Belgian Groundhopper hits Thailand
Pat is as mad as a hatter. He's a Belgian groundhopper, a person who gets his jollies from travelling round Europe taking in games at different stadiums.
He was recently in Thailand and took in a couple of games there. First up he went to see Pattaya United against BEC Tero then followed that up with Navy Rayong v Pattaya United.
Next month he is going to England to catch four games. Forest Green, Wigan Athletic, Everton and Tranmere.
My wife thinks I'm bonkers 'cos I take her to see Persikota or Gombak United!
There's a whole world of nutters out there. Check out the fruitcakes at European Football Weekends who go to see European Football. At the weekends. And love it.
Makes you wonder whether there is anybody sad enough to do an Asian Football Weekends. Meet up for example in KL, Bangkok, whatever, flights are cheap as chips. Alright missus, just off to Bangkok to see BEC Tero play TTM Phichet for the weekend. Don't wait up, love.
Of course should anyone pecieve this post as an attack on these fine and honourable gentlemen, who love football and beer passionately, please bear in mind I did not attend a Persikota game last Saturday and tonight I will not be attending Persipura's first ACL game. Oh no siree, I have a life you know...
Then again I did take sadness to new depths yesterday, watching Cambodia v Philippines in the Futsal then meeting up with Mark Redshaw and learning that yes, I had seen his old man play.

A unique man and writing style. I had visions of you jetting off to East irianjaya for the day to watch a game. And you would!
If it's any consolation, I drove to 4-hours each way to KL and back to watch a goalless draw in the AFC Cup between Selangor and Bihn Duong. I, too, believe I have a life!!!
