rooster59 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 “Philip Roller” : a new face to watch in Thai football Philip Roller, the 23-year old Thai-German right-back of Ratchaburi Mitr Phol FC, has recently been recruited into the 25-member of the King’s Cup national football team by the team’s head coach, Milovan Rajevac. Roller who arrived in Thailand just a couple of months ago and only played four games in the Thai League with Ratchaburi Mitr Phol FC, said he was very proud to play in the Thai national team. “I called my family to tell them about this and they are very proud of me, especially my mother because she is Thai,” said the young right-back. He vowed to train hard and to do his best and to show his worth, firstly with the Ratchaburi Mitr Phol FC, and eventually the national team so he would be able to stay long there.

Bredbury Blue Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 ^"its good supporting 'local' football its healthy for the game" I like to think that EVERYBODY on this forum can agree with that. There's a lot to be said for going to watch your local or park football team (woodley athletic, hyde united snd stockport county in my case).

I agree mate, but on the other thread, it is being slagged for being a waste of time. (game against N Korea just started on Thairath TV) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(game against N Korea just started on Thairath TV) yeah one year south korea sent the u 21/olympic team and they were decent, they had some proper footballers, next year think they got through to the olypic semis, but that day the stad was virtually empty with no tv or paper coverage. as for 'a waste of time' same arguement as for any international friendly, me i'm of the school that international managers and teams need time togetether making it useful not a waste of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
