New! First Leg Reviews - 13. Chonburi FC (Dale Farrington): 2022
Here's my summing up of Chonburi's terrific first leg and hopes for the rest of the season.
Q - Overall, how satisfied are you with your team's performance over the first half of the season?
Very satisfied. This is our best squad for a number of years and - apart from one or two wobbles - they have performed well. I'm really looking forward to the second leg and hope we can build on the solid foundations laid in the last few months.
Q - What has been the highlight of your season so far?
The 5-1 win at Muang Thong Utd was extremely pleasing. We've had a torrid time there over the years so this victory came as a lovely surprise. I'm only disappointed that I wasn't there to witness it and revel in the occasion.
Q - And the low point?
Obviously not taking into account the tragic off field events, losing in both cup ties at Nakhon Pathom Utd. In spite of our lofty league position, the two domestic knockout competitions still represent our best oportunity of winning a trophy. Also, the first fifteen minutes against Buriram Utd. We were three down and paying them far too much respect. I felt they were there for the taking that day. Our fightback proved that, but just fell short.
Q - Apart from your own, which is the best team you have seen so far this season?
I'd have to say Buriram Utd. For fifteen minutes, at least.
Q – And the worst?
Us and Port. It wasn't the fault of the two teams, but the conditions under which the match was played were ridiculous. The Thai League management really needs to get to grips with these types of games and have clear guidelines as when to call them off. It was farcical and makes it hard to take the league seriously.
Q - What are your hopes for the rest of the season for
a) your club?
To pick up where we left off in November. There is absolutely no reason why we can't push on from here. I'm under no illusions that catching Buriram Utd will be a very tough task, but I'd love to see us having a go, playing entertaining football in the process.
b) the league in general?
I hope they can sort out the TV deal. The current one doesn't really seem to benefit anyone (although I'm sure someone is delighted with it...). The league needs promoting properly and showcasing games on television is a big way to do this.
Q - Please sum up your season so far with song lyrics or by song title
'Enjoy Yourself" by The Specials. I'm really getting a buzz from our performances this year and am determined to enjoy every minute of it (see below). After many lean years, this has been the most exciting season since 2014. The recent, untimely, death of Terry Hall also makes this a poignant choice. RIP, Terry.
Q – Anything else you’d like to add?
Treasure the times you spend watching Thai football with your family and friends. The domestic game can be hard to love at times - and we've all had periods when we've been disillusioned - but, for all its faults, there really is nothing like it. The positives far outweigh the negatives.
New! Interview With Diego Bardanca: 2023
My exclusive interview with Chonburi's mid season loan signing, Diego Bardanca
I started in the main square of my village, Villarrodrigo in the city of León, Spain, playing with my brother and my cousin. My first team was San Lorenzo when I was 8 years old. Then Puente Castro (10/14 years), where both, my cousin and brother also played. When I was 14 years old, I left home and signed for the academy of famous RC Deportivo de La Coruña and this was the beginning of my journey.
How did you get the chance to move to Thailand?
Thanks to the interest of Buriram Utd.
What was your time like at Buriram Utd?
To be honest, it was marvellous. I had the best experience of my football career there. I played in the Champions League, won titles, had amazing owners, great team mates, top fans and a great stadium. As a club it is very demanding. You have to win every game, you have to give your best every training session. Every day is a test, but this is something that I really love because when all players push each other to be better, the team gets better.
How did you get the opportunity to move to Chonburi?
To be honest, I didn’t play too much in the last part of the season and some important options became available to me. I thought about them deeply and which option could be the best for me at this time. And I decided to choose Chonburi.
Why did you choose to come to Chonburi?
As I said in my presentation to the club, Chonburi is having a magnificent season. They also play attractive football. And the main reason - they really want me here.
What did you know about our club before you came here?
I had really good references for the club, everyone has very good things to say about Chonburi. It is a club that is growing a lot year by year, with a solid infrastructure.
What has impressed you about Chonburi so far?
The welcome from everyone has been very warm. I can’t complain about anything. One other thing that I really like is, they trust in the academy. I love to play with young players.
How have you settled in?
