Well saidOriginally posted by Claypot Rice:The referee's decision is FINAL. Thailand are sore losers, walking away from the pitch when a decision goes against them. Weren't they the same disgraceful team which featured a bunch of flamboyant strikers trying to stop an Indonesia defender from scoring an own goal during Tiger Cup 1998? Now they did it again.
Singapore should have been awarded a penalty earlier but were denied. You don't see SG players boycotting the match, do you?
The referee should have abandoned the match just now, award Singapore a default 2-0 win, and report the incident to FIFA. What a disgrace. FAS should report this matter to FIFA and ask for sanctions to be imposed on Thailand's FA.

Trip ? It was never a foul. What trip ? I have seen the replay many times, it's a poor decision from the referee. Thai players has the right to be outraged but what they have done is outraged, disgrace to their country.Originally posted by gigabyte14:i'll tell u wat dey do, i was in the kallang stadium.
alam shah was tripped inside the penalty box by the thais, and ref awards a penalty.
thais became sore and walk away, leaving the game behind.
but in the end dey played anyway and sg won 2-1.
hope they trash the boots out of them in the 2nd leg in thai.
sadly i cant go to support them there.
I'm afraid that is no excuse. If they want to politicise it, then it's their problem.Originally posted by Quincey:Put yourself in the shoes of those Thai boys. Simple boys from simple humble backgrounds. Here they are facing an opponent from a nation that they have been made to believe are screwing up their country. It is soccer, it is a patriotic game. When you lose in such a manner as they did, you obviously feel that you've been cheated, that destiny has done it again. I understand their reaction, and hope that they wil give our boys a hell of a game in Thailand.

The score should have been 1-1 . Period. Singapore was lucky to get the penalty. This is simply part and parcel of football. Even EPL has similar cases like this.
Sports is sports. Politics is politics. They shouldn't mix both together.Originally posted by Quincey:Put yourself in the shoes of those Thai boys. Simple boys from simple humble backgrounds.
