Controversy might cause disqualification
Pics: A few of Cyberheat players head towards the officials to protest
Following the rules applied, Cyberheat is heading for an automatic disqualification but that is yet to be confirmed. Feedbacks from keen spectators around the pitch were random, some to stick to the rules while others suggest to settle the matter on Winning Eleven 12 because its already dark at that time.
The FA committee members will gather up to meet and discuss about the matter and the decision will be announced later this week.

Match Preview: Heat and Antiseptic showdown once again
A semi final between 2 great rivals. The last match they meet, the result was a draw. This time around, only winner and loser will determine who is better. Cyber Heat has enjoy a easy path towards the semi with 2 wins, a draw and 1 lost in the group stage but thrash Kacang FC 4-1 in the 2nd round and demolish Salsa FC 2-0 in the quarter final.
A different story for Dettol where else the only manage to get 1 win, 2 draws and 1 lost in the league in the same group, but then past ease Wizurai with 1-0, and a narrow escape against Mantis FC 2-2 winning i by penalties in quarter final.
Cyber Heat has improve their attacking with the addition of Abbas and Ali, both are very good player. But in the defend , they are still the same. Their captain, Jerry, an ex-Dettol player is their source of inspiration with 4 goals. They truly are a strong team with the title of the reigning champion.
Where else, Dettol fc is famously known as a mediocre team, has totally improved their status by beating all the odds to reach to the semi final. They have lost 2 strikers Hanafi and Sharvin with Andi is out of form. The rotation policies have take part in the team and the result is, there are still a lot of improvement to be made. As their skipper Noxs and manager Shea,is expected to retired, it has become a must win game to reach the final so that they can consider it as a testimonial game for him. To the Dettol players, they must win it not only for their team, but for themselves, their skipper, their manager and most importantly for their future.
Does the reigning champion still lives on? Or does mediocre team manage to defy their dream of becoming the champion? The answer will come out this Wednesday.

New signings?

The newspaper have reports that DeTTol skipper Noxs is trying to persuade Moy(Cool United) and Mo (Sepng-nyol) to join Dettol as a plan to strengthen the team before he retire. Rumors is said that Dettol is in search for new center back as a back up for Eng How and Song Wei who is going to go on a special training next season. Dettol is also trying to find new midfielder to replace skipper Noxs if he is going to retire. But everything is not clear yet, and only time will tell.
Adli for new captaincy - Ammir

Since Skipper, Noxs retirement news has spread, the management has declared that Adli will be handed the skipper position starting from next season. He will be assist by Anis and Che Mad as 2nd in command to lead the Antiseptic after Noxs retirement. His nomination is said to be suggested strongly by Noxs himself.
It is also said that , Mr Ome will be replacing Shea as the manager starting next season. When interviewed, Mr Ome just mention " We will just have to wait and see"
Amer to retire at the end of the season
He said,"I am still surprised to have been offered such a job title, another club in Cyberjaya has also approached me for the same position but I had to decline since it is just for a 3 months period".
When asked further about whether he is still interested in the MMU Champions League title. He said " Its great that we have reached the semi, I assumed by this we have lifted the mediocre status labeled to us earlier in the season. I am still very very interested to win it and will give 110% of my efforts into this, we already have a good set of squad and with just a lil bit of luck. We might get away with the main prize".
With this, its fair to say that he will still fight for the title, a great news for the team and fans could be at ease for the time being at least until all the games have finished.

Boss: Shawn proved his worth
Against Mantis FC, the 21-year-old dazzled in DeTTol's win, with Shea describing his performance as "fantastic".
"I don't think he gave the ball away once, throughout the entire game," the boss told MMU.TV. "I thought he was our best player in the first half before he was substituted in the second half.
"He produces moments that make you sit back and say: 'that's world class'. The pass he receive from Noxs and Luqman in the first half and the finishing move was unbelievable."
Reflecting on the miss penalties by Reza and Noxs, the boss mention that "Look, they missed a penalty kick," Shea said. "Many players have done that. Even top players missed one as well and it’s all forgotten about.
"I know it was a bad penalty kick, I'm not making excuses for it. But we have to move on. It’s only a missed penalty.
"They produced some fantastic football last week but didn’t get the credit because of the penalty miss.Noxs even had change the direction of the game with the equalizer goal during the 1st half"
Kill or be killed
Noxs said: “We have a more experienced team, even though they are the reigning champions. It’s time to kill or be killed. Whoever loses will exit the competition - and we don’t want to lose. It will be a difficult game but I think DeTTol fc have a better team. They’re a team with very experienced players but we also have our aces and great players. It will be a good game, a well-contested game, and the better team will triumph. I have never won the MMU Champions League and I want it so badly before I've graduated. Only two more wins and we are the new champion. And I hope it will be a dream come true. It is totally a dream to defy for a mediocre team like us.”
Noxs will expect to be targeted by the reigning champion Cyber Heat in the semi final battle. Yet manager Shea insists the player will stand up to it. Shea said: “When we came here two years ago and played Cyber heat in the league, we saw the immaturity of the man. But he is a different player now."

