Thailand Gu-niangs should be punished by FIFA
-
Despite a Thai, I cannot agreed more if FIFA punished Thai team for unprofessional act. The referee (aka. Man of The Match) might have been wrong, but referee is always right in the game. Even the team has the right to let opponent win by not continue playing, it is immature to do so for protesting the rule -- referee is always right.
Anyway, some people here made me surprised. If I were Singaporean, I wouldn't be able to accept myself to feel proud for the victory that my country get it by the mistake of the referee.
However, I feel a little bit thankful for that referee. Thai people are somehow feel more patriot by that matter. -
Thailand deserves to drop by 3 goals behind according to fifa rule. It will be a joke if thailand wins the asean cup after doing such a thing.
But then again, anything can happen. Italy won the world cup despite being involved in a major bribe scandal. -
damn they are known for thier notorious leg power and tireless running to and fro power and they have become a bunch of famous ruffians with unsporting attitude...
Even i go Thailand with fren visit KTV pub the thai ktv ger there know how to behave themselves...
-
You play fair. Simple.
The thailand goal shldnt be allowed too, because there was a foul on a singaporean player on the buildup.
But we carried on playing. we didnt leave the field.
Laos got 11 from us and 9 from the vietnanese. BUt they played till the final whistle. They didnt leave. -
but hey, the ref's viewing at the field is different than that of live... u gonna tink abt dat.

Proving your patriotic feelings towards your nation by looking down on other nations and boycotting a regional sports event watched by paying spectators? That's not very right, you know?Originally posted by SiamesePatriot:Despite a Thai, I cannot agreed more if FIFA punished Thai team for unprofessional act. The referee (aka.

Yeah, we're proud of the victory because we worked hard for it. Thailand scored the equaliser with their first shot on target in the 2nd half against the run of play. And even that was a mistake made by Daniel Bennett because he played them onside by chasing after them. -
I have totally lost my respect for thai football. Even tho i supported the thais from 1990s to 2000s, I am utterly disgusted by their attitude and behaviour. I would rather support malaysia now even though i am singaporean.
-
So because Thailand is like that you now want to support Malaysia? Waht you mean SIngapore has always been your third choice?
-
lolx... not even third chioce i think.

As xiaomayi has reiterated in another thread 'Politics and Sports should not mix'. I think Siamese Patriot everyone here agrees that it was a soft penalty and as such a certain team won because of that penalty. As much as u feel pride in being Thai, similarly most of the forumites here being Singaporean will feel proud that their national team did achieve a victory over South-East Asia's power house in soccer. Put it this way Siamese Patriot, cast the politics aside, if the penalty has gone the other way, then who would be the one celebrating and who would be the one biting the dust? My point is that Soccer is game, governed by rules, the refree is the official who governs the rules. Hence, when a mistake like this is made, it is the failure of the rules which has lead to the outcome. In the professional leagues in Europe where millions upon billions are at stake, several voices have been calling for video-replays. However, UEFA and FIFA have been against this proposal because it defies 'tradition'. Hence, if anyone is to be blame for the result, blame the rules.
As I said, the reacton of the Thai players is unacceptable but understandable. I hope the forumites here and all back in Singapore understand this. Similarly, I hope all SiamesePatriot that you'll be convince that majority Singaporeans bear no disdain against Thais. Most Singaporeans treasure and understand how far back both nations go as joint founders of Asean and similarities and commonalities we share in the fight against terrorism and economic co-operation in line with the new global reality. Therefore, evermore, we as as Singaporeans or Thais, for both our mutual benefits should push for a long lasting friendship. At the end of the day, why let ourselves bear grudges for some political soap opera being played at the higher achalones of both countries. Let them play their games, while we cheer on the games that matter to us. May the best team win on sunday. Even if my Lions lose on Sunday, I'll still be proud of them. Even if your Thai team loses, I'm sure you'll be proud of them as well. Cheers! -

the only people that are creating news are those individuals reaping the benefits of nationalistic fervor.

