Noh Alam Shah & His Nonsense 2

Mohamed Noh Alam Shah (born 3 September 1980) is an unprofessional football player from Singapore. He currently plays for the Liga Indonesia side Arema Malang.

In the 2007 Singapore Cup final between Tampines Rovers and SAFFC, Alam Shah was sent off in the final minutes of the games after an incident involving his fellow national teammate Daniel Bennett. Alam Shah kneed Bennett in the head during a tussle for the ball and, after being dragged away by his team-mates, he returned and kicked Bennett in the head. Bennett was knocked unconscious and had to be taken to hospital. Tampines lost the match 4-3. As a result of the incident, the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) Disciplinary Committee, banned Alam Shah from playing in all FAS-sanctioned domestic matches and tournaments for 12 months and fined him S$2,000.

Initially, it was thought that the ban would not prevent Alam Shah from playing at club-level outside Singapore, and he made arrangements to join PDRM FA of the Super League Malaysia. However in January 2008, the Football Association of Malaysia confirmed that under FIFA rules, member associations are required to respect domestic bans imposed by other associations, and therefore Alam Shah would not be eligible to play club-level football in Malaysia until his ban was completed.

On 29 April 2008, Alam Shah appeal successfully to reduce his ban from 12 months to 7 months by the FAS's Disciplinary Committee. Although his was ban was almost halved, he still missed out the remaining three games of Singapore's World Cup 2010 qualifing campaign.

Alam Shah joined PDRM FA upon completion of his ban in June 2008.

Alam Shah returned to Singapore to play for Tampines Rovers on 29 August 2008 in a S.League match against Gombak United. He score his first goal after his ban, against Balestier Khalsa, on 11 September 2008.

Arema Malang
Alam Shah joined Arema Malang in 2009, citing poor attendences at S.League matches led to poor motivation and FAS's requirement of passing the fitness test before being allowed to play in a match. One of the reasons given for leaving S.League was that he felt he was given unfair treatment of him by referees.

On 11 May 2010, Alam Shah was sent off after an on-pitch incident with Persela Lamongan's defender F.X. Yanuar. On the 70th minute, Alam Shah grabbed Yanuar from behind and Yanuar spinned around and knocked Alam Shah down. Both players were sent off. While leaving the pitch, Alam Shah lunged at the Persela players and had to be restrained by teammates and stewards. Arema won the match 2-1. Alam Shah was subsequently banned for one match.
