The Chang FA Cup first round saw few shocks but there was drama!
Not that you can see highlights of most games as True and the Thai FA combined to stop clubs from broadcasting matches that were not covered by True.
Disappointingly, there were also no teams from Chiang Mai - should participation in the Thai FA Cup be compulsory for all teams in T1, T2 and T3?
The gap closed at the top of T3 North as MaeJo were held at home by Nakhon Sawan and CMFC won away at Chiang Rai United.
The Jeremy Zielinski highlights reel from his time in Thailand is here: https://youtu.be/_R16wkZnCCg?si=SP3QVm800rdIPRfo
Missing FA Cup score: Udonthani City 1 LOPBURI CITY 3.

With a nod to election day in the USA and bonfire night in the UK we (maybe just Rob) wonder(s) whether the Phrae bubble has burst.
Kasetsart beat Chonburi in front of a crowd of 1,800 - where were they the last few seasons?
Bangkok FC make it four wins in a row with a fine win at NakhonSi United.
In T3North Chiang Mai and MaeJo both win and Uttaradit drop 2 more points.
The first round of the Chang FC Cup is on 20 November - a quick look at some of the games - fixtures and start times are not yet on the Thai League web site.
Everything has been a bit of a rush today so I forgot to introduce Phil and Simon at the start of the podcast - it would be impossible to do this without them. Thank you.

We start the podcast with hopeful news for Yoo Byung-Soo and our condolences to the family of Kittisak Fufung.
Phil is back and gives us his preview of the Round of 32 in the REVO League Cup. The day when T1 scalps are at their most vulnerable.
In our usual review of T2 games we cheer a weekend of some fine goals, especially from Patrick Cruz for Pattaya at Suphanburi, and some unusual goalkeeping, Worawut at Chanthaburi.
Our preview and predictions for this weekend in T2. Chiang Mai United host Kasetsart on Friday night in a reunion for many ex CMFC players.

Simon and I were looking forward to this interview. Born in Sunnyvale, California, Jeremy Zielinski's goalkeeping career is still in its infancy but has taken him to Honolulu, SanFrancisco and Vancouver.
He made his own way to Khamphaengphet FC in order to play regular football and for a first experience of Asia.
Khamphaengphet play in Thai League 3 North, the same league as Chiang Mai FC and MaeJo United. It is far from glamourous but it is regular football and a showcase for potentially new opportunities in the future.
It is a really interesting discussion on motivation, commitment, setting objectives, self-awareness and experiencing new cultures.
Khamphaengphet play Chatrakkan City tomorrow (12 October) and come to CMFC on 3 November 2024 - a 5pm kick off in Doi Saket.
The picture is from Jeremy's facebook page - where you can also see his double save of a Phitsanulok Unity penalty in Khamphaengphet's 1-0 away win. Reminiscent of Manuel Almunia's last minute penalty save for Watford against Leicester in the 2013 Championship playoff without the same crazy scenes!.

Jun Fukuda was fired by CMFC one year ago. The start of CMFC's annus horribilis .
Meanwhile Phrae went top of T2. Chiang Mai United won at last. Five T2 teams crashed out of the REVP League Cup. Chainat remain unbeaten. In T1 Lamphun Warriors moved up to Chiang Mai and put four past Rayong. And Simon (miracles do happen) was this week's prediction king.
The picture is from yesterday's Big White Cocks v Wild Rabbits REVO Cup tie.
