ctrunfree Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) Anyone know where I am likely to be able to watch the Australia v Thailand World Cup football qualifier on Friday (kick off is 8pm Brisbane time)? (Doesn't need to be a place with hammocks!) Edited August 29, 2011 by ctrunfree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaimiller Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 It will no doubt be on Thai television so most places will show it, you should be able to watch it in your posh hotel room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent! So all I need to find is a good supply of caviar and a crate of Bollinger and I'm set! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMwanderer Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'm interested in this too! It's on Thai tv - really - what channel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete66 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Turn the TV on at the time - big game like this will only be on CH. 3 or CH. 7 I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainiain101 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Chris in Bistro 1 Nim City Plaza says he will be showing it if it is on Thai TV. 5pm Kick off. He does get a few Aussie customers, so maybe some atmosphere! Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallaby Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 My better half is already giving me heaps about Thailand winning 5 - 0. I'll give her some tissues at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctrunfree Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 I suppose if we want to find somewhere to watch with a bit of atmosphere we just head towards the sound of the vevuzelas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldeBellPedr Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Kick off time is 5pm Thai time. As several people have asked, we will be showing the game live at The Olde Bell on Loi Kroh Rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaimiller Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 big game Its a world cup qualifier, so in effect it is a big game for the 2 teams involved. Its as important to those 2 teams as the Bulgaria Vs England Euro 2012 qualifier is to me later on tonight/tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaimiller Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Great game, the Aussies deserved the win but the Thai's gave them hell of a scare in the first half. Australia 2-1 Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame the power went out in the Old Belle and all along Loi Kroh road just 10 minutes into the match! From the press reports, it didn't sound like I missed much by way of an impressive Socceroo performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainiain101 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Cant believe it. Start for me (English) of the 2014 World Cup, had goose bumps! Just love International football Thailand scored first we all cheered, westeners and car park attendants. It stagered us during the game the total lack of interest from the Thai people passing by. The car park guys and toilet cleaners seemed to know it was a world cup game, but the rest couldnt care. It was a pathetic show from the locals. Just sad.

Thai's don't care that much for football from their own country, and with reason, the level is very low. However they do get warm from a big premier league match, mainly because they like to gamble on those matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiang Mai get crowds anywhere between 10 and 15,000 people. Sections with huge flags and lots of drums and trumpets with fanatical support. Thai's are very much into their local football as well as you rightly say premier league matches. Maybe the fact the game started at 5pm on friday night when people had not finished work yet or were on the way home had a lot to do with things.

Any way, it can back on after about 15 mins, so we missed Thailand's goal, but saw Australia's comeback. Things went downhill after Tim Cahill (Ex Millwall, of course!) went off!!
