Very ambitious team. They just got Nataporn Phanrit from Chonburi FC. Very big player since he is the left back of Thai Team.

Yes and I have heard that MTUFC is playing a good ball. All the best for you in the next season, and I hope you will enrich the TPL, but pls, don't be a second Hoffenheim ;-)

You were one of the better teams I saw last season - beating SriRacha 3-0 at Princess Srinthorn.
I have a feeling that you'll do well next year. It should be a very close league with Chonburi, BEC, MTUFC, Chula and PEA all expected to be challenging.

Thats a hell of a lot of players put together in one go.
By all accounts, the striker from Bangkok Bank, Anusorn Srichaluang will put fear into the defence, but i think we will have to wait a couple more years before we really see him perfoming.

Maybe he's just not answering because he doesn't want you to sign on? Besides, he probably reads this forum and has noticed that you was half hearted in your attempt to play for Bkk Uni and decided to play for Chula United. But when you was questioned about the training you have done, you didn't reply back. Now, i'm just wondering if you actually did any training or was it all half hearted again? |

From www.thaileaguefootball.comMuang Thong United have released details about their VIP boxes which are being built in the home ground, the Thunderdome. They are offering two grades of VIP boxes, one is 100 000 baht per season, the other is 70 000 baht. At the moment MTU are offering an "early bird" promotional rate of 80 000 for the 100 000baht boxes and 50 000 for the 70 000 baht boxes. Hmmm. Let's just hope that they've managed to build a decent enough safe stand to accomodate the few thousand Chonburi fans that will descend on their ground in early October. |

They are going to concrete that stand opposite the exisiting stand, aren't they? It's just been a metal frame for a couple of months now. |

The artists impression posted outside their ground looks very impressive. However, they are a long way from the reality.
I hope that they do finish the stand on the other side because, in its current state, it's not safe. When I went up for the MTUFC v Thailand friendly a few weeks ago some stewards were directing people to go over and sit on it. The pa announcer then advised people not to go and the police were sent across to move them. Eventually a few dozen people were left perched on the metal frame.

From the BKK Post.
Home challenge for Leesaw
Writer: TOR CHITTINAND
Teerathep "Leesaw" Winothai has returned to Thailand and will start for his new club Muang Thong United in the Thai Premier League this weekend.
The striker completed his move from Belgium's second division side K Lierse SK just five minutes before the Thai league's transfer deadline on July 21.
"Muang Thong United are a good team with many good players. It will be a challenge for me with my new club," said Teerathep who was in Belgium for only six months.
"I will try to bring back my confidence and form."
He said he returned to Thailand although he had one year left on his contract with the Belgian side because he wanted to play football instead of sitting on the bench.
"I was not happy with K Lierse SK. The coach gave me only a few chances to play. I want to play regularly as I am older now," said the 24-year-old national striker.
Teerathep said he still wanted to play in Europe, Japan or South Korea and his dream could become true only if he plays on a regular basis to sharpen his skill.

I thought that it was a loan deal but having read that, I'm guessing he's signed until the end of the season.

Looking at the Lierse website, Leesaw has a contract until 2010.
When you see the rest of the squad, then it probably answers to why he's not been playing.
There's some experienced players there including former Everton and Fulham striker Radzinski
Surely Leesaw didn't expect to break into the team straight away? Maybe he's just not use to fighting for his place?
I'm sure he will go back at the end of the TPL campaign, but he seriously has to look at his future.
It all use to be about Europe, but he can make a good living in Asia now - maybe focus on A-League, K-League or J-League?

Considering that Zico had failed to make it in Europe, and he probably was one of the best Thai Players ever, which Leesaw needs still to be proofed, I only can agree to your comments. A few weeks back I saw a vid clip on the Lierse SK website, with an interview of him. It was filmed right after his arrival in wintertime, and during the training camp. I liked his comments and attitude. He looked like he will fighting for his place in the team. But maybe it wasn't enough. So far as I remember, up to now, Mehmet Scholl, was one of the few players coming to Bayern Munich, and had been able to survive there for 15 years. He jopined the club in the age of 22 of age. During his 15 years, I saw a lot of young talented players come and go. But Mehmet, knewd how to survive and fight for his place. The example might far out of range for copmparision, but should simply underline my oppinion. Edit: Scholl called Bayern Munich once a Shark pool, or pool full of sharks.. no idea how to translate this.  |

It's a question of application. It takes an awful lot of effort and personal sacrifice to make it as a professional footballer.
I actually like Leesaw but you have to question whether or not he has a genuine desire to make it. It must be hard to go from being the top player in Thailand to being just another squad member of a lower league Belgian team during a harsh European winter. However, this is when you have to knuckle down to it and really prove that you want to succeed.
The alternative, is to take the easier option and return home to a fat paycheck and guaranteed football in a team near the top of the league.
As for Zico, he was at the wrong club at the wrong time. Now he's at the right club at the right time ; )

One plus point from all this is that Leesaw will now get games under his belt, which will be vital for the double header with Singapore.

