thaimiller Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 Just been reading on the Chiang Mai Fc facebook page (well the Mrs read it for me) that all the celebrations start at 5pm tomorrow, then the game at 6pm. They are presenting the trophy for winning the league after the game at 8pm, then some sort of party at the 700 year stadium at 8.30pm all invited. Should be a great afternoon/evening/night out and all for 30thb. But get there early as it may be a busy one... You have popcorn at a party Mr Miller , i would have thought that you would be on something a bit stronger . Im taking the Mrs and Nipper with me Alfie, so best behaviour today for me. Cost me a bloddy fortune to buy em T-shirts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanuman1 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Congratulations to Chiang Mai FC. Champions. Nice 1-0 victory over a competent Lampang team on a pitch that was waterlogged in some areas. When that tall CM midfielder stepped up to take that free kick I was thinking 'Shouldn't he be in the box?', but he answered my question - straight in for the winning goal. Gutted I can't be at the post match celebrations at Three Kings. Chaiyo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaimiller Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 Brilliant night out and I wouldn't like to guess how many people were there. Good to see them get the trophy at the end. I though Brett Buckingham (number 30) had a great game yesterday, not seen him much this season due to injuries but on that form he could play a great part in the play-offs. Congratulations to Chiang Mai again for the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieMBeagle Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Great game last night! I had a lot of fun cheering in the front with the farang supporters for the first time. Kevin, thanks for the ride. Now, what's the playoff schedule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangkok blue Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 A few Thai guys told me the playoff will be on October 16th October.... Not sure if that's 100% though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaimiller Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 Ive been told the 16th also but no idea if its home or away or who against, not sure if the 10 fixtures have been arranged yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrubber Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Congrats to CMFC on winning the league. I'm surprised to see their away kit is yellow - maybe they'd sell more if it was red... Anyway, I just wanted to say that their fame and popularity is growing very quickly (or at least it seems that way to me). I was playing Jeopardy in class the other day with some students in M3 & M4 and the answer to a question in the category of 'Chiang Mai' was 'Tigers'. Almost immediately, one girl's hand shot up and she proudly asked "What's the nickname of Chiang Mai FC?" I was very impressed. As for the play-offs, what league are they gunning for promotion into?

bangkok blue Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Def got the easier of the two groups! Bangkok FC and Sumat Prakarn were in the TPL not long ago! Hopefully fixtures will be confirmed soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully fixtures will be confirmed soon! It was a definate benefit in winning the league agreed, not sure on the other teams but Phichit beat Chiang mai this year in the league and were a strong team. 2 teams qualify so fingers crossed. Looking forward to the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear, I don't know what chinned means...is that like "pulling a Zidane" using only the chin? Instead I just smiled and shrugged, which is a variation of my standard "smile and nod" when I don't know why someone says something. I'm 34...I forget how old he said he was, somewhere in his mid-20s I think. Not entirely sure how the subject came up, but I guess that's how it goes when you get thousands of screaming fans fueled by Leo and Chang, etc., together in a stadium with a CHAMPIONSHIP team!

hanuman1 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 (edited) I want to catch the home games, but I fear that if I hear that bloody ChiangMai FC 'theme song' one more time I might inadvertantly hurt somebody. It's still going round in my head now and it's been ages since the last game. Please, if anyone has any sway with the CMFC bigwigs, please suggest a different song for next season and save a man's sanity. How about 'Eye of the Tiger' from Rocky. Mind you that will probably just substitute the mindless violence of a lone farang with mass puking in the stands. Anyone got any other suggestions?

Its the Lady Gaga song they sing that I can't get out of my head, my daughter has been singing it all the time since the last game. You know the one "Ga Ga O la la we sing for Chiang mai" and " O a O a OO a OOOO a OOOOO Chiang Mai Champions league" Alfie Ive been looking on google maps and it says Phichit is 497 km away, should do it in about 6 hours but a little too far for me on a Sunday night back. If it had been the Saturday then I would have gone and stayed over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinned is the same as a punch in the mouth but i wouldn't expect that kind of behaviour from a lady of Chiang Mai anyway 34 is not old, perhaps that was his chat up line .

I'm not sure if they still run the shop at the 700 year stadium as well if your closer to that end of town or would like to show your visitors the ground.

thaimiller Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 (edited) Ive just been told that the Saraburi Vs Chiang Mai game is on the T-Sports channel(2 channels after Star sports) on UBC tomorrow at 4pm, although at this stage I can't see it advertised. Fingers crossed that it is. Edited October 15, 2010 by thaimiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krung Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Yeah it is on T-sports at 3.30pm kick off at 4pm. Will be on WETV hopefully as well for us without the luxury of UBC. Should be a good game with one of the favorite teams in group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
