Buriram Back To Winning Ways At Saraburi

Buriram came away with a 2-1 victory over Saraburi to move two points clear at the top of the league. After an uninspired first half, two goals in as many minutes just before the interval put Buriram firmly in control and they strolled through the second-half, despite a nervy last few minutes when Saraburi pulled…

Information Regarding Obtaining Or Renewing Thai Retirement Visa

I have just returned from Kap Cheung Immigration where I went to renew my retirement visa. The process was not as straight forward as last time as I was informed that new regulations are now in force. Before I continue, I must stress that all the staff were friendly, helpful and they certainly were not…

Is The Football Referee’s Job Becoming Almost Impossible?

As the dust settles on events at Thunder Castle, perhaps it is time to reflect on proceedings on Wednesday night and also the problems facing officials all over the world but particularly in Thailand. I have been critical of referees here but maybe we should examine the reasons why their performances are sometimes below par….

Buriram Held By Tough Tackling Glass As Game Ends In Controversey

Buriram were held to a goalless draw by a Bangkok Glass side who pushed the rules to the extreme in their attempt to avoid defeat. They showed little interest in winning the game and made sure that Buriram could not get into any attacking rhythm with a string of fouls in all areas of the…

Sittichok Strike Maintains Buriram’s Unbeaten Record

Buriram had to dig deep to rescue a point at Korat (easier than Nakhon Ratchisima) to come away with a 1-1 draw. It was not a fluent performance against their “local” rivals but probably a fair result despite Buriram hitting the woodwork twice. Buriram were without Tunez, still feeling the effects of his knock last…

A Visit To Del Boy’s Fish & Chips Café

When I first walked into De Del Boys Fish and Chip café I suddenly had the feeling of deja vu. I was taken back to a time when I used to frequent such establishments in London’s East End when on an early morning start or on my way home from an all-nighter. It has the…

Buriram Golf Society Make American Independence Day Go With a Bang!

On Friday July 3rd, the Buriram Golf Society held a Texas Scramble to celebrate American Independence Day. A number of our former colonial “friends” have been prominent supporters of previous events so we thought it appropiate to honour their big day. On this occasion it was to be a shotgun start (hence the bang, though…

Buriram Ease Past Stubborn Osotspa With A 2-1 Victory

Buriram made hard work of seeing off Osotspa in a game that was littered by too many free-kicks. Along with an over-fussy referee, the game had no flow and Buriram just couldn’t get into their stride. It took a Tunez penalty just before the interval and a late Macena strike to finally secure the three…

Stroll For Buriram In The League Cup

Buriram had an easy passage into the third round of the League Cup at first division Ang Thong. The home side held their own for half an hour but three goals in ten minutes finished the game as a contest before half time. Buriram made several changes, giving some of the regular substitutes a game…
