Terengganu Victims in 2013 FA Cup Semi-Finals

Lest people forget, Terengganu were the victims of a very bad call by the then referee in the 2013 FA Cup semi-finals (second leg). They were thus robbed of a place in the finals.

Flashbak: Suhaizi flashing the red card to Effa Owana

 A former FIFA assistant referee, while explaining the offside Terengganu's fourth goal against Lions XII last week, agreed that Kelantan's last breadth goal in the 2013 semi-finals was however a clear offside, not in Terengganu's favour.  Obinna's disputed goal which was unfortunately allowed by referee Suhaizi Shukri, forced the Terengganu Vs Kelantan semi final match into extra time as they were leading 4-0 before the goal.


Terengganu which also lost two players after being flashed the red cards by him subsequently won only 4-2 in the return leg, losing to Kelantan 5-6 on aggregate.

There was no riot then. Neither was there a threat of withdrawal even though the then Terengganu MB, Datuk Seri Ahmad Said did make a remark on refereeing standard. The referee and his assistant were "quietly" suspended subsequently. However the deliberation was not as fast as Monday's decision by FAM, which upheld the referee's decision on Terengganu's fourth goal against Lions XII.

On the "rare" Terengganu's fourth goal against Lions XII, a foreign coach earlier said, " The referee's decision is final. The (score) can't be changed. If video recording shows it was an offside, then the referee was correct. If it shows otherwise, FAM can suspend the referee but it can't change the final score."

Incidentally, Suhaizi was also the referee in the Kelantan versus Pahang semi-final last Saturday. 



   

Pengadil kontroversi Suhaizi Shukri yang dilaporkan Terengganu Today dalam mengadili perlawanan berat sebelah separuh akhir kedua antara Terengganu dan Kelantan pada 29 mei lalu sah digantung selama setahun oleh Jawatankuasa Pengadil FAM. Jelaslah tindakan beliau melayangkan kad merah kepada 2 pemain Terengganu iaitu Effa Owana dan Manaf Mamat adalah satu keputusan silap serta membenarkan gol Kelantan yang dijaringkan Obinna Nwaneri yang betul-betul berada dalam kedudukan offside.