It’s been very easy, to be honest. There are really good guys here, humble and hard working. It's been very easy for me to step in .
What are the biggest differences you've noticed between Buriram Utd and Chonburi?
If we are going direct to the point, the target is the same at Buriram, Chonburi, Lokomotiv Tashkent, Levante or wherever. We try to win games. That’s the target in football, win as much as you can with your methods. There are more similarities than differences around the world.
What are your expectations for the rest of the season?
It would be amazing to finish the league in our current position, but experience has taught me that second rounds are tougher than first one. We will try to give our best. Personally I would like to help the team on and off the pitch to achieve the goals. And add value to the squad.
Which Thai teams have impressed you?
Chonburi is one of them. They are brave, they take risks when they play and they have personality. I like that.
Which players in T1 have impressed you?
It would be a bit unfair to answer, as I play against really good players, but I have also played with some of the best. I saw them every day on the training pitch and it was amazing. There are pivotal Thai players, future Thai talents and key foreigners.
How does the standard of the Thai league compare to other leagues you've played in?
I have played in different countries - Finland, Poland, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain and Uzbekistan - and I can’t compare because every country has something different. I think football is getting better year by year in Thailand and that’s the most important thing, to make progress. You can see national team getting better. League teams are trying to improve their facilities and pitches. There are good Thai players and foreigners. There's still a long way to go, but they are getting there step by step.
Do you have a message for the Chonburi fans?
I’m not a big fan of talking off the field, I like to work hard and do my talking on the pitch. But we are going to try our best every game, to make them feel proud of us. I would like to see every fan going back home happy after every game happy. That’s our target and also responsibility. Let’s fight together, let’s dream together. Going in the same way, we are stronger.

New! First Leg Reviews - 12. Nakhon Ratchasima (Charlie Clough): 2022
Nakhon Ratchasima central defender, Charlie Clough shares his views on the team's performance over the first half of the season and looks forward to the second leg.
Q - Overall, how satisfied are you with your team's performance over the first half of the season?
Slightly disappointed in how we performed during the first leg. Whole new squad of players except 3/4 so that could be a factor, but I thought we started the season well. Compared to last season we lack that little bit of experience and ‘know how’ to get results.
Q - What has been the highlight of your season so far?
Highlight of the season I would say is beating Chonburi at home. We were going on a winless streak and to get that just before the end of the first leg was massive!
Q - And the low point?
Low point has got to be playing away to Lampang on the worst pitch I have ever seen. It was completely flooded and the referee continued the game. Up there with one of the least enjoyable games I have played in.
Q - What are your hopes for the rest of the season for your club?
I’d say for us as a club to become more consistent in our results. We need to collect as many points as we can early in the second leg so we are away from the drop zone towards the end of the season.
Q - Please sum up your season so far with song lyrics or by song title

New! First Leg Reviews - 11. Chiang Rai Utd (Alec Peeples): 2022
Today it's the turn of Chiang Rai Utd fan, Alec Peeples to pass his verdict on his team's first leg performance and look forward to the rest of the campaign.
Q - Overall, how satisfied are you with your team's performance over the first half of the season?
Hard to complain too much about sitting 6th in the table, I guess. Things could always be worse. That said we played terrible football and got handled very easily by all the other 'big' teams. Not many positives to take other than the performances from Victor and Diego. Two great defenders that I'm very pleased to have with us this season.
Not sure I have one. We've generally just been uninspiring, played boring football, and haven't produced any really memorable perforamance or results.
Q - And the low point?
Probably the last month of the leg. Losing 4-1 to Buriram. Then losing in the cup to Ayutthaya. Then losing 3-1 to BG. Just a pretty bad run of results. I was glad for the break.
Q - Apart from your own, which is the best team you've seen so far this season?
Buriram of course. Terrific football and their position in the table shows how much better they've been than everyone else.
Q – And the worst?
Khon Kaen Utd. Bad football. Poor attitudes. Not a fan!
Q - What are your hopes for the rest of the season for
a) your club?
I hope Bonilla is the solution to the striker issue we've had since the decline of Bill. We have been toothless in attack for a long, long time.
b) the league in general?
