Doh let facts stand in the way of healthy bias. One day he'll sign your flag.I dont think so. He's showing he's better than this level. Cant say i wasn't expecting this idiotic comment but not so soon into the season *sigh*
"Idiotic" is indulging in the madness of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results... or better saying "no support from me " because yuh doh like de selection of the National team. I wish Kenwyne well, hopefully he tear up de Championship, but he's proven at three different stops now that he's not a Premiership player. Initial success at Sunderland has given way to inconsistency and mediocrity. Doh shoot de messenger.
Let's leave out his success at Stoke. Or his performances in Europe. Let's ignore his scoring rate being the best at the club even when he was only getting pigeon sweats.
Let's only focus on a bad last season at Stoke and pretend that's his whole career.
Meanwhile, even by your own estimation, 'mediocrity' would suggest that he's a middling, average Prem player. So yeah.
Facebook post from his brother Michael (August 15th)
My big brother Kenwyn passed away this morning in Brooklyn at 3.00 am today after a prolonged battle with cancer. I had the amazing experience of talking with him in a conference call with my sister Earlyn last night round 9.00pm and to hear him say goodbye and thanks to all for the full life that he lived mostly in giving all that he had to people, body heart and soul. I am so grateful for having him in my life and for all that he has been and done for me and our family. He was collective to the end. Humble, grateful, accepting and peaceful. I have learnt so much from this life and talking with him the last two nights has made me so much stronger and complete.
Thank you Kenwyn Cooper for giving us so much of you and making us understand even more what this existence is all about. Rest in Peace big brothe
Truly incredible that he had a chance to say goodbye on his terms. Rest in Peace breds, and Godspeed
I am not a believer in one size fits all policies. We expect to slice away policies implemented in America or North Korea for that fact and just paste them onto our own problems. Fact is, we dont see the countless other variables, that go into supporting a particular policy vs another.
One size doh fit all, but wrong is wrong.
I concur, but in our non-utopian society, wrong is more relative; rather than just being wrong. The same wrong, does get played out like it right, until somebody say it wrong. Wrong, then, must be a state of mind and one that relies on a societies maturity.
Staking people or poking out their eyes, for reading books (acts carried out by the Catholic Church) was not deemed wrong, until some guy decided it was. Until then, it was considered a very right cause of action to battle the blasphemers.
My concern for the 2006 warriors wasn't about right and wrong but instead, I wondered if they could separate the difference between what is perceived as wrong and what they can prove is wrong. And if they have to throw their dockets in to establish this wrong and to what degree of a certain return they might imagine.
Whilst not wanting to derail this thread into philosophy, you commit an equivocation fallacy by assuming perceptions of "wrong" are the same as some action actually being "wrong" (i.e. in some objective sense). Context is the key distinction here, not perception, for whether an action can be considered "wrong" in some intrinsic manner. I would still perceive these actions as wrong if I was placed in the Medieval context, and some (probably myself included) would argue that a number of acts are wrong regardless of context, although we might try to ex-post justify it.
Basically, wrong isn't a state of mind imo. We all have a concept of 'wrong', which is obviously contingent on our mind, but it points to a set of behaviours that some individuals, or groups, or societies, or the whole human race believe best to be avoided as they harm ourselves in some internal or societal manner.

I personally would welcome a team with some diversity; bigger pool + more exposure = bigger fan base. Could be a slippery slope though or a golden egg, if handled correctly. IMO - Big Biz loves a story, something different, a cause!
when you say slippery slope, what do you mean?
i hear he get ban for spying... he is reincarnated as bakes though...
Big interview: Dennis Lawrence - from World Cup legend to Everton FC coachNice read, nice interview! Everton deserves a post. IMO. Dennis doing things and we does still track shitty Sunderland and Stoke and Cardiff because Trinbagonians involved. Well Everton FC here we come. Great Foc&$ing job so far tallest; that victory against Arsenal is even so much sweeter the fact that one of our own was directly involved! Go Everton! (always liked lukaku and miralles anyway! And now Martinez gets a feather in his cap. not cause he hire we own but because he recognized from early Tallest propensity to Defensive awareness!
