All eyes were on returning Rio, all ears tuned to the demonstrations against the Glazer family but it was the breathtaking brilliance of Wayne Rooney which ensured Sir Alex Ferguson was granted his wish that the red half of Manchester remains United this week.

Once Boaz Myhill, the hero of Hull’s goalless draw at White Hart Lane, spilled an awkward long drive from Paul Scholes into Rooney’s path in the seventh minute, the champions were certain to reclaim their place at the Premier League’s summit.

It was just a question of how many goals would follow.

But Darren Fletcher, Michael Owen, Ji-Sung Park, Nani and Darron Gibson were all wasteful, much to Rooney’s chagrin, even though he missed two himself.

As he departed with the match ball after scoring four for the first time in his career, including three in the devastating final eight minutes, Rooney was still berating Gibson for one aimless shot which had denied him a goalscoring opportunity.

It was Rooney’s persistence which finally breached Hull a second time after Myhill had been deceived by Nani’s free-kick. Rooney somehow scooped the loose ball into a packed area before Gibson showed he had learned his lesson with a cute pass which the England man thrashed past the City keeper.


Double trouble: Rooney smashes home a second

With a substantial wage bill to cut and a former chairman facing High Court proceedings from the club following allegations surrounding Hull’s transfers, boss Phil Brown has enough on his plate without worrying about the merits of Rooney, a very obvious asset for the United board.

But after witnessing his single-handed demolition, completed by two sublime finishes to Nani and Dimitar Berbatov’s clever work, Brown was polite enough to offer his assessment of the player who Sir Alex is threatening to rest. As if he could afford to.

Brown said: ‘You are asking a guy who has managed a couple of seasons in the Premier League to advise someone who has managed for 23 or 24. Sir Alex will get it right.
‘It would be great to manage Wayne Rooney. The lad just wants to play football. He still has that boyish enthusiasm that you want from every player. He has that in abundance.

‘His movement is fantastic and his attitude is brilliant. He always tests a defender and you never know where he is.

'If your concentration levels are lapsing as you fatigue, Wayne is there to stick it in.’

And spare a thought for Brown’s captain Anthony Gardner.

He was tormented throughout by Rooney and said: ‘He is one of the toughest strikers to play against. He has all the attributes: great feet, great awareness, pace, he is strong on the ball and scores with his head as well.

‘He has everything. He is hard to mark because he goes deep and is a kind of floating striker.

‘As a defender, sometimes you want someone who goes right up against you. With players like Rooney, when he goes in the hole you can’t pick him up and it can disturb where you are on the pitch. He takes you where you don’t want to go.

‘With the World Cup coming up and as an England fan, I am just glad he is English and I just hope he does the business out there.’


Rio Watch

Out with a back injury since October, Rio Ferdinand breezed through the game in central defence alongside the impressive Jonny Evans.

There was one incident when he appeared to swing an arm at Craig Fagan as they jostled inside the area, awaiting the arrival of a Hull free-kick.

The officials missed it but it was picked up for debate by the eagle-eyed TV cameras.
Fergie Plea

In his programme notes, Sir Alex Ferguson pleaded for disgruntled fans to avoid fanning the flames engulfing the club’s owners, ‘Some are clearly unhappy with the financial position,’ he conceded.

‘But we mustn’t allow the situation to become divisive.’

That plea appeared to fall on deaf ears. Some United fans are refusing to wear red — opting for the green and gold of founding club Newton Heath — until the Glazers depart Old Trafford.


On deaf ears: Sir Alex Ferguson pleaded for calm in his programme notes

Polis bantuan maut dirempuh mahasiswa panik

KUALA LUMPUR 16 Jan. - Akibat panik dan ketakutan dicekup berkhalwat dalam kawasan kampus, seorang mahasiswa yang sedang berdua-duaan dengan pasangannya dalam kereta bertindak memecut kenderaannya untuk melepaskan diri.

