T-Team player: It was safe to play on

JOHOR BARU: A T-Team player has come forward to say that his team’s safety was not compromised and felt that there was no need to stop play during T-Team’s FA Cup second-round clash against Johor Darul Takzim (JDT) last Saturday.

Defender Muhd Irfan Abdul Ghani said that his assistant coach Azlan Johar was the one who had determined that it was unsafe to play on and called for the team to pack up and abandon the second half of the match at the Larkin Stadium after a JDT top official allegedly assaulted a T-Team player and the team’s fitness coach.
