Bangkok Day 3
Posted at 02:04.26 and filed under Singapore, Visual OrgyI thought I would post up the match photos first. The touristy photos those can come abit later. Anyway i wrote this on ClubSnap forums, so basically just transplanted over
Was one of the 100 odd fans who made their way down, though i travelled on my own. With the bitter result from the 1st leg, this match promised fireworks. Sadly i only have my 17-85 f/4-5.6 and my 50mm f/1.8. So, alot of cropping for the action shots, not to mention the blurred motion. The stadium was located within a stone throw’s distance from MBK.
Walking towards the stadium
How come nobody sell singapore flag? heh
The Thais were all ready to party and cheer the home team on
Of course, there is the small problem of the mounted police watching over them
And they are really prepared for the worst
Everyone was trying to surge in, that was ard 5.45pm
They saved 6 rows for us, with the border row free..
And the mata (who has a penchance for tight tight uniforms)
Yellow Sea!
The red patch amongst the yellow sea
2 or 3 bodies i think
Dunno whose lens
Tourist Policeman
Military Policeman
Lionel Lewis emerges for warm up
Eventually the rest of the team emerged
To the joy of the fans
Stadium really full of fans
and mata
Almost ready to start
Since when we sang Majulah Singapura with hand on chest? Ho Peng Kee oso
Thai anthem played
Final huddle
All set!
Eh! Sit wrong area lah!
Din take many shots in 2nd half, concentrated on cheering (and cursing)
Ridhuan tearing down the flank
Noh Alam Shah in action
I call him Air Alam, heh
The Lions equalised and the Thai fans started to kancheong
Victory!
At the final whistle, the players went wild
So did the fans
Gracious in defeat, me and the thai official mascot. If u see his security pass, it’s him in the costume too. =)
Trophy Presentation
The police let the thai fans down to the field but not us, we had to wait for the stadium to clear before we could leave.
Last shot of the night
Next day at Bangkok Airport, after I checked in at Row D for Tiger Airways, I remembered that the Lions are flying SQ at ard the same time and i decided to try my luck at Row K. Lucky me.
And before they had their pre-flight briefing
I managed to get a shot with Shi Jiayi
And Khairul Amri
Did i mention the trophy as well? heh
The end
Great pictures! What model of camera do you use?
I have been to Thailand so many times, but I have never seen cops on horses! The horsies look so cute with that red strip down their head.
lol at the singing of our national anthem with hands on the chest. I have never seen that either.
The funniest picture has to be the one at the airport, with the Thai uniform dude holding the trophy for you all. What is THAT about? Damn funny!