It is strange. Where have they all come from? MTUFC have been very successful over the last couple of years - winning the 2nd Division and 1st Division - but no-one was interested; the stadium was virtually empty when SriRacha went there near the end of last year for a top of the table game. All of a sudden they are flavour of the month. I have a lot of respect for the club so it's nice to see them doing well but I've got a feeling that they are currently experiencing the "Chonburi Effect". A lot of people latched on to us when we started winning things and most have subsequently disappeared. I guess we all know where we can find them  |

From www.thaileaguefootball.comThe linesman who wrongly called offside against Muang Thong United player, Leesaw has been given a three month ban. If this report is accurate then it's absolutely friggin' ridiculous. FAT are completely and utterly clueless. Inept doesn't even cover it. Yes, he made a mistake, but a three month ban?!! I know I keep harping back to Pattaya getting away with fielding a suspended player and getting away with it but this just highlights what a rotten governing body we've got. They've got no idea. It would serve them right if ALL the officials went out on strike in protest at this decision. Who could blame them? |

This is my greatest fear for Thai football, that the national culture of corruption will creep into the game. As for the suspension of the linesman (I will always call them that), I guess it depends on the rationale. If the thinking behind it is: "This linesman is so poorly trained he doesn't even know that offside is called at the time the ball is played, not when the ball is received, we need to send him back to training right now!" then I support the move. If it is simply a face-saving measure to punish the guy, then it's wrong. It really was a terrible, terrible error, though. |

It was a bad decision but I've seen hundreds like it and no punishment has been meted out. There was an incident in a Chonburi match this season when a visiting striker was wrongly flagged offside when he was clear on goal and probably would have scored - if I trawl through my match reports, I could give you more details. There wasn't much of a protest and the game re-started with a free kick. There is no cause for banning a linesman (totally agree ) for making a mistake. Muang Thong have made a big deal out of it with the video on their site and now being reported as saying that the punishment is too lenient. He wrongly flagged someone offside ffs. What do they want? A public flogging in Impact Arena!!! |

Are Muang bringing the game into disrepute or whatever it's called? The very harsh ban has been handed out and shoudl be over and done with. In my opinion, decisions even themselves out of the year so just get on with it. It's ok to feel hard done by, but don't go about it the way they have. I liked Muang, still do,glory, glory , but this little episode kind of wants me to see them get beat fair and square. It's kind of like a Man United moment where you want to see them get beat and see how sulky they get. With regards to the banning incident, yes harsh, but with the response from FAT, it couldn't have come any quicker. If it was the English FA, we'd be waiting weeks on end for some response. With regards to the matter, did anyone recently see the goal that wasn't in the English championship i think?? Crystal Palace i think, were they scored and the ref gave a goal kick thinking it went wide. The FA stood by the official, and they should have done in this case aswell. Publicly back him up at least. We all know, the game moves fast nowadays, and you have to watch who kicked it and where the man was at the same time, i for one couldn't do it. I could watching slow motion reply, but live, in front of a big crowd, it's tough. |

Guys look at it from MT's point of view - that goal could cost them the Premiership title. I think they are entitled to make a fuss about it. The goal between Palace and Bristol City was disallowed because it bounced back off the stanchion so fast it was hard for the ref/linesman to see what had happened. In MT's case, it seemed the linesman didn't know offside is called when the ball is played, not received. That to me is shocking. However I suspect Sriracha Shark , with his greater experience in Thai footy, is going to tell me such moments are not as rare as I would hope |

It's not just in Thai football that these things happen. Officials, players, managers get it wrong in every game that is played all over the world. That's what makes football so great. The human error factor. Don't forget that MTUFC scored about a minute after this incident happened so has it really made that much difference? Also, one of the other great things about being a football fan is enjoying your rivals misfortune. It's not so pleasant when you're on the receiving end (as we all have been many times) but wonderful when it happens to others. Some think that the linesman deserved his punishment. I think that he should be awarded a medal the size of a friggin' cartwheel. |

Well yesterday we had nobody to blame but ourselves. First half was dull, second half a lot better but once again, we should have killed the game off and didn't.

Two points I want to make here, mister Shark, so I'll make it a two in one post
With regards to the linesman, yes we all make mistakes but there are different causes to them. Some mistakes are made by the speed of the game causing confusion, some are due to pressure, and so on. This mistake, however, looked to be caused by a truly shocking level of incompetence. I notice two things about the goal, firstly, the linesman was not level with the ball and secondly, he flagged at the time the striker received the pass which as I already mentioned, strike me as truly shocking ignorance of the offside rule. Therefore this is not a typical mistake that we love to say 'even themselves out over a season', it's something a lot more serious. It could cost us the TPL. 'm not saying the guy should be sacked or anything like that but he should be sent back for extra training and I support the right of MTU to make a fuss about it. Yes, they scored shortly after but in my opinion that is irrelevant.
Part two is your reference on the other forum to the sudden increase of MTU fans. I think you raise a fair point here. I detest bandwagon fans myself so while I cannot speak for anyone else, I wish to explain my own position: When I first discovered that the TPL had evolved into more than Sunday league footie with teams named after businesses, I initially planned to watch Bangkok United as I saw an advert for them in the Bangkok Post. A quick scan on Wikipedia showed there was a team in my province of Nonthaburi, at that time I though "They would be easier to get to". I had no knowledge of them whatsoever except their name and location. If they had been bottom of the league, I would probably still have supported them.
Perhaps the best way to show my non-glory hunting is to point out the team I support back home. Believe me, there is little glory in successive relegation, the chairman from hell and administration :-) Luckily, we have a new owner now.
Anyway, I look forward to learning more about both teams from you on Oct 4th.
