Chelsea has lodged a formal complaint with the Malaysian Football Association alleging that the club's Israel midfielder Yossi Benayoun was the subject of antisemitic abuse during last week's friendly in Kuala Lumpur (here).
Benayoun (right) during a matchLarge sections of the 84,980 crowd at the Bukit Jalil national stadium booed and jeered Benayoun's every touch in Chelsea's 1-0 victory over a Malaysian XI. The 30-year-old, one of the first Israelis to play in the country, did not complain at the time and was substituted at the interval along with all the starting XI.
But are the Malaysian fans antisemitic? I don't know but it shouldn't have happened to sports. Of course Malaysia strongly supports the Palestinian people - does not recognise Israel and maintains no diplomatic ties with the state - but no barrier should be imposed on sports.
In the meantime, Malaysia will clash with Singapore again for the World Cup qualifier. Down 3-5, I hope our Tigers put up their best to overcome the deficit and win.
I wont be able to join them at the stadium as I've got a date with a doctor. Being two goals down is not a big deal. I remember how Nottingham Forest beat Norwich 4-3 after trailing by three goals during one EPL thriller in the late 1980s.
MALAYSIA BOLEH..... ke?

they were not antisemitic bro.
that benayoun was a rough player. he was booed for that, and not for being an israeli.
but chelsea has spin it to attract sympathy for its player. shouldnt be that way...
jai.... tu sikap segelintir penyokong. tapi aku tak fikir ianya menunjukkan kebencian atau antisemitik. chlesea atau media asing tak patut gembar-gemburkannya sebagai melambangkan inilah sikap rakyat malaysia terhadap israel.
kalau israel tu menghormati PBB dan mengiktiraf palestin sebagai sebuah negara merdeka dan bekas, aku yakin malaysia akan jalin hubungan diplomatik dengannya.
kita tidak bencikan orang yahudi... kita cuba bencikan keganasan regim yahudi.
jadi, apa yang berlaku di stadium tempoh hari tidak mencermikan kebencian mereka kepada benayon atau orang yahudi. mungkin segelintir saja yang cuba menunjukkan protes terhadap israel.
bro... what do u mean by your 'MALAYSIA BOLEH....ke?' ???
u want them to win but u youself is not confident, right?
main main ka?
didnt we allow a team of israeli hockey players (correct me if i am wrong) to malaysia during the 80s, and there wasnt any prob at all?
si benayun ni saja je nak buat kecoh, biar satu israel dan semua orang yahudi bencikan malaysia.
nak kena cepuk mangkuk ni!
so, we are the bad people? how about the israelis? they are anti semitic too.
chelsea should stop politicising the issue.
sports is sports, bro.
what happened back then was regrettable but only a few was involved and it didnt reflect the view of all malaysians.
so, there shouldnt be any issue here...
Definitely anti-semitic with all the shouts of "Yahudi" "Israel" which means "Jews" "Israel" from the crowd.
It's all the brainwashing done by the national TVs and newspapers to it's citizens!.
There's no need to plead ignorance!
tu alasan je untuk burukkan nama malaysia di dunia.
dah memang sifat orang yahudi macam tu - burukkan nama orang islam.
ah-haaaaaa!!1
they already sensationalize the issue.
nope! malaysians are not antisemitic.
the west are!
the next time we want to invite such friendly matches with them, make sure they dont bring any jew here!
sukan tidak harus membezakan keturunan, warna, agama dan bangsa.
sukanlah yang merapatkan hubungan antara negara dan sesama manusia!
i dont want to say anything about chelsea. my focus is malaysia-singapore match.
malaysia will win on aggregate 7-6
MALAYSIA BOLEH... ke?
apa la kau ni. menyindir atau tak yakin dengan pasukan sendiri!
small matter also want to make big aa?
pundek walekek!
meme kucah bojeng bro.
pade muko. kecek ja besar, ley kecik!
hehehehehehehe!!!
bui lagi la datukship pado jurulatih dan pemain kito nih! kalau lawe team klate pung belum tentu meney!
yes sir.
in spore last week, the defense cracked easily. the coach didnt teach them defense, i think!
takyah main bolasepak lagi lah. elok main gasing je.
saya sokong abang cakap diorang tahan bola pun melantun kepada pemain lawan. pemain lawan ambil peluang le.
suruh diorang lawan team estet je!
jai,
kau macam hot jo. rilex la.
tapi memang boto la. pemain kito nampak macam pemain sekolah menongah jo. kalau lawan team big ben masjid tanah pun bolom tontu monang. apo pun, big ben dah lamo tutup kodai.
den sokong kau pasal pakai duo kaki ni. pemain kito tahan bola guno kaki yang samo dan sepak dengan kaki yang samo. lombab!
ni lah akibatnya kalau kaki bangku pun diberi peluang main untuk pasukan kebangsaan.
mana tidaknya. anak VIP, anak kawan2 FAM pun dapat main walaupun kaki macam siot!
memang apa yang tulis kat bawah posting ni... MALAYSIA BOLEH... ke? tepat sekali!
padan muka!
come on guys.
they did their best but their best was not good enough!
at least, appreciate them!
bang,
pemain kita berat telur!
