<br />
Renewal of Wellington Phoenix FC’s license in the Hyundai A-League was approved by FIFA until 2016. AFC acknowledged the extension of Wellington Phoenix FC’s license and its participation in Australia Competitions. As FIFA/AFC/OFC agreement, clubs from Australia will be dealt with like it is now.<br />
<br />
<b>Only Australian clubs can participate in ACL and highest placed eligible clubs will take ACL spots reserved for clubs from A-League in case Wellington Phoenix FC wins the first, second position in the A-League, or wins the cup tournament.</b><br />
<br />
<b>UAE Football Association</b><br />
<br />
The UAE Football Association enquired about the possibility of Emirates FC – the winners of the 2010 knock-out championship to participate in ACL 2011, after its relegation from the UAE Professional League (first division) to the second division.<br />
<br />
<b>The members recommended that AFC should stick to the criteria and regulations which are already in place. AFC allows participation of Emirates FC in ACL 2011 if it meets all ACL Club Criteria, otherwise the highest placed eligible club in UAE Professional League will take ACL spot.</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Korea Football Association</b><br />
<br />
Gwangju Sangmu FC (Army club) is currently participating in the K-League. Gwangiu Sangmu FC is not a commercial entity and its players are not under professional contract. So it is not professional club.<br />
<br />
<b>More discussions with the KFA were recommended. For the time being there should be no change in Korea’s quota in the ACL. Bin Hammam emphasised that from next year the ACL would feature clubs from only those leagues, which are full professional.</b><br />

<br />
Probably as expected bar the Police - Muang game. Points dropped certainly. This takes the majorty of teams to the mid season mark now. Only Chonburi - BEC and Bkk Utd - Siskaet left to reach 15 games. Chonburi could pull level at the top once again. It's like a game of cat and mouse.druryfirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00776028496882357244noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214736625310334682.post-33767031310532792062010-07-08T20:47:00.000+01:002010-07-08T20:47:05.725+01:00FA Cup Results - 7th July<strong>Rajnavy Rayong 1:0 Bangkok Glass</strong> <br />
I guess you could call this result as a slight shock. Two TPL teams going head to head, but both with different asperations. The Navy to survive relegation and the Glass Rabbits to secure the TPL title. BKK Glass won't of course win the league now. But this result will probably hurt more so. After a good pre-season, it seems that mid season has ended all the postive outlooks they had this year.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Chonburi 1:0 Samut Sakhon</strong> <br />
It's always tought to call these types of matches. Chonburi have bigger things to aim for in Thai football, so as expected, changes were made. Samut Sakhon seem a decent outfit at RL level in their 1st ever season. They should take confidence from this result to push on in their league campaign. Chonburi on the other hand might have seen this game as a chance to rest players or a slight inconvience to the league campaign. Future rounds will tell.<br />

