his touch?

Singapore national football coach Raddy Avramovic's latest 25-men team selection for 2 upcoming Lions games is puzzling.

The Lions r scheduled 2 play Azerbaijan in a friendly game in the UAE next Friday b4 taking on Iraq in a final dead rubber group game of their 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign on 29 Feb.

With no points fr the 5 previous games, Singapore is set 2 finish last in Group A of the qualifiers, rendering tis tie meaningless.

The next major competition in line 4 the national team is the ASEAN Football Championships (or Suzuki Cup) in December.

With tis mind, Raddy would do well 2 select players expected 2 compete 4 a place in the eventual Suzuki Cup squad, as well as youngsters whom he might like 2 assess personally.

The biggest surprise is no doubt the omission of evergreen striker Aleksandar Duric.

Even @ the ripe age of 41, he has been 1 of the more consistent performers in the Lions squad. He passed the mandatory beep test 4 the S-League with little fuss & is the current captain of his S-League club side Tampines Rovers.

As long as he stays injury-free, there is little reason why he should not be involved in Singapore's campaign in the ASEAN Football Championships.

Raddy has argued on record tat Duric's omission was 2 make way 4 other players 2 come thru the ranks. However ……it is surprising 2 see Qiu Li is in the team.

The China-born striker played 1 good game 4 Singapore in 2011 — against Malaysia in the 2nd Round of the Qualifiers — where he scored with a superb free-kick. Thereafter, he disappointed & looked overawed @ international level.

He has not featured in both Home United matches tis season thus far, so there definitely r some question marks over his match-fitness level.

14 of 25 players called up by Raddy come fr the Malaysia Super League side LionsXII.

But arguably the man of the moment, striker Sufian Anur, has been left out. The 24-year-old forward has just enjoyed 2 eye-catching outings 4 LionsXII, pairing up superbly with Shahril Ishak upfront.

The hardworking striker gave everything in his 1st 2 starts 4 LionsXII & was clearly instrumental as his team picked up 6 points.

Incidentally, the player he replaced in LionsXII, Agu Casmir, made it back 2 the national team aft a hiatus in 2011. Agu's last significant contribution 2 the national team was his lacklustre involvement in the 2010 Suzuki Cup.

Many will agree with me when I say that Agu's performances 4 LionsXII hv clearly been sub-par. Despite his enthusiasm, he clearly lacks the cutting edge tat made him 1 of the most feared strikers in the region just a few years ago.

What Agu is clearly lacking is confidence & form, so I doubt 2 very tough international games @ tis stage will be of any help.

The continued absence of the trio of John Wilkinson, Ahmad Latiff Khamaruddin & Noh Alam Shah is even more baffling.

Wilkinson & Ahmad Latiff r perhaps 2 of the most technically gifted players Singapore has 2 offer. Both players enjoyed good seasons with their respective clubs in 2011 & look set 2 do so again in 2012.

Wilkinson played a season in the Thailand Premier League with Police United & was made captain of the team tat eventually finished mid-table. He has since returned 2 Singapore with Home United & is expected 2 play a key role 4 the Protectors in 2012.

Ahmad Latiff was a key player 4 Tampines Rovers in 2011 as his club went on 2 win the league title. He is highly versatile & can operate along either flank or upfront. He look set 2 feature prominently in the Stags' current campaign.

When Singapore last won the Suzuki Cup in 2006, Noh Alam Shah was pivotal & was the top scorer 4 tat tournament with 10 goals. However, the mercurial striker last played 4 the national side in 2010, despite enjoying a bright spell with Indonesian outfit Arema Malang, where he grew fr strength 2 strength 2 become a cult hero @ the club.

All things being equal, the trio r usually shoo-ins 4 the national side, so Raddy's latest selection is baffling @ the least.

If Raddy's aim is 2 do well in the Suzuki Cup tis year, he needs 2 be able 2 select his best squad of players based on merit.

If not, he risks sending out all the wrong signals 2 deserving players dying 4 a call-up 2 the national team.

is this a conspiracy? how come everytime when we start winning, news of fixed matches surfaced???

When people kelong, they want to win money from gambling right? I think the authorities measure the amount of money flowing into bets versus the odds when a certain result comes out.

Watch the highlights. Any kelong for you? After reading the report, I wonder if the 'handball' penalty was deliberate. Do we seem like we have a lot of time on the ball?

Is Lions coach Raddy losing his touch?

Singapore national football coach Raddy Avramovic's latest 25-men team selection for 2 upcoming Lions games is puzzling.



This chap already lost the touch donkey years ago.....why he is still the coach remains very much a mystery to me.

Hard to see from the highlights....I didn't get to see the entire match.
So the Sembilan players "walk" the match so we can win comfortably??

I'm wondering about the kelong too. The 3rd goal looks ... Go re-look it. Could the last defender have easily cleared it? Could the goalie have easily shouted and collected it? Anyway, it's sad to be even wondering these questions. If every football mistake is seen as kelong, who dare to play football?

I was reading The New Paper. Kelantan deregistered their striker, who scored a penalty against us, at 3.30 pm on the day they are supposed to play Selangor. A new striker was added to the squad. The coach has never seen the new striker in action before the match. The new striker then didn't play well in the 2nd half. Kelantan lost 2-1 to Selangor. What rubbish is this? Is this fooball politics or kelong? New Striker was signed by Kelantan FA president.

Suddenly, the S-League seems so well organised. :( although few will watch the S-league still.

Crappy League.

FIFA should spend time to find the fixers and jail those idiots that fix matches. Easier said than done but least spend time to dig deeper. Rather then say oh this match is fix and that match is fix.
Catching players , ban them, new players will always step up and succumb to greed. Human Nature.

Malaysia FA Cup Preview: UiTM vs LionsXII

LionsXII will be visiting the UiTM Mini Stadium in Shah Alam on Saturday night as they prepare 2 face UiTM in their FA Cup clash. V. Sundramoorthy's men hv been in terrific shape as of late, & Shahril Ishak's splendid form will make tis clash an all intriguing 1.

UiTM FC hv not played a single match tis year, with the FAM League being postponed indefinitely due 2 several issues relating 2 the participating teams' insurance. They r regarded as mid-tablers in the FAM League, & finished in 7th place last year, with only 24 four points in the bag.

Their weakness in defence is visible thru statistics, with UiTM having scored 27 goals, but also conceding the exact same number in 20 league matches last year. However, a squad revamp took place in the off-season, & they may spring a surprise on the away side.

Nonetheless, it is vital 2 note tat LionsXII r showing no signs of easing off their impressive run of form. A 1-1 draw against Selangor in the highly-anticipated derby clash was followed by a morale-boosting win over Negeri Sembilan @ home. Their run of form continued with a crucial away win over Perak last Tuesday, in which Shahril Ishak netted 2 goals.

