Thank you Kedah! Thank you Azraai Khor!

I am absolutely delighted to hear that Kedah had whipped Perak 5-1 in their 2007-2008 MSL soccer match held in Alor Setar yesterday night.

Congratulations Kedah! Congratulations Azraai Khor!

It must have been weird for you guys out there. After all, everybody knew that I’m a passionate Perak soccer fan. Under normal circumstances, I would have felt really bad to hear that Perak had been whipped and humiliated. Not anymore! Now, I have reasons of my own for feeling happy with Perak’s latest defeat to Kedah:
  • Azraai Khor has proven once again that local soccer coaches can outperform foreign soccer coaches such as Steve Darby any day
  • Kedah football/soccer association has also proven once again that Malay-speaking Kedah FA Officials can deliver results better than those English-speaking Perak FA Officials

Like any other Perakians; I no longer wish to see Steve Darby coach and manage Perak next season. Perak FA will surely give Steve Darby the much needed sacking if Perak failed to capture any honors in the current Malaysian Super League, FA and Malaysia Cups soccer tournaments.

So far, I can say that Kedah has ended Perak’s challenge in the current 2007-2008 MSL soccer tournament for sure last night. Selangor meanwhile has the golden opportunity to kill off Perak’s hope of winning the 2008 Malaysian FA Cup soccer tournament on March 27th in Shah Alam.

Perak no longer has any mathematical chance of winning the current 2007-2008 MSL soccer tournament and their hope of winning the 2008 Malaysian FA Cup looks pretty bleak too. Even if Steve Darby manage to win the 2008 Malaysia Cup soccer tournament for Perak, it is still not enough to convince Perak FA to retain him for another season.

Yes, Steve Darby has become a big financial liability for Perak FA (Padan muka!) and his days with Perak are now numbered and I will be the happiest person on earth if Steve Darby is no longer around next season. :-)