Adli: We need to be mean
The Italian will be doing his utmost to halt the run of strikes conceded and he's urging his team-mates to be just as vigilant at the Stadium of Mud.
"It’s not that the goals we are conceding are great goals from our opponents," Adli told MMU.com, after being beaten by two Mantis efforts in the quarter finals of MMU Champions League on Wednesday.
"Of course, we have to sort that out and start focusing on what we did very successfully for a long time last season.
"We need to get back to that way of defending and then we should be okay."
"We had a hard game on last Wednesday, and again this Wednesday," said Edwin, referring to the two matches in 1 week against Wizurai (1-0) and then Mantis (2-2).
"We need to make sure we focus again for next Wednesday against Cyber Heat."

Anis tips Dettol colleague Luqman for best new player award
Dettol players dominate the five-man shortlist, with only Fire & Flames's Sohaib and Salsa's Shannon among the nominees not from The Antiseptic. The other nominees from Dettol are Andi and Reza.
"Luqman is arguably one of the best new players, if not the best new player in the mmu league," said Anis.
"The MMU Champion League individual awards are coming up and I think he is one of the favourite."

Mantis' Lan: I apologise to Noxs and his teamates
"I'm very sad, disappointed with my attitude. I am a warm human being and I am entitled to make mistakes. But the important thing is that I recognized my mistake. I apologize to the fans at DeTTol, Noxs and their fans," said Lan.
"I could not talk to him (after the game). Therefore, I ask forgiveness in front of all the media. Never in my life has something like this happened. Off the field I'm well and I'm happy with life.
"I do not know what happened to me. I showed an attitude that has no explanation from me."
Noxs doubt, Hanafi out
Despite training with the rest of the first-team on Friday morning at HB4 court, Noxs is still feeling the ankle injury he sustained against Mantis FC and may not be plying at all. Hanafi, meanwhile, has been ruled out of Wednesday's match altogether with a metatarsal injury.
“Noxs is doubtful and Hanafi is out,” the boss said at her pre-match press conference. “Those are the only injury problems we have. Hanafi willl be out for the rest of the season , but we’ll have to see how Noxs is.”
Conceding frustrates Adly
The Antiseptic turned in a four-star performance in front of goal, scoring two in the last 15 minutes of 1st half. However, despite looking solid at attacking, until that point, Dettol also leaked two goals.
"The main thing is we're in the semi final and we have a great chance [to win it]," Adly told MMU.com. "We played some good football and caused them a lot of problems, but we got sloppy at the end, and as a goalkeeper you feel very disappointed because we've conceded two goals. Overall, we're happy with the result and large parts of our performance."
Dettol now meet either SALSA FC or CYBER HEAT in the semi final on next Wednesday.
Shea: Tiredness contributing to sloppy defensive play
"I am not happy with our defending but I believe that our defence has played many games and they were a bit jaded physically," the Malaysian conceded on the club's official website.
"We cannot change many players, especially at the back. Offensively we have a bit more choice but at the back we haven’t got too much choice.
"Of course (resting players against Mantis) is in our thoughts but the best way to progress for the MMU Champions League is to win every games," Shea explained.
Match Report: The Antiseptic kill of Mantis
Scorer[Assist] Shawn 2x [Noxs,Luqman]
The 1st match of the MMU Champion league Quarter final. A day of of twisted story been written o craft on the Stadium of Mud MMU.Both team started slowly but Mantis manage to get an early goal in the 5 minute time. A miscommunication between Song Wei, Syahir and Adly has caused them early trouble. A shock situation for The Antiseptic and the skipper react instantly.

