Kick off time Bayern München vs Chelsea 2012 UEFA Champions League final

Kick of time of 2012 UEFA Champions League final

Bayern’s dreams of lifting the trophy in their home stadium had been at the top of their agenda since before the start of the season. Chelsea’s billionaire Russian owner, Roman Abramovich has had his eyes on the trophy since he bought the club in 2003, although even he must have thought the chances of lifting it this season were slight as their campaign appeared to disintegrate under coach Andre Villas-Boas.

But after Villas-Boas was sacked in March and replaced by caretaker Roberto di Matteo, Chelsea’s season came alive and they find themselves on the brink of being crowned European champions for the first time.

When the draw for the later stages of the Champions League opened the way for Barcelona and Real Madrid to meet in the final in Munich, not many people would have placed their bets on one involving Bayern Munich and Chelsea.

The prospect of a dream El Clasico played out between the Spanish giants in Munich seemed highly likely, if not inevitable.

But German club’s semi-final penalty shootout win over Real and Chelsea’s heroic rearguard action in Barcelona has produced an intriguing showdown to an unpredictable competition.

Nishat Majumder First Bangladeshi women conquers Everest

Posted on May 19, 2012 by esoccer



Nishat Majumder has climbed to the peak of the Mount Everest as the first Bangladeshi women. She reached Everest’s 8,850-meter-high (29,035-foot-high) summit from the southern side of the mountain on Saturday morning with another team member, M A Muhit.

“We found out from her Sherpa that Nishat and M A Muhit have made it to the top around 9:30am,” Bangla Mountaineering and Trekking Club founder Inam Al Haque told  on Saturday.


Both Majumder and Muhit are members of the club.  Nishat Majumder was also the first Bangladeshi woman to have conquered three Himalayan peaks higher than 6,000 metres.

Nishat Majumder, the first Bangladeshi women ever, has conquered the highest peak of the ranges of Mount Everest.

An accountant by profession, Majumder was accompanied by Muhit, a veteran climber who made it to the top of Everest, Manaslu and Cho-Oyu- 3 summits higher than 8,000 metres.

Majumder dedicated her climb to Plan in Australia’s ‘Because I am a Girl’ campaign

Earlier, Mohit won the Everest through the side of Tibet. Therefore, he is the only Bangali ever who won the Everest from both North and South sides.

Shahrukh banned from Wankhede Stadium – Shah Rukh Khan ‘won’t apologise for Wankhede brawl’

Posted on May 17, 2012 by esoccer



Bollywood Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, owner of IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders, has been banned from Mumbai`s Wankhede stadium while an inquiry into an alleged brawl he got into last evening is conducted. The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA), which has issued the ban, alleges that the popular actor abused and misbehaved with security personnel and its officials after a match against the Mumbai Indians.  Shah Rukh Khan and cricket officials in Mumbai were engaged in a war of words on Thursday hours after the actor’s altercation with security guards and officials at the city’s Wankhede stadium following an Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket match.

In Delhi, however, Rajiv Shukla, chairman of the IPL said that reports of a ban are incorrect.  He said a decision has yet to be taken, and that the version of ‘the franchisee’ will also be considered.

The alleged scuffle happened when the actor and his entourage were stopped from going on to the ground after the match, which the Kolkata Knight Riders won. The MCA alleges that Shah Rukh was drunk.

The  ban means that Shah Rukh Khan will not be seen at the Wankhede for any match till the inquiry is completed. There has been no comment yet from the Bollywood star. The MCA, which administers the stadium, has lodged a police complaint; it says a security guard was manhandled by SRK`s entourage. But sources say  the guard’s inhuries are minor, which means that the complaint is likely to be treated as non-cognizable.

As part of the inquiry initiated into the incident, the statements of Wankhede staff and officials of the MCA will be recorded. No decision has been taken yet on whether Shah Rukh Khan will be called for recording his statement. ‘He (Khan) misbehaved and abused the MCA security personnel as well as MCA officials, including our president Vilasrao Deshmukh, after the IPL match (between KKR and Mumbai Indians). We have decided to ban him for life from entering the stadium in future,’ MCA treasurer Ravi Savant said, adding ‘SRK was dead drunk, our security tried to stop him but he pushed him and abused in such filthy language that I cannot use it here. Our  officials tried to pacify him but he started abusing them, he abused MCA, BCCI and used the f word and said whatever you want to do you do it…’

Mr Savant said after KKR’s 32-run rout of the Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede, Shah Rukh and his posse of bodyguards went up to the teams’ dressing room and then came down and tried to go on to the ground. ‘The MCA security personnel told them they could not do so as the match was over, which led to Shah Rukh abusing them as well as the MCA officials. There was manhandling too by his people,’ he said.

The official said IPL CEO Sundar Raman and the BCCI`s media manager Devendra Prabhudesai were present when the scuffle happened.

The actor has been caught in controversy at the Wankhede before when he was seen smoking much to the disapproval of many. This is also the second brawl that the actor has allegedly been involved in in recent times. Some months ago he was reported to have got into a scuffle with Shirish Kunder, the husband of director Farah Khan. The actor has

“He started manhandling the security guards … and when MCA officials rushed there, he started abusing them also,” Nitin Dalal, joint secretary of the MCA, told Times Now television.

“We have filed a police complaint against him and are considering banning him for life from the Wankhede,” MCA treasurer Ravi Sawant told reporters.