By David Prentice (Liverpool Echo)
Heard the one about the World Cup legend who is now a coach at Everton – thanks to the input of an Anfield folk hero?
If it all sounds like a tall story, April 1 was yesterday – but the man at the heart of the tale does stand six feet seven inches.
Dennis Lawrence is one of Roberto Martinez’s trusted right-hand men.
He has worked with the Blues boss since his formative days at Swansea – and Martinez has enormous respect for his work.
“I have huge, huge admiration for what Dennis has done so far,” he said. “I know he will carry on being a very influential figure at Everton.”
But whatever impact Dennis makes at Goodison in the future, it will struggle to compare to the reputation he enjoys in his native Trinidad and Tobago.
A tiny Caribbean nation of 1.5million inhabitants, Trinidad shook up the world in 2006 when they qualified for the World Cup finals in Germany – and Lawrence was the man whose goal made history.
It was also the first time that Lawrence realised he could affect matters on a football pitch with words rather than actions – after he stood up to legendary coach Leo Beenhakker.
Lawrence was the man whose downwards header against Bahrain propelled Trinidad to the finals, but the centre-back who admits his aerial ability “wasn’t the best” shouldn’t even have been in the Middle East.
Sitting back from a break in training at Finch Farm he explained: “I’ve never really told this story before, but in the last 10 minutes of the first leg – which finished 1-1 – I felt my hamstring tighten.
“We had a flight straight after the game directly to Bahrain and we went back to the hotel to pack up and I will never forget it. I came down the lift and was carrying out my luggage and our coach, Leo Beenhakker, was standing in the lobby.
“He said to me ‘Dennis I need to have a word with you.

Tiresais Calls press conference over post-editing furore
LONDON - Tiresais held a press conference today to explain his most recent intervention on the Soca Warriors forum. Musing on his so far short tenure, he had some harsh words for his critics
"What I did, I did for the good of the forum! Sometimes you just have to make a change and take the flak that comes with it"
Residents have been split down the middle on this most recent crisis to affect the Moderator. Annie said;
"Y U SO SERIOUS"
In response to growing criticism of his handling of the crisis, Tiresais claimed the heading was an eyesore;
"When you're wandering down the street, you don't want to have to explain this title to your kids. We in society need to do what's best for full-disclosure, the English Language, and the Trinibagonian community at large."
Time will tell if his polls will rebound from this.
So what other titles are you going to change? And are you also going to go around "correcting" everyone's "grammar"? People can't post in dialect any more?
What was done was done for the greater good of humanity, when subjects and verbs fail to agree there is a threat to syntactic harmony. Draconian as it may seem, redaction was preferred over reaction, as these pre-emptive measures will prevent the deployment of Weapons of Parse Destruction against our community.
Nice dive by Eto'o. I only give him a 8 for style though.
Dive, followed by a red for Kaboul, who was surprisingly calm, I woulda get sanctioned for referee abuse after that.
I don't know if he's always been guilty of doing this... but is something he's been doing all season and the first time I really take notice. Very disappointed in him as a player for his simulations.
Does Suarez still player at Liverpool.
Does Suarez still player at Liverpool.
I'm really not sure what your point is... not that you ever have one. All you ever try to do is engage in some kinda tit for tat. Ritalin and Adderall should help with your focus. Suarez hasn't been accused of diving just once in almost two years... and that was against Villa this seaon. Video evidence is inconclusive. The mention of Suarez is misguided for other reasons... more than any other Liverpool fan on this board, and on most others, I have been harshest on Suarez for everything from the Ghana handball, to diving to the controversies with Evra and Ivanovic, so there is no inconsistency on my part. I have been equally critical of Young and Bale for diving and simulation as well.
Leh we see who go throw they hat in, all de people who had problems with Bakes should apply now.God forbid i hope u throw your hat in,u have problems with everybody.
