Kenny Dougall

You are on the coast in a tourist hotspot

This is deepest darkest Thailand

Buriram is a small city in Isan, the mainly rural northeastern region of Thailand, which is the largest, most populous and least visited in the country. Many of the street vendors and tuk tuk/taxi drivers in Bangkok come from this poorer part of Thailand, and some of the most famous Thai dishes, like papaya salad, come from here as well. Unless you are a very serious slow traveler, a short stay of 1 or 2 nights is sufficient to enjoy the main highlights in the area. The main tourist attraction in the province are the ruins of 1,000-year-old Phanom Rung, the most important Khmer temple complex in Thailand, and we strongly recommend also visiting the nearby Prasat Hin Meuang Tam, another exceptional ancient Khmer temple. If you’re in Buriram on a weekend, be sure to attend a soccer match at the Buriram FC stadium, the most modern in the country, and enjoying the laidback provincial atmosphere on Walking Street -weekend’s night market-. Buriram is visited by very few foreigners, so while strolling around don’t be surprised if you notice a lot of curious local glances on you, or even if some locals -especially students- strike a friendly interrogation in English and end up asking for the mandatory selfie. Certainly the much hyped “Land of smiles” slogan is not that true in many tourist spots in Thailand, but rest assured that in non touristy Buriram you’ll get tons of warm smiles. With a poor public transport system, getting around Buriram province can be a headache if you don’t have your own vehicle, so the best option may be to rent a car or motorcycle in the city, since there is not much traffic and the roads are good.
Think I might go for a game bud 👍
 
Dougall's missus has given somewhat of an update on her YouTube video today. Doesn't say "We're off to Thailand" but with the rumours, it looks pretty likely that Dougall is going imminently.

Starts talking about it at 3:40. Go any earlier and she's waffling about how nice Turmeric Coffee is...

Laughable 🤦. ...and what is wrong with her left hand ?
 
Her YouTube channel is a niche woman's lifestyle channel with over 320,000 subscribers her most-watched video has 7.9 million views.
YouTube pays about $ 3000 per million views. So her most popular video will have generated in the region of $ 23,000 in revenue
approx £ 18,000. There is serious money to be made if she can continue to grow her subscribers as they will watch her older videos, which may be
part of the reason for Kenny moving in that it will create new topics and ideas for videos.
Rather put me knob in a Magimix than watch that nonsense
 
Sounds to me he’s said he’s going at the end of the season no matter what and we are letting him go now if possible. Looks like we have a replacement lined up too so just waiting for the chain to move
 
After living in Asia for 12 years I quite like a bit of rain!
..
and as you know it doesn’t come much wetter than good old Singapore,and not forgetting Ipoh( Malaysia) where you set your clock for 4pm when it is almost certain to rain.Ipoh does do brilliant Satay mind you( but not the intestine version🤮) and like Penang is a foodies heaven.

In Jomtien now mate in Thailand - about 7 or 8 miles (where we live) south of Pattaya.

Nice place - far enough away from carnage and close enough if you fancy it 🤣
 
You wouldnt call me an utter flapper to my face but that is by the by...you are part of the little old Blackpool brigade who thinks we belong in League 1 and are lucky to be playing teams like Lincoln, Exeter and Stevenage...I believe we should aspire to be better than that... Rhodes staying is a bonus and Coulson may or may not be ok but we are still playing catch up from some atrocious previous windows.

You will be best to stick to happy clapping and believing that the owner and manager can do no wrong. Unlike you I wont get personal as I know you have had meltdown issues on here before and I genuinely sympathise with that. Unlike you I dont hide behind my keyboard and plenty of posters on here know who I am
I would say it to your face without a doubt.
If you want to lower debate to who's harder than who then that says more about you than me.
I don't and never have or ever will hide behind anything or anyone.
I also wouldn't lower myself to your level.

If you think KD is going to bring us up to the srandard you aspire to then you need to think again.
I get it that he's done really well for us but last season when he wasnt injured he was shown to be below the standard of many of our opponents midfielders.
That's why I'm ambivalent as to whether he stays or goes.
Can you explain fully what you want from this window in respect of who you would want in and out and how you would fund all this spending as you're obviously not happy thus far.
Players always come and go for whatever reason and KD leaving, if the rumours are actually true, isn't the end of the world.
 
The only thing I ask of Kenneth is that when he goes he posts a short message saying goodbye and if he feels it appropriate to also say thanks (not that he needs to thank us). You know, like Jerry did and as any other decent player or manager would do when they leave a club.

Imagine leaving a club with whom you have built an affinity to move on to bigger things and to not have the common decency to acknowledge your time with the club and to say a few words of farewell. I mean what kind of a snivelling cnut of a twait would do something like that?
Why would you need a goodbye from a man who you’ve presumably never spoken to?
 
Except Buriram isn't multicultural at all. A guy who comes on golf weekends with my golf society lives there and he can go weeks without seeing another foreigner. I get why he's done it but I don't think his missus understands what she's letting herself into. If they were moving to Bangkok, then fine, she would have everything a YouTube 'influencer' needs: skybars, huge designer shopping malls, a wide variety of food from all over the world, good coffee shops, top notch medical care with doctors who can speak English. But in Buriram, she'll be eating offal, shopping in 7-11, dressing from the local market and the closest thing to drinks at a skybar will be a Chang beer on a pair of step ladders.

Fingers crossed she will put some pressure on him to move to Bangkok and my local team Thai Port (who incidently battered Buriram 4-1 a month ago).
He’s into the last few years of his career, looks like he’s getting married and appears to have the chance to go earn some decent money in a country where he’s likely got some ties - given he’s Australian/Thai/Scottish.
Even if he’s on similar money in Thailand to what he’s on here he’ll lead a fantastically comfortable lifestyle and I imagine it’s a damn site more appealing playing Asian Champions League football, living in a major multicultural city and likely being a national star than playing League 1 football in Blackpool.
It’s a shame the endings been messy but ultimately whilst the club has a degree of control over the player they don’t over the spouse.
If Kennys kept the club happy and they’ve done what’s been agreed then that’s pretty much it. He’s a player not a fan and doesn’t owe the club anything other than professionalism and there doesn’t seem to be much suggesting he’s been unprofessional.
For all we know the club gave their blessing

Also a much easier trip home to Australia than the 24hrs it takes from the UK ! Likely a footballer and his wife (or anyone for that matter) will enjoy Bangkok and weekend jaunts to Singapore, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur as well as summer breaks holidaying in Bali etc over weekends in Manchester and Liverpool and a trip to the Trafford Centre

Only you and Wizzerboy defend such crap.

Wouldn't mind anyone's "sarcasm" reference to punching a woman you love?

Thought not.

Hypocrites.

Such gratuitous misogyny shames you both as fans that disgrace the club.

Rather than support Preston, I follow Blackpool as a critical friend.

With embarrassing friends like you two, Bloomfield Road requires no enemies.
🥱
