T&T'S Errol McFarlane says: I'm no deserter.

By KEITH CLEMENT.
11-Jan-2002 - Trinidad and Tobago's striker Errol McFarlane is upset of being labelled a deserter by national coach Rene Simoes.
Speaking from his home in Lebanon yesterday, McFarlane, who plays for Al Nejmeh in the Lebanese First Division, was responding to comments made by Brazilian Professor Simoes that he was very unhappy with the player's decision to put club before country regarding the Gold Cup.
Midfield defender Anthony Rougier of Reading in the English Second Division, who asked to be excused from the tournament, also came in for criticism from the coach.
Simoes said: "I'm very upset with what has happened. When I sent out a request I expect the player to consider the national team first."
But McFarlane replied: "It's was a mis-understanding in communication."
The first request from the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation's (TTFF) secretary Richard Groden in December, was for McFarlane's release for a friendly match in January.
"No mention was made it was for the Gold Cup tournament."
Al Nejmeh was not in agreement since they had a tight three-game schedule, but stated that they will not hesitate to release the player later in the season for official matches.
On December 17, the TTFF contacted the club again.
And on January 7, Al Nejmeh responded by stating: "Since it is now clear that your request for the release of Mr McFarlane is to participate in an official international (not friendly) games for your national team in January, Nejmeh accepts but highly appreciates a release of the player for 15 days effective January 14, to allow McFarlane to participate in two games in the Lebanese Championships on January 10 and 13 before his departure.
McFarlane was expected to return to Beirut on February 3.
McFarlane, Nejmeh's leading scorer so far this season said: "I was looking forward to participating in the Gold Cup. I was really working hard to win my place on the team. I want everyone to know I did not desert the team. It's not true."
McFarlane scored four goals in Nejmeh's five matches in his quest to book a place in the Soca Warriors squad.
Richard Fakoory, the owner of Superstar Rangers, the club that groomed McFarlane, said: "I was very surprised when I heard Errol was not accepted to join the squad."
McFarlane, the son of ex-Defence Force coach Errol McFarlane Sr, was a member of the T&T team that drew goalless with the USA in their final CONCACAF World Cup qualifying match at the Hasely Crawford Stadium in November.
