The Farangutans entered a football competition for 16 teams. All the other teams were Thai and came from local Universities. They were all under 25, fit, strong and trained every day. The Farangutans were older, drank heavily and smoke so could not compete on fitness with any of the teams. Needless to say we did not advance from the first group of 4, but, did not disgrace ourselves. In all the games we competed and lasted well and only missed out on getting a result by the odd goal, losing 1-0 and 2-1. These photos were from the last game which we lost 5-2, however, 2 of the opposition goals, our defence claimed, were offside. Also, we had Jamie sent off for fighting after one of the opposition players feigned death and injury by rolling over and over and screaming in supposed agony until he conned the referee into giving a free kick. So, not a bad result and it did not dampen the teams desire to commiserate with each other over a few pints of Heineken at the JJ Market.