The skipper has already scored 5 goals in his last 3 matches & is likely 2 start again upfront on Saturday. Sufian Anuar has been impressive, but a starting berth could be given 2 Agu Casmir, 2 revitalize his goalscoring form. Madhu Mohana is likely 2 keep his place @ right back, while Hariss Harun will continue 2 dictate fr midfield.

The stage has been set 4 a David vs Goliath battle. But while the away side head into tis 1 as massive favourites, predictability will never be a cliche in football.

UiTM 0-3 LionsXII: Shaiful Esah nets stunning goal as Lions march into second round

All bets were laid in favour of the LionsXII team prior 2 tis David vs Goliath clash, with the LionsXII heading into it as massive favourites. Predictably so, Sundramoorthy's men started the match strongly.

Within the 1st 10 mins of the game, Shahdan Sulaiman picked out Shaiful Esah on the left hand side with a good pass. The latter then managed a 1st-time volley which rattled the post b4 hitting the back of the net, leaving UiTM's goalkeeper shell-shocked.

However, the torment was not abt 2 stop 4 the home side, as LionsXII doubled their lead just 5 mins later courtesy of a Madhu Mohana header. Shaiful's free-kick found Madhu's head perfectly as the right back nodded the ball home fr close range, 2 extend their lead.

But UiTM slowly found their rhythm as the game proceeded. Mohd Shafiq's shot came agonizingly close, but unfortunately flew over the bar. Meor Nasrullah then found some space on the right flank & launched a teasing cross into the box but the on-rushing Mohd Hidayat failed 2 make any contact with ball.

The LionsXII were beginning 2 show signs of complacency @ tis point of time, with Nasril Izzat testing Hyrulnizam fr long range, b4 Saiful Riduwan's shot skimmed abv the bar in the 38th minute. Nonetheless, the score remained in favour of the away side until half time.

The 2nd-half took off on a rather similar note, with Safuwan's header going wide aft a terrific cross fr Shaiful Esah. However, UiTM were not prepared 2 go down easily in tis fixture, with Hidayat's superb shot forcing a save fr Hyrulnizam on the hour mark.

It started 2 become a rather drabby encounter, with both sides battling mainly in midfield. However, LionsXII managed 2 force in a late 3rd goal in the 83rd minute as UiTM's skipper Shahir Ismail headed in2 his own net aft a speculative cross fr Shahdan on the right.

Despite the defeat, UiTM gave a good account of themselves, while 4 V. Sundramoorthy's side, they will gladly return home 2 rest & recuperate b4 their next match against Felda United on March 3rd.

Singapore defender Baihakki Khaizan credits the birth of his child for his remarkable form

Singapore national team & LIONSXII defender Baihakki Khaizan reveals the life-changing moment tat he attributes 4 his magnificent form in recent months & his desire 2 become the next 100-cap centurion in Singapore football.

Back in 2009, Baihakki decided 2 take a leap of faith & head 4 Indonesian shores & his stay there saw him spend 3 years representing Indonesian domestic giants like Persija Jakarta, Persib Bandung & Medan Chiefs.

It was not until 2012 when the former S.League Young Player of the Year made a long-awaited return 2 the sunny shores of Singapore 2 represent the LIONSXII in the Malaysian domestic tournaments.

His comeback as the final member of head coach V.Sundramoorthy’s squad was met with great excitement by the local football fraternity & he subsequently marked his LIONSXII debut against Kelantan with the Republic’s 1st goal aft a 17-year absence fr the tournament.

His form over the past 2 months has been nothing short of spectacular & it is a fact tat he humbly acknowledges was down 2 a ‘life-changing’ moment back in 2011.

2gether with his wife, Norfasarie Mohd Yahya, Baihakki welcomed his 2nd child, a baby girl named Moza Alyka in April 2011 aft having their 1st child, a boy named Mika Bazil in 2009.

Baby Moza was born with a right arm tat ended at her elbow & the brave couple took a stand & cared 4 the precious little princess with dedication & commitment as they believed it was a sign fr God tat it was meant 2 be theirs.

Speaking 2 national team media officer, Kelvin Leong @ the team hotel on Thursday, the lanky defender recounted the difficult time.

He said: “I hv gone thru the ups & downs in life both on & off the pitch. Everybody around me knows tat my baby daughter Moza is the main reason tat changed me. Her arrival gave me a sudden strength 2 turn my life around. She is the life-changing moment 4 me. I honestly feel tat I can run thru a wall becos of the strength she gives me. Her arrival was a hit tat made me realize I cannot be cruising thru my life anymore. Tat maybe it was a new start & I had 2 take life very seriously & make the best of it. Tis has helped me in my football & also the way I run my business off the pitch.”

While Baihakki soldiers on as the proud father of a loving family, his fierce desire 2 succeed on the pitch has never been stronger. He has set himself targets & he is going all out 2 achieve them.

Touching on his team, the LIONSXII, the former Geylang United & Young Lions footballer explained why he felt such a strong connection 4 the squad even b4 signing up 4 the project.

“There are 3 key reasons 4 my newfound form & passion 4 the game. The 1st 1 is still down 2 the life changing moment when my daughter arrived while the 2nd has 2 be my time playing overseas in Indonesia. Playing weekly in front of huge crowds gave me the confidence 2 walk into any stadium without being intimidated & focus on my own game,”

“And lastly, I look @ the LIONSXII as a national project tat can revive the football fervour & bring fans back 2 the stadiums while also helping build camaraderie betw fellow Singaporeans. Tis can only be good 4 Singapore football & I m just playing my part 2 help.” proclaimed the proud Singaporean footballer.

While he has promised 2 continue flying the LIONSXII flag high in the Malaysian domestic tournaments, Baihakki also has his sights set on another landmark achievement tat comes with being involved with the national team under Coach Radojko Avramovic who called up the defender 4 the 1st time 2 face Azerbaijan & Iraq in February 2012 aft a 1-year absence.

“1st of all, I m delighted 2 be back in the national team. As 4 the football part of it, I m enjoying myself & I don’t 1 2 change anything. I feel tat I m in great shape both on & off the field @ the moment & I 1 2 continue tis way becos I m really happy with my football & life.” he continued 2 state his personal & team targets he has set 4 himself.

“My personal target is 2 get 100 international caps representing Singapore. It is a personal goal tat I really hope 2 achieve so tat I can tell myself tat I hv done it. To be part of a distinguished list of centurions who r all legends of local football. As 4 the team, I will do all I can 2 fight 4 my place in the national setup with the AFF Suzuki Cup @ the end of the year as the big one. As ASEAN players, the Suzuki Cup is 1 of the biggest honours & I would love 2 be part of a team tat brings it home come end of the year.”

Anyone who knows Baihakki or has seen him play will be able 2 identify with the man’s strong drive 4 success & it will take alot 2 stop the 28-year-old fr achieving his footballing dreams if he maintains the sizzling form tat has seen him become an integral piece of the LIONSXII puzzle.