PTT, the form team, destroying everyone left, right and centre. It was just poor old RBAC's turn today.<br />
<br />
<strong>04.07.2010 Prachinburi 2:3 Nakhon Pathom</strong><br />
Nakhon are starting to turn them draws into wins. More like this and promotion will be achieved<br />
<br />
<strong>03.07.2010 Air Force United 5:0 Suphanburi </strong><br />
Air Force have had a stutter, but this victory puts them back on top. I fully expect they will achieve promotion this year. Suphanburi look to be heading for RL football.<br />
<br />
<strong>03.07.2010 Chanthaburi 3:0 Chula United</strong> <br />
Just when Chula started to get some form together, they stutter. The slim promotion chances they had coming into this matchup have suffered somewhat<br />
<br />
<strong>03.07.2010 Chiangrai United 0:2 Suvarnabhumi Customs</strong> <br />
A decent result for Customs playing away in Chiangrai. Not many promotion chasing teams will get the 3 points there. This weekend has shown that they will be there or there abouts. The current top three can't take the foot of the pedal<br />
<br />
<strong>03.07.2010 Khonkaen 2:0 Raj Pracha-Nonthaburi</strong> <br />
A result need to keep KK ticking over. To achieve promotion, they need to win games like this, and they did it.druryfirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00776028496882357244noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214736625310334682.post-52823363658297238392010-07-04T14:48:00.000+01:002010-07-04T14:48:42.925+01:00TPL Results - 03/04 July 2010<strong>04.07.2010 BEC Tero Sasana 2:2 TTM Phichit</strong> <br />
Two teams yet to get going in the TPL this year. Both good enough to avoid the drop. In my opinion, they both need to be looking to build for next season and have a push to enter the big four.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>04.07.2010 Chonburi 0:0 Osotspa Saraburi</strong> <br />
I've always seen Osotspa as a tricky team for the big boys. And they have found form in recent weeks so it's not a surprise that they can pull out a resutl like this. Chonburi on the other hand will see this as points dropped<br />
<br />
<strong>04.07.2010 Rajnavy Rayong 2:1 Royal Thai Army</strong> <br />
Possibly the biggest match of the weekend. Two sides in big trouble. The Navy manage to keep a bit of distance from the drop zone with this result. The Army do look like they are heading straight back down.<br />
<br />
<strong>04.07.2010 Samut Songkhram 0:2 Bangkok United</strong> <br />
Massive 3 points for Bkk today. It keep them within distance of the sides just above the drop zone. Samut can't relax just yet. More results like this and they will b sucked in.<br />
<br />
<strong>03.07.2010 Muang Thong United 4:0 TOT</strong> <br />
Was this the big weekend derby game in Thailand? Greg over on the Muang blog will tell you not. It does appear that Muang have hit a bit of form. They went through a bad little spell but have now come out on top at the midway stage of the TPL. Can they defend their championship? On this form, yes.<br />
<br />
<strong>03.07.2010 Police United 1:1 Buriram PEA</strong> <br />
Not surprised to see PEA drop points in this game. It has just proved that the TPL is a two horse race this year.<br />
<br />
<strong>03.07.2010 Thai Port 2:1 Bangkok Glass</strong><br />
TP have hit some form. After a poor start to the season, the top four does now look a dead cert. Bkk Glass again fail to deliver. Just when you thought they had turned a corner.<br />
<br />
<strong>03.07.2010 Sisaket 1:1 Pattaya United</strong> <br />
Sisaket are picking up points, but they do need to start turning them into 3 points on a more regular basis. I do feel that their home form is key in keeping them in the TPL. Pattaya, after a good season so far, will see this as points dropped.druryfirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00776028496882357244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214736625310334682.post-75407521630784635202010-06-23T13:30:00.002+01:002010-06-23T13:50:00.657+01:00Next up.....

<br />
1. Qualification for World Cup 2014<br />
2. Setup up a National Reserve Team<br />
<br />
Well, point one is still open, can they do it? Not when they can't score.<br />
<br />
Point two, set up a National Reserve Team. At the time I didn't understand this point as we simply didn't have a good enough first team to begin with, never mind finding another 11 players to feel a B squad.<br />
<br />
But this was all coming off the back of Thailand destroying Nepal 7-0 if I remember corerctly. Suddenly FAT thought they were world beaters and wanted to create two strong teams.<br />
<br />
This never got off the ground. Objective never met. FAT never stick to there guns. Can they prove me wrong and stick to the 2014 world cup qualification?druryfirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00776028496882357244noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214736625310334682.post-48382725991500943562010-05-31T12:27:00.001+01:002010-05-31T12:28:32.293+01:00Most recent Thai Squad Selection<strong>No. Pos.

SAFFC on the other hand have met Thai oppostion on 5 occasions:<br /><br />1999-2000 Asian Club Championship: SAFFC 1:1 Sinthana<br />1999-2000 Asian Club Championship: Sinthana 2:1 SAFFC<br />2001-02 Asian Club Championship: BEC 3:0 SAFFC<br />2001-02 Asian Club Championship: SAFFC 1:5 BEC<br />2009 AFC Champions League qualifier: PEA 1:4 SAFFC<br /><br />Just last year SAFFC sent out a message to Thai clubs with a 4-1 victory over PEA. Something of a shock at the beginning of last season, but as the season moved on, it did become noticable that this PEA team wasn't anything like the PEA team that won the 2008 TPL.<br /><br />In the 2001-02 ACC, SAFFC got a stuffing from BEC, but it must be said that this BEC team were practically the ASEAN king's of the team, if not the whole of Asia. BEC were the big spenders in the region at the time and surprised a hell of a lot of people in making the final of the ACL just a year later.<br /><br />Saturdays game will be an interesting matchup. The tie could go either way. SAFFC are no pushovers, the only highlight i see at the moment is that they lost the big man Duric to S.League rivals Tampines, so set pieces we should be able to deal with, but here we go again - Thailand v Singapore in the greatest club event in Asia.druryfirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00776028496882357244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214736625310334682.post-7344393341820653562010-01-31T19:09:00.000+00:002010-01-31T19:10:26.162+00:00Myanmar in ThailandMyanmar have lined up two friendlies in Thailand:<br /><br />01/02/10 v Royal Thai Army<br />03/02/10 v Thai Port<br /><br />Part of Myanmar's preperations for the 2010 AFC Challenge Cupdruryfirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00776028496882357244noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214736625310334682.post-34253616525944333432010-01-31T19:07:00.002+00:002010-01-31T19:08:03.603+00:00Thai Clubs in Asia<em><strong>Asian Champions League</strong></em><br />Muangthong came through the first ACL qualifier defeating Vietnames side Da Nang away from home 3-0.

