Last week's Thai FA Cup final between Thai Port and BEC Tero marked a watershed in Thai football. It brought together the new look TPL, rebranded and emphasizing community, against the old style Thai football. Corporate with no community backing.
BEC Tero are backed by a Thai TV station and have had their moment of glory in the recent past but even a commercial tie up with the Arsenal isn't enough to pull in the punters. Click to continue reading...

Last weekend the story in south east Asian football was the Muang Thong United v Chonburi game no question about it and I was lucky enough to get to cover it.
This weekend the story is Arema v Persija with the four Singaporeans on show. So what the bloody hell am I doing in Singapore, taking in a meaningless Malaysia Cup tie? Click to continue reading...

Christ...where to begin.
Sunday morning I was down the Thai Port shop checking out a couple of things. Even at the relatively early time of 10 am there were people hanging around and buying things. They were due to play PEA that same day but I had to be elsewhere.
Muang Thong Thani is pretty new I think. Click to continue reading...

Just had the weekend in Bangkok and very happy to return to Jakarta for a rest. Spoke to Chonburi and Thai keeper Kosin about his forthcoming move to Persib as well as Japan and, well let's just say everything is not fully done and dusted. The full interview will be on Jakarta Casual TV later on.
It is being reported locally that Persib hope that Kosin will be in town later this week for the official club launching. Click to continue reading...

It started with a bang, got mired in controversy and then just kind of fizzled out amid a flurry of cards and whistles as the referee imposed himself more and more.
In many respects this game was more than just a title decider. It was a barometer of just how far the Thai Premier League has progressed over this season. Click to continue reading...

Announced by the United on September 28, 2009 that the tickets for Super big match between Muangthong United and Chonburi F.C. on Sunday October 4, are left to the quota selling on the match day only.
This was due to the football fans purchasing their tickets ahead of schedule.After the announcement last week in order to push the football fans to purchase their ticket in advance for Samutsongkram match together with the 5 days ticket selling in advance, United announced that the tickets selling prior to schedule were sold out .

Chonburi v Binh Duong 2-2
The visiting Vietnamese took the lead last night at Rajamangala but Pibob equalised on 20 only for the visitors to take the lead four minutes later in a busy first half.

A tense race at the top of the TPL yesterday saw Chonburi drop vital points away to Bangkok United. Muang Thong United won narrowly against Bangkok Glass days after the Glass Rabbits, maybe sounds better in Thai, won through to the semi finals of the Singapore Cup. Click to continue reading...

I gotta say the English are a funny bunch. When they're not getting shitfaced and vomitting in people's front gardens they have a wierd and wonderful collection of interests. They travel miles round the country to stand on wet and windy railway platforms to make note of railway engine numbers. They dress up in period costumes and re enact historic battles. Click to continue reading...

Persisam Samarinda, nicknamed the Borneo Eagles, have expressed an interest in Chonburi's international keeper Kosin Hathairattanakool.
The newly promoted side already have former Persita keeper Wawan Darmawan plus a couple of others but coach Aji Santoso is keen to bring in one more.
I would humbly suggest however Persisam do some homework about Thailand. Click to continue reading...

The Thai league returns this weekend with some cracking fixtures gromit including an all ticket affair between Thai Port and Muang Thong United in Klong Toey. By all ticket I mean tckets go on advanced sale several days ahead of the game.
I've never heard of this happening at Indonesian league games, and definitely not in Singapore, and is probably more a reflection of the inadequacies of PAT Stadium rather than booming interest in the TPL. Click to continue reading...

Persisam are rapidly turning into the Manchester City of Indonesia. Flush with cash they are busy linking themselves with anyone and everyone.
This story links them with Thai pair Datsakorn and Teerasil even quoting one club official as suggesting paying Teerasil an unprecedented 500,000 USD a year. Click to continue reading...

Couple of surprises yesterday on a day that could have seen MuangThong United go clear. But they didn't. Instead, with Bangkok Glass playing today the unbeaten leaders were joined at the top by Osotsapa abd Chonburi who reverted to winning ways thanks to a brace by Kone. Click to continue reading...

It's been a while since PSMS players haven't lived out of a suitcase. Recent weeks have seen them take on Sriwijaya somewhere in East Java then head east to Persipura then south to Persiwa.
Next they head north again to Jayapura where they take on newly crowned champions Persipura in their Copa Indonesia quarter final 2nd leg which they trail 2-0. Click to continue reading...

So it goes down to the wire. Persib and Persiwa are neck and neck for second spot in the ISL with Persib having the slightly better goal difference. Wednesday sees the final round of fixtures and Persiwa are at home to PSMS as they seek to maintain their 100% home record. Sixteen games, 16 wins.
PSMS on the other hand need the points to crawl away from that dreaded relegation play off spot. Click to continue reading...

If the residents of central Bangkok were troubled by a bad smell around late afternoon on Saturday, it must have been the stink created by the first half of this match. It was a shocker!!
Chula are a poor, poor team and, on this occasion, Chonburi were worse. The visitors started nervously, suggesting that the 5 goal battering they suffered last week had done more than just damage their goal difference. Click to continue reading...
