Amazing Comeback ! Glory MU

Manchester United pulled off another one of their astonishing comebacks to keep their Premier League unbeaten record intact. Blackpool had taken a 2-0 lead, but Manchester United fought back to win 3-2, with Dimitar Berbatov scoring his second goal in the 87th minute of a controversial match.

Manchester United vs Blackpool

Menjelang pertemuan pada pagi ini, perlawanan di antara MU bertemu Blackpool. Satu perlawanan yang boleh dianggap sebagai nostalgik. Sebagaimana diulas dan diulangi oleh dua lagenda bola sepak Inggeris iaitu Sir Bobby Charlton dan Jimmy Armfield. Pertemuan kali kedua dalam masa 40 tahun. Mari kita mengikuti ulasan dan kenangan mereka berdasarkan laporan Steve Curry.

Sir Bobby Charlton

Match details: how they stood

It was a fitting finale to Jimmy's career and one I look back on with fondness. By then we had become firm friends because not only had we played in the same army sides when we were both doing national service, but we were pals from our appearances with England.

Jimmy had not won his first cap when I became a regular in the side, but between 1961 and 1964 we were both usually in Alf Ramsey's team.

Of course, in those days there were a lot more Lancashire derbies because clubs like Blackpool, Blackburn, Burnley, Manchester United, Preston, Bolton and Everton were all in the first division.

At that time we were all earning the same wages, no matter who you played for, and there was a great camaraderie.

By the time that final game between the clubs came around, Jimmy and I had become firm friends. He was a lovely man and was really Mr Blackpool, as many people still see him.

There were some big names in the Blackpool side of that generation and, as a young player coming into the side, he was able to mix and play with his heroes Stanley Matthews and Stan Mortensen. He was one of the pioneering, overlapping full backs and operated down the same right flank as Matthews.

West Ham were the first team to introduce a players' lounge, where both teams could mix and have a drink, and that later became common when we went to these derbies.

There will be nobody prouder than Jimmy about Blackpool once again playing the top sides and there will be a lot of nostalgia in the air this evening.

I'm pleased to say that our friendship is as strong now as it was when we played together. Jimmy has become one of the most respected match analysts on radio and, like me, he has stayed in touch with the game. He has always been a gentleman and a great model as a player and as a man.

Jimmy Armfield

I shall always remember that last game against United and I find it astonishing that the two teams have not met since then. This is a big occasion, a landmark for Blackpool.

After I had been diagnosed with a chronic knee problem, the consultant advised me not to carry on playing and I felt it was fitting that United were the opposition for my last game because Bobby would be there.

CAREER

Blackpool: 626 appearances, 1954-1971.

England: 43 caps (15 as captain), 1959-1966.

• Voted best right back at 1962 World Cup.

• Voted best right back in Europe in 1962, '63 and '64.

• Member of England's World Cup-winning squad in 1966 but didn't play after losing out to George Cohen.

There were 30,000 in the ground for the farewell and both sides lined up to form a guard of honour as I ran out on the pitch. I recall posing for the photographers alongside Bobby.

We earned a 1-1 draw in that game - a good result for us then, as it would be tonight. I don't recall being too emotional after the game, although I am quite a sensitive type. I was realistic enough to know nothing goes on forever.

I had played until I was almost 36 and my routine has always revolved around Blackpool Football Club. On that last day, I can remember Tony Green scored our goal and that at the end all the fans came on to the pitch to say their farewells.

Bobby and I have sustained our friendship over the years and, in fact, we were together very recently at a function staged by the Lancashire Partnership Against Crime, which I chair.

It was a nostalgic get-together because I also invited Roger Hunt, Ian Callaghan and John Connelly, so we had five members of the World Cup squad from 1966. I'm just hoping I can meet up with Bobby on what I know will be an emotional night for Blackpool.

Apakah Peranan Akhbar?

Akhbar atau surat yang setiap hari mengkhabarkan sesuatu perkara yang telah terjadi atau yang akan terjadi. Akhbar pada hari ini cuba mencari selera baru melihat kepada cara memikat pembaca, dengan meletakkan berita-berita yang tidak memberi pulangan idea kepada pembaca.

Jika melihat sepintas lalu dalam seminggu ini, boleh dikatakan berita di akhbar melaporkan perkara yang ingin disangsikan bagi menarik perhatian pembaca. Cerita dan cara pengkhabaran tidak seimbang di antara tuntutan rohani dan jasmani. Tidak perlu melihat kepada akhbar Metro dan Kosmo yang sudah tentu melaporkan di muka hadapannya berita sensasi seperti goreng pisang panas. Panas hanya untuk seketika buat tatapan remaja dan pembaca yang dahagakan perkara sensasi.

Sebagai melaporkan berita, seharusnya berita yang ingin dilaporkan seharusnya meletak nilai agama atau moral sesuatu berita dihadirkan di dada akhbar, bukan untuk tujuan ekonomu semata-mata.

Keraguan kehidupan

Kehidupan bila bibit kebosanan wujud, maka apakah makna kehidupan. Jika kehidupan menjadi bebanan mengapakah ditanggung lagi. Sukar amat sukar meneruskan kehidupan bila wujud noktah-noktah kegegelapan.

Apakah makna disebalik noktah-noktah yang mungkin merekah atau mengecilkannya semula. Tidak tahu bilakah masanya. Jiwa bergoncang. Lara membakar jiwa yang kekeringan. Yakin dan tidak pasti, dan yang pasti terdapat dalam posisi keraguan.

Keraguan oh keraguan adakah kau punca kepada kejayaan insan kerdil? Adakah kau wujud dalam setiap diri insan hebat? Keraguan oh keraguan bolehkah kau bicara bersendirian tanpa wujudnya teman akrab mu. Keraguan kau tetap ada dalam setiap insan kerdil atau insan hebat.

Keraguan dalam keraguan, apakah namanya kau keraguan.

Bacalah ‘zahrawain’

Dari Abu Umamah al-Bahili r.a, katanya dia mendengar Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda:”Bacalah al-Quran kerana dia akan datang memberikan syafaat kepada pembacanya pada hari kiamat nanti. Bacalah Zahrawain, iaitu surah al-Baqarah dan Aali-Imran , kerana keduanya akan datang pada hari kiamat nanti seperti dua kumpulan awan menaungi pembacanya atau seperti dua kelompok burung yang sedang terbang dalam matlamat hendak membela pembacanya. Bacalah al-Baqarah kerana dengan membacanya beroleh berkat dan dengan tidak membacanya beroleh penyesalan dan pembacanya tidak dapat dikuasai (dikalahkan oleh tukang-tukang sihir). ”
(Muslim)
