"Were we cheated?" the PM asked reporters yesterday. He had missed the match broadcast from Singapore on Wednesday night....
The joke going around the Thai team is that their game plan might have been "discovered" by their opponents prior to the match.
After all, how come the Singaporeans knew that Thai star Kiatisak Senamuang would be absent from the game? And how did the Singaporeans players know just to mark Thai midfielder Dassakorn Thonglao, who became the most frequently fouled play by his opponents? Mmm ......
Well, the loss was not entirely attributed to Malaysian referee C Ravichandran's decision to award that hotly disputed penalty to Singapore with just nine minutes remaining.
Was the referee, like Dr Mahathir Mohamad, the former Malaysian leader, just trying to drive a wedge further between Thailand and Singapore, knowing the penalty would drive us nuts?
A more deserving question may be how the Singaporeans managed to respond so well to our game plan.

Thawatchai Sajjakul, manager of the Thai national team, said it was dangerous for his team to play in Singapore where gambling is involved in football matches.
''A lot of money had been bet on this match,'' he said.

Lucky,there are some cool heads in Thailand--Commentary: Playing the nationalist card
By Atiya Achakulwisut, Editorial Pages Editor
In case one has forgotten: the torching of the Thai Embassy and business premises in Phnom Penh in January 2003 was triggered by nothing but false newspaper reports that a Thai actress had insulted Cambodia by saying the country's famed Angkor temples belonged to Thailand.
May be he is sending a warning that if crowd get out of hand,
Thailand embassy in the above quote may be changed to Singapore
embassy!!So sad.
