"Quilins.....chai yooo......"
I forgot to mention another bright point from Sunday's game: we now have the best entry music in football history. Our players walk out to "Sweet Child o'Mine" by Guns N Roses.

We were scheduled to face Sriracha tomorrow but the game has been postponed in a bizarre way. The motivation on both sides should be clear. Sriracha players want to catch us when our tails are down, we want a chance to allow our best players to get fit and sort ourselves out.

Here follows a Twitter exchange (in the usual timeline format) that nicely sums up that way the TPL can work at times and how different people feel about it. Douglas Cobo is a Sriracha player, as is Diego (I think). It should be noted the game discussed is our league clash with Sriracha, not the equivelent FA Cup fixture.

So it's easier to move a match at 30 hrs notice than one in 4 days time, for which no-one was available to referee a couple of days ago?

MTU have already postponed tomorrow's game on website. Sri Racha players are tweeting new date in January

Muang Thong & Sri Racha seem to have made a decision without waiting for TPL blessing. Who's running the show here? http://t.co/GArtrRMM

  1. One of my favourite TPL experiences (still) is turning up at Yamaha and hearing "Muang Thong United" to the tune of Twisted Sister's "We're not gonna take it" blaring outside the ground.

  2. A few years ago at Nong Jork, we were treated to the Summer Holiday soundtrack in its entirety before a BEC Tero v Chonburi match. Brilliant!