Match Preview: Insecticide or Antiseptic Day?
Venue: MMU Field
Kickoff : 5.45pm
After The Antiseptic magnificent display against Wizurai, now its time to face the unpredictable Mantis. Mantis has display a superb display against Seryes fc before qualified into the quarter.
News has spread quoting that Mantis is missing their key player Anas since last week. He never showed up during the 2nd round game. Their newest loan player from Wizurai, Faruk Hassan also is unavailable due to forseen reason. With only 2 substitute player on the bench, they really do have big problems.
Where else, The Antiseptic also has their on problems. Apa "Multipurpose" has gone to Germany due to family problem. While Sharvin still havent heal from his hand operation, Hanafi "Sexy Butt" has a broken metatarsal on his right foot. With Skipper Ammir "Tevez" and Daron "Papan Lapis" having fitness problem, they might losing on loan player ABit "Kaki Kiri" through fatigue problem.
Both team are trying to gain their 1st silverware for the season. While Mantis has manage to get runner up last MMU Cup, The Antiseptic still havent really achieve anything yet. As their mediocre title is still a debate, even though they beat Group C leader Wizurai, their up and down performance is a major issue.

Defence was key to victory - Shea
Song Wei "Tough Tackler", Apa "Multipurpose", Syahir "Shuffling Header" and Eng How "Tembok Besar China" earned much of his praise as they played 90 minutes together for the first time since the Reds level Cyber Heat 2-2 in the previous round of the MMU Champions League.
"I think the stability at the back, the recognition of Syahir and Eng How together is always a great start for your team," said Shea after winning the match.
"There was a lot of good concentration at the back, the team defended very, very well and I think that was key to it really. If we can get back to that foundation of not giving goals away, then we can do well."
United had an aggregate lead to defend from as early as the tenth minute at Stadium of Mud, thanks to a well taken goal by Che Mad "Budak Baik". - arguably one of the most important goal of his career to date.
"It was a lucky goal but a well taken one too," enthused Shea.
"The shot took them all by surprise, after a mistake from their player. The goalkeeper had no chance really."
The boss went on to clarify the content of a recent conversation with Che mad. "The point I made to Che Mad was to keep the referees on his side and not turn them against him.
Another great player who performed well on the night, albeit without grabbing the headlines, was Adli "The Flying Italian". The goalkeeper prevent all shots from the opponent and keep a clean sheet after 4 match. He also made an important save at the end of the 2nd half which protect the team lad and winning the game.
"You can ask some players to do a certain role in a game of football because they have a certain desire and an appetite. Adli's got that."
Turning her attentions to the next challenge in quarter final, and the prospect of facing Mantis at Stadium of Mud , Shea said:
"A rematch quarter-final adds a certain spice to the tie. It’s two good football teams - the friendly at the Stadium of Slope earlier in the season was a fantastic representation of the way football should be played.
"It should be a terrific quarter-final and we’re looking forward to it."
Skipper hopes to shake off thigh knock
The JaGis(Jawa+Bugis) winger hold on through full time into his side's win over Wizurai after a strong challenge from Atoi.
Noxs will confer with team doctors on Sunday to determine the extent of his injury, but is expected to play against Kechik's side.
"I've got a blue mark after the hit on my thigh, but I don't think it's serious," he revealed. "On Sunday I will talk to the doctor and I hope I can play against Mantis, but we will see.
"I took two hits. I've hold on until the final whistle but after that, my leg started to swell and I had to leave.
"This is football. I'm used to it. Obviously I would have liked to help my team-mates. I started the game very well and I thought I could have a great match. But my team-mates had a great game and I have to congratulate them."
Dettol's win over Wizurai was marred by the end of Wizurai unbeaten run this trimester.
He said: "I hope it's a great game of football (against Mantis). I want both teams to finish the match with all 11 players - then it will be a good game.
"It is a special match because I've been friends with many of the players from Mantis for three years and I hope we can win."
Boss wary of Mantis' hunger
The boss is an admirer of the job Kechik has done at Mantis, and insists the opponent are primed to win silverware, with Wednesday representing an ideal opportunity to reach a semi-final. "My problem is that we're facing a very hungry team," she said.
"Kechik wants to win a trophy, and this is a big opportunity for him. That’s what we’re facing: a very hungry team, and a very hungry manager. We know what we’re up against. He has a good young squad that will get better. The young players he has in the team, allied to the ones he's brought in, have a good future. He’s done a great job."
Shea is well aware of Mantis' history and refuses to accept any notion that they are a small club. "Kechik has been there for one year now and he has built a good club. Irrespective of what Nadeem (F&F) says – he called them a small club – they are a big club. That just points to [Nadeem's] arrogance."
Mantis again at Quarter final
Skipper post match review with RMMU Cyberjaya
He added "This is the best game that I 've ever played with the team during my career. Everybody works really hard to protect the lead until end of the game. I truly wish that the lads could continue their performance and focus on."
"We need to show other teams that as mediocre team we are, we still capable of beating any teams in MMU because we are strong as a team itself."

