Given the quality of Kedah’s attack, the Pahang defence, particularly Herold Goulon, is set for a busy night defending. And they certainly were kept busy. Goulon, being the defensive commander that he is, did well to cut out three promising Kedah attacks. It was as if he was getting warmed up to neutralize Kpah Sherman.
Read MoreDespite a new man in charge and promising recruitment, all the optimism after a great start to the season that began with a 3-1 win over Pahang has all but wiped out after a well-disciplined ocean wave by the name of Penang wiped out Selangor 2-0 in their own home, leaving the Red Giants pondering how to sort out the mess in the aftermath.

Hari ini sudah genap 3 tahun sejak 2 hari ajaib terjadi dalam bolasepak tempatan,
Read MoreApril 2015 Pahang signed Matthew Davies at age 20 yeas old. Coming over from Perth, Australia. Spent almost five years with Pahang while being a mainstay on the Malaysian national team first team squad and the under 23 squad. Nobody knew who he was when he came over. I even asked my former college mate who is living in Perth. But sadly he is not a football fan. So information on him was limited a part from maybe YouTube clips if I recall.
Read MoreAku masih ingat pada kisah dua tahun yang lalu december 2017 dimana ketika itu pasukan kebangsaan malaysia buat pertama kalinya layak ke kejohanan AFC Cup 2018 U-23 di Changshu, China. Berita ini sememangnya merupakan satu berita yang sangat gembira but peminat bolasepak tanah air.Aku yang sedang belajar di beijing ketika itu,terus membuka peta untuk melihat jauh mana jarak Beijing ke Changshu . Yaa sememangnya agak jauh,sekitar 1150 km.maka terpaksalah aku melupakan keinginan untuk pergi & menyokong pasukan harimau malaya.

Read MoreAll in all - Stanley Bernard may have not rose the highest on the pitch but off the pitch he has done some amazing stuff. I look forward to see his autobiography in years to come.
Read MoreWhat is in your opinion, the most powerful, emotional, or moving line a commentator has said? Cucuk Hassan, the winning goal phrase.
Read MorePerak started off brightly in the first 25 minutes. It was all them as they had an estimation of 95% of attacks in favor of them within their time period while Kedah had trouble in getting through the Perak half. Then against the run of play, Kpah Sherman put The Eagles ahead after outmuscling Idris Ahmad and rounded Hafizul Hakim despite being alone against three defenders. It became more difficult for the Bos Gaurus when Kedah carved them up to score their second minutes after their first when Baddrol Bakhtiar’s incisive through pass found Fadzrul Danel who attacked the empty space inside the Perak box before he slammed it into the roof of the net.
Read MoreIt’s been three weeks since the uproar surrounding the departure of B. Sathianathan as Selangor head coach. Michael Feichtenbeiner, the Selangor FA technical director is assigned as the caretaker head coach for the main team. Since he took over, there have been encouraging signs on the way Selangor plays. After tonight, the signs were even more positive. Especially in the way they transition to attack.
Read MoreGiven the way the game is going, you wouldn’t expect Perak to actually comeback from a rather big deficit as they haven’t troubled Pahang enough. But magically, they were able to nick a point under the trunks of Tok Gajah with a spectacular turnaround from 3-0 down to 3-3.
Read MoreYep. It’s that old tale of two halves. The first 45 minutes were very labored and it needed something to make it alive. The way both sides are set up is definitely a factor to why the match has not been eventful (Which we’ll go into later). Kedah definitely had most of the ball but failed to trouble that FELDA backline enough while Felda looked content to try and attack on the break, but they do have one problem which again, we’ll go into later. Eventually, we finally did see the first highlight when FELDA took the lead just before half-time.
Terengganu’s defeat at Melaka last week made things more difficult for the Turtles to maintain a title challenge. Now, it’s surely all but over. A seventh league title in a row beckons for the Southern Tigers after a slim 1-0 win and in doing so, opened up an eight point-gap over 2nd place occupied by Perak after their 1-0 win over UiTM while Terengganu drops down the table. They can seal the title with a win over FA Selangor next week who is set to miss Brendan Gan due to suspension and also are greatly struggling to impose themselves should results elsewhere favor them starting with Kedah’s match with FELDA tomorrow.
Read MoreIt looks like Mehmet Durakovic had to tweak his starting line-up due to missing livewires Careca & J. Partiban due to hamstring injuries according to Star reporter T. Avineshwaran. Instead of going with his usual 4-4-2 formation with two forwards, Durakovic opted to go for an attacking midfielder in Firdaus Saiyadi to support Guilherme De Paula. In a way, it’s a 4-2-3-1 but it was also a 4-4-2 with Firdaus seen beside Guilherme when out of possession.
Read More2010 AFF Suzuki Cup winning head coach Datuk K. Rajagobal has shared on his official social media accounts that he will be publishing his long awaited autobiography tentatively between the end of 2020 or early 2021, entitled, “SAYA RAJAGOBAL”.
Read MoreThere are two things you can takeaway after witnessing that winning goal. Pahang has once conceded a late winner in the match and there was the fact that the PJ City last-minute winner was scored by a Pahang old boy.
Read More“The real winner isn’t just going to be between Selangor and JDT. Instead Malaysian football will also stand to benefit the most. We’ve seen how other nations use their “Clasico” (if that’s what you want to call it?) as a sales pitch to promote their league. Time now the Malaysian Super League to have one of its own.”
Read MoreAs of writing this. we are a number of week away from the Professional Malaysian Domestic Season for the year 2020 kicking off. There’s much to preview of the potential title contenders, ‘dark horses‘, the relegation battle in the top Malaysian tier. Abroad what’s next for Kedah after their exit and JDT in terms of preparations.
