A Scotsman's opinion on all things K League
And so began the predictable fallout from Monday night's Korean national team defeat to Sweden with some comments scoring rather high on the outrageous scale! We had everything from IKEA being targeted to suggesting widespread changes in the domestic game and some even questioning Korean fan culture. It's safe to say this isn't my first...

With it's big brother on their World Cup break it's been time for the K-League Two to showcase their talents to the football-starved Korean audience and it's safe to say that few have been disappointed. Just this past midweek we had a Memorial Day to remember as three of the four matches played had 4... Continue Reading →
THE GOAL-LESS GENERATION The Alternative View returns! Did you miss me? Even if the answer is yes, I’m sure you didn’t miss me as badly as Suwon FC missed the target at home to Gwangju last Saturday, or this whole season to be honest. 8 (EIGHT) goals in 13 (YES, THIRTEEN) league matches tells you...

48 Shades' Mark sat down with Seongnam'm towering Croatian central defender Marin Orsulic to discuss his time in Korea so far. They talked seasons past as they analysed 2017 and discussed the ideas behind his move from the sunny slopes of Cyprus to the confides of the K-League. They looked back on Marin's injury, his...

As the curtain was closing on the first 'quarter' of the K-League One the trophy engravers were all but chiseling the name of Jeonbuk Hyundai in the 2018 slot as the Chmapions raced into a 9pt lead after only eleven matches.

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.
