Majalah Sarawak 2011

Jikalau anda peminat setia bolasepak Liga English sejak era 70-an, 80-an semestinya anda ada memiliki dan menyimpan sebuah majalah mingguan, SHOOT. Majalah yang memaparkan segala berita dan kisah mingguan bolasepak di sana. Manakala, Arena Bola Sepak pula adalah majalah bolasepak bulanan terkenal di negara kita.

Di Sarawak sendiri, dengan hasil nukilan wartawan sukan terkenal dari Utusan Sarawak iaitu En. Awang Shahferi, En Drahman Baharun & En Faizal Bujang maka terhasil lah sebuah majalah bolasepak yang terbaru iaitu Sarawak 2011.

Saya bersama Hairul Faizee, Pengurus Besar SADIEHAF Sarawak di samping Majalah Sarawak 2011 dalam satu majlis dinner tempohari.

Majalah ini berkisarkan kepada skuad bolasepak Sarawak yang pernah mencipta detik gemilang pada era tahun 90-an. Tidak lupa juga kepada fenomena Ngap Sayot yang tercipta pada tahun 1988. Selain itu ia menceritakan mengenai latar belakang skuad Sarawak 2011, harapan dan impian. Serta 'libasan' Bujang Senang turut dijelmakan sebagai imbasan semula tentang detik kebangkitan dan kehebatan skuad Sarawak suatu ketika dahulu.

Antara topik-topik yang hangat dalam majalah ini adalah 'Sejenak bersama bos FAS', 'Zaki: usah terlalu hormat', 'Profil 23 pemain Sarawak', 'Mahyan bongkar rahsia kejayaan Ngap Sayot', 'Suka duka Ngap Sayot' dan banyak lagi.

Walaupun saya dibesarkan semasa era kebangkitan Ngap Sayot pada lewat tahun 80-an, namun terdapat beberapa fakta yang saya tidak ketahui mengenainya. Melalui majalah ini juga, saya dapat mengimbau kembali kenangan lama semasa era bolasepak ketika kecil-kecil dulu...:)

Majalah yang setebal 36 muka surat ini adalah berharga RM3.90 senaskah. Jika anda berminat bolehlah terus melayari Sadiehaf Sarawak untuk maklumat lebih lanjut. Beli jangan sik beli. NGAP SAYOT!!!!

Playing in the afternoon may affect team’s performance, says Zaki

Kejap main petang, kejap main malam. Begitulah senarionya pada ketika ini. Apa pun, mungkin di negara kita sudah biasa dengan game pada malam hari. Semoga berjaya hendaknya pasukan negeri ku..:)

A daylight glitch

COACH Zaki Sheikh Ahmad is worried that playing at 4.15pm could affect his team’s performance in the Premier League campaign.

“Playing at night and daytime are two different ball’s game but I just hope my boys can cope with it,” he said.

Zaki said in their first match against Penang in Batu Kawan, his players were exhausted and complained about the heat.

The “Bujang Senang” team will face Harimau Muda B at the State Stadium at 4.15pm on Feb 11.

“I would like to urge locals to come and support our team because we need their help to boost the morale of the players,” said Zaki, who is worried that the matches may be played in an empty stadium because most people would still be at working at that time.

Local fans are expressing their unhappiness over the fixtures of the home matches.

A diehard fan of Sarawak football team, Mohd Ariff, 24, said the time would definitely affect the turnout at the stadium.

“At 4.15pm most people are still working, so who will have the time to come to the stadium to watch the match?” he said.

Echoing Ariff’s view is his friend Desmond Tan, who is disappointed that he would be missing the match.

“I am working with a private company and my work finishes at 5pm. So it looks like I will miss the matches,” said Tan.

It is unavoidable for Football Association of Sarawak (FAS) to hold the matches in the evening for the next two months at the stadium as the floodlights are being repaired.

