Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin urged the Football Association of Malaysia to act swiftly.

“I wish to stress that rioting cannot be accepted. Those responsible cannot use the referee’s decision as an excuse,” he was quoted as saying by Malaysian newspapers today (May 18).

Terengganu fans turn rowdy after crucial goal not allowed

Policemen escorting the referee out of the stadium on Saturday night

KUALA TERENGGANU: Terengganu football fans reacted by throwing stones at the car of Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman on Saturday night after the team failed to enter the final of the FA Cup.

Despite winning the match 3-2 against Lions XII of Singapore at the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium in Gong Badak, Terengganu were edged out by the visitors 4-4 on the away goals rule.

Much of the fans’ dissatisfaction arose after the decision of the referee, Mohd Amirul Izwan Yaacob, in not awarding Terengganu the fourth goal through Nordin Alias’ header in the 90th minute.

Mohd Amirul ruled it offside. Had the goal stood Terengganu would have made it to the final.

After the match, the majority of the 15,000-odd fans went on to destroy stadium property, including a glass entrance door.

When you’re bottom of the league and there seems to be no way out from the depths of despair it’s understandable that your fans may turn against you.

Fans of Polish first division side Zawisza Bydgoszcz showed their disgust at their team’s poor league position and form by leaving coffins for each player at their stadium.

Each coffin was engraved with each player’s initials while one was even reserved for the Zawisza owner.

The banner depicted a dog with a human body holding a puppy with “RM” displayed in a bubble talk.

Many believed that they were implying that FAM only cared about money rather than managing local football.

The banner, which was unveiled at JDT supporters’ section, also courted criticism from the netizens, saying that this was not the way to express their disagreement with FAM.

Some defended the move and denied allegations that the dog was made in reference to FAM president, Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, also the Crown Prince of Pahang.

“In no way the banner said they were referring to the royalty, they’re just mocking FAM in general,” a Facebook user said.

PETALING JAYA: Some Johor Darul Takzim (JDT) fans have earned the “royal wrath” for unleashing a giant banner depicting a dog in a suit with the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) emblem on it.

This took place during the Charity Shield match against Pahang at Larkin Stadium, Johor Baru on Saturday night.

Describing the act as biadap (disrespectful), the Crown Princess of Pahang, Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah, said she was “ashamed” of the behaviour of the JDT supporters.

“As someone who was born and bred in Johor but settled in Pahang , and as the wife of the FAM president, this is all I have to say; BIADAP and KURANG AJAR (disrespectful and rude).

“My father never brought me up this way,” she said in her personal Instagram account  “tengkupuanpahang”.

Vietnam warns Malaysian fans against laser beams in AFF Suzuki Cup semis

Tuoi Tre News

Updated : 12/06/2014 14:51 GMT + 7

Fans and the head of the Vietnamese football delegation to Malaysia yesterday warned about the possible repetition of the use of laser beams against their goalkeeper in the first leg of Vietnam’s semifinal against the hosts at the 2014 Southeast Asian Football Championship, or AFF Suzuki Cup, tomorrow in Kuala Lumpur.

Acting on behalf of Japanese coach Toshiya Miura of Vietnam, delegation head Mai Duc Chung told local media in Kuala Lumpur to remind their fans not to do unfair things such as projecting laser beams and setting off firecrackers in the stands.

“I just want the media to help tell their fans not to use laser beams and firecrackers during the match to ensure good and fair football.

“I have to say this because it happened four years ago here in Kuala Lumpur during a semifinal match between Vietnam and Malaysia at the AFF Suzuki Cup.

“Some fans in the stands shined laser beams toward the Vietnamese goalkeeper many times and it caused him to lose concentration and feel disoriented,” Chung was quoted by Thanh Nien newspaper as saying.
…

Vietnam suffered a 0-2 loss in the match.

Mohd Farhan’s mother Suriah Asibi, 47 said that her son returned home after playing futsal with one of the suspects at about 9pm that night…

REVENGE IS SWEET FOR MALAYSIAN FANS BUT BITTER FOR SINGAPOREAN FANS..