And lest we forget, he has the support of a family who hv shown a close bond unlike any other. While Norfasarie, Mika & baby Moza backing him fr the stands, u can say tat Baihakki Khaizan is back bigger & better than b4.

LionsXII 3-1 Felda United: Shahril Ishak scores and misses a penalty as the Lions leap to second in the standings

The LionsXll moved 2 joint-2nd in the table with Terengganu in the Malaysia Super League aft beating Felda United 3-1 @ the Jalan Besar Stadium.

Despite missing out with star defenders Safuwan Baharudin & Juma'at Jantan, the Lions didn’t seem troubled as they got the lead 6 mins in2 the game.

Midfielder Shadan Sulaiman ‘s corner-kick caused a scramble in the box & just when the ball seemed 2 go out of play, Baihakki Khaizan headed the ball back 2 the on-coming Harris Harun who made no mistake fr 2-yards out 2 give the team the lead.

Aft the goal, the Lions started 2 dominate possession but Felda stunned the home crowd with a Raimi Nor free-kick, aft Ahmad Fakri got hacked down by Shakir Hamzah outside the box.

Aft the equalizing goal, Felda seemed 2 get hold of the momentum & started 2 create more chances, with Raimi & striker Cire Dia both having chances 2 grab the lead but it was all wasted.

The Lions then switched 2 a more attacking 4-4-2 aft Agu Casmir replaced the injured Baihakki @ half time & it paid off immediately with Sufian Anuar directing Shandan’s weak shot in 2 make it 2-1 in the 50th min.

But barely featuring 4 more than 15 mins, Agu was brought down due 2 a groin injury with Khairul Nizam replacing him.

Isa Halim then earned LionsXll a penalty in the 66th minute, as Lot Hassan who came on not long b4 brought him down in the area & captain Shahril Ishak slotted in home coolly 2 give the team a 2-goal lead.

2 add on to Felda’s misery, they had 2 play the match with 10 men 4 the last 10 mins as substitute Farderin Kadir was stretchered-off aft a hard tackle by Isa & was deemed unable 2 continue & Felda had already used up all their substitutes.

Taking advantage of having an extra player, the Lions surged 4ward in an attempt 2 find a 4th goal tat will surely kill off the match & they had another penalty in the 85th minute as Khairul was brought down by Felda’s keeper Hamsani Ahmad in the box.

Shahril stepped up 2 take the penalty again but had his shot saved well by Hamsani. The LionsXII captain then blasted the rebounding ball over despite looking odds on 2 score.

Aft their 4th consecutive win in all competitions, LionsXll will host NS Betaria in the Malaysia FA Cup tis Saturday, while Felda United will take on PKNS FC next Friday in a Malaysia Super League match.

The match started out with both teams stroking the ball around 2 get a feel of the pitch. LIONSXII started off the better of the 2 sides with most of the possession in the 1st half an hour going 2 them.

The home side went on the offensive right fr the start with the 1st chance coming in as early as the 3rd minute. A free kick swung in by Shahdan Sulaiman, was met by a header by 4ward, Sufian Anuar, but his attempt was just wide of the post.

Chances 4 both teams were few & far between, with LIONSXII dominating the centre of the pitch.

In the 39th minute, midfielder, Isa Halim, came close 2 breaking the deadlock. A run by Captain Shahril Ishak down the right flank, found Isa @ the edge of the box, but Isa's shot was punched away by the NS Betaria FC's custodian, Faizal Yusoff.

Both teams headed in2 the break with the score remaining goal-less.

The 2nd half saw no changes 2 either team. The home side pressed hard in search 4 their goal, & their efforts paid off in the 55th minute. Collecting a pass @ the edge of the penalty box fr Isa Halim, skipper Shahril, side-stepped a defender 2 create space 4 himself, 2 unleash an unstoppable shot, 2 make the score 1-nil, in favour of the home side.

With the goal in hand, LIONSXII continued 2 pressure NS Betaria FC's back line. The home side eventually got their 2nd goal in the 84th minute aft some nifty play in the opponents' penalty area. Shahdan Sulaiman, providing Sufian Anuar with a deft back-heel, in which the latter cheekily flicked the ball over the on-rushing keeper, 2 secure their 2-nil win. The comfortable win by LIONSXII sees them thru 2 the quarter-finals of the Malaysian FA Cup.

Speaking aft the match, assistant coach 4 NS Betaria FC, Samba mentioned, "I m happy with my team's performance 2day as they played according 2 plan.

Sarawak 0 - 1 LionsXII : Ishak's penalty seals win

The game started promisingly for the home team with Sarawak taking the Lions by the horns. The visiting Lions were left stunned as they remained pinned at their half, absorbing Sarawak's continuous attacks.

Zamri Morshidi came close to putting the home team in front, but his shot was denied by Lions replacement goalkeeper Hyrulnizam Jumaat. Sarawak continued to dominate play as the retained possession much to the delight of the roaring crowd.

However, the Lions almost came close to slotting a goal when Madhu Mohana's header cannoned off the crossbar. One of the floodlights then went off, and the game turned a little dull after it resumed with both teams failing to create clear chances. Sarawak however had more chances before Hyrulnizam's complain of crowd trouble stopped the game.

The second-half resumed with the Crocs determined to win the game, however, their effort was foiled by poor finishing. In the 71st minute, the Lions got their lucky break when Yosri Derma Raju's hand hit the ball inside the penalty area to concede a soft penalty. Sharil Ishak came forward, and powered home the spot kick, giving the Lions the lead.

Sarawak didn't give up, and started to launch countless attacks. Their effort was however denied by the heroic Hyrulnizam who saved not less than six shots on his goal. The Lions seemed comfortable with the one-goal lead and afforeded taking Shahril off for Khairul Nizam.

As the game grew more tense the referee brandished more cautions, more for the home team who were not too pleased about the official's decisions.

Sarawak, however, failed to hit the target in the dying minutes with their best effort after Ashri's free-kick which looked to be heading in was tipped wide by Hyrulnizam, handing the Lions XII a lucky win for the night.

LionsXII contingent in security scare in Sarawak following fan unrest

LionsXII players r being kept in the Sarawak Stadium 4 precautionary measures while the travelling fans needed heavy security aft unrest by the home fans @ the end of the match betw the Singapore side & Sarawak.

The match ended 1-0 to the Singapore side following a controversial penalty decision by the referee.

Sarawak fan Cyril Dason who was in attendance noted, "The bus as I can see can't move becos the fans r blocking the gate. They r however chanting unpleasant words. Physical abuse? I dont see any, except 4 the [verbal] 1s aimed @ the referee when the game ended."

"Fans r angry with biased referring. Lions r just mere victims of the situation created by the referee."

Fansite Sarawakbloggers.net also described the situation.

"The huge crowd has disabled any1 including the Sarawak players fr leaving the stadium, as buses shuttling officials & players r not able 2 be moved.