Syahir used Eng How as role model
DeTTol FC centre-back Syahir "Shuffling Header" has said that team-mate Eng How "Tembok Besar China" has been the main influence in his professional career.He spoke to the MMU.com after a steady display against Wizurai yesterday.
"Obviously Eng How was in my position, totally like me,unknown to everybody, before people could recognize him now" Syahir told MMU.com. "It made me think I could achieve that as well.
"I think the thing I learned from Eng How was that he came through a similar path as I did. So that gave me the belief that I could do the same."
The defender also revealed that there were a number of other talented individuals at The Antiseptic who left their mark.
"There were some great talents," he said. "I always watch skipper Noxs when he is on the field, when I was a youth team player, watching him train.
"Che Mad was there when I came through - all these guys were good players.
"When I finally broke through, playing and training with players like Eng How, Song Wei ,Che Mad and Noxs, players I've watched over the trimester, they inspired me.
"You pick up things just from watching. I took things from different players. It's what you are willing to take in."
Luqman rates Dettol's Adly better than F&F Azim "Pelekat"
Dettol FC midfielder Luqman"Shy Guy" has declared teammate Adly "The Flying Italian" as a better player than F&F injured goalkeeper Azim "Pelekat".
"First of all, you have to take into account that Azim and Adly are different players," he told The Press after Man Utd Champion League mattch yesterday. "For sure they are currently the best goalkeeper in MMU Cyberjaya, they both have extraordinary technique, but they are different.
"And, if Azim has many cleansheets nowadays before his injury, Adly is a player that has stopped more attempt this season. It totally depends on how many shots on target from the opponent."
"Then, the greatness of a player is measured by how many individuals award he has win and how many saves that he made for his team . Therefore, I have to recognise that Adly is better than Azim."

Che Mad: Goal will inspire me for remainder of season
The ex-Kipas Lipas player said: "I still have not seen a replay, but I felt it was a great goal. We wanted to win against top team and show our football. DeTTol did well in the first-half, Wizurai not. In the second-half, Wizurai was better, but I am very happy to have scored.
"Wizurai is very strong, is Champion of Group C, but over the two halves, I think DeTTol fc was stronger. I think this win will give us confidence, we now face the winner from Mantis vs Seryes on Friday, both team we know well.
"This goal has given me enough confidence for the rest of the season."

