Thailand deny Chelsea mascot dumped for PM's son

[NongKhaiKid]

It's good to be Thaksin's nephew the PM's son a spoiled rich kid.

When too much is never enough!

Remember when Mr. T was PM people would say they didn't believe he would be corrupt as he didn't need to be as he was rich enough as it was.

[moe666]

If true then it's totally sick. I hope John Terry tells them to bugger off (which if he found out he would probably do).

No, he would ask how good looking the mom is, have her meet him after the game. Nah he only goes after his team mates wife

[tomyummer]

According to the story, this particular kid that was pulled for the Chelsea game was already a mascot for the ManU game days earlier. Is that not good enough?

[Katipo]

Shameful. Utterly shameful.

[pb1936]

Can't bear all the mindless razmataz that accompanies football, it's just big business now.

A great shame that a good sport has been turned into a circus act

[drdoom6996]

Transparency? Nepotism, absolutely!

[Baerboxer]

Truly sad. That the kids of those in power are encouraged to behave like this. They will grow up believing everything is theirs for the taking, and that they are above any rules, laws, or morals.

[OzMick]

Notice that there is no denial that the PM's son has got the job.

A government spokesman said... “Everything was done according to procedure.” That would be the standard PTP procedure of spreading cheeks and kissing Shinawatra butt - nepotism is the only game in town.

[winstonc]

Chelsea F.C. surely have an FB page or similar so they can be informed of this disgraceful behavior.

Chelsea FC won't give a monkey's about this issue.

Only in soccer is the practice of having kids walk out with the players condoned. Rather childish for a silly game.

its called football.atleast get it right,better than rounders,,?

or Netball OR American Rugby

[johnlandy]

This is just sad, the privileged take away this opportunity from children. Sometimes this place makes me sick.

"Only sometimes" you should be on cloud '9'

[marell]

Even if this story is completely wrong it's so easy to believe because of the way this country and those who have clout operate.

Wonder when the boy's father will be threatened with a lawsuit ?

Shortly after he loses his job, his house is confiscated and his bank accounts frozen.

[rubl]

"But the official, who did not want to be named, acknowledged that most of the mascots were the children of VIPs or Singha executives."

A totally transparent drawing of names gave us as result some kids whose parents are the more ardent Singha beer drinkers

BTW interesting to see that the link in the OP is to a report in a South African news site.

[khunken]

Actually it's more surprising that they didn't send out the privileged kids with the Man U team. After all their colours are more appropriate.

[animatic]

If true then it's totally sick. I hope John Terry tells them to bugger off (which if he found out he would probably do).

Government kids should be given the RED card

This government got installed by playing the Red Card.

They would think it was a compliment.

[ginjag]

Reading posts here all I can see is a mixed feeling--understandable when the report on the subject implied or I think a lesser motals child had been deleted for Yinglucks.

I would love to know who the original kids were it was stated they were still selected from vip families.

So the topic is a sort of wind up.

For gods sake can we have more true facts before posts/topics are put in the forum.

At leased then we would get better replies that have meaning.

[Just1Voice]

This spoilt brat and his can cry all they want,as this kid was a mascot for man u last week,so i agree he be given the boot so to speak,What i dont agree with is the pm son ,and where is the pm husband? are they now divorced?

they have never been "legally" married. They have a typical "common law" marriage.

From the Oxford Dictionary:

soccer

Pronunciation: /ˈsɒkə/

[mass noun]

a form of football played by two teams of eleven players with a round ball which may not be handled during play except by the goalkeepers. Also called football and Association football.

The object of the game is to score goals, by kicking or heading the ball into the opponents' goal. The game originated in England, and is played according to rules established by the Football Association, which has organized the major English knockout competition, the FA Cup, since 1872. The international game is administered by the International Football Federation (FIFA), which is responsible for the World Cup

I guess this is what you should expect in a dictatorship, gross nepotism is nothing new with a Thaksin government.

I am suprised Yingkuck hasnt stated she will sue and start criminal proceedings against the people who started this rumour...

its called football ok..!....its only referred to as soccer by some funny European/south American nations and the colonial cousins...The game was invented in the UK and they call it Football...so football it is..

What the colonial cousins call football..is actually Rugby with cissy pads on

[mrtoad]

Always nice to see that Yingluck is standing up for the people, sorry her people.

Revolting family.

[jackr]

Speaking of transparency I wonder what she would look like if she was to wash all the make up off her face and just dry it.

The Brits actually used the name soccer first: http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2010/06/the-origin-of-the-word-soccer/

And those "sissy pads" actually allow for much higher impacts; it's the same principle of putting boxing gloves on, which protect the fragile bones in the hand. If (American) football players didn't wear helmets and shoulder pads, the tackling would be far less violent as they'd have to exercise caution so as not to inflict self-injury.

I wouldn't be inclined to walk into a UK pub and call it soccer, but thanks for the warning

And, no, I didn't confirm your point. I'm saying the tackles in American football are far more violent than those in rugby. (Though rugby is an awesome sport, wish it was as popular in the U.S.)

Big girl blouses --

What would you expect in this country

[chickenslegs]

Must be hard on these privileged kids when an even more privileged kid comes along and takes their place
