Oman fancy South East Asia
According to the Thai FA website Thailand will play Oman in a friendly at the Thai Japanese Stadium on 27 December.
Which is odd. On a number of levels.
First the Singaporeans thought they were playing Oman on 28 & 31 December.
Unless Oman will finish the game in Bangkok then hotfoot it down to Singapore with barely time for a shower?
And secondly haven't the Thais 'suspended' assistant coach Steve Darby? And various assistant coaches quit following the SEA Games?
Third. Is Bryan Robson going to ditch a family Christmas just for one friendly?
And one more thing. There is a pre season tournament going on in Bangkok at the same time featuring Muang Thong United, Thai Port, Chonburi and Bangkok Glass. Four teams that would be expected to provide the bulk of any national squad.
All seems kinda messy but perhaps a chance for the Thai media to prove their worth by picking and training the squad themselves?
Oman will play Indonesia 6 January in an Asian Cup qualifier if they're not too knackered after their lunatic schedule
