Maybe a bit late, but to the "บางกอก"/"แบงค็อก" thing, its nearly like BGB posted before:

บางกอก - BAANG GOG is the old thai name of Bangkok (now Krungthep) and it means something like Settlement (BAANG) and Olive (GOG), a thai friend told me once, thats because they had a lot of olives decades ago in this area.

แบงค็อก - BANG KOK is the international name of Krungthep/Bangkok how we call it in english.


So I guess the way was บางกอก was transcriptet into BANGKOK which sounds in english like แบงค็อก.

I think half of the matches will be on saturday and the other half on sunday.

nice picture:

I know, it's hard to plan things in Thailand, but maybe FAT & TPL can have a look at this calendar:

http://static.bundesliga.de/media/native/autosync/rahmenterminkalender2011-2012.pdf

This is the calendar for the next season starting in August next year where you can see all matches in the leagues (1+2), in the cup, international and also the A-Nationalteam and the U21-Nationalteam.

Not in my hands, but Till and I already have one.

Start a new thread... "Why the Anti Buriram Car Park?"

The topic of this thread is still "FA Cup", can we please move the actual discussion to one of the other existing threads?

The 2 Play Odd Groups:

Group A: Sisaket, Airforce, Nakhon Pathom
Group B: Bangkok United, Songkla, Army

Ayutthaya

Who is interested, here a interview with Mitch Langerak:

Part 1: http://www.schwatzgelb.de/2010_10_13-interviews_mitch_langerak_interview_part_i.html

Part 2: http://www.schwatzgelb.de/2010_10_14-interviews_mitch_langerak_part_ii.html

i just made the draw:

BU
Songkla
Airforce

Sisaket
Army
Nakhon Pathom

fair move from mtu to let the poor buriram save travelling costs and let them play in the closer srisaket

As wolfman already wrote in another thread: Anucha from PTU will move to Chonburi next season.

It would be nice if Thailand would have 1 ACL spot and 2 AFC Cup spots. ACL for the TPL Winner and each 1 Spot in the AFC Cup for the Cup Winner and the TPL runners up.

Would be interesting how the decision would be if Buriram would be in the final against Mueang Thong and Chonburi were the runners up in the league...

I would really welcome a foreign referee!

If you want to see BG, try to get a ticket for the guest sector and just ask:
Kao dai mai hi? (เข้าได้ไหมฮิ)

Should be no problem then.

Agree with that 100%, they should announce before the season starts that the winner of the TPL and Chonburi FC will get the AFC spot

I think you are right.



Tatatata... http://www.siamsport.co.th/Sport_Football/101101_252.html

In the last article they wrote now, that it is not clear who will go to the AFC Cup in case MT will win the FA Cup.

Just saw the article. The fines are 133.000 THB and 100.000 THB. A million would be quite a lot ...

But punishment like this is not the way to solve the problems!

It would be much better if they had punished the teams to invest the 1.000.000 THB in social fan work.

how to make it looking good in tv....

i will not wonder if there will be a group dressed with buriram shirts... after the final whistle someone will tell them that buriram didn't played.

in the german cupfinal they always sell 1/3 of the tickets direct to the fans of each club and the last 1/3 to sponsors and other fans ...

absolutely agree with that



This article says:

CHONBURI will play AFC Cup next year!

also a lot of thai port supporters said they will come to support chonburi

Its Football Siam TV, if you have True Online you can register and watch it here: http://58.97.57.146/video/index.php

Finally, I could boycott all Chonburi Thai League Cup Matches for myself ...

At he 7 eleven counter today i just wanted to buy 2 tickets for 50 THB, but only got the last one. From the 80 THB Tickets there were just 500 left.

Will be very different on Sunday. Hopefully everything will be peaceful.

just saw that they only sold half of the contingent at seven, the other half at the stadium on sunday

Actual the 50 THB Tickets for Chonburi at 7eleven are sold out.

I have the bad feeling that a lot of them were bought in North Eastern Thailand ... :/

did they sing their burirum songs?

complete unintelligible for me. i often talked to some thai people who really like to wear shirts of a team that is not playing. maybe its their culture. if the thai national team would play in chiang mai, maybe some people would wear a chiang mai shirt, if they would play in chonburi, sure some people (maybe more then some) would wear a chonburi shirt, but why a big group have to wear burirum shirts in bangkok? if this would be leeds united and not leicester city, would they also be there?

TOT vs. Burirum 
Srisaket vs. Muang Thong         
PTT Rayong vs. M150
Thai Honda vs. Pattaya/Chiang Rai
Sriracha vs. Navi Rayong
Nongkhai vs. Chonburi/BG
RBAC vs. BU
Samut Songkram vs. Thaiport

This would mean

Matchday 29: M150 vs Chonburi & PEA vs. Police

Matchday 30: Chonburi vs. PEA & Police vs. M150

?

To comment this fantastic idea with one repeating number in thai: 555

A couple of interesting matches. I am sure my girlfriend will hate me, cause I told her, that "my" season will be finished end of October ... Even on the last days with my "favorietes" play against each other. Poor me, I will be in Germany that time.

Rayong vs. Muang Thong/Nonthaburi

Thai Army vs. Chonburi

//
When I got it right Muang Thong will meet Nonthaburi on 27. October, the Semifinals will be on 30. October and the Final will be played on 29. November.

I would like to see Saraburi, Chiang Mai, Samut Prakan and Phuket.

perfect, thank you. so i don't have to wait for it today

Is the draw still today or did they also postponed it because of the MTU/Raj Match?

i jst found that the mini league will start at 16. october and the schedule will be out end of this month

is there somewhere a schedule for the mini leagues?

my wish for the semi:

chonburi - rayong
army - mtu

maybe to malaysia-thailand on saturday.

I still hate midweek games. Can't do it today.

The difference is that the other groups react to the match. Sometimes they sing louder, sometimes they stop singing, sometimes they swear and sometimes they dance, but it's relative to the match. It's a big up and down all 90 minutes long.

Buriram is nice, looks good, but it's monotonic and has nothing to do with the match. Watch Buriam lose against Thai Army and watch them win against Muang Thong, the crwod will do the same performance.

I was there too. I must say I love a loud and cheerful crowd, but Buriram looks more like a dancing squad.

Even in the last minutes, most of the Thai Port fans went crazy,  Buriram (3rd) against Thai Port (4th) a very hectic match and the score was still 0:0. I would shout and go crazy but the last thing I would do in that moment is to perform a studied clap and dance choreography.

Very good!

Hopefully

1. Match: 1 Goal
2. Match: 2 Goals
3. Match: Should be 3 goals then.

After that he can stop scoring.

Top 3 stadium for me right now
1. Thai Port
2. Muang Thong
...
...
...
3. Bangkok Glass

Hopefully BG will get a 4th stand soon. What I like (and don't also like) is that every stand is much diffent. But I really love the big home stand.

Muang Thong and Thai Port are number 1 and 2, Maybe the Muang Thongstadium itself is a bit better, but the surraounding of the PAT Stadiums makes it to be the number 1 for me.

I agree with Dale. Had a very good time there and I am really sad that we didn't stayed for one night there. Hope they can do it ...
