As forecast last week, scattered showers. Traveling to Ubon, most ricefields were bone dry. Occasionally we travelled through wet roads and light rains.

Sunday evening in Ubon the temperatures dropped quickly with a pleasant breeze, caused by a storm in the distance with lightning and thunder on the horizon.

Sakon Nakhon FC: A day of a Snowflake in Hell

It was predestined that Sakon FC would not be winning against the number one team in the league.
It was more a matter of how bad the beating would be.
Earlier this year Udon trashed the number two team in the league, Nakhon Phanom 10-1.

What is even more noteworthy is that Ubon has not always been number one.

2011	15/16
2012	16/16
2013	03/16

Sakon FC did their best, which made for an exciting game from start to finish.
By halftime Ubon had already 4 goals to their credit.
The scoreboard clock was not set correctly.
The game started at 6:09 pm.


         6:11 pm                       6:30 pm                       6:50 pm                    6:56 pm

The second half started at 7:17


       7:32 pm                      7:34 pm                      7:51 pm




Sakon Nakhon next hosts Sisaket on May 4. Game starts at 4 pm
With eight games played, Sisaket has won 3, lost 3, and had 2 draws.
If I were an oddsmaker, I'd say 50-50

Sakon Nakhon FC at Ubon UMT FC

 

The Sakon Nakhon Team and staff departed early Saturday morning on a 385 km (240 mile) bus journey to Ubon Ratchathani.  They arrived at their destination mid afternoon, according to a text message from one of the players.

You've most likely heard of the Saying:

 Chance of a Snowflake in Hell

That's the chance Sakon Nakhon has of winning this meet.
Ubon UMT FC is number one in the league, winning all seven of it's games this season.
Sakon Nakhon FC is 13th in the league of 14 teams.

It seems Sakon Nakhon FC is in a rebuilding mode, and even though their standings aren't memorable, they put on an exciting performance.  

Let's not forget there have been a number of very bad referee decisions at the expense of the team this season.

I expect some exciting game action in Ubon this evening starting at 6 pm.

Chances of some winning games in May are much improved.  It's an uphill battle.