"As 4 now, no harm has been reported, but 1 ambulance was seen leaving the state stadium, probably sending an injured Sarawak player which was tacked hardly in the game.

"Dissatisfied fans seen 2 be merely standing around, taking photos of wat is on-going, while hurling bad words 2 the officials. The RELA team is there monitoring the situation while awaiting the FRU 2 arrive. No physical abuse 2 the Lions XII team, or officials hv been reported.

"The LionsXII fans were seated opposite the main grandstand throughout the game, with police ensuring their safety. It is almost impossible 4 them 2 be entangled in tis crowd unless they hv decided 2 move 2 the main grandstand aft the game. They should be @ their hotel anytime now."

Fan unrest had begun during the match as LionsXII goalkeeper Hyrulnizam was pelted with bottles & had a firecracker thrown in his direction. Play was stopped twice 4 crowd unrest & 1s more aft a floodlight failure.

Things became really heated when the visiting side scored fr a controversial penalty decision against the run of play & snatched a victory aft the home side had dominated play.

Malaysian Super League Preview: LionsXII vs Selangor

Old rivals LionsXII & Selangor face 1 another 4 the 2nd time tis season @ the Jalan Besar Stadium on Tuesday. The reverse fixture ended 1-1 with the points shared in a competitive match. Fans fr both sides expect more of the same when the teams meet again.

The LionsXII team would hv 2 put aside the distractions of Saturday night, when Sarawak fans became hostile @ the end of the match. Match officials were targetted & the Lions team bus was prevented fr leaving. Coach V. Sundramoorthy would hv 2 make sure his team hv regained their focus aft a torrid weekend. In particular, goalkeeper Hyrulnizam was pelted with bottles & had a firecracker thrown in his direction.

The Lions team should be unchanged having built up a good understanding as a unit & would be looking 2 extend their highly impressive run of 7 victories on a trot. Despite missing players due 2 injuries, the Lions hv steadied their indifferent start 2 their season & lie 3rd in the league standings, 3 points off leaders Kelantan.

Just like the hosts, Selangor began the season shakily but hv put together a good run & lie in 6th place. Aft a less than flattering start 2 the season, the Red Giants hv improved with victories against Kelantan & Kuala Lumpur. Although they hv found goals hard 2 come by, ex-Aston Villa forward Bosko Balaban has helped lead the line admirably & they r tough 2 break down defensively.

Both teams would be looking 2 improve on their run of form & move up the table. The rivalry betw these 2 teams dates back 2 the inception of the Malaya cup in 1921. Both Selangor & Singapore dominated the proceedings, winning the coveted Malaya/Malaysia Cup a total of 56 times betw them.

LionsXII’s unsung heroes shine

The final score @ the Jalan Besar Stadium read 1-1 on Tuesday night.

But despite conceding a late equaliser 2 Selangor, the LionsXII were fortunate 2 earn a point.

The visitors were clearly the better side, boasting the likes of Malaysia internationals Amri Yahyah & Amirul Hadi Zainal, as well as current Lebanese international Ramez Dayoub.

Their goal-scorer of the night, Croatian Bosko Balaban, is a big name 2 begin with.

At 33, the striker has enjoyed a stellar career; having scored goals in 4 different top-tier European leagues.

Many will also remember him fr his 2-year stint with English Premier League side Aston Villa a decade ago, not 4getting his 35 international caps & appearance in the 2002 & 2006 FIFA World Cup.

However, 2 LionsXII players stood out on Tuesday night - goal scorer Sufian Anuar & custodian Hyrulnizam Jumaat.

Sufian was just a bit-part player 4 Home United in the S-League & had only scored twice throughout the entire 2011 season b4 joining the LionsXII.

His goal against Selangor, his 3rd of the season, will certainly give coach V. Sundramoorthy a "healthy selection headache" when the injured Agu Casmir returns fr injury.

It is a similar situation in the LionsXII's goalkeeping department, judging fr the form of custodian Hyrulnizam Jumaat.

Despite playing 2nd fiddle to Shahril Jantan @ SAFFC last year, Hyrulnizam produced another sterling performance when he was called upon 2 stand in 4 Izwan Mahbud, & he didn't disappoint.

Throughout the game, Hyrulnizam produced 1 save aft another, & he was called upon in stoppage time 2 deny Balaban the best chance of the night fr scoring the match-winning goal.

Thwarting the illustrious Croatian may well be 1 of Hyrulnizam memorable moments in his football career.

4 him & Sufian, they were undoubtedly my unsung heroes 4 the LionsXII.

Biggest (ironic) Cheer of the Night: It was reserved 4 Balaban, who was booked by the referee 4 persistent play-acting in the 1st half. Fr then, fans jeered the Croat whenever he got the ball.

(Could-have-been-the) Goal of the Season: Hariss Harun was not all tat far fr netting perhaps the league's most spectacular goal. In the 70th minute, the defender spotted the Selangor custodian off his line fr the middle of the park but his shot was inches off the crossbar.

Save of the Season: Hyrnulnizam's acrobatic reflex save in stoppage time which denied Selangor the winning goal.

Biggest Jeer of the Night: Balaban 4 his poor sportsmanship @ the end of the match. The Croat ignored the customary handshake betw both teams & headed 2 the dressing room instead. Shame on you, Bosko.

Malaysia FA Cup Preview: Terengganu vs LionsXII

The Lions return 2 FA Cup action tis weekend & face a tricky 1st-leg away tie @ Terengganu. In their last outing the Lions were pegged back by a late Bosko Balaban freekick 2 draw 1-1 against Selangor.

The Lions will be hoping 2 improve on tat result & will be hoping tat captain Shahril Ishak recovers in time fr his niggling injury 2 lead the team. Against Selangor, Shahril's creativity was missing & the Lions seemed 2 lack ideas in the final 3rd. Sufian Anuar cut a lonely figure & struggled 2 lead the line by himself, highlighting Shahril's importance 2 the team.

Aft a strong run of 6 wins on a trot, the Lions only managed a hard-earned point against Selangor & would be looking 2 return 2 winning ways in Terengganu. Coach Sundramoorthy expects a good away showing & was positive abt his team's chances. "We know our strengths & if we play 2 it, we hv a good chance in the 2nd-leg" he said @ the press conference aft the Selangor match.

Terengganu hv been impressive in the league tis season & lie in 3rd place, 3 points behind leaders Kelantan. Terengganu hv been bouyed by the partnership Francis Doe & Abdul Manaf Mamat hv forged upfront. Liberian Doe has netted an impressive total of 10 goals tis season & the Lions hv 2 watch him closely. The Turtles were humbled by Hong Kong side Kitchee in the AFC Cup in their last outing & will be looking 4 a positive reaction against the Lions.

The teams meet 4 the return leg on Tuesday @ the Jalan Besar Stadium & both teams will be keen 2 gain the advantage in tis tie. The winner of tis quarter-final tie would next face Sime Darby FC or Johor FC in the semi-finals.

