Sakon Nakhon

The Football Omen

Album 150607 Sisaket at Sakon fc Sakon Nakhon made a goal early in the game. No score. Ruled off sides.  The regular Sakon Goalkeeper was sitting in the bleachers "barred." His replacement on the field, very promising. Actually the whole lineup did a very respectable job on the field.  "They had a lot of bad luck," according to one fan Goal kicking needs a bit of attention at practice. I counted over half a dozen goal attempts, all of which were headed toward the clouds, too high. There was an OMEN before the game (a phenomenon that is believed to foretell the future) . Notice the teams are not facing each other. Sisaket is standing on grass while Sakon Nakhon Players are sinking in clay The game was fast paced and exciting. Had not heard much cheering at Sakon Nakhon Football games in a while.  This game there was plenty of local fan cheering and a few catcalls expressing dissatisfaction. Sakon Nakhon required two injury replacements. Neither event deserved a card according to the referee.

Police Chase at the football game

In all fairness, my camera was set on sport setting, recording continuous images at video speed. It was a welcome funny moment at what was a intense fast paced football game

Watch out for that tree

Yesterday's heavy thunderstorm resulted in a number of toppled trees, some hit by lightening. Fallen trees during thunderstorms seem to be a very recurring event in recent years You may want to reconsider that parking spot more carefully