Meanwhile, arrangement is being made by the Sarawak Die Hard Fans (Sadiehaf) to bring their members to Kuching to support the State Premier League team when they face Harimau Muda B.

Sadiehaf general manager Hairul Faizee Sa’aidin said four buses would be used to bring the fans on Feb 10 from Miri, Bintulu, Sibu, Sarikei, Betong and Sri Aman Division.

He said each fan would be charged RM200 which will include transportation cost, accommodation and match tickets.

Hairul said the response has been very encouraging and hope that more would join the trip.

He said the purpose of bringing in supporters from other divisions was to give morale support to the players and the team.

Sarawak won their first match 4-0 against Penang at Batu Kawan Stadium on Monday.

With the win, which has been regarded as a morale booster for the team, the local fans are expected to return to the stadium to watch the “Bujang Senang” skuad facing Harimau Muda B.

Sarawak perlukan sokongan

Pada hari ahad yang lepas, saya berkesempatan meluangkan masa seketika untuk bertemu dengan pasukan bolasepak negeri di Kuching Waterfront. Majlis yang dianjurkan oleh SADIEHAF SARAWAK iaitu Sarawak Football Die Hard Fan's bersama FAS dan Radio ERA.fm.

KUCHING: Hanya tinggal seminggu sahaja lagi sebelum pasukan Sarawak memulakan perjuangan mereka dalam kancah Liga Malaysia 2011 tatkala tirai Liga Perdana disingkap pada 31 Januari ini.

Sarawak membuka langkah pertama dengan menentang pasukan Pulau Pinang di gelanggang lawan, Stadium Batu Kawan Pulau Pinang dalam saingan Liga Perdana pada Isnin depan.

Memandang ke belakang dengan menyedari beberapa musim kebelakangan ini kelihatan hambar, jauh di sudut hati skuad negeri untuk mula mempamerkan kewibawaan sebenar mereka di pentas bola sepak kebangsaan demi mengangkat kembali maruah bola sepak negeri.

Tidak hairanlah jika Presiden Persatuan Bola Sepak Sarawak (FAS), Datu Sudarsono Osman meletakkan harapan yang begitu tinggi kepada skuad Sarawak musim ini untuk mengecapi kejayaan gemilang di pentas bola sepak, berbekalkan sokongan padu para peminatnya.

“Kita berharap para peminat dan penyokong setia pasukan Sarawak akan memberi sokongan padu kepada pasukan kita untuk menyemarakkan semangat pemain-pemain beraksi nanti,” katanya.

Berucap pada majlis ‘Sesi Pemain Bertemu Peminat’ di Tebingan Kuching di sini semalam (Ahad), Sudarsono percaya ribuan peminat bola sepak tempatan akan membanjiri stadium pada perlawanan pembukaan nanti.

Beliau berkata pasukan Sarawak 2011 merupakan adunan pemain-pemain berpengalaman musim lalu dan muka baru selain penampilan pemain-pemain import tempatan dari Johor, Negeri Sembilan dan Sabah.

“Saya percaya dengan pengalaman serta bakat-bakat yang ada dalam skuad Sarawak musim ini, kita mampu melakar kejayaan yang diidam-idamkan,” katanya sambil yakin Sarawak mampu melayakkan diri ke Liga Super pada musim hadapan.

Sudarsono menekankan pentingnya sokongan padu penyokong dan peminat setia pasukan Sarawak dicetuskan kembali pada musim seperti mana yang pernah kita saksikan ketika era kegemilangan ‘Ngap Sayot’ dan Bujang Senang.

Beliau menegaskan para penyokong memainkan peranan yang amat penting dalam membakar semangat para pemain untuk mengembalikan maruah bola sepak negeri yang ‘tercalar’ sejak beberapa musim kebelakangan ini.

“Semua pemain kini sudah bersiap sedia untuk mengibarkan cabaran mereka dalam kempen Liga Malaysia musim baru ini, justeru marilah sama-sama kita memberi sokongan kepada pasukan negeri,” katanya.

