Farangutans

I have been supporting and occasionally playing for the Farangutans. A team of expats from Switzerland, Poland, Canada, France and of course the UK. We play in various competitions against local teams with mixed fortunes, some wins and some losses. We do find that the Thai referees are very biased against us and do give some frustrating and totally incorrect decisions. But, its fun and they are a good bunch of lads.
The teams name is from the word farang which is the description used for westerners - tall with long noses. However, I personally feel that it could become a word that is derogatory like other words that describe races and cultures. We will see.
