Ok, I might be exaggerating just a little bit but the noise made by the Bangkok Glass fans was enough to give this little girl a grimace. Her mum had to lead her away from the stands for awhile.

Meantime, Bangkok Glass fans were cheering hard for their team to get the equalizer, which they did! The Thais are a very passionate bunch. And why not? That’s what fans are for, getting behind their team in the most vocal fashion. It worked magic that night.

Check out a selection of the action at Jalan Besar Stadium between Bangkok Glass and South Melbourne: Penalty kick, headed goal, yellow cards… It’s all part of the game.

Here’s another picture from the RHB Singapore Cup Quarter-Final 2nd Leg between Bangkok Glass and South Melbourne.

This time it was the Bangkok Glass striker who takes the limelight as he beats his marker on the dribble and takes the ball into the penalty area. Did he manage to score? He didn’t. He lost the ball to another defender.

To add to the story, a fellow spectator who sat behind me lamented about how useless the No.9 was throughout the game. Translating from the Chinese dialect of Hokkien, he said that these foreign imports have no skill, they only look good because they have the physique. It was quite entertaining to hear his ‘live commentary’ throughout the game as he made negative comments on every missed opportunities from both teams and bad decisions by the referee. They were however all said in good humour I believe.

But to give the striker credit, he did pounce on an opportunity to score the equalising goal that tied the score at 3-3 towards the end. The pity was that the ‘live commentator’ did not get to see it as he had already left his seat.

I was at the RHB Singapore Cup Quarter-Final 2nd leg between Bangkok Glass and South Melbourne at the Jalan Besar Stadium last Friday. It was goal galore as the match finished 3-3. However it was Bangkok Glass that made it through to the Semi-Final as they won 6-4 on aggregate.

Seated near one of the corner flags, I was fortunate to snap this shot as the Melbourne player takes a corner kick.
