And he misses! Awful penalty, far too lax with his efforts and the crowd (well 98%) for absolutely mad

Thai captain Yooyen now and he hits the post John Terry style It’s Indonesia 3-2 Thailand with Indonesia having a kick in hand

Baggott now for Indonesia who equalised so late for Indonesia And he is just as cool as the coolest cucumber (though the keeper did get a hand to it)

Chris Etchingham @chrisetchingham.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Waris now for Thailand…. And he is cool as the coolest cucumber slotting it into the corner

Manuel Bihr makes it 1-1 (only just though) Dean James up now for Indonesia and he smashes his into the top corner no mistake

Chris Etchingham @chrisetchingham.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Indonesian captain Kevin Diiks who has been a bit of a grump all night goes first And scores, which is good because he missed his last one apparently

Mitch Baker nearly steals it at the death with a header but we’re into three minutes of injury time

Chris Etchingham @chrisetchingham.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

And they can’t because Indonesia equalise though the ironically Thai born Elkan Baggott with his first goal in four and a half years!

Chris Etchingham @chrisetchingham.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Eight minutes plus injury time for ten man Thailand to hold on here

Chris Etchingham @chrisetchingham.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Thailand take the lead! Ten minutes of extra time remaining and the Thai’s break before Chamratsamee side foots in from the edge of the area It’s Indonesia 1-2 Thailand and the stadium in Jakarta is quiet apart from a tiny corner of Thai fans

100

Chris Etchingham @chrisetchingham.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Half time in Extra Time and it’s still 1-1, ten man Thailand have fifteen minutes to hang on until penalties

100

Chris Etchingham @chrisetchingham.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Thailand equalise! Almost immediately they get themselves back into it and it’s Iklas Sanron, who’s deflection put Indonesia ahead, ghosts into the back post and fires home The stadium has gone totally flat now

100

Chris Etchingham @chrisetchingham.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

From which Indonesia score anyway! Dean James’ free kick gets a double deflection and it’s Indonesia 1-0 Thailand and the Thai’s have a man fewer

100

Chris Etchingham @chrisetchingham.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Indonesia think they should have a penalty. Their player is brought down right on the edge of the box and Mickelsen for Thailand gets a second yellow & is off, but it’s just a free kick

Shoutout to Indonesian forward Mitchell Baker who just has Mitch on the back of his shirt Big lad too, looks a real handful

One thing I really like about international football is the diaspora. I know there’s good and bad sides to it but I love that someone called Luke Vickery, who was born in Hawaii and plays in the A League gets to represent Indonesia

This sort of concern, by the way, is another reason allowing sovereign nations to own football clubs is bad.

Definitely, I’ve even seen people comparing it to what happened to Jesus and that the PL will shoot themselves in the foot if they relegate City as nobody would watch it anymore

He was picked up by another caller for just having such a mad thought and he responded with “well the Premier League are trying to massacre City”. People have lost their minds over this

It seems that the book that City are having thrown at them is more The Complete Works Of Shakespeare, rather than a Mr Man one
