Sakon FC delayed

A one day postponement of the game in Roi Et this weekend.
Changed from Saturday to Sunday.
One explanation I received was that the game time conflicted with a fair.
Can't confirm that reason.
Somehow I am hoping it's a scheduling change to allow TV broadcast of the game.

SMM TV recently broadcast the  Sakon Nakhon  vs Mukdahan Game.

Have not found a schedule at SMM TV.
My fingers are crossed.
It would be great to watch the game. SMM TV


Sakon Nakhon has never won a game with Roi Et.

Heated argument gets hotter

Phra Viharn (Preah Vihear) is starting to make the news as arguments are heard by both countries in the Hague.
A final decision is expected around mid year. I suspect there'll be plenty of saber rattling long before the decision is final.
