The original Chiang Mai is Blue

Chanthaburi's season; waiting for the call-up; his T2 team of the year.Since recording this episode on Thursday morning a social media post suggested that Tiago will join Trat next season - some more long distance commuting.If he does go to Trat let's hope he can bring the good times back to the club and can lead the challenge for at least a play-off place.Tiago is one of the good guys and we all wish him every success wherever he goes to next.Rob: I did Simon a disservice - both he and Phil had Tiago in their 2024/2025 teams of the season. Apologies to Simon.Tiago's T2 team of the season:GK: Noppakun Kadtoon - ChonburiNoppakun Kotchalayuk - MahasarakhamKwon DaeHee - ChonburiParinya Autapol - KanchanaburiChannon Tama - ChanthaburiEkkalarp Hanpanichkij - PhraeKitphom Bunsan - AyutthayaChannarong Promsrikaew - ChonburiMohamed Mara - KanchanaburiCaique Lemes - AyutthayaVander Luis - AyutthayaCoach: Jugkrit Siriwattanasart - Ayutthaya

Composed and calm, Coach Dusit leads Kanchanaburi into T1.Let the train take the strain...T3 champions league concludes with the four teams playing off for three promotion places over the next four weekends. A 3,200km round trip for a football match - anyone ?Apologies for our less than sublime sound this week - this show was produced by a beach and during happy hour!

Twilight zone: If Phrae win on Saturday who gets promoted to T1?Two days away from the final game in T2 and the three of us admit to confusion about what happens if Phrae win on Saturday.....that will be one win each, but aggregate scores and away goals will not decide the winner. And, boy do we sound confused......Simon has found a mascot for the podcast ! It is big and white.....Kanchanaburi win first leg of playoff final.A review of the penultimate weekend in T3. And why on earth has the Thai League scheduled the Chang FA Cup final, the t2 playoff final second leg and the T3 final round of games all for Saturday evening. Heads in the sand.

Two sent off at Phrae as 9 man Lampang crumble in last 15 minutesThe Mohamed Mara Show in Kanchanaburi - he was here - he was there - he was every.......where.Refereeing controversies in both gamesTwo formidable coaches with very different styles.....T3 update - and there needs to be a contest for how many times Simon says "Big White Cocks" in a one hour podcast.Spare a thought for Mahasarakham - promoted from T3 last season - and T2 playoffs this season.

Lampang and Phrae share 4 goals - and are all tied going into the second leg.Kanchanaburi and Mahasarakham share six goals - and are all tied going into the second leg.We wish Kei Sano a speedy recovery.The T3 Champions Leagues reach the half way stage. 3-3 at Lopburi v Mae Jo with two hat-tricks.Six teams promoted to T3 for next season.Phil's FA Cup review.

The T2 regular season wrapped up last weekend - and congratulations to Chonburi as Champions and Ayutthaya who are also promoted to T1.The playoffs for the third promotion spot start this weekend - Lampang play Phrae and Mahasarakham play Kanchanaburi. Take your pick from Big White Cocks, Purple Crabs, Fire Dragons and Emerald Chariots!The T3 Champions Leagues are still taking shape - Rasisalai, Khelang United and Samut Sakhon are early front-runners.Good to have Phil back from China!And thank you for listening!

The final weekend of the regular T2 season will decide:The league winnersThe second automatic promotion spotThe final playoff place and the order for 3rd to 6th to determine the playoff semi final ties.The final relegation place.Every one of the eight matches to be played at 6pm on Saturday has an impact on at least one of these questions.T3 Champions Leagues are now underway.Thonburi United are the BGC/Muang Thai Cup champions.Minutes Seo scores the second for Mae Jo.https://www.facebook.com/share/v/15MD7K4Qds/
