Controversy might cause disqualification

Yesterday semi final match between Dettol and Cyberheat was marred by chaos. After 1-1 draw and an endless penalty kick sudden deaths. Match officials decided to choose the winner by tossing coin, abiding the rule developed by the FA as a last resort to actually announce the winner of an endless match. What seems a simple solution turned complicated when a few of Cyberheat players went bonkers accusing that the rule destroys the image of the beautiful game and hence they stand their ground to disagree to the matter. What happened later was not clear as the sky at that time but one thing for sure it didn't stop the match officials to get fed up with the Cyberheat players and with no hesitation they all went back home resulting the match became abbandoned.

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.

Amer to retire at the end of the season

The aging 32 years old player stated that he has been offered a managerial post at a German club owned by an unknown oil tycoon from Russia and he was quoted to have been offered a 3 years contract with the club.

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

Last season Shawn was criticised heavily for his poor performance. But during last quarter final match, the Botswanian International tormented his former club and proved just why DeTTol shelled out so much effort to secure his service.

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 reckons it is time to ‘kill or be killed’ in the MMU Champions League. And the Japanese born skipper predicts Dettol fc will deal the fatal blow to Cyber Heat when they clash in the Stadium of Mud next Wednesday.

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."
