Kafa gantung Halim Nafi
KOTA BHARU 8 April – Penjaga gol Kelantan, Halim Napi digantung permainan ekoran kejadian rusuhan penyokong pasukan itu sebaik tamat perlawanan Piala FA separuh akhir pertama antara Kelantan dengan Negeri Sembilan di Stadium Sultan Mohamed ke-IV di sini malam tadi.
Halim digantung oleh Persatuan Bolasepak Kelantan (Kafa) serta-merta tanpa ditetapkan tempoh penggantungannya.
Dalam perlawanan itu Kelantan tewas 0-1.
Halim dilihat sebagai punca meletusnya rusuhan setelah dia menyerang pemain pertahanan Negeri Sembilan, Aidil Zafuan Abd Radzak sebaik tamat perlawanan.
“Kami (Kafa) dan jurulatih Peter Butler bersetuju dengan keputusan ini kerana Halim dilihat secara sengaja menggunakan kekerasan terhadap pemain pelawat.
“Kami sependapat bahawa soal disiplin dan etika bagi pemain Kafa perlu dijaga walaupun kita memerlukan penjaga gol yang baik,” kata Presiden Kafa, Tan Sri Annuar Musa selepas tamat perlawanan.
Beliau berkata, penggantungan Halim dibuat ekoran satu mesyuarat yang diadakan antara Kafa dengan Butler sebaik sahaja tercetus insiden berkenaan.
Beliau yang kesal dengan rusuhan para penyokong Kelantan menyerahkan kepada polis untuk menyiasat insiden terbabit.
“Saya tahu ia berpunca daripada sikap pemain Kafa yang secara sengaja mengambil tindakan mengasari pemain pelawat.
“Ia benar-benar bertentangan dengan semangat kesukanan. Sifat ini tidak seharusnya ada di dalam setiap pemain Kafa,” katanya.
Tindakan liar sebahagian besar dari kira-kira 20,000 penyokong Kelantan menyebabkan lapan buah kereta rosak teruk termasuk sebuah kenderaan polis sementara sebuah motosikal turut dibakar.
Seorang anggota Unit Simpanan Persekutuan turut cedera.
Menurut polis, tiga penyokong Kelantan telah
ditahan.
Tindakan liar penyokong Kelantan turut berlaku semasa perlawanan Liga Super antara Kelantan dengan Negeri Sembilan pada akhir bulan lepas di mana para penyokong membaling botol minuman dan mercun ke tengah padang selepas Kelantan tewas 1-2. – Bernama

Penonton merusuh di Kota Bharu
Perlawanan separuh akhir pertama Piala FA antara Kelantan, NS tercemar
NEGERI Sembilan mencerahkan peluang mara ke final Piala FA selepas menewaskan Kelantan 1-0 di Stadium Sultan Mohamed ke-IV, malam tadi dalam perlawanan yang tercemar dengan insiden serangan pada akhir perlawanan dan keganasan penonton di luar stadium.
Penjaga gol tuan rumah, Halim Napi dilihat meluru ke arah Mohd Aidil Zafuan Abdul Radzak lalu menumbuk dan memijak pertahanan Negeri Sembilan itu sebelum dileraikan oleh rakan sepasukannya dalam saingan separuh akhir pertama.
Keadaan turut bertambah buruk di luar stadium apabila sebuah kenderaan polis diterbalikkan sebelum dibakar selain cermin beberapa kereta dipecahkan oleh sekumpulan penonton yang kurang berpuas hati.
Ini kekalahan kedua berturut-turut tuan rumah kepada pelawat selepas tunduk 2-1 saingan Liga Super 31 Mac lalu - sekali gus meletakkan mereka dalam keadaan sukar menjelang pertemuan kedua pada 18 April ini.
Dalam satu lagi pertemuan separuh akhir, Perlis sekadar seri 1-1 dengan skuad Merah Kuning di Stadium Utama, Kangar dalam pertemuan yang turut dicemari dengan pergaduhan antara penjaring gol kedua-dua pasukan, R Surendran dan Shazwan Zainol sejurus sebelum rehat tetapi berjaya dihalang rakan sepasukan yang lain.
Di Kota Bharu, Kelantan dikejutkan seawal minit ketujuh menerusi Zaquan Adha Abdul Radzak berpunca daripada kesilapan Azlan Zainal yang gagal menguasai bola dalam kawasan sendiri.
Ketinggalan satu gol, Kelantan cuba bangkit menyamakan kedudukan dan peluang terbaik mereka hadir pada minit ke-13 tetapi sepakan percuma Indra Putra Mahayuddin dari luar kotak penalti sedikit melepasi palang gol lawan.
Walaupun berbekal sokongan padu kira-kira 20,000 penonton, Kelantan seolah-olah kehilangan punca ketika pasukan Negeri Sembilan lebih banyak menguasai perlawanan.
Usaha Kelantan mencari jaringan penyamaan pada babak kedua tidak kesampaian, apabila percubaan Indra dan kapten pasukan, Badhri Radzi pada minit ke-46 dan 74 sekadar menggegar palang gol lawan.
Di Stadium Utama, Perlis hanya memerlukan dua minit untuk membuka jaringan menerusi rembatan Shazwan dari dalam kotak penalti sebelum Selangor menyamakan kedudukan menerusi Surendran pada minit ke-34.
Tuan rumah beroleh kelebihan pada minit ke-57 apabila ketua pasukan pelawat, Amri Yahyah dilayangkan kad merah selepas mengasari penjaga gol Perlis, Farizal Marlias.
Namun, skuad Singa Utara bukan sahaja gagal mengambil kesempatan malah turut kehilangan penyerang utama, Nizaruddin Yusof yang dibuang padang selepas mengutip kad kuning kedua pada waktu kecederaan.