Terengganu 1 - 0 LionsXII : Joseph Kalang Tie's strike hands slim 1st leg win for home side

(FAC QF 1st leg)

http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/ECzc_tnuxVcgn.QlZcIvog--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9aW5zZXQ7aD0yMzA7cT04NTt3PTM1MA--/http://media.zenfs.com/en_SG/News/GOAL.com/165222_hp.jpg

Terengganu will be taking a slim margin of victory to the Jalan Besar Stadium on Tuesday night after they overcame LionsXII 1-0 at the Stadium Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah.

The home side dominated play from the get go but were kept at bay by a resilient visiting side who had come to Terengganu with the clear strategy of defending.

Francis Forkey Doe who struck the winner in Singapore the last time these two teams met, was the first to draw blood. The Liberian forward amazingly struck the foot of the upright in the opening ten minutes when just inches from the goalmouth and only Hyrulnizam Juma'at to beat.

Doe was a constant threat for LionsXII who had a torrid time keeping him and his strike partner, Joseph Kalang Tie shackled. Tie, incidentally, was booked just before the break for half-time after a bad challenge on LionsXII stand-in captain Hariss Harun; the forward having reached his threshold for frustration after not being able to get past a stubborn LionsXII defence.

Crowd trouble, however, surfaced yet again, as bottles and other assortments were tossed on to the pitch. Match officials eventually stopped play close to the half-time whistle as the problems continued.

But the real turning point for the match was on 54 minutes when Hariss, who had been deputising in place of the still missing Shahril Ishak, was given his marching orders after striking out at Doe, following a tussle for the ball.

Terengganu then upped the ante as they took full control of the match.

Just over ten minutes after going a man down, LionsXII found themselves a goal down as well.

Tie's clever individual effort after the tenacious forward had created room for himself whistled into the bottom far corner, much to the delight of the capacity crowd of largely Terengganu fans.

LionsXII 0-0 Terengganu: Lions fail to progress against a resolute Terengganu side

The LionsXII gave it their all against a determined Terengganu side but fell short in the 2nd-leg quarter-final tie @ the Jalan Besar Stadium. Spurred on by a strong crowd of 6,488 fans the Lions took the game 2 the visitors & played a pulsating 90 mins but were unlucky not 2 score.

The Lions started the game brightly, attacking fr the start but missed their regular 4wards, Sufian Anuar & Shahril Ishak. Khairul Nizam deputised admirably in their absence but was let down by poor balls in the final 3rd. Despite having the lion's share of the possession 4 most of the game, the Lions failed 2 deliver the telling ball in the final 3rd. Despite being an injury doubt Francis Forkey Doe started up front 4 Terengganu & was a threat with his physical presence. When the Lions finally put moves together, they were stopped by the domineering keeper Sharbinee Ramli.

The 1st chance of the game fell 2 Nizam on 15 mins. Aft great work by Irwan Shah on the flank, Irwan put in a glorious cross. Nizam was inches away fr connecting 2 it aft ghosting past his defender.

The Lions were keeping Terengganu @ bay & restricting them 2 long shots. The hosts were pressing the ball well & winning set pieces but failed 2 make them count. As the half wore on, the Lions faded & Terengganu grew in2 the game.

Doe, who was being booed @ every touch, went close with an effort just b4 half time when he made space 4 himself but fired narrowly wide. The half ended goalless.

The 2nd half started in similar fashion with the Lions seeing plenty of the ball. Shahdan Sulaiman was instrumental in midfield & orchestrated most of the offensive play. The Lions continued 2 press but were not creating clear cut chances.

The fans cried out 4 captain Shahril Ishak & coach V. Sundramoorthy sent him on aft 57 mins. Shahril tried 2 create chances but the Terengganu team marked him in numbers & handled the threat well.

Both coaches made further substitutions, the Lions 2 freshen up the attack & Terengganu 2 keep the team tight @ the back.

The Lions then had 2 glorious chances 2 win the game. 1st, on 89 mins Shahdan sent in an inviting cross & Madhu Mohana connected well with it & headed past the keeper only 2 see it go agonizingly wide.

Then, 2 mins later, Safuwan went close with a header fr a Shahdan delivery but saw the keeper deal well with it. Tat was to be the last chance of the game.

The final whistle brought cheers 2 the visiting fans & heartbreak 2 the Lions players. Terengganu progress 2 the semi-finals 1-0 on aggregate 2 face Sime Darby FC.

Singapore race vow after 'monkey' taunts

Singapore football officials vowed "0 tolerance" of racism on Wednesday aft a visiting Liberian player responded 2 racial taunts by raising his middle finger 2 the crowd.

Abuse of Terengganu's Francis Forkey Doe, 26, began in the warm-up of Tuesday's Malaysia Cup quarter-final 2nd leg against Singapore's Lions XII, & was also directed @ a dark-skinned linesman, according 2 witnesses.

"There was a group of maybe 7 or 8 fans @ the opposite end of the grandstand who were making racial slurs... Orang hitam (black man) & even nigger also came out," undergraduate Muhammad Nadjad Bin Abdul Rahim, 24, told AFP.

"The rest of the crowd would cheer these guys & some joined in," he added.

Racist jeers were also heard when the linesman awarded a throw-in 4 Terengganu in an incident involving Doe.

"A guy made a comment 'sama (same) colour' & there was a big cheer," Muhammad said.

Doe, who had incurred the wrath of Singapore fans over an incident in which Hariss Harun was sent off in the 1st leg, made the rude gesture 2 fans during the warm-up, the witness added.

"They kept calling me 'monkey' & 'black' & I didn't appreciate tat... Why call me those names? Becos I'm black? Becos I'm African?" the player told Singapore's The New Paper.

"Football is a game, a friendly game. You can't say things like tat. It's not right."

The Football Association of Singapore (FAS) said it had not been informed of the incident, but stated tat it took a strong stance against racism.

"We hv a 0-tolerance policy 4 any form of racism & hv always stressed tat there is no place 4 racial discrimination in our society," a spokesperson fr FAS said.

Race cases hv hit the headlines in football recently with former England captain John Terry facing charges of alleged racial abuse. In Italy, Lazio & Juventus were both fined tis week 4 racist chanting by their fans.

Terangganu reached the Malaysia Cup semi-finals 1-0 on aggregate.

Malaysian Super League Preview: LionsXII vs T-Team

Both the LionsXII & T-Team would be looking 2 bounce back fr demoralising exits fr the Malaysian FA Cup. The Lions were unable 2 overcome a 1-0 defeat in the 1st leg while T-Team were stunned @ home 2-1 by an impressive Kedah.

Tenacious midfielder & vice-captain Hariss Harun returns 2 the side aft being suspended 4 the 2nd leg against Terengganu, which will be a welcome addition 4 LionsXII coach V. Sundramoorthy’s depleted side.

