That controversial letter

Posted by redandwhitestripes , Reader : 1921 , 14:15:19

So I've finally had time to peruse that controversial letter from Sir Anthony Rumbold to his successor at the British Embassy in Bangkok, and what a remarkable letter it is!There are two particularly striking aspects of the letter. The first is its tone. If anybody ever asked me for an example of the stereotype English attitude and approach towards not only Thais but foreigners in general, I would sh....

Greg at the game - Muangthong United Vs BEC Tero

Posted by redandwhitestripes , Reader : 217 , 14:43:50

With a team that's already won the league and a team that has a cup final next week, perhaps it was too easy to guess the winner. Still, this was a tight game in more ways than one.As usual, I arrive way too early (I have to go to each home game straight from work) and wasted time walking around the stadium. I usually bump into more than one person I know but not today. There's a strange mixtu....

Greg at the game - Muangthong take a big step towards the title

Home fans quickly filled their own tiny allocation and many actually walked to the upper floors of the college itself, packing the place out and getting a free view. The numbers brought along by MTU were too many, and our stand actually had lots of people standing in the aisles, which would ....

Greg at the game - Muangthong United 1 Chonburi 1

Posted by redandwhitestripes , Reader : 291 , 18:16:43

Perhaps it was inevitable that a match so hyped didn't quite live up to its promise. Build up outside the ground was little different to usual. One anomaly was the obvious presence of fans who didn't support either team but just wanted to come to the big game. The strong police and security presence and the massive Chonburi support also stood out but all those groups were friendly. Aft....

Greg at the game: Muangthong victorious in intense encounter

Posted by redandwhitestripes , Reader : 2380 , 08:29:26

Not everyone was left standing on or off the pitch for this one. MTU took the lead after just seven minutes through Teerathep who finished neatly from a good cross.Youtube link - 1st goalIt seemed to be a cruise as Samutsongkhram were forced to push foreward, but as play evened out, Muangthong started to look a little complacent.
