Shame on u, Thailand.. (Sport Editor, 2007)

It is as if this tournament is somehow cursed that it must feature football teams that take on the persona of village sides..

In 1998.. Thailand and Indonesia tried their best to lose when they took each other on hoping for an easier tie in the semi-final..

In 2005.. Some in the Myanmar team dressed up as thugs at the National Stadium as they hacked SG players down one after another.. And soon someone on the bench turned a bottle into a missle that threatened to knock S.Subramani out..

This time round.. Thailand once again took the ugly spotlight.. Holding up play for 15 mins.. Threatening to walk out after referee Ravichandra awarded a hotly disputed penalty to the Lions in the dying mins of the first league of Asean final..

This Asean final is reali dramatic.. First I feel that the Lions in the first half is extremely rough.. Which I agree.. But the Thais are on spar since they also gd actors.. Freaking know how to act in groaning and moaning of their pain.. One even dropped to the ground suddenly when no one is touching him.. Machiam his name is written in Deathnote.. And kena a heart attack..

Lions score one goal in scramble egg.. While the Thais equalized with another goal which I feel is offside.. I duno what the linesman thinking also.. And the controversial penalty juz made the atmosphere becuming tenser..

And someone is arguing that the Thais are not sore loser against me (Not as if I'm the one started arguing).. Well if they aren't why they protested and refused to continue the game.. Must make it until the match commissioner cum out and beg them to return to game.. Yes the referee's decision might be harsh.. And Alam Shah might not necessary be pulled down by his jersey.. But decisions made in matches are absolute firm and final.. Protesting like that made them looks childish.. I also dun wanna argue with her.. She herself is qualified referee in another sport.. She should know the role of referee well.. U urself should know by ur heart that decisions made are final.. We can't say anything abt the decision made by the M'sian referee Ravichandran cuz we are NOT professional FIFA referees by the way.. I'm not standing on the Lions' side juz becuz I'm frm SG.. I'm alrite with them arguing with the referee abt the decision.. But for goodness sake dun be childish and throw tantrums like a child.. Show some professionalism pls.. At least respect our respectable President Nathan who was there watching this final..

By the way.. To me sore losers is defined as players who lose their professionalism and sportsmanship in games they played.. Whether it's gaming or sports.. I myself played in many sports.. Even when my team loses to another team in match esp when it's final.. We dun lose our cool juz becuz we freaking lost to others.. Losing is not shameful afterall.. So what if we lost? Juz bucked up and trained harder.. Simple as reading ABC.. There's no need to make a mole out of a mountain unnecessary..

Five big acts to prove that the Thais definitely breached the gate of professional.. First of all.. They shouldn't surround referee Ravichandran as if they are juz some freaking gangsters.. Secondly.. They shouldn't trooped off the pitch under the instructions of their coach Chanvit Polcheevin.. Thirdly.. They shouldn't threaten to abandon the match before a capacity of 55,000 crowd at the stadium which included our President SR Nathan and several members of Cabinet.. Fourth.. This is a cup final match.. If players are to walk off the field every time a decision goes against them.. Den many games will be called off before 90 mins of play.. Last of all.. This is the act which I can't accept.. How can a coach encouraged his players to troop off? He dun deserve to be a coach at all.. I always tot that coaches are always the most sensible and the one that can control their anger and emotions against all sort of storms.. If that the case.. I guess Chanvit Polcheevin is not much different from Mourinho either..

Even the papers said in an indirect manner that the Thais are sore losers.. No doubt as replay suggested Ravichandran could well have been wrong.. But in this day and age surely Thailand had to know better.. While they might have felt robbed.. Sportsmanship had to prevail in the end.. Otherwise farce will rear its head over the world in every match for officials make mistakes all the time..

Coaxed tirelessly by tournament officials.. Even their manager Thavatchai Sajakul were all powerless to get the coach and players to do the rite thing and get their asses back onto the pitch.. It was as if they didn't care for the image of the game.. These footballers and this coach.. It was as if they didn't care that South East Asia would once again becum the laughing stock of the world..

Even though the Thais did take to the field in the end.. But the damage had alreadi been done.. Discipline must be instilled first if South East Asian football is serious abt moving up the football ladder..

Professional behaviour among all footballers must be the mantra.. And above all.. Players from all sports must believe that in the hottest of cauldrons.. Sporting behaviour is even more beautiful than the game..

I know I can't touch ur heart now..
So it doesn't matter which kind of luv if I can stay with ya..
Cuz I knw the separated ones go beyond time & space & get together..
Becuz of ya, I will keep waiting becuz of ya..
This is the tot that fills my heart now..
I will always like & luv ya..
