The squad is actually strong at the moment, maybe just left side needs reinforcing. And even if a few of the so called "want away brigade" do leave, we have adequate strength to cope.

Could still do with trimming the likes of Ralston, Benyu and of course Boli. Also may be beneficial to loan out the likes of Robertson and Henderson.

Micky J must be due back into the picture soon, will be good to have that option of pace injection available, hopefully he bulks up. But while Taylor is steady, his lack of pace, for SPL games, is holding us back. Lets face it, most SPL games, its very little defending needs to be done, thats why we need a winger type full back, that can also play LWB, Frimprong or KT type.

Cant really see Pistol Pete splashing much more of the hard earned, perhaps a few loan deals near the end of transfer window.

Big welcome to Derry man and Celtic fan Shane Duffy, on his way, great news. A classic no nonsense type defender, who has leadership attributes-may convince NL to drop Brown? There will be no more SPL pork chops bulling us at he back now, and am excited to hopefully see him in a back 3 with CJ and Ajer. Will mind the shop while one of these 2 can probe forward, he will also be a threat from set pieces, if we have somebody who can deliver a decent ball.

Believe it is a season long loan, paying a fee of around 1M and 25K a week in wages.

This is the sort of market we need to be operating in.

In the last few years, we have spunked decent coin, 20M on the likes of

Kouassi £2.8m, Compper - £1.2m, Hendry -£1.5m, Bayo - £2m, Shved - £1.75m, Taylor- £2m, Boli-£3m, Klimala - £3.5m, Soro - £2m

and none, as of yet, has been a success. Thats a lot of coin, coupled with wages,

I think its our 5th signing this season so far and all quality.

I don't say this often about food in Thailand, but that looks to be both good quality and good value. Obviously my wife thinks that 260 is extortion. What did it taste like? If it was cheap local meat cooked in an Otto oven then I'd gladly pay you 260 baht to take it away.  

Apart from the beef being  a bit dry, everything excellent. 

Unbelievable again from stubborn Lennon to run without a striker and go with same team that flopped midweek. A dour first half performance, with no penetration except for a neat finish from Forrest, saw us go in 1 nil up at HT. Cannot recall their keeper making one save first half???

Lennon finally see sense and brings on Polish Pat, who went on to miss 2 sitters but was a presence. We finally broke down a woeful Well side, who offered nothing. Goals from Ajeti and big CJ.

Frimpong played well when introduced, gave us much needed injection of pace, Ajer looks to have refocused.

Ajeti looks a player, but unfit at the moment, hopefully the Int break will see him get up to speed.

After all the fall out from that shocking mid week circus, Turnbull arrived from Motherwell, could turn out to be a good signing, think he is a Stuart Armstrong type of midfielder.

no longer consider Brown as an automatic choice.

Totally agree about Brown.

Absolutely shocking decision to start such an important one off/cup final type game without a striker, how must Polish Pat feel? Its not as if we were playing Bayern or PSG, showed them way too much respect.

They are no great shakes, just a Killie style team, but done their homework, sat in and picked us off on the counter. It was a performance similar to the DU and Killie games recently, we need to figure out how to break down these micky mouse teams that pack defense. Brown is way too negative, constantly killing the momentum with backward passes. We need more dynamics in midfield.   

Ajer restored and looked good, Nicham in midfield was our best midfielder, ElHam was solid up until he got scudded for the winner. Again Lennon waits too long to make a change, Frimpong looked dangerous when introduced. 

Much as I dont rate him as a defender, and there was arrogance, must say, put yourself in his shoes and 2 pricks are hassling your sister, I would not be holding back, both would be getting laid out.

Went to Retox Game on last Monday and had their daily special.

Had the chicken pie, came with homemade chips, beans and a boat of gravy.

Pies are homemade, a really good meal and outstanding value at 199B.

RGO have some good value daily specials.

 

Went back today, had the mince beef and onion pie, superb. 

We were so poor, Eddy needs help up top, always surrounded by 3 defenders. 

Lennon leaves it too late to change things up when its simply not working. And he is way too loyal to Brown, surely we dont need Brown against the likes of Dundee Utd? Midfield dynamics need to improve big time, 

Christie did play well.

