A Scotsman's opinion on all things K League
by Joe Quinn (@chiefinkorea) A belated and (thankfully?) fairly brief alternative view for you this time round. Last week Suwon FC managed a 1-0 victory at home over Busan. In truth, the game was dire until the 54th minute when Suwon FC centre forward Matheus Alves was shown a red card for a second... Continue Reading →
One of the main talking points from last weekend's fixtures was the crowds, or lack of, as attendance figures plummeted which was a shame as there were some fantastic matches not being watched! Match Day 7 gave us six home wins as Jeonbuk made it five league wins on the bounce as they sent Jeonnam... Continue Reading →
The K-League Two is proving to be every bit as unpredictable as many a fan of the bottom tier thought it would be as the opening day approached. Recently we have seen Bucheon's 100% record come to an end as they lost last week to Asan Mugunghwa, while Gwangju rather surprisingly took all 3pts at... Continue Reading →
After the first midweek round of games of the season we have an all too familiar name at the top of the table as Jeonbuk resume their mantle of "Korea's best" after a 4-0 demolition of Gyeongnam with a Kim Shin Wook double in the first 25 minutes setting them on their way.

The table has a rather strange look to it as we have Gyeongnam and Gangwon joint top after their... Continue Reading →
This week sees attention turn towards the FA Cup as the 3rd round gets underway with the K-League Two teams entering the competition and as a result we have two all K2 draws namely Busan vs Bucheon on April 3rd and tonight's 'all Citizen' clash between Seongnam vs Daejeon. Seongnam come into the... Continue Reading →
Every football fan has their favourite away ground to visit, whether you are a Celtic fan heading to Ibrox, a Kop stalwart making the trip to Old Trafford or an Ipswich fan heading with hope to Norwich. The K-League is no different and for those of a Seongnam persuasion it used to be the trip... Continue Reading →
Week 2 of K-League One was definitely a week full of surprises, shocking goalkeeping and 'super strikes' as we were served up a smorgasbord of goals with more than just a few coming from unlikely sources. Last weekend we saw the chinks in the Jeonbuk armor get ripped open, Ulsan continued to struggle to look anything... Continue Reading →