The Lions’ squad has been decimated by injuries crucially in their attacking department with no less than 5 attackers missing. With Khairul Nizam the latest casualty aft limping off in the FA Cup match against Terengganu, doubts remain over V. Sundramoorthy’s ability 2 field 7 substitutes. Against Terengganu, Sundram only had 4 players on the bench.

Sundram will also be hoping tat captain Shahril Ishak, who has been on the bench 4 the past 3 matches will be able 2 start & lead his team.

Despite their long injury list, the Lions remain 2nd in the table & hv managed
2 pick up 21 points in the Malaysia Super League so far, albeit having played an extra game than leaders Kelantan & 3rd-placed Terengganu.

T-Team were shocked @ home by a double fr Mohamad Hamidan & coach Yunus Aliff would be looking 2 deliver an improved performance.

T-Team were guilty of wasting a host of glorious opportunities against Kedah & midfielder Zairo Anuar Zailani, the main culprit of the misses in the previous match, will be looking 2 make amends.

The Lions will be keen 2 put in a positive performance 2 repay the Jalan Besar faithful who hv consistently turned out in strong numbers 2 spur the Lions on.

Budding footballers get shot @ stardom

5 budding footballers were handed a potential ticket 2 stardom on Friday, as part of "The Chance", a global talent search initiative organised by Nike 2 unearth the best young amateur players fr the world over.

Fr now until June, players aged betw 16 & 24 years old will be battling 2 impress selectors 4 the coveted shot @ being the next Lionel Messi.

Aft a football boot camp - headed by former Singapore international & LionsXII head coach V. Sundramoorthy no less - in May, the top 5 players will represent the country in a regional final in Indonesia in June.

There, they will vie with players fr the host country, Thailand & Malaysia 4 a dream ticket 2 Barcelona in August 4 the global finals. These lucky footballers will also get 2 strut their stuff @ the Spanish giants' youth academy.

And fret not even if the local players don't make it in2 Pep Guardiola's team - they can still earn a spot in Sundram's LionsXII squad which is currently competing in the Malaysian Super League.

During yesterday's selection held @ Meridian Junior College where the 5 players- Mohammed Naufal nur Hakim, 19, Mohd Amsyar, 18, Syabil Anwar 16, Muhammad Hairi, 19 & Mohd Khairul, 23 - were picked, Sundram said: "The door is always open 4 the players 2 join LionsXII if they show they r good enough. If they r good enough why deprive them of an opportunity, [why not] give them a chance 2 join us?"

LionsXII go top with win over Negeri Sembilan

The Lions climbed abv Kelantan 2 the top of the Malaysian Super League aft a strong away performance against a depleted Negeri Sembilan side. Goals fr Safuwan Bahrudin, Khairul Nizam, Shahril Ishak & Shahdan Sulaiman gave the Lions a 4-2 victory in Negeri Sembilan. Hosts Negeri Sembilan sorely missed star striker Jean-Emmanuel Effa Owona & struggled 2 break down the Lions.

The game started slowly with both teams finding it tough 2 play their regular passing game on the water-logged pitch. The host began 2 impose themselves in the middle & were winning freekicks in dangerous positions but hardly troubled keeper Hyrul.

The Lions slowly grew in2 the game & took the lead with their 1st attack in the 14th minute. Shahdan's freekick was cleared 4 a throw-in & the ball was played back in2 the Negeri box. The defence made a meal of the clearance & Safuwan blasted the ball home 2 give the visitors the lead.

The Lions soon extended their lead on 20 minutes. Nizam muscled his way past the shaky Mahathvan & kept his cool 2 knock the ball past the diving Negeri keeper & tap home in2 an empty net 4 a 2-0 lead.

The goal sparked live in2 Negeri & they attacked the Lions in numbers. The Lions struggled 2 cope with the physical threat of Shukor & Shahril & were shaky in defence. Negeri pulled a goal back on 32 minutes aft a succession of corners. Hyrul fumbled Fiqri's delivery & the ball fell kindly 2 Mahathevan who made no mistake fr 2 yards out.

Negeri Sembilan continued 2 test the Lions defence with their long balls & set plays but the Lions defence managed 2 keep them @ bay.

On 41 minutes, captain Shahril Ishak added a 3rd 4 the Lions. Mahathevan made a hash of his clearance & Shahril pounced, picking up the loose ball & calmly burying it in2 the bottom corner.

Mahathevan was having a shocker of a game & was hauled of @ half-time 4 Qhairul Anwar in a tactical change.

The 2nd half started with the hosts taking the game 2 the Lions. Shakir & Shukoh were a threat 4 the hosts with their trickery & physical play but could not find a way past the stubborn defence. As the half wore on, the game began 2 be stretched with both teams having chances but wasting them.

On 70 mins, Shahdan got his name on the score-sheet. Shahdan expertly dummied a Shahril pass 2 Hariss Harun in the Negeri box & got 2 the end of the return pass, bundling it home 4 a 4th 4 the Lions.

Both teams then made a host of substitutions as the players began 2 tire. Shukor pulled a consolation goal back 4 Negeri when he head home a corner fr Fiqri but it was 2 little 2 late.

The Lions continued 2 be a threat on the counter attack & Farizal was sent off 4 bringing down Hariss Harun aft he was clean thru. Hariss was brought down aft racing clear fr the Negeri defence & the referee had no choice but 2 send of Farizal. Mohd Alif Shamsudin replaced Faziral 4 the last few minutes as Negeri Sembilan had utilized all 3 substitutes.

The final whistle soon blew & the Lions climb 2 the top of the table till Saturday, when Kelantan resume action.

Kelantan FA Chairman Tan Sri Annuar Musa alleges LionsXII participation in the Malaysian Super League has to do with increasing gambling revenue

Already under investigation by the FAM 4 his outspoken comments on the Malaysian national team, Kelantan FA Chairman, Tan Sri Annuar Musa, took 2 Facebook on Monday 2 allege gambling motives behind the LionsXII return 2 the Malaysian Super League.

Posting on his popular Facebook page, Annuar claimed tat the LionsXII were playing in the Malaysian Super League 2 increase the gambling base of FAS principal partner, Singapore Pools, a legalised betting company.

He went on 2 add: "The LionsXII joined the Malaysian Super League 2 make more money 4 Singapore Pools who r funding the FAS, so the federation is implicated as well & r liable 4 investigation."

Annuar also claimed tat LionsXII were fielding an Under-29 team instead of an Under-23 team as proposed @ the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in August 2011, as a more senior team with recognised players will add 2 the popularity of the team, & hence lead 2 more interest fr punters.

The Kelantan Chairman has been no stranger 2 controversy & was recently embroiled in a public spat with his former Red Warriors coach, Peter Butler who was relieved of his duties soon aft.

