Halo Abang Rizal,

Tahniah kepada abang dan kepada Chris dan Haresh. Semuanya up to date dengan info. Tahniah juga kepada Astro Arena dan OCM atas usahasama dalam menjayakan sukan tanahair.

Saya berpendapat bahawa forum di Kafe juga adalah sesuai untuk abang membawa isu-isu yang banyak dibincangkan dalam blog abang. Terutama sekali isu-isu kontrovesi seperti masalah persatuan dgn Pesuruhjaya, pemecatan atau penggantungan pegawai, kemunduran sesuatu sukan, kejayaan sukan yang tidak mendapat banyak publisiti dsb.

Abang sebagai orang MM dulu memang tahu bahawa banyak isu yang tidak akan dibawa oleh media cetak. Cuba abang ajak perbincangan yang hot sikit dlm arena. ajak Slamet buat debat dgn pihak2yang bertelagah dalam persatuan2. baru la hot dan interesting.

salam

Nothing wrong with the first episode except that the panellists were too nice to each other. If you want to improve your ratings, the show should be more unconventional. For example, it's good for panellists to shout and yell at other to get their point across. We want more action, less cock talk. Enough with talking the talk, now we want fighting the fight.

Haresh Deol needs to trim his eyebrows while Chris needs a wig.
As for Rizal...he needs to be bald.

wah nstman, finally something nice from you. The trio should be very honoured lah

I think Haresh should be generous enough to lend some of his thick jet black hair and eyebrows to Chris and Rizal. I dont think Chris and Rizal will reject this largess.

Ewah ewah... hari2 muka blogger masuk astro arena. Ini satu pengikhtirafan buat rakan-rakan blogger di mana suara dan pendapat mereka sebenarnya diperlukan dalam memperkasakan mutu sukan negara. Tapi yang peliknya, ada sesetengah (bukan suma) pentadbir badan sukan kebangsaan memandang rendah dan memperlekehkan sumbangan para blogger. Mengapa ye?

Adakah blogger2 ini 'selalu menyusahkan' mereka dengan cerita2 yang tidak memihak kpd mereka atau apa sebab sebenar hingga boleh jadi camtu?

Tak kan pengendali2 blog saja kot yg dapat masuk astro arena... Pengomen2 regular takde peluang ke bro Rizal?... :)

My name is Khan said...

Chris taruk kuat kuat lagi la, jangan takut, Haresh potong rambut sebelum Uncle Rais sound, Rizal program minggu depan sila tukar jaket ya.. Keep it guys kamu tiga memang sepadan 1 Malaysia La tu

PENAMPILAN Hajeezar dlm astro arena jauh berbeza. Siap berkot kot walau panas bangit. Kalo dlm studio ok tapi kat stadium mcm tak selesa je nampak. Apa2 pun, saya pasti ini arahan drp pihak penerbit kan? Tak pe la ji, pakai je la....

MatRock lu betul la 100%...apa nak buat walaupun dah bagi pandangan kat Malaya ni takde musim luruh atau sejuk tapi kena pakai gak..

i would like to comment on the development of sports in general in Malaysia vis-a-vis what is related to grass-root development of sports in malaysia....
My general comment is that the grass root development thus far really sucks and this is being translated to the standard of sports in general which is also in a deplorable state...it boils down to our education "political" policies.... putting emphasis on the excellent grades forgetting about those excellence in sports and others...

Anonymous said...

Responding to the comment on grass root development of sports...I agree...Most of malaysian so-called grass root development of sports in malaysia is done on political impetus i.e. if there is some 'political mileage' and moneterial mileage to be gained then it is a go... and it is done only on short term basis... a celebration or carnival one time kind of occassion.. now then, if they don't make money and no political recognition gained then the development will be halted there and then... so, the real 'juara kampong'syndrome still lingers on... no world champions... in the making.. so sampai bila mcm ini...

Bro Rizal,

Sedikit tips nak menang Khamis ini.Kembalikan Khairul Fahmi kerana Sharbini hilang keyakinan di tembusi 5 gol.Zafuan bergandingan dgn Muslim,di mana Muslim sebagai stopper dan Zafuan sebagai sweeper.Selalu bertahan sam pai middle third saja striker Spore tak ada speed harap crossing.Pertahanan kanan dan kiri kena mengelakkan crossing.Utk itu kedua2 midfield kiri dan kanan kena saling membantu pertahanan tepi.Amirul Hadi perlu diturunkan utk menggantikan Safiq dan Badrul blh bermain di kanan dan Kunalan di kiri.Ketiga2 midfield ini sesekali switch position utk mengelirukan Spore.Safee perlu bergandingan dgn Hadi sbb Norshahrul mkin belum cergas dan dimasukkan awal masa kedua.Midfield kena beri selalu through ball keran Safee dan Hadi ada speed utk tewaskan Bannet.Dead ball situation mesti digunakan dgn baik oleh ZafuaN,Safee atau Badrol.Akhir sekali tumpaun 150% kepada perlawanan sehingga wisel penamat.Insyaalah,lawan akan dpt ditewaskan kalau di atas dpt di praktikkan.Malaysia 3 Spore 1.Selamat Maju Jaya.

Saya cabar penyokong tempatan yang turun beramai-ramai memberi sokongan kepada pasukan Arsenal, Liverpool & Chelsea semasa menentang Pasukan Kebangsaan kita di Stadium Bukit Jalil tempoh hari supaya tunjukan sokongan serti itu untuk menyokong pasukan kita pada perlawanan Khamis ini Pra Piala Dunia menentang Singapura untuk aksi timbal balik di Stadium Bukit Jalil. Kerana pasukan kita sekarang ini memerlukan sokongan kita sebagai rakyat Malaysia yang Berjiwa Petriotik untuk memulihkan semangat mereka kembali menggalas cabaran negara supaya layak ke pusingan akhir Piala Dunia 2014. Setelah mengalami kekelahan 5-3 di Singapura, kini hanya ponyokong sajalah yang boleh menjadi penyebab kemenangan pasukan kebangsaan kita untuk aksi timbal balik khamis ini, jurulatih & pemain hanyalah menghasilkan kemenangan, tetapi PENYEBABNYA adalah PENYOKONG YANG BERJIWA PETRIOTIK.Pasukan Kebangsaan kita mampu atasi Singapura. Ayuh SOKONGLAH PASUKAN KITA......

Bro...paskalah ni aku revew sendiri la..Aku kira pasni coach jgn lupa kudrat pemain lama..midfielder mcm Amri Yahya..Indra Putra..sbb aku rasa kalo level pusingan kelayakan..atau Asia Tengggara..diaorg still boleh bersaing..Jadi reserve pun ok...Tapi aku suka jga Joseph Kalang Tie...