Sergio Ramos The Best Defender in the World
Place of Birth: Seville, Spain
Date of Birth: 30/03/1986
Position: Defender
Weight: 160 lbs / 73 kg
Height: 6’0” / 183 cm
Nationality: Spanish
Sergio Ramos was trained in Sevilla’s youth system and made his first team debut at the age of 17 and under the tutelage of manager Joaquín Caparrós. The Andalusian has always stood out for his grit, determination, and self-confidence and is well on track to becoming the most prolific Spanish defender of all time -UEFA named him Newcomer of the 2004/05 Liga-. Real Madrid saw Ramos as the perfect centre-back to fill the hole left by Fernando Hierro and signed him in 2005; at 19, he was the only Spanish player signed during the entire term of President Florentino Pérez.
Since his arrival in the Spanish capital, Sergio has been an example of hard work, dedication, and potential. Once on the pitch, he showcases drive, leadership, excellent defensive skills, great speed, a powerful shot, and a phenomenal goal-scoring instinct.
Ramos joined the Club as a centre-back but established himself as a right-back during the 2006/07 and 2007/08 campaign; his amazing versatility makes him a great asset for any coach. “It’s comforting to have Sergio on the squad because he is a versatile player capable of performing well in any defensive position,” says Bernd Schuster.
Sergio Ramos has got all Madridistas used to see him perform brilliantly in every clash. He is a key figure on the team, a leader and a possible future captain. The defender from Seville is also a regular on the Spanish national team, with whom he played in the 2006 World Cup. At 19, he was the youngest man to make his debut with Spain in 55 years. With all the makings of a superstar, he is destined to make history in the world of football.
Personal
Sergio is a typical citizen of Seville. He loves Flamenco and uses it to rouse the team in the dressing room and in the pre-match team camps. He loves spending time with his family and friends in Seville and travels to the Andalusian city whenever he has some time off. He is also passionate about bullfighting and fashion, of which he is a total trendsetter in Spain. Football may be his life, but he also enjoys playing tennis and golf. Each of his ten tattoos has a special meaning (four are the dates of birth of his parents and his two brothers). His brother René is his agent.

He received the ‘Ivorian Player of the Year’ award in January 2007 and was titled ‘African Footballer of the Year’ for the first time in March 2007. For his performances in that season, Didier Drogba was named into the PFA Premier League Team of the Year and eventually became the runner-up after to Cristiano Ronaldo. After scoring two goals in the semi-final of the UEFA Champions League against Liverpool, which Chelsea won 3-2 at Stamford Bridge, Didier Drogba became the top scorer of Chelsea in the European competition.
Didier Drogba was selected as a Goodwill Ambassador by United Nations Development Programme on January 24, 2007.