In an exclusive with Goal.com Malaysia, Butler had claimed interference fr Annuar with team selection. The latter then put the Englishman's claims down 2 unhappiness over compulsory tax deductions.

Annuar is facing a potential 2-year ban fr all football activities if found guilty of breaching Article 88 of FAM's statutes, which states tat only the Federation's President & Secretray General r permitted 2 make statements on local football.

The Kelantan chief had publicly criticised the Malaysian national team & its coach K.Rajagobal 4 poor performance last month. Initially liable 2 only a small fine, Annuar had exacerbated the situation with further public comments, though he has since backed down & accepted full responsibility & due course of action.

Malaysian striker Safee Sali had also expressed his concern over the matter.

"It is best that those who r not directly involved with the national team not make any comments," he told the New Straits Times.

"Our coach has his own unique style & strategies & as a national player, I believe he is doing his best 2 prepare us 4 the AFF Cup.

"We do not need people 2 be critical @ tis stage as it affects us 2."

Despite the public falling out, Annuar enjoys immense support among the Kelantan faithful. An estimated 1,000 fans lent their backing in a demonstration @ Sultan Mohamad (IV) Stadium in Kota Baru b4 Kelantan's 5-1 win over Felda United on Saturday evening.

Annuar will learn his fate on Wednesday, April 4 when he faces the FAM Disciplinary Committee.

Johor FC 0-1 LionsXII: Crowd unrest mars LionsXII hard-earned victory over Johor

The LionsXII survived a 2nd half onslaught by Johor FC 2 prevail 1-0 @ the J-Corp stadium in Pasir Gudang. 4ward Khairul Nizam's 1st-half effort was enough 4 the Lions & they retained top spot with the victory though the game was marred by crowd unrest late on, & injuries to 3 Lions players.

The Lions started brighter of the 2 sides, working the flanks & trying 2 cause the Johor defence problems.

In the 7th minute, Safuwan Baharudin who scored against Negeri last time out went close with a header but saw Johor keeper Anis Faron tip over acrobatically. As the half wore on Johor grew in confidence & the game became more even. Both teams tried 2 fashion chances but were let down by poor passing in the final 3rd.

The Lions were adopting a high line & Johor came closest fr long range efforts, 1st fr Arturo & then Jabazrin. On 30 mins, the Lions had another chance with Sevki Sha'ban flicking the ball on fr a Madhu Mohana throw only 4 Safuwan to head agonizingly over.

The deadlock was finally broken on 41 mins. Irwan Shah's cross fr the left was knocked down 2 Nizam by Shahril Ishak. Nizam muscled his way in2 space, held of the defenders & poked the ball home past the diving Anis 2 give the Lions the lead.

The 2nd-half was a mirror reflection of the 1st with Johor taking the game 2 the Lions. Johor regrouped @ half time & came @ the Lions with numbers forcing the visitors 2 defend in numbers.

The best chance 4 Johor came on 60 mins when Hyrul produced a top save fr an Arturo header tat was destined 4 the top corner.

Lions coach Sundram was soon forced in2 substitutions & had 2 reshuffle his pack due 2 injury, 1st 2 Isa Halim & then 2 Safuwan.

Johor's Arturo & Riduwan were combining well & kept the Lions on the back foot 4 most of the 2nd-half but they did not carve out many clear cut chances.

The Lions almost snatched a 2nd when Shahdan crossed 4 Nizam on a quick counter attack & Nizam was inches away fr connecting.

Fans unrest marred the end of the game when Lions captain was hurt by an object thrown fr the crowd. Shahril went down holding his head & television replays confirmed an object being thrown @ him. Shahril was stretchered off & the Lions played on with 10 men 4 the remaining mins.

Johor was fimly in control & pressed in vain 4 an equaliser, but the Lions rearguard held firm & played out till the final whistle ensuring their unbeaten away run continues.

Despite the hard-earned victory Lions coach Sundram will be anxiously waiting 4 medical reports on his injured stars & will be hoping they recover in time 2 face Perak on Tuesday.

Malaysia Super League Preview: LionsXII vs Perak FA

A slip-up 4 Kelantan over the weekend @ Sarawak meant Kelantan now trail league leaders LionsXII by 3 points, though they still hv 2 games in hand.

LionsXII meanwhile had ensured tat they were the 1s keeping the pace with a hard-fought 1-0 win over neighbours Johor.

On Tuesday night they will be playing hosts 2 Norizan Bakar's Perak @ Jalan Besar Stadium.

A 2-1 win earlier in the season @ Perak Stadium against a side tat looked 2 be challenging 4 the title & was labelled the best team in the league by V.Sundramoorthy, had strengthened the credentials of the fledgling team.

4 Perak, the defeat set off a run of 4 matches without a win, including 3 consecutive defeats, tat only ended last weekend with a 2-1 win against a weak Kuala Lumpur side.

The poor form of 4ward Lazar Popovic has also been of concern with the Serbian looking likely 2 get the boot by the end of the transfer window.

The striker woes of LionsXII meanwhile look 2 hv ended despite a string of untimely injuries.

Khairul Nizam's 2nd strike in as many games on Saturday was the winning goal @ Pasir Gudang Stadium, & the 4ward has quickly eased in2 the target man cum poacher role.

An injury setback earlier in the season had robbed the 4mer Courts Young Lions player of the opportunity 2 make an impact sooner but since returning & replacing the injured Sufian Annuar, Khairul has looked perfectly in sync with his team-mates.

V.Sundramoorthy will be hoping 2 keep up the good form of his players with another win & extend their lead @ the top of the Malaysian Super League table, though defending champions Kelantan would by then hv 3 matches in hand.

LionsXII 2-1 Perak: Irwan Shah's composed finish gives LionsXII victory against a determined Perak side

In a repeat scoreline of their previous clash, the LionsXII defeated Perak 2-1 in a lively encounter @ the Jalan Besar Stadium.

The Lions were forced 2 make 3 changes 2 their side due 2 injuries but came out firing & were looking 4 the early goal.

The 1st chance of the game fell 2 Firdaus Kasman on 5 mins aft Khairul Nizam's cut back but Firdaus fired straight @ keeper Khairul Amri.

2 mins later, Yasir Hanapi attempted an outrageous volley fr the edge of the box but saw his strike hit the crossbar & go over. Tat chance sparked the Seladangs into life & they drove 4ward in numbers.

On 13 mins, Micheal Kubala, who was @ the heart of all the good moves 4 Perak, went close with a free-kick fr 25 yards but saw his shot saved comfortably by keeper Hyrulnizam.

Safuwan Bahrudin then missed a great chance 2 give his side the lead when he leapt abv keeper Khairul & won a header only 2 see his 2nd header come off the crossbar & be cleared.

The half continued with good passages of play by both teams, but they failed 2 carve out clear cut chances.