But we have not improved with our set pieces, corner kicks especially.

Next up is vital CL game, will have to start our strongest side.

Squad trimming continues with Shved off to Belgium, O'Conner off to Birkenhead, and Bayo finally in France.

Whatever we think of them, all 3 were non contributors and hard to see them getting any game time.

Have to say, Lennon has done well with squad trimming, only really Ralston still to move on, maybe Henderson on loan.

Have always maintained squad was way too bloated. Oh yea, that <deleted> Boli also.

Some big calls for NL to make in the next few games, would like to see some changes on Sat, as he will have to go with strongest starting 11 midweek. Maybe see Ajer, Nicham and Frimpong starting Saturday instead of Bitton, Brown and Forrest.  

Interesting to see Ajer getting benched???

Good workout against part timers.

Quality first goal, awesome pass from Big CJ and class take and finish from MoEly, who had a good game.

Was well impressed with ElHam at RB, something about him. Right now, I would like to see ElHam at RB and young Jerry at RW, Forrest will come good but just looks like he is not at it right now.

Quick turn around, out on Saturday, late kick off, and in CL again on Tuesday night, at least its a home tie.

As mentioned, the subject is an International Driving Permit (IDP), The requirement for use has nothing to do with having a job outside of Thailand.  The IDP is based on United Nations conventions to which nations have subscribed.  It basically is a translation into several languages information from the person's driving license and when using must be accompanied by such license. 

 

IDPs are used to drive a vehicle (type will be noted on the IDP)  in countries other than the one issuing them if that country requires it.  Some countries will allow use of the foreign driving license without the need for and IDP, others will require it, and others may not recognize either.  As the OP mentioned, in his case he needs it to hire a car in the country he plans to visit.  

 

As he later mentioned, he has now decided to wait to get a new one considering current travel restrictions.  His original question was if he could now get it in Pattaya instead of Chonburi.  As I previously posted, things have not changed and he will still need to get it in Chonburi. 

 

Here is a link where the process at Chonburi Land Transport Office is mentioned and the documents required:   https://yourpattaya.com/driver-license-international-thailand.html

 

 

Useful info, many thanks.

IDP expires in a few days, guess no point in renewing it right now, better wait till nearer the time when I fly.

More info needed of why you need a IDP with your Thai licence.

Thai driving license is not always accepted when hiring cars overseas.

I went to Chonburi last year and got my first International Driving Permit.

Now I need to renew it.

Do I have to go back to Chonburi or can I do it in Pattaya?

Also, what do I need to bring?

Thanks for that, will do. Have you had work done by them?

There should be someone more local for the basic job I require. 

Can somebody recommend a company that will do some built in bedroom furniture, wardrobes, drawer units, lamination etc., in Jomtiem area Pattaya? 

I need a stainless handrail fitted on stairway, approx4m long, just bolted to wall only, can anyone recommend a place where I can get this done, Jomtiem area in Pattaya?

After a dreadful week, finally something to be excited about, the signing of Swiss guy, Ajeti. Believe its a permeant 4 year deal. Seems to have lost his way last year at WHU, but impressive statistics in the Swiss league. Seems like NL means business and is going to go 2 up top, Just wondering how long it will take him to get up to speed, as he has been on holiday in Italy for the past week, suspect it will take 3 or 4 weeks???

Also, what does this mean for both Griff and Polish Paddy??? Would we have signed this guy if Griff had been fit and firing on all cylinders?

A week without football because of that <deleted> Boli, hopefully he is suspended without pay and placed on transfer list, although cannot see any club offering him a contract, maybe just have to cut our losses and sack the <deleted>. Seems like it was an overnight trip to Spain, and what was he doing in Spain, trying to arrange a move? Talk about brain dead.

I know its just rumor control but that Duffy story gets me so excited. Just what we need.

What a clown that Boli is, should be placed on transfer list immediately. What the hell was he thinking of? And how come he gets 4 days off between games?

Hope there will be no major fall out from this.

We were so blunt, just no dynamics. We need to change something.

I dont think their had a save to make the whole game??
