Sorry i didn't get back to you before the games took place. Here's the results for week 27 Port Authority 2 - 1 Samut Songkhram Tobacco Monopoly 0 - 0 Chula-Sinthana PEA 1 - 0 Customs Department Osotspa M-150 1 - 0 BEC Tero Sasana Coke Bangpra 1 - 0 Nakhon Pathom Royal Thai Army 0 - 3 Bangkok Bank Bangkok University 2 - 3 Chonburi FC Krung Thai Bank 4 - 1 TOT 2 horse race between PEA and Chonburi. Normally i want a team from the provinces to win, but i don't really want to see Chonburi win the title again, as i feel they are in a class of their own on many fronts and one day it will be hard for any other team to catch up to them. PEA i hope will win it, and i've learnt that they have a big following in Ayuttha (i've spelt it wrong) so they do represent an area rather than a company, which i don't really like. Next week they play BEC which will tell us if they can win the league or not. Custom's Dept were relegated today, it's been on the cards for a while, and looks like they will be joined by the Army very soon. Divison 2 had a couple of games today (i'll bring results when available), seems like a round robin to crown the overall champions, but i'm not sure on that fact due to my translation from thai script to english

Domestic League - Round 28 Results Samut Songkhram 2 - 1 Coke Bangpra Chula-Sinthana 2 - 2 Krung Thai Bank Customs Department 2 - 1 Tobacco Monopoly BEC Tero Sasana 1 - 0 PEA Nakhon Pathom 1 - 2 Osotspa M-150 Bangkok Bank 1 - 1 Bangkok University Chonburi FC 0 - 0 Port Authority TOT 0 - 0 Royal Thai Army Chonburi go top on goal difference from PEA, 2 games left to play. Army are all but relegated, must win 2 out of 2 and score about 10 goals to stay up. Port Authority live to fight another week
Domestic League Division One News - (2nd Level) Royal Thai Navy, Sriracha and Mueang Thong NongJork United are promoted to the Premier League for next season. Mueang have led the first division all year, but have recently been struggling to win, mainly drawing, but should be a good solid team for next year. Navy are a kind of yo-yo club. Will be interesting to see how Sriracha do, joing their neighbours Chonburi and Coke-Bangpra. Results - Week 29 225 Royal Thai Navy FC 0 - 0 SuphanBuri 226 Phitsanulok 1 - 3 Raj-Vithi FC 227 Khon Kaen FC 1 - 0 Sriracha FC 228 Chanthaburi 2 - 2 Surat Thani 229 Rattana Bundit FC 1 - 0 Nakhon Sawan 230 Royal Thai Air Force 1 - 3 Thai Airways 231 Royal Thai Police 0 - 0 Mueang Thong NongJork United 232 Thai Honda FC 2 - 1 PTT FC
Under 19's National Team Well done to the alds who recently came runners up to Iran in the Thanh Nien Cup hosted in Vietnam. The boys beat Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore on the way to the final. Shows once again that are youngsters are the best in our ASEAN Region.
Domestic League The Army finally took the plung after Port Authority beat Bangkok Uni 2-1 today. It's been a look struggle for the Army, they have taken some decent points off the top sides BEC and Chonburi but couldn't mix it with the rest. They are now officially relegated to the 1st Division. On the other hand, Port Authority are now out of the relegation zone, and Bangkok Bank have dropped into it. With two games remaining, who will join the Army and Customs Dept? We have Bangkok Bank, Port Authority, Tobacco Monopoly and Coke-Bangpra all with a mathmatical chance of sinking.

Some news from one of my contacts in Thailand about the disbanding of Bangkok Bank FC Have you heard the news about the disbanding of Bangkok Bank? It was the big news of Thai football now after they can't stand in the TPL in this season. Due to in the next season of the TPL, FAT need to specify quality of the team in TPL for conform to AFC regulation so they command that every team in TPL 2009 seasons must... 1. The team in TPL 2009 must notarize to the company limited. That was the some reason for the disbanding of Bangkok Bank FC. 2. Head coach of the team in TPL 2009 must have the A-License from AFC. 3. All stadium in TPL 2009 must pass the expectation which should have the newsroom, the special seats for the newsman, enough light and the strong security. 4. Each team in TPL 2009 must have the youth team. If any team can't perform to above mentioned. They maybe also relegate to the division 1 league immediately. all thing for the progress of Thai football league.
PEA won the league and go into Champiosn league. Chonburi came runner up and go into AFC Cup Relegated = Royal Thai Army Customs Department Bangkok Bank Promoted = Muang Thong United Sriracha Royal Thai Navy Bangkok Bank may now fold as FAT seem to want to change rules at short notice, so Bangkok Bank would rather fold than gain the status needed. National Team will now got to play in T&T Cup in Vietnam from 28th October and then AFF Suzuki Cup in December. After that they have King's Cup in January with North Korea and two more sides yet to be confirmed. Be my guest to open a new thread Syriaman