Post match report: Dettol vs Wizurai
DeTToL fc vs Wizurai [1-0]
Goalscorer [CheMad]
TThe Antiseptic will face either Mantis or Seryes in the MMU Champions League quarter-final, after the Antiseptic became the first team to beat Wizurai this trimester.
It took something awkward: a mistake by the opponent winger during a clearance in the 15 minutes time and a strike from Che Mad which, allied to a first clean sheet in four games, took the Antiseptic into the final eight. Indeed, it would have been the DeTTols' defensive resolve which would have pleased the manager most, as the return of Song Wei brought an assuredness to the team and restricted the dangerous hosts to but a handful of opportunities.
Wizurai had shown their class during the league game, so it was no surprise that they began to gradually exert themselves on the game. Eskandar's spectacular attacking instinct forced a routine save from Man OF the MAtch Adly, but Dettol's defence - reinforced by the pairing of Eng How with Syahir - stood firm.
In the latter stages of the half, the chances see-sawed. The new loan winger, Abit has caused a threat to the opponent with fine low crosses ,Noxs' freekick was kept out by the opponent goalkeeper, Eskandar powered a header wide and Hanafi stabbed Song Wei's flick over the bar from close range.
Half-time came and went with no changes of personnel, but with a definite shift in setting as teeming,earlier rain began to saturate the MMU turf. Eskandar again almost immediately tested Adly's handling of the wet and sloppy conditions, but the Italian was equal to his low, drilled effort. The Antiseptic had put all thier effort to hold on to the early lead eventhough the opponent frequently trying to get pass the defensive line. The hard work from Luqman, Abit, Che Mad ,Reza and Noxs at the midfield area has co\ause the opponent to strategies back their attacking plan. With the solid defensive from Apa,Song Wei, Eng How and Syahir, the man of the match Adly has least burden on his shoulders.
With Dettol ahead, the onus was always going to be on the team side to fashion chances, however, and the opponents' job was largely one of containment in the second half. After the recent spate of concessions, a clean sheet wouldn't just put Dettol through; it would mark a return to the defensive solidity which had been the bedrock of the MVP award for the goalkeeper and the defence.
Noxs did threaten again, drawing a fine low save from Helton, but he had already struck the telling blow with his trademark freekick. Now the Antiseptic must shoehorn 3 more massive games in order to become the champion. But, having signalled a return to miserly ways in defence and with a calm befitting of hunger for winning, Shea and her players will be relishing every minute that remains of this captivating season. A promising result and a prove that The Antiseptic truly are a mediocre team has make others team more aware of the status.

Skipper review:
"I would ask the lads to perform at their best and create something for a memories in the future. Play football at a sense that we have never played before , a nice, beautiful and interesting game to watch and talk about. A game that we will be proud of no matter what happen later"
Match Preview: Samurai keen on Antiseptic showdown rematch
VENUE: MMU OLD FIELD
After losing 3-2 in the friendly match against Wizurai early this trimester, The Antiseptic are once again to prove the pundits wrong. Eventhough they knew the opponents have an unbeaten run in the league, the Antiseptic still would try to achieve the impossible. ON paper, the team are equal at strength, but tomorrow match will decide which team is better.
Last term, Wizurai lost to Fire & Flames but this season, the Black Wolf manage to steal a draw against them. It s a motivation for the team but only a match against F&F is not enough to determine the outcome of the match.
Dettol has been scoring goals and concede as well in the process where else Wizurai have gain a full momentum during their league matches.But history has revealed that Wizurai only won against Dettol 1x last term while Dettol have won 2x and draw 3x all during friendly matches. Both teams have never meet in a real tournament and this will be the 1st time they meet up.
Dettol has yet to reveal their loan player since starting of the season. They have 2 more player to be unleashed and in this match, that would be a possiibities
Adly & Syahir Worth the Headache?
Dettol FC Top 10 Earners (RM per week)
Adly 220
Amir 190
Reza 180
Che Mad ;Eng How 170
Man;Song Wei 160
Shawn 145
Daron 140
Apa 140
Syahir 135
Sharvin 130
I wonder if DeTTol FC are ready to cut Adly & Syahir wages at this time. After 'cuti tak patut' they took last week. We won without them last friendly game which saw Dettol beat the Oldschool rival 3-0. All Dettol seem willing to do is fine them two weeks wages. To that I say ‘big deal’. Do you think Adly cares about missing a couple hundred RM when he got to have his fun? With RM220 per week, makes him one of the the highest paid player in the MMU league and the highest paid goalkeeper. Now granted Dettol did not have a game last weekend, but to just take a hike from friendly game is a joke. Sadly though, it doesn’t seem to scratch the surface with the trouble Syahir could possibly cause.
When does it get to a point where Dettol just say to hell with it and cut their losses with this player? It makes a club question if having a player of his caliber is worth all the trouble just to have around.
Another guy who at this point isn’t worth the headache is Syahir. Depending on who you want to believe, Dettol made a bonus payment that came about from resigning his contract back in 2008. While at the same time, Manager Shea has come out and said no deal has been made over Syahir and there are even some who are saying that Shea isn't all that bothered if this deal gets done or not.
And at this point, why would Dettol want to spend a few RM about it? For a transfer that has been talked about since before the January transfer window opened, it’s almost shocking at how slow this all has been. Shea may have finally gotten to a point where he just threw his hands up and has gone ‘if it happens it does, if not, who cares’. If that is the case I applaud him. Shea & Skipper Amir doesn’t need this headache to get in his way of guiding Dettol back into the top four.
