Crooked Refs, shocking!!!!

[idman]

Today in the Bangkok Post Sport section the head noddy of the Football Association of Thailand (FAT) openly admitted that there are serious irregularities in the refereeing of football matches and that the image of Thai football has been tarnished.  Either this guy is the bravest man still alive in Thailand or he has already left the country.  He goes on to say that certain refs have been compromised, that certain influencial individuals have offered bribes to fix matches in their teams favor.  Of course none is this is shocking as money buys you whatever result you want in every aspect of Thai life.  The fact that this brave man has come forward is noteworthy and hopefully some of the more blatant abusers are removed from officiating football matches in the future.  The real problems lies with the Hi-So owners who have their way and can dictate to those beneath them.  Newin Chidchob of Buriram immediately comes to mind as he has used his massive fortune to buy the best team in the Thai Premier League and God help those who cross him or his team.  Anyway, reading this article was certainly an eye opener and quite refreshing.