My biggest complaint about the league at the moment is its broadcast. I have watched barely any Thai football this season outside of the CRUTD matches I've attended. AIS is horrible and I'd rather not deal with shoddy streams pumped full of gambling ads. Obviously that won't get addressed in 1/2 a season but it's hard to come up with any other suggestions when I can't even see the product.

New! First Leg Reviews - 10. BG Pathum Utd (Khun Obb): 2022
Q - Overall, how satisfied are you with your team's performance over the first half of the season?
Seeing how we ended last season with head coach Teguramori, I’d have to say I am disappointed with BG Pathum United’s performance thus far. Many people, myself included, expected us to be in a two-horse race with Buriram United for all domestic titles - that did not happen and we’re 15 points behind the leaders, which is just sad.
Q - What has been the highlight of your season so far?
Being at the Saitama Stadium 2002, seeing BG Pathum United take on Urawa Reds in the AFC Champions League quarter-finals is definitely the highlight of my first leg. But if we’re counting only domestic competitions, it would have to be beating Buriram United in the Thailand Champions Cup at the beginning of the season. Everyone at the club was so optimistic after that win.
Q - And the low point?
Losing to Ratchaburi FC away. We were completely outplayed throughout the entire game. We barely had a shot on target. Everything that could have gone wrong - went wrong. The mood on the bus home, and around the club that entire week was simply toxic. Just recalling that memory makes me depressed.
Q - Apart from your own, which is the best team you've seen so far this season?
Hands down Chonburi FC. I love the energy and the fighting spirit of this squad. I watched Chonburi FC live twice this season; the first was the opening day win over BG Pathum United, and the second game was the 5-1 win over Muangthong United. What a performance!
Q – And the worst?
Chiangrai United when they came to BG Pathum United in the final fixture of the first leg. They didn’t show anything special apart from one good pass that they scored from and in the end, we beat them 3-1.
Q - What are your hopes for the rest of the season for
a) your club?
Reach the finals of the two domestic cup competitions. Winning the FA Cup would be nice.
b) the league in general?
I want to see a good race for the top-half clubs to get into the second and third-place spots.
Q - Please sum up your season so far with song lyrics or by song title
I hope this old train breaks down
Then I could take a walk around
And, see what there is to see
And time is just a melody
From the song “Breakdown” by Jack Johnson. This is my second year working full-me for BG Pathum United and another year where things go by so fast. Being a fan of the club, I’m not sure I can process the emotional rollercoaster I’ve just sat through (and there’s still halfway to go!). A little breather just to enjoy the moment would be nice.
Q – Anything else you’d like to add?
Thank you for sending out these questions, I really enjoy what fans of other clubs have to say. See you at the final game of the season at BG Stadium?
New! First Leg Reviews - 9. Chonburi FC (Tim Spear): 2022
Here are the thoughts of Chonburi fan, Tim Spear, as he looks back over the first leg and ahead to the rest of the season.
Q - And the low point?
Low point, obviously the drinking culture of the club, and how this was handled internally. Unfortunately, the people in the club who were heavily involved still hold a lot of sway and are still around. This culture should clearly be eradicated. It has no place in the modern game, but it caused deaths, which should be unforgivable.
Q - Apart from your own, which is the best team you've seen so far this season?
Haven't seen many away games, but Bangkok United were the best organised team to visit Chonburi Stadium.
Q – And the worst?
Lampang were very weak.
Q - What are your hopes for the rest of the season for
a) your club?
We have done well so far, apart from the cups, which means the rest of the season will be a bit flat. To be honest, I just want to see us play well. And with Dennis back, plus Alves and Channarong, we could be in for some exciting games.
b) the league in general?
I have no real interest in the league. Buriram Utd will be champions.
Q - Please sum up your season so far with song lyrics or by song title
Song? OMG! "With a little bit of this and a little bit of that" springs to mind. I never thought for one second I would recall the 'Birdie Song'!
Q – Anything else you’d like to add?
I'm looking forward to the end of the season, when we will see you back here. (Aw. Thank you -ed)