If thailand wins the cup, i am going to stop watching ASEAN football and SEA soccer. Thailand does have a good chance of winning.
I am still gonna watch S-League and watch how singapore fare in Asian Cup and World cup qualifiers though. -
I wonder, if the referee awarded a penalty the other way, all this porks will say the same thing?
-
I would be protesting over the ref's decision...Originally posted by Singapork2:I wonder, if the referee awarded a penalty the other way, all this porks will say the same thing?
... but if the Lions were to stage a walkout, I would be the first to blast them.
Touch my heart. -
Thai should be punished.. Punished untill cannot move..

aaarhgghgagaga..u lot are thick skinned mouse ball rolling sporeans......go play your CM and get drunk watching EPL u wankers...
sure, the ref's word is final..
sure, the ref was kind enuff to not flash more cards for other obvious and serious infringements
sure, the thai lack sportsmanship and professionalism...
i dont deny all this...but the point in case after all this is "WE WON THE GAME", laud most of you "two left feeters", but did we win fairly?
Show some real attitude or as i have long suspect being a singaporean makes you devoid of having a spine?? when we win, sure of course, we follow the rule of the book and throw accusations of unsportsmanlike and unprofessional behaviour ...
you go and watch the game again and decide for yourself when our winger riduan lunge in for the tackle that got him the yellow card, is he playing the ball or is he maiming the leg of the opponent, or even best: dats how professional players lunge in for tackles arr??
and not to mention all the physical play...sighs...if wanna play physically also please get some professional help lah..and make it more subtle!
when u at least have played some competitive soccer den come and talk about the professionalism and sportsmanlike behaviour...the way some of you talk..even the senior members..appalling!!...man, my stomach turns and cringe and even make me ashamed to call you my fellow countryman...
as for me, i am truly ashamed that our team won the way they did and by the way they played in the whole competition... professional my foot, they were just lucky....
FAS need some serious review of the training and player selection...
peace...........? -

im extremly proud of the lions
not for their victory over the thais, but for their consistent fair play and sportsmanship throughout this tournament
upz for singapore -
True. They must be punished. -
You're talking cock here. Have you seen the Thai players diving all over the pitch? Most of those tackles you talk about are 50/50 challenges, commonly seen every week in the EPL. It's part and parcel of the game. Any infringement of those nature are known as "fouls" and could get the offensive player booked or even sent off.Originally posted by zaframo:aaarhgghgagaga..u lot are thick skinned mouse ball rolling sporeans......go play your CM and get drunk watching EPL u wankers...

The Thais didn't get sent off for any professional fouls - they simply boycotted the match. What was the fucking big deal about that penalty that they have to resort to such unprofessional and clownish behaviour? You don't see the England players walking off the pitch after Diego Maradona scored his infamous "Hand Of God" goal against England in World Cup 1986 quarter-final, do you? That's the fucking World Cup, you know?!
And for those of you who say SG players should tell the referee that "it was not a penalty" or refuse to take the penalty, the players involved too would face punishment for not respecting the referee's decision.
Sportsmanship? Was that sportsmanship when that Thai striker knocked Lionel Lewis out cold during that meaningless King's Cup match in order to shoot into an open goal? It's basic courtesy, but hey, he didn't even apologise for that.
Unsportsmanlike conduct/Ungentlemanly conduct (Thais):Unsportsmanlike conduct (or unsporting behaviour, or archaically ungentlemanly conduct) is a term used in most professional sports to refer to a particular player or team who have acted inappropriately and/or unprofessionally in the context of the game. Such behaviour is not necessarily illegal according to the sport in question's rules, but is frowned upon by the vast majority of both players and spectators. The term is distinct from cheating in that it also includes conduct meant to incite others.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsportsmanlike_conduct
Examples of unsportsmanlike conduct include taunting an opposition player, the referee or the crowd, spitting, arguing, fighting, and losing one's temper.

Its just a game. But singapore plays boring football.