The Lions took the lead fr the penalty spot on 41 minutes. Khairul was brought down in the box by Syazwan Roslan 4 the Lions 7th penalty tis season, & Shahdan Sulaiman delivered fr the penalty spot buring his shot 2 the right of the keeper.

The 2nd half resumed in similar fashion with both teams setting out their stall 2 attack.

Perak won a penalty on 50 minutes aft Sevki Sha'ban's tug on Akmal Rizal. Micheal Kubala saw his attempt saved by keeper Hyrul but managed 2 tap home the rebound 2 even the score.

Coach Sundramoorthy sent on captain Shahril Ishak on 58 mins 2 help unlock the stubborn Perak defence.

In a surprising switch, Perak coach Norizan Bakar substituted his goalkeeper Khairul on 68 mins aft he made a blunder fr a routine catch.

As the clock wound down, both teams utilised their remaining substitutions & the game began 2 be stretched.

Safuwan was sent upfield 2 support Agu Casmir & tat move proved decisive. On 87 mins, Shakir Hamzah's punt upfield was knocked down brilliantly 2 Irwan Shah who kept his composure 2 produce an exquisite finish past the diving keeper.

That goal sent the Jalan Besar faithful in2 loud raptures & they sensed victory. Perak came 4ward in numbers but were unable 2 find an equaliser.

The Lions held on firmly till the final whistle & stretched their lead @ the top of the table to 6 points.

Can the LionsXII win the Malaysian Super league?

With 11 games left 2 play, LionsXII r 6 points clear @ the top of the Malaysian Super League (MSL).

So the big question: Can our boys hold their nerves in the final stages of the season 2 emerge champions come July?

Detractors will point out tat Kelantan hv 3 games in hand & V.Sundramoorthy's team still hv 2 visit Kota Baru on 4th May 4 wat may well be a title-decider.

But past players r convinced tat the current squad, led by captain & top-scorer Shahril Ishak, hv the pedigree 2 emulate Fandi Ahmad & the title-winning Dream Team of 1994.

Abbas Saad, who played in that 1994 team, describes the LionsXII as "1 of the best teams" in the league, while 4mer Singapore captain Aide Iskandar has "no doubt" the LionsXII hv wat it takes.

LionsXII head coach Sundram has so far been careful 2 temper the expectations of his young team, saying tat they r merely in contention 4 a top-3 finish.

But wat do u, the fans, think?

Will the LionsXII emerge champions in their 1st season back in the MSL?

The Malaysians will then impose a strict under-23 rule if we do too well in the league. There will still be a Malaysia Cup after the league ends right? The FA Cup is different from the Malaysia Cup right? I hope we do well in the Malaysia cup. Traditionally, we seem to view winning the Cup as more important as winning the league.

The Malaysians will then impose a strict under-23 rule if we do too well in the league. There will still be a Malaysia Cup after the league ends right? The FA Cup is different from the Malaysia Cup right? I hope we do well in the Malaysia cup. Traditionally, we seem to view winning the Cup as more important as winning the league.

I believed they are trying to "fix" us up seeing our boys do well.
So anything can happen.
I'm not sure what is the precedent...in past seasons...it Malaysia Cup only...n it is league then Cup.....now is got both league n cup.
But we already out of the FA Cup liao.
So just left the league.

Our tired boys finally lose.....0-1 away to mid table PKNS.

PKNS 1 - 0 LionsXII : LionsXII unbeaten run ends

http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/Nned5nE5x.moCrSm3VKlbQ--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9aW5zZXQ7aD0yMzA7cT04NTt3PTM1MA--/http://media.zenfs.com/en_SG/News/GOAL.com/165076_hp.jpg

Maximum points was what both teams were searching for. For the Lions, it meant staying on top and putting pressure to Kelantan, for PKNS, it meant they can distance themselves from the bottom three.

LionsXII players looked jaded, clearly still recovering from their midweek game. They couldn't conjure any credible attack and threaten PKNS goal keeper, Mohd Remezey. The closest the came was from a volley via Shahril Ishak in the 28th minute.

The goal finally came from a free-kick from Mickael Nicoise on 80 minutes. A brilliant looping ball from the flank beating Hyrulnizam. The LionsXII custodian protested vehemently for an infringement by Helmi Remeli but the goal was to stand.

Agu Casmir almost equalised few minutes later after Mohd Remezey spilled the ball but his scooped shot was sent wide with an open goal beckoning.

The game ended with a 1-0 win for PKNS who recorded their second consecutive victory while the LionsXII surrendered their unbeaten away record.

It was a very slow and boring match. After so many years out of the M-league, I'm surprised by the low attendance in most matches. Stadium Petaling Jaya looks terribly empty. I guess most people are home watching the Premier League, especially the FA Cup Semi-Finals which was going on at the same time. Looking forward to the match in Kelantan in Kota Bahru. I think that match will be like the good old days.

He did well to find his first goal of the season. As for the second goal, I think the second goal found him! :D Second goal is funny for a striker who has struggled so hard to score this season. It's as easy as it can possibly get. Why call him coconut boy ah? Is there a story behind the nick?

LionsXII 5-0 PKNS: Five star Lions trounce visitors

PKNS might hv ended the LionsXII's unbeaten away record last Saturday but V.Sundramoorthy's men ensured they did the same thing 2 the visitors @ Jalan Besar Stadium on Tuesday night.

The team fr Selangor were the only team left in the league with an unbeaten away record but a 5-0 win 4 LionsXII with strikes fr Shaiful Esah, Safuwan Baharudin, Sevki Sha'ban & a double 4 Agu Casmir sealed a memorable win 4 the Singapore side.

It took just 17 minutes 4 the 1st goal 2 be registered as Safuwan poked in a swerving free-kick by Shaiful Esah @ the far post.

Provider then turned goal scorer just 2 mins later aft Shaiful nestled a free-kick in the back of the net b4 Sevki extended the lead just past the half-hour mark with a thumping header, converting fr a Shahdan Sulaiman corner-kick.

Sevki’s joy was short-lived though as the defender had 2 be stretchered off aft a pulled hamstring & replaced by Firdaus Kasman, as Hariss Harun slotted in @ the heart of defence.

The hasty shuffle in defence did little 2 improve PKNS’s fortune & frontman Michal Nicoise who struck the winner on Saturday was left with little 2 do all night, relying on potshots & free-kicks tat never really troubled Hyrulnizam in goal.

8 mins aft the start of the 2nd-half Agu Casmir picked up his 1st goal of the season with a close range volley aft a well-picked out cross fr Shahdan Sulaiman.

Casmir will then pick up his 2nd, although somewhat fortuitously, as Shahril Ishak’s header was tipped off the line by PKNS goalkeeper Remezy Che Ros & onto the head of the Singapore international, b4 ending up @ the back of the net.

LionsXII could hv piled on the misery 4 their visitors as Shahril & Casmir all came close 2 grabbing more goals but the score remained @ 5-0 as the Malaysian Super League leaders sealed their biggest win 2date.