A Malaysian football fan took to social media to slam Singapore after yesterday’s (Nov 29) AFF Suzuki Cup football match.

Team Singapore crashed out of the tournament after losing to arch rivals Malaysia 1-3 last night.

A Stomper alerted Stomp to the post, which the fan made after the match. The post showed a picture of the Malaysian fans holding a derogatory poster slamming Singapore.

The fan captioned the photo by saying that Singapore got what it deserved as it was the ‘worst host ever’.

Previously a group of Malaysian fans were denied entry to Jalan Besar Stadium to watch the Malaysia versus Myanmar match. The fans subsequently threatened to beat up Singaporean fans if they came to Malaysia.

The Malaysian sports minister Khairy Jamaluddin is seeking an explanation from Singapore authorities after Malaysian football fans were refused entry on Sunday at the Tuas Checkpoint to watch a match here and took to Twitter in protest.

According to Free Malaysia Today, Khairy protested on social media that Malaysian football fans were denied entry to watch the AFF Suzuki Cup 2014 match between Malaysia and Myanmar on Sunday here, and included photos of  the ban notice issued by the Singapore Immigration and Checkpoints Authority.

Khairy said in a Facebook post:

“My administration has written to the Singapore authorities seeking an explanation as to why those Malaysians were mistreated and denied access into Singapore to support their national team.

“I respect procedures imposed by a foreign country but I am disappointed over the treatment received by Malaysian football fans.

“I have been informed that the Jalan Besar Stadium in Singapore was packed with Myanmar supporters who flocked to the venue complete with banners and flags.”
…

Singapore netizens have responded to this, saying that Malaysian football fans have been rowdy in the past.

During the AFF Suzuki Cup 2012, Malaysian fans were seen mocking the Singapore national anthem, filmed on video bashing up a Singaporean fan, as well as chanting “Singapore is a dog” during matches.

KUCHING: It was complete pandemonium at the State Stadium here on Saturday midnight when hundreds of rioters torched and overturned police cars after a football match between Sarawak and Perak.

Not since the late 1980s has there been riots of a similar scale after a football match in Sarawak.

The Star‘s photographer Zulazhar Sheblee, who was covering the match, witnessed the chaos first-hand.

“It was right after the final whistle at 11pm when it all started. Spectators inside the stadium threw bottles, firecrackers and even parts of the fence at the pitch.

“The first of the rioters on the pitch kicked and damaged the advertisements. Outside the stadium, a crowd that had gathered broke through the main gates. By then, the Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) was deployed,” Zulazhar said.

He said it took about three hours for crowds to disperse and calm to return.

“I managed to exit the stadium around 2am. There were still some light scuffles going on,” he said.

The extent of the damage is unclear, but eyewitness said at least four police cars were targeted.

JOHOR BARU: A commotion erupted at a stadium here as thousands of JDT fans started pushing their way through the ticketing counters to get their hands on tickets for the much awaited JDT versus Pahang match.

Police officers who were on standby at the Tan Sri Dato Hj Hassan Yunos stadium urged the crowd to be patient and queue up, but to no avail. FRU units had to be deployed to the scene around 11am on Monday to control the massive crowd.

Fans started making beelines as early as 1am at the stadium for the tickets. However, due to the huge crowd and hours of waiting, people started pushing through the lines.

Some fans even fainted as the crowd grew bigger. The ticketing area became congested while others were heard shouting at the police claiming that they had been queuing up for almost 10 hours.
…

Later around 11.30am, the crowd grew even more aggressive, screaming vulgarities when police announced that all tickets were sold out and advised them to disperse.

‘LOVE Football, Stop Hooliganism’, read the campaign banner just before the Malaysia-Philippines game. The Ultras apparently took that as a dare because 30 minutes into the match, the silent protest ended and bedlam began.

