3 INDERA PLAYERS GET RED CARDS, MATCH CALLED OFF



The DST Super League match between Tabuan Muda (the national under-23 team) and Indera Sports Club (SC) was abandoned after the latter were reduced to only eight players on the field.

The match commissioner yesterday said that the match cannot continue if one side has only eight players in the team and that Tabuan Muda automatically will be awarded three points.

Both teams could not find the breakthrough at the Balapan Track and Field of the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex.

Indera were reduced to eight players when captain Shahrin Hj Momin was sent off for a second yellow card in the 61st minute forcing the referee to call off the match immediately.

Earlier in the first-half, Indera’s defender Mohammad Afi Aminuddin was sent for an early shower in the 23rd minute after second bookable offence.

Meanwhile, left-back Muiz Sisa was shown a straight red card just four minutes later following a dangerous tackle on Tabuan Muda player.

Indera’s head coach Hj Omar Hj Jamil expressed his disappointment with the quality of refereeing in the match.

“I think the referee did not control the game well and it led to most players feeling upset and frustrated,” said Hj Omar in an interview with The Brunei Times after the match.

“I have no complaint with the second red card but the first and the third red card were very harsh.

“I really think that Afi just went for a normal challenge… it is what all defenders do and I don’t think that it was a bad challenge, and it was also the same with Shahrin.

“We do not have anything against the referee but today’s refereeing was just very poor. He did not manage to control the players,”

“There were a lot of inconsistencies in decisions as well, such as allowing Tabuan Muda substitutes on the bench to use green colours when we were using the same colour on the pitch during the game,” continued the head coach.

“Today’s game was very important for us as we are still fighting for the second place against Najip I-Team. I really hope that we can bounce back from this result,” he added.

Indera remained second in the table with 32 points ahead of Najip I-Team who are now on 30 points.

Royal Brunei Armed Forces Sports Council (MS ABDB) have already secured the DST Super League title on Friday with two games left to play.

A dominating performance from Indera SC lacked a cutting edge, with the inaugural DST Super League winners forced to recover from Mohd Helmie Noorazmi’s first half header through Reduan bin Hj Petara’s 65th minute strike. Their lack of conviction proved fatal in the ensuing penalty shoot-out as they missed two penalties as LLRC FT celebrated a hard-fought victory. The team from Kuala Belait took the lead in the 7th minute, when Mohd Helmie Noorazmi headed home from close range. They remained in control for the rest of the half, but a ...

BAYONG SENDS QAF FC TO SUMMIT

Jason Thomas BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN Tuesday, July 14, 2009 VIBAN FRANCIS BAYONG broke Jerudong FC's hearts last night with a goal in injury-time to send QAF FC back to the top of the DSTGroup Brunei Premier League I (BPL I) with a 2-1 win. Though he netted both of the defending champions' goals at the Balapan Track & Field, Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex in Berakas, the Cameroonian midfielder was quick to deflect any individual praise. A free-kick from Ak Md Kamarul Ariffin Pg Ramlee in the 92nd minute was met by Bayong, who also opened the scoring for QAF FC in the 27th minute when he tapped in a header from Md Aqmal Hakeem Abd Hamid. "I thank the team for playing well ... All the guys did a great job today (Monday)," said Bayong. "It is not only about Viban, we won because the team played well. Did you see that cross? If it wasn't for him (Ak Md Kamarul Ariffin) we would not have won," he added. With the Royal Brunei Armed Forces ...

Picture: BT file Two-time DST Super League champions Indera Sports Club (SC) have been successfully granted a replay against Tabuan Muda (the national Under-23 team). The match last month was called off after 61 minutes when Indera captain Shahrin Hj Momin was sent off for a second yellow card, leaving the team with just eight players. The referee stopped the game and told both teams the match could not continue if one side has only eight players in the team – which is against FIFA’s ‘Laws of the Game 2015/2016’. In the rule book, Law 3 states that “A match is played by two teams, each consisting of not more than eleven players, one of whom is the goalkeeper. A match may not start if either team consists of fewer than seven players.” National Football Association of Brunei Darussalam (NFABD) have confirmed in a press yesterday that the match will now be played tomorrow at the Balapan Track and Field of the Hass...
