It's gonna be a nailbiter Wednesday

As anticipated, today's game was broadcast live on a facebook feed. There were a few feed interruptions which required a quick page reload It was a fourth win for Sakon Nakhon FC this season, propelling the team past the halfway standings in the league. Sakon Nakhon FC has a real challenge ahead this wednesday when they travel to Yasothon. Yasothon is second in the league, so it may be "a tough nut to crack." It's possible though.  If you look at the first two games of the season.  RoiEt beat Sakon FC at home and got defeated in front of their home fans today.  It could happen again. The next home game is Saturday, May 13, when Sakon FC hosts Surin City.  The game was live on facebook

Today 4 pm Sakon Nakhon FC at RoiEt United

With a number of games played Saturday, Sakon FC has sunk from 6th to 8th place. RoiEt has achieved the bottom, even though they won their last game 5 - 2.    Let's not forget Sakon FC has performed well during the last 5 games. Three wins, two draws. Two of the wins were away games. Of course I'm hoping to see some live streaming pop up on the net.  If not I'll keep an eye on   for live updates

Anything Alphabet Inc. (Google) was not available for many webb surfers in Thailand on Saturday

The official line was "A glitch." I'm always skeptical of such excuses.  Could have been a well planned test At first I thought I had a computer virus.  When My second and third computer encountered the same problem, I realized it was a server problem.  Switching on my VPN I was able to check Google mail and check some news clips on YouTube.