Tindakannya dalam keadaan tergesa-gesa itu bagaimanapun mengundang padah apabila pelajar Universiti Tenaga Nasional (Uniten) di Bangi dekat sini itu gagal mengawal kenderaannya lalu terbabas dan merempuh pagar keselamatan di pintu utama universiti tersebut.

Rempuhan kuat itu mengakibatkan pagar besi di situ tumbang lalu mengenai kepala seorang polis bantuan yang kebetulan berada di situ sehingga mengakibatkan mangsa cedera parah di kepala dalam kejadian kira-kira pukul 2.30 pagi kelmarin.

Malangnya, setelah dua hari bertarung nyawa, mangsa, Mohd. Sufian Khamis, 25, gagal diselamatkan dan meninggal dunia di Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) pada pukul 4.30 petang ini.

Ketua Jabatan Ketenteraman Awam/Trafik Selangor, Supritendan Che Hussin Omar berkata, polis menerima dua laporan berkaitan insiden kemalangan itu pada Khamis lalu iaitu daripada mahasiswa terbabit dan penyelia polis bantuan universiti tersebut.

Katanya, kemalangan membabitkan mahasiswa tahun dua dari Fakulti Teknologi Maklumat itu dilaporkan berlaku pada pukul 2.30 pagi.

'Mengikut laporan, mahasiswa berusia 20 tahun yang memandu kereta Perodua Viva bersama seorang mahasiswi itu dikatakan gagal mengawal kenderaannya semasa mahu keluar dari kawasan kampus.

'Keretanya terbabas lalu melanggar pagar besi di situ lalu mengenai seorang polis bantuan,' katanya ketika dihubungi di sini hari ini.

Beliau berkata, mangsa kemudian dikejarkan ke Hospital Serdang untuk mendapatkan rawatan tetapi dipindahkan ke HKL selepas itu.

Selepas dua hari bertarung nyawa, katanya, mangsa disahkan meninggal dunia hari ini.

Che Hussin berkata, polis sudah mengambil keterangan daripada mahasiswa terbabit dan kes itu disiasat mengikut Seksyen 41(1) Akta Pengangkutan Jalan 1987 iaitu kecuaian menyebabkan kematian.

Kemusnahan teruk di Haiti akibat gempa selain Republik Dominica, Cuba

PORT-AU-PRINCE: Gempa bumi kuat melanda Haiti kelmarin turut dirasai di kepulauan Hispaniola, Republik Dominica dan sesetengah penduduk yang panik di ibu kota Santo Domingo segera keluar dari rumah yang bergegar.

Gegaran juga dirasai di timur Cuba apabila kediaman penduduk bergera. Tetapi, tiada kerosakan besar dilaporkan berlaku di Republik Dominica dan Cuba.



"Kami merasa ia amat kuat dan saya mengatakan ia agak lama. Kami tiada masa untuk berpindah," kata Dionisio Garcia, ketua paderi Santiago.

Pakar geofizik Kajian Geologi Amerika (USGS), Kristin Marano menyifatkan gempa terbaru Haiti sebagai yang paling kuat sejak 1770.

Pada 1946, satu gempa 8.1 skala Richter menggegarkan Republik Dominica yang turut menggegarkan Haiti menghasilkan tsunami yang mengorbankan 1,790 penduduk.
KAWASAN penduduk Canape-Vert antara paling teruk musnah selepas dilanda gempa.



Kebanyakan sembilan juta penduduk Haiti amat miskin, dan selepas bertahun-tahun menghadapi ketidakstabilan politik, negara itu tidak memiliki sektor pembinaan bermutu.

Pada November 2008, selepas runtuhan sebuah sekolah di Petionville, datuk bandar ini menganggarkan kira-kira 60 peratus bangunan dibina secara tidak kukuh dan tidak selamat.

