Chiang Mai FC rasande - nära upplopp.

Nu har jag lite mer underlag, speciellt bilder, och kan blogga om vad som hände i Chiang Mai FC:s senaste match, som gäller gruppspel för uppflyttning till högre division.

Avslutningen blev exceptionell; Vid full tid stod det 1-1. I sista tilläggsminuten gjorde Chiang Mai vad alla trodde segermålet 2-1.

Medans alla jublade, inte minst spelarna, gjorde motståndarna mål till 2-2. Under vilda protester från hemma-spelare, -ledare och -supportrar.

Domaren hade blåst igång spelet medans tre CM-spelare var utanför plan och jublade, vilket överrumplande gav gästerna ett snabbt anfall mot ett decimerat lag och gjorde sitt andra mål och matchen var slut.

Stor kalabalik. Spelare och ledare var likt galna och upproriska mot domarna, en del supportrar stormade planen. Domaren var hotfullt omringad, fick föremål kastade mot sig. Polis och hemmalagets ledare agerade tamt. Efter lång kalabalik inne på planen kom domarteamet till slut ner i skyddande omklädningsrummet. Den  som skyddade domaren på väg ut var CMFC:s högste ledare, de tre militärpoliserna lommade lamt efter.

 

Undrar om det blir efterräkningar till domarbeslutet, det vill säga att han blåste igång spelet innan alla spelarna var på plats. Något sådant har nog aldrig hänt förut. Only in Thailand.

 

Domaren, inringad till höger, blåser igång spelet medans tre hemmaspelare fortfarande är utanför plan och jublar.

CityNews – ‘The Tigers’ Chiang Mai FC played a home match against ‘The White Elephants’ Trat FC, the 2nd runner-up

in the AIS Regional League, Central and Eastern Region, on 3rd November at 700 Year Stadium.

Angry fans

 

Chiang Mai, playing 4-3-3, were looking to score goals though it was Trat who took the lead when in the 15^th minute Wutthichai A-sucheewa collected the ball after it hit the crossbar and put it in the back of the net. In the last minute of the first half, CMFC equalised when flamboyant winger, Warut Sabso, fired the ball into the back of the net.

 

In the second half Chiang Mai had much of the possession though couldn’t capitalize on it. It took until the second minute of injury for the home side to get a goal. Cameroonian striker Aboubacar Sanogo Junior, flicked the ball over the keeper’s head to make it 2-1.

As Chiang Mai fans and players celebrated, with staff on the field and few Chiang Mai players left on the field, the referee started the match again. During the confusion Wutthichai A-Sucheewa equalised scored for Trat FC. The referee blew the final whistle, 2-2.

 

After the game, CMFC players, staff, and the president tried to speak to the ref and within no time Chiang Mai fans had also invaded the pitch. Chairs, bottles of water, cans of beer, and even dustbins were thrown at the referee, some of which hit the man in green. After the game hundreds of fans surrounded the exits to the ground waiting for the referee, though he didn’t make an appearance.

 

“My lads have done a very great job. However, this is the worst refereeing I have ever seen in my life. How can he start the game with some of my players celebrating the goal? I am utterly lost for words,” said Chaiyong Khumpiam, the Chiang Mai Manager.

Chiang Mai FC have now played 5 games and have 5 points. leaders Rayong FC and Srisaket United have 10 points. The next game will be 10th November against Rayong FC at 700 Year Stadium. Kick-off 6 p.m.
