Boring draw. Still, hopefully they progress.

JDT take a jab at KAFA over Jonny McKain’s unpaid salary

Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) have taken a jab at an “individual” running for the post of Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) president on their Facebook page.

On the Johor Southern Tigers Facebook page, JDT posted a screenshot of former Kelantan import Jonathan McKain’s rebuttal tweet to a news claiming that Kelantan FA (KAFA) has paid up all the pending wages.

The news from FourthOfficial was about KAFA’s secretary general, Datuk Ismail Md Noor, who claimed that KAFA has settled all the pending wages owed in the month of January and February to their players and officials.

Datuk Ismail also went on to warn the media not to spread lies and rumours that may tarnish KAFA’s reputation.

However, former Kelantan import Jonathan McKain begged to differ.

“LIARS. Why do they continue to make public statements that are false. I HAVEN’T been paid and my case is currently at FIFA. I’m not alone…” McKain posted on Twitter, quoting the news by FourthOfficial.com

Kelantan’s former head coach, Velizar Popov, further reiterated McKain’s tweet by tweeting “You’re not alone…” Popov is also one the many that KAFA owed money to and have yet to pay up.

Several local football fans have also voiced their support for McKain, saying that they hope he gets paid soon and also urging KAFA to stand true to their words.

Johor Darul Ta’zim went on to question the “individual” about how can he yearn to be FAM’s president and talk about “financial fair play” when there are still “many outstanding issues regarding unpaid salaries of local and foreign players as well as debts” that are still plaguing “individual”s former club.

So KAFA, what do you guys have to say about this?

Should be a good couple of games.
I'd imagine it would be close and definitely a big chance for them to progress.
Would have been nice to get Ajax.

Behich starting in a rough game. They're down 3:0 with the right back getting a red and conceding a penalty. One CB got subbed off while another is on a yellow. Behich should definitely make the next squad. I just hope he doesn't stand so high.

Burton plays Blackburn this morning which is a massive game in terms of relegation but unfortunately no Irvine. He was subbed at half time vs Derby and Clough had this to say on him mid week:

Tight hamstrings worry us and that’s Michael and Jackson - if they go we know it will be four to six weeks.

So it seems to be a precaution to prevent him from being out for an extended period. 

that's rough for belgium. 3 teams through to this round is very impressive.  def the new netherlands.

You ever watched city play or? 

Silva and debruyne definitely play out wide sometimes they play as wingers, debruyne started up front a few weeks ago. Mooy would be brought in as cover for gundogan and delph or replace delph most likely.. Would be surprised if Yaya doesn't leave in the summer also.

Listen to the interview pre Huddersfield, Pep talks about Mooy a little says he's having unbelievable season...

Back to the bin Oscar...

Back to the bin Oscar.

Stefano Pioli will be without Miranda due to suspension at the back.  He's also going to be without the following players due to injury: defenders Trent Sainsbury and Jeison Murillo and midfielders Marcelo Brozovic and Geoffrey Kondogbia.

anyone picked up on this?  injury to sainsbury on the first chance to get on the pitch????

also 

The Nerazzurri will have to do without Miranda, who is suspended, and Pioli could be forced to revolutionize the defense with Medel and one of Ansaldi and Andreollicentrally located (it arrived Trent Sainsbury in January but the Australian is not convincing)

dont know how they can really tell that when he hasnt had a run. shame about china because from what i saw at zwolle he more than matched many serie a defenders.

every time an aussie gets an opportunity at a high level they get injured. Its crazy

supposedly he has the flu....

http://www.whoout.com/football/serie-a/

Just insane. 2 defenders out and Sainsbury picks up something. How reliable is this source? 

This was posted on the 21st. There are pictures of him training yesterday, the 24th. I think this 'expert ' pre-match report uses this website to write articles. The official Inter site said Brozovic us touch and go while there was no mention of Sainsbury.

@jass88
Course i watch the games, even if they play out wide so what? That means mooy would compete for thoose positions which doesnt he prefer to not play out wide?
Yeah silva and debruyne play out wide man
n
So what if they play out wide. How would that increase mooys chances. They generally have silva and same there. you gotta look at the context, pep praises mooy for playing well but its in the championship, which is definetly not the quality of an elite champions league team like Man city.
Cover for gundogen? Why when they already have silva, de bryne, and toure? One of them will be benched for gundogen or gundogen will be benched. Mooy may replace Delph but even then there's fernandinho and fernando

Unfortunetly Mooy is not at the level a starting position at man city. He would most likley be if pep brings him back on the bench or in reserves. At most he may even get thoose fa cup cameos
Wouldnt be suprised if he gets transfered out to another pl team thats a bottom or mid table team. That would be a win win situation

I personally would prefer to see mooy in a mid table team but I swear some people sound indignant, almost insulted and outraged at the prospect that he could possibly be good enough for man city....

He's no Allsopp, but I hope he makes it.

Reality vs dreams @grazor

We only have one player in the top 5 leagues that plays reguarly..... :/

no point talking about reality until you've had a go. And if you want to beat the odds you have to have self belief. That's always been the aussie attitude

stoic pessimists who boast about their sense of reality rarely punch above their weight.....

you seem trolly.. who are u really?

Hopefully Huddersfield win tonight
Hopefully Brighton & Hove Albion lose to Reading , that would put Hudders 1 point away from being top of the table.

Hudders have won their last 6 games in a row. best record on the table

Newcastle have bagged a sensational amount of goals this season and have the leagues best defense only letting in 28 goals. They appear destined for promotion , hard to see them not being in premier league next season

Statistically, Brighton & Albion should not lose second spot. But Huddersfield might just be able to pull this off somehow... would be amazing. 

There's still play offs, Huddersfield are in a great position.
More worried about Irvine being relegated.

Are any chance of Barnsley Aussies playing tonight?

51' #barnsleyfc 0-1 #htafc:


19' GOAL #barnsleyfc 0-1 #htafc: @michaelhefele powers a header into the top corner after meeting Mooy's corner (AT)

Mooy with the assist as his corner picks out Hefele who powers in a header

Mooy's having a friggin good game. Involved everywhere

He really has developed into a fantastic midfielder. Covers a lot of area and his passing range is incredible. Can definitely see him in the PL next season, hopefully with Huddersfield!

Really seems to be growing in confidence. I mean, this is all the stuff he was doing in the A-League

74' GOAL #barnsleyfc 1-1 #htafc:

Now they've had so many opportunities to score and now its even. they've had 66% possession and so many goals shave the bar.

This is where I can see them not getting promoted. Just lack the ability to finish these chances.(sorry) It's Nahki Wells their main striker not playing btw, he's been part reason for their successful run

90' SUB #barnsleyfc 1-1 #htafc: Ryan Williams is on for Adam Armstrong (AT)
