webfact Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Soccer games to mark end of political ban The Nation BANGKOK: -- Pheu Thai will stage a special football match today with former Thai Rak Thai Party executives to celebrate the end of their time in the political wilderness, Pheu Thai spokesman Prompong Nopparit said yesterday. Prompong said four teams would take part in games starting at Thephasadin Stadium at 4pm. The first team will be made up of members of the current Cabinet and ex-ministers, who are former Thai Rak Thai or People Power executives. The 111 former Thai Rak Thai executives are due to end a five-year political ban in late May. The second team will be Pheu Thai MPs and senators invited to join in the games. The third will be from the media and the fourth will be entertainers and artists. The first game will be between the team of MPs and senators against the entertainers. Then, the team of Cabinet members and former ministers will play against the reporters' team. Players will then merge into two special teams to compete against each other. Prompong said the party was waiting for Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, to see if she can kick-start the games. Former Thai Rak Thai executives who will join the event include Chaturon Chaisaeng, Pongthep Thepkanjana, Varathep Rattanakorn. Former PM Somchai Wongsawat, who was a People Power executive, will also play. -- The Nation 2012-04-30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tragickingdom Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 The ban was of course shameless and politically motivated. The democrat Party could in the meantime shamelessly accept money from crooked businessmen, steal from funds but their cases were dismissed on technicalities. Only military and Asian judges will sentence groups of people collectively and ban their parties, that's easy and a form of injustice. Good that the constitution which is written on toilet paper anyhow will be rewritten again. Next attempt to rewrite it again is after the next coup of course.

Yer right.. it was the 1997 constitution that got the 111 dismissed for systematic vote buying.. The same constitution that Thaksin used to steam roller his agenda... What goes around comes around i JUST WONDER who is paying for this wonderful game of solidarity....... ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcatcher Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) No doubt if and when the game is played there will be an adequate supply of medical staff and ambulances to rush to hospital those who experience breathing and other difficulties whilst playing football.

Propaganda 101: -it's the coup's fault -it's the democrat's fault -it's the contitution's fault -it's the court's fault Let me tell you a secret: If you buy votes you get banned.....

Soi Sauce Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) Why are they doing this? Thailand as a footballing nation? Next you'll be telling me that they think themselves a democracy! Then again, many like Liverpool. A successful club in an area of massive unemployment. Maybe they are doing this to let the proles know what is coming. Surely, the result, like contracts, is fixed already. Edited April 30, 2012 by Soi Sauce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope team 1 takes care. Too many injured and/or in hospital and bad things could happen, like a bit of flooding or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many injured and/or in hospital and bad things could happen, like a bit of flooding or so considering the current events unfolding they may want to consider playing water polo instead of football 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
