Eastern League Football
Referees got no balls
Sakon FC 0
Udon FC 3
There is no denying Udon FC is the better team.
First half turned out to be a really good game.
A couple of bad calls by referees were minor and nothing to get upset about.
Absolutely different situation during the second half.
There were a few times when penalties should have been called.
In fact at one point it seemed like the referee backed down after being confronted by an Udon player.
The Udon coach started to get into the face of one referee. He repeatedly left his designated area.
From where I saw things, the coach became absolutely obnoxious.
The Udon Coach repeatedly stepped onto the field, then called Udon players off the field, stopping the game.
At this point Udon should have forfeited the game, or at least the coach should have been removed from the game.
Neither the coaches or the suits had any balls to penalize the coach and team.
The game resumed as if the whole incident never happened.
No apparent challenge by Sakon FC staff.
Not all referees are bad, but in recent Eastern League games referee inadequacies have been really noticeable. As if they have their own set of Thailand Football rules.
Got no balls:

Got no balls:
- doesn't have the guts to do something
- coward
- lack of ability
Doing the verbal two step
Remember these headlines?
Police says no intention to block public use of Line application
National News Bureau of Thailand
- Chat Application surveillance Seattle PI
- Police slapped down on Line monitoring plan Bangkok Post
Here's an update
Police says no intention to block public use of Line application

Just want to find "... users that were using the application as a channel to sell illegal arms, drugs, or for prostitution."
Tippy's Double Header
One Year Anniversary Special
One Year Anniversary Special
Fun night out in Sakon Nakhon.
Fourth day with no rain, mostly cloudy conditions kept the temperatures quite pleasant for this evening out.
The price for a night celebrating was well worth it. My bill came to 300 baht per person. Ten Bucks U.S.
The musicians who entertain at Tippy's every Friday and Saturday are really great. Mostly sixties western music. I wasn't the only one singing along. It sounded more like a chorus at times.
They are really well worth a visit.
My apologies for the poor quality lighting of the video The Photo album ↓

August in Sakon Nakhon
No local rain in the past 72 hours.
A few scattered showers reported in outlying areas.
It's as if the rainy season is going to wind down early this year.
More vehicles on the road, especially after the recent government buyer program.
I was a tow truck driver for a few years (1970's).
I know you have to pull a stuck vehicle straight forward, not to one side.
Drove past the scene an hour later. The truck had sunk a lot deeper into the mud.
Temporary abandonment.
Most of you know Tony is selling everything and wants to move on.
A portion of his land sold. The better part is still available
He also has a few other items for sale
Freezer, fridge, telescope, bamboo furniture
Saw this elsewhere. Nice lamps. The bug trap needs to be emptied soon

LIVE at Tippy's Friday, Aug 16
Always wondered if Sakon Nakhon would be visited by a Westerner with some fame to his name.
When I heard Eugene Hideaway Bridges was in town, I knew I had to take a road trip to Kok Si Supan.
Mr Bridges has taken out a few days from his schedule to visit a friend here.
He was out about the town last night and did a bit of impromptu performance at a nightclub near the Chinese temple.
Before meeting Mr Bridges I searched the net to see what people had to say about him:

Before meeting Mr Bridges I searched the net to see what people had to say about him:
- He's a very cool guy and a very talented musician
- Absolutely Awesome 5 Star
- Eugene is great. Come back to the UK soon
After a brief meeting with Eugene and getting some LIVE samples of his music, I am totally impressed.
His personality reflects his music, blues, soul and a little bit country.
I felt totally comfortable in his presence.
Not like some other Hollywood types I've met, snobbish, with a better than thou attitude (Elvis).
He tours internationally, Australia is a recent favorite. He's also looking forward to a trip home to New Orleans, after an R&R stopover in Singapore.
Of avoiding paparazzi, he says: "I just won't wear my hat. Without my hat hardly anyone seems to recognize me."
Eugene's DNA is full of music. Father "Magic" Hideaway Slim.
A relative of his mother is none other than Anna Mae Bullock, better known as Tina Turner.
Why the name Hideaway? A long line of "BLUES"
"Hideaway" is a 1960's song recorded by Freddie King.
Freddie King credits the the song to Hound Dog Taylor

Utter Utor Hooey
First noticed Utor last Sunday, August 11, as it was approaching the Philippines:
It was too early to forecast what would happen a week later.
Provinces forecast to experience drenching according to THE NATION article are highlighted in yellow.
I don't see any local devastation caused by UTOR, with the center of the storm heading northwest
I've mentioned tentacles. I suspect a t-storm here and there,mostly cloudy, a rain shower
Unless of course UTOR happens to decide to follow the road signs
It was too early to forecast what would happen a week later.
These things can do a lot of unexpected twists and turns.

I'm surprised not to find UTOR caution flags for northern Thailand.
