No Games Weekend in the NE Football League

Scrolled through the 2017 Thai League 4 North Eastern Region schedules. Nothing on. I'll do some pool cleaning Pree Pool BBQ If you think my pool is just an oversized bathtub , you should have seen the original. The kids enjoyed the slippery tiles.   After I fell on my ass a few times Tiles were replaced with non slip It get's crowded on hot days

Based on my electric bill, this year has been a bit cooler than last year...

... but May is ahead My May electric bill last year was higher than April I receive my electric bill on the 19th of each month, that's why you see April before it's ended

Sakon FC CAN DO

click for larger view After having seen recent games I was convinced that yesterday's game was very winnable.    Even though the previous game was a draw, the Sakon Nakhon team knocked Chaiyaphum from it's third place perch.    Loei City had taken over the third position, and I expected that they too would be knocked down from their 'high horse.' There'd been some lineup changes recently and this team is performing really good. Most noticeable to me has been the goalkeeper, he's stopped at least a dozen attempts at his goal during both the last two games. The refereeing wasn't all that great, resulting in plenty booing.  The first half of the 2017 season ends with a road trip to Buriram.  I'm convinced the game is winnable. Sakon Nakhon FC had been in last (12th) place and has now advanced to 9th.  I'm expecting miracles during the second half of the season.
