131: Desperados, Hardcore, and Students

About this episode

Dale and Chris discuss Thailand's recent football matches and upcoming events in the league and Asian Cup.

Chris joins Dale to talk about Thailand's 2-1 midweek win against Turkmenistan, the joys of watching the national team, and his hopes for the Asian Cup in January and February. He also previews Port's upcoming League Cup semi final tie against Chonburi, and shares his thoughts on the Klong Toei club's season so far. Rob, with assistance from John, and Martin Peters (!), reports from Chiang Mai Utd's T2 clash with champions Rasisalai Utd, while Riza, Robert, and Bomb are on hand to give their thoughts on the top flight encounter between Ratchaburi and, champions elect, Buriram Utd. Futera Utd fan, Blue, drops in to summarise his club's historic first season in T3, the controversial decisions that have followed them around, and what they'll do better next year. Then the jet-setting Mr Bernard closes the show by flying down from the far north to visit a new ground and report on the Thonburi League Zone D match, Old Blood v CNT Annubis. That's dedication for you! Theme Tune: 'Lip Splint' by American TV Cops Photo: Marco The Thai Adventures of Rob B! YouTube link Endless Journey YouTube link Thonburi League Official Website
