The Asian Football Confederation seem very often to be the proverbial paper tiger. Lot's of tough
talk rarely equates to any tough decisions or action being taken.
They are very adept at ensuring some regulations are followed strictly to the letter while happy to
shut their eyes to more serious misdemeanours.
The quarter-final, first leg ties in the AFC Cup, Asian football's second-tier competition, were
played today.
The first match of the day saw Iraqi side Arbil Sports Club take a crucial 2-1 lead from
Indonesian outfit Persipura Jayapura who had home advantage today but didn't make the most of
it.

Not a good night for the region's teams in the AFC Cup with three defeats and one goal scored.
Persipura, all conquering at home, must fly to Iraq and win by at least two clear goals as must
Chonburi.
It's been reported in Thailand that Muang Thong United and their coach Henrique Calisto have parted
ways. Which is fair enough when you consider the back to back champions haven't won a Thai Premier
League game since August 20th when they beat TOT 3-1. Indeed their last home win was 10 August when
they thumped Bangkok Glass 6-2.