Skuad Sarawak akan beraksi buat pertama kali di gelanggang sendiri apabila menentang pasukan Harimau Muda B di Stadium Negeri, Petra Jaya jam 4.15 petang pada 11 Februari depan (Jumaat).

Sarawak terpaksa beraksi sebelah siang (petang) di Stadium Negeri buat sementara ini kerana Stadium Sarawak (gelanggang utama) masih dalam penyelenggaraan kerja-kerja pemasangan lampu limpah.

Selain Pulau Pinang dan Harimau Muda B, Sarawak juga bersaing dengan PDRM, Johor, Majlis Perbandaran Muar Johor, KL Pos Malaysia, ATM, Selangor PKNS, Kelab Bola Sepak USM Pulau Pinang, SDM Navy, Perlis dan Sime Darby.

Fan club pledges undying support- SADIEHAF SARAWAK!!!!!

Tahniah diucapkan kepada SADIEHAF SARAWAK yang diterajui oleh tak lain dan tak bukan saudara Encik Hairul Faizee..teruskan usaha anda sekalian!!! Semoga mendapat tandatangan seperti yang ditargetkan!!!

KUCHING: Newly established Sarawak Football Die Hard Fans (Sadiehaf) vows to give undying support to the 2011 state Premier League team when the league kicks off on Jan 31.

Sadiehaf general manager Hairul Faizee Saaidin said the fan club has planned to gather all the Crocs supporters statewide to rally behind the team starting this season.

“Sadiehaf together with Radio Era.fm will work closely to give massive publicity for the Crocs and giving full support to the team and Football Association of Sarawak (FAS) and we give whatever they need to get back to top flight,” said Faizee. He told this in a press conference, where they were planning to collect 10,000 signatures of Sarawak football fans together with era.fm statewide which will be presented to the players and FAS management committee soon. Faizee reasoned out getting the 10,000 signatures of the fans was technically realistic and just.

“The fact is that we can always sign for 20 or even 30 thousand of supporters signatures but 10 thousand signatures is a realistic target.

“Sarawak showed an improvement in the last two seasons from rock bottom in 2009 but climbed to sixth placing in 2010; and we are hoping the team to improve this season.”

“Should Sarawak flop again this season, there are still at least 10,000 fans who are giving the undying support to the team.”

Faizee said the event was the first time ever to be held by Sadiehaf and fully supported by era.fm in gathering all the support for the team.

“At first we were planning the collection of signatures only to be held in Kuching and Samarahan, but due to demand by fans from other divisions, we have decided that the campaign will cover statewide to get the signatures,” he said.

He mentioned that the fans in Miri have been informed and no less than 1,000 fans from the northern zone will join the fans in Kuching.

“They will be using bus from Miri to Kuching and all expenses will be borne by the fans but we will be providing the cheapest price for them to travel here,” he added.

Faizee told the press conference that the prelude to the match, there would be sports carnival to be held outside the stadium.

“We will also setting up booths for fans to purchase Crocs paraphernalia. The last time we organised the event was in 2009 and this year we will do it again,” he pointed out, adding that Sadiehaf had appointed era.fm as the official radio channel.

“The signatures collecting campaign started since Wednesday and we have travelled to Lim kok Wing University, SMK Tun Openg and the campaign will go on to Swinburne University (today) and will carry on to other places aswell,” he said.

Meanwhile, era.fm operations manager for Kuching Iza Ibrahim said the radio channel had proudly involved in promoting and supporting the team.

“We have involved in Bintang Bola Era vs Sarawak FA game and we are proud to be part of it. We will also continue the programme with the Community Service Announcement (CSA).”

Iza mentioned that the CSA programme will see the Crocs players given interviews on air for the fans to get to know the players.

“We have covered six places this week and we hope to cover at least twelve places by next week in order to get more signatures and support for the Ngap Sayot team,” said Iza