Gempa kali ini meruntuhkan segala-galanya daripada pondok kecil sehinggalah Istana Presiden dan ibu pejabat pengaman Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (PBB).

Mangsa dan mereka yang cedera terbaring di tepi jalan walaupun ketika gegaran susulan meranapkan lagi negara rantau Caribbean yang miskin itu.
WARGA Haiti meninjau kemusnahan selepas gempa 7 skala Richter.


Wartawan berkata, gempa berlaku secara mengejut. Ada mangsa diselimuti debu merangkak keluar dari runtuhan merintih ketika mangsa lain berlegar-legar di sekitar jalan raya sambil berpegangan tangan.

Ribuan mangsa berkumpul di dataran awam sehingga lewat malam, sambil menyanyi. Ramai yang cedera parah masih duduk di tepi jalan awal pagi semalam, merayu bantuan doktor.

Ribuan bangunan rosak dan musnah di seluruh bandar dan selama beberapa jam selepas gempa, udara dipenuhi habuk tebal akibat runtuhan bangunan.

"Hospital tidak dapat menguruskan semua mangsa," kata Louis-Gerard Gilles, doktor dan bekas senator, ketika beliau membantu mangsa.

"Haiti perlu berdoa. Kita perlu berdoa bersama."

Jurukamera Associated Press menyaksikan sebuah hospital musnah dengan pesakit menjerit meminta

bantuan di Petionville, daerah tepi bukit di sini yang didiami ramai diplomat dan golongan kaya Haiti serta ramai penduduk miskin.

Di sebuah bangunan pangsapuri empat tingkat yang runtuh, seorang gadis berusia kira-kira 16 tahun berdiri di atas sebuah kereta, cuba meninjau di dalam ketika beberapa lelaki menarik sebatang kaki yang keluar dalam cubaan mengeluarkan tubuhnya. Kata budak perempuan itu, keluarganya berada di dalam pangsapuri terbabit. – AP/Reuters

dh turun2..x naik2.

once i step into that field, no one can stop me. i sometimes regretted the fact that i pulled myself out of the kuching team, will eventually will cement my place in the Sarawak rugby team. However, i was young that time. time latihan pusat dkat SHOAW, it was great. every afternoon practices kitorg mmg main semangat giler. sbab padang dkat dgn surau and ptang2 je ade prempuan tudung labuh tgk kitorg main. aku rase agak awkward actually. and akan ade student skolah teknik matang cheers kat kitorg yg tgh main. semangat weyy..dulu aku skeptis dkat player2 shoaw ( the best school in sarawak for rugby ) for being very arrogant and ego. however bile aku train dgn diorang, aku cpat2 dpt adapt with their gameplay. aku rs diorang x mcm yg aku imagine kan. diorang punye teamwork tinggi, support sume players on the field. aku rs semangat nak main. hehe tapi i pulled my self from the team. and the team eventually lost in the finals to miri. i dont know...they lost to miri due to absence of physical presence on-field. btw my reason of quitting was the fact that im conducting my school band. a good excuse though bcoz eventually we the band got the best improvement award that year. sometimes in life we have to let go of something to gain other something that is more meaningful compared to the former something mentioned b4. i dont know. 

and now im in uni, i hardly play bcoz of classes whatsoever. for 1 year i halted my debut..hahaha..and dis year, dis sem, aku nak turun padang. what i miss the most?

1. langgar orang tanpa belas kasihan and x payah mintak maaf right away. mintak maaf lpas match habis. tu pun kalau mnang lah. ;)

2. koyakkan baju team lawan, sape suruh pakai material murah. pakai jersey bola sape suruh. haha..

3. rase bangga masuk padang, spirited, as a team. menang or kalah we are together.

4. perasaan after match. this is the best part. kalau menang tu bayangkan betapa hepinya. dgn bruises, lenguh2. its worth it. 

5. boleh humban manusia sesuka hati sesedap rasa.

6. COOL!

7. COOL!

8. COOL!