A game, that we really need to win. A draw might squeeze us through, but come on, a win puts us on the plane to Qatar.<br /><br />Recently, Robson has been using the 4-5-1 formation. Why? To keep clean sheets? It's not working against good opposition. It may well work against other middle ranking Asian nations, but i don't think it will work against much better Asian oppostion such as Iran. Not away from home anyway.<br /><br />If Robson continues to use 4-5-1, then surely he needs a target man to hold up the ball? It seems he wants busy players, loose chickens to run around, chase things down. But international football isn't about this.<br /><br />I think Robson is the weak link of the national team setup. Maybe it's not his fault. For one, I don't think he picks the players, actually, I don't think he could pick the players as he has never seen more than 3 TPL games - so its not his fault, and his faith is on his assitant Steve Darby to make most of the decisions - if FAT allows him.<br /><br />Currently we are lacking goals, confidence from our front men must be low. Surely its time to use a bit of experience, 3 matches have juts gone, and it wasn't used.<br /><br />Robson simply doesn't know enough about Asian football to make any kind of difference. There's many lesser known Europeans, mainly Eastern European, that could do a fair better job - but their name would never catch for Thai popularity. Yemeni coach Srecko Juricic comes to mind.<br /><br />Come Tehran, Robson has to win me over. He has to go out andd attack Iran. If we lose we lose, but we have to go out fighting. If we sit back and hope not to concede and catch them on the break, then i simply see this as negative football and can see us being a joke in Qatar.<br /><br />Robson could draw the game 0-0 and still go out. But Robson will claim a morale victory. Yes, it would be a good result away to Iran, but not the result that is needed in the circumstance.<br /><br />I for one am losing patience with Robson and if we don't win in Tehran or at least go down fighting, i will be calling for his head.<br /><br />So come on Robbo, show us why you were a manager in the most exciting league in the world and give us fans something to cheer about rather than sit back and just simply hope.druryfirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00776028496882357244noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214736625310334682.post-31554101903741413642010-01-12T16:25:00.000+00:002010-01-12T16:28:02.957+00:00Thailand Selection V Ulsan Hyundai - 13th Jan<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2C0P1pZFjscuUlaqEbC7yzc20m6-Z2lOToNdd4JutLL6I_3rqJc9ywgJ0XK1VxtVMVUMRYcbyJHSmUYguzIVPaWXb5CnNY4rhOMK0FJ0V3k9W7co-xn8N7_s-ahihBgqOF6b6hHmVXPE/s1600-h/NA1263222478.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 348px; HEIGHT: 173px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425890502185245538" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2C0P1pZFjscuUlaqEbC7yzc20m6-Z2lOToNdd4JutLL6I_3rqJc9ywgJ0XK1VxtVMVUMRYcbyJHSmUYguzIVPaWXb5CnNY4rhOMK0FJ0V3k9W7co-xn8N7_s-ahihBgqOF6b6hHmVXPE/s320/NA1263222478.jpg" /></a>druryfirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00776028496882357244noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214736625310334682.post-26241250916443653792010-01-11T13:46:00.000+00:002010-01-11T13:48:29.824+00:00Promotion / Relegation IssuesRumour has it, 4 teams will be relegated from the TPL this year.<br /><br />So four promotions from DIV 1, which in turn has 4 teams relegated.<br /><br />All we need to know now is, how many leagues are we having in the Regional setup!!druryfirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00776028496882357244noreply@blogger.com0