The Ultras, who were unison in a 30-minute silent protest against Sultan Ahmad Shah’s 30-year reign as Football Association Malaysia (FAM) president, went from being civilised to absolute barbarians by throwing smoke bombs onto the pitch, resulting in a seven-minute suspension.

This is the second time this week Malaysian fans have behaved at their worst, and both in games which garnered plenty of attention in the region.

Just four days ago, the AFC Cup encounter between Selangor and Arema was suspended right at the death after the Red Giants’ Ultras also let off smoke bombs at the same venue.

Police report against Johor FA chief

A T-Team football player lodged a police report against the crown Prince of Johor claiming that the royalty threatened to kill him.

KUALA TERENGGANU: Fabio Flor De Azavedo, a professional footballer for T-Team, today lodged a police report against the Johor FA president Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim for allegedly threatening to kill him during the half-time break in the match between Johor JDT and T-Team last weekend at the Larkin Stadium, in Johor.

In the police report lodged at the Kuala Terengganu police station this morning, the 33-year-old defender from Brazil said Tunku Ismail approached him during the interval of the match and threatened to kill the defender.

“As I was walking with my teammates during the break to the changing room, the Johor FA president came and said f*** you Brazil, I’ll kill you, this is my country,” he said in the police report.

Azadevo claimed that he replied by saying: “Why do you want to kill me, I come to play football”.

At this juncture T-Team CEO Abdul Rasid Jusoh intervened and pulled Fabio away into the dressing room, he stated in the police report.

According to earlier news reports, Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) head coach Cesar Jimenez had a spat with one of T-Team coaching staff. The argument continued and players and staff from both teams stepped in and the argument continued inside the tunnel leading to the changing rooms.

T-Team refused to take the pitch, after the interval, in fear of safety and the match was eventually abandoned.

Terengganu police are mum on the police report.

Media man threatened for filming football brawl

A media personnel who recorded a brawl between opposing Malaysia League football teams at the Tan Sri Hassan Yunos Stadium in Larkin, Johor last night was threatened if he did not stop shooting.

Astro Arena last night published a video in which a man was heard yelling: “Pergi belakang! Pergi belakang! Kalau tak nak kamera pecah pergi belakang! (Go to the back! Go to the back! If you don’t want your camera smashed, go to the back!)”

The 65-second Arena clip uploaded by netizens on Facebook page Malaysia Soccer News shows the threat was uttered after cameras panned towards a brawl which only lasted a few seconds.

Prior to the brawl, the camera shows a bearded man running left and exiting the frame. The camera then pans to the left to catch the commotion and a brawl, but it is not clear who assaulted whom.

Immediately after that the camera pans to the right to show the bearded man walking away surrounded by several other men.

The identity of the bearded man — whose face is not shown clearly in the clip — is still is a mystery but Kuala Terengganu District Football Association (T-Team), on its official Facebook page, claims two association members were assaulted.

T-Team claims Brazilian import Evaldo Gonçalves sustained a bloody nose after being punched in the face while the team’s fitness instructor Stefano Impagiazzo was kicked in the groin by a member of “JDT’s higher management”.

In a Facebook posting at about 12pm today, T-Team coach Mohd Azraai Khor Abdullah said Gonçalves and Impagiazzo will undergo a medical check-up before lodging a police report.

Meanwhile, Sinar Harian reported that T-Team decided not to proceed with the second half of the match for safety reasons.

Coventry fans perform rousing rendition of ‘Twist and Shout’ during loss to Arsenal, had more fun than you Friday night

By Brooks Peck | Dirty Tackle

League One side Coventry City made a rare trip to Emirates Stadium for their FA Cup fourth round match against Arsenal. Determined to enjoy the event, regardless of the outcome, a group of Coventry supporters crowded into the concourse after going down 2-0 in the first half and gave a spirited group performance of “Twist and Shout” in front of a food and drinks stand.

With beer flying, the Coventry fans belted out the joyous tune while bouncing around and making the most of their Friday night. Though their side went on to get knocked out of the competition by a score of 4-0, I don’t think anyone anywhere had more fun than they did that night.
