« on: July 12, 2005, 05:00:19 PM »

We play a tournament and not one goal from our starting forwards.Could you believe this.If I was outside like Jamaica I too will believe that Trinidad don't deserve to be in the HEX infront of JA and Hon we may even venture to say Canada and Cuba.It is through the draw and not our football merit .Mexico was in de same group and NO ONE will question thier merit .

Football / Whose The Worst Player To Put On T&T Colours

« on: July 11, 2005, 10:44:54 AM »

I've been following(aware) of our football since '73 and Cyd Gray gets my vote.He beat back Derek Lee who use to play for Army .At least once in a few games Lee may do something good.
I've seen a lot of mistakes with our ddefenders like Clayton Morris back slicing a boom kick into his own net in a Shell final against Jamaica but I've NEVER seen a Trinidad defender do what Gray did last night in misjudging a waist high ball completely.It brought back Under 14 memories when you see a sh!t player on de ball.

Football / Jason Norville on trial

« on: July 08, 2005, 10:56:07 AM »

Trinidad and Tobago international Jason Norville has returned to Colchester for a trial.

The English-born striker linked up with Phil Parkinson's men on Monday and has spent the past week training with the Us.

Norville, 21, played a reserve game for Colchester at the end of last season as the club attempted to negotiate with Watford over a loan deal. However the deal was not completed before the transfer deadline.

Colchester kick off their pre-season preparations next week with visits to Dulwich Hamlet (12 July) and Tiptree United (13 July) and Norville is expected to feature

Football / Adams warns Ince

« on: July 08, 2005, 10:51:35 AM »

Coventry manager Micky Adams has warned new goalkeeper Clayton Ince he is by no means assured of the number one shirt.

The 32-year-old has signed for the Sky Blues on a free transfer from Crewe but still has plenty to prove to Adams.

"Clayton needs to improve his game but with full-time goalkeeping coaching - which he didn't have at Crewe - he can get better," Adams said.

"But I'm still in the market for a goalkeeper so he'll have to accept that if I can bring somebody in, there'll be competition for that position."

Ince added: "From a personal perspective, I just want to get that number one spot, but my target is to stay fit and get the club where they deserve to be.

"I'm hoping we can get promoted and the club reaches where it should be - and that's the top flight."

Port Vale fans,doh worry.I assure you, you will see a big improvement in Birchall game when he returns which can only benefit the club.He is playing at a level and against opposition he will not get in the 1st Div.He is also with a known and respected coach in Beehakker that 1st Div teams can't afford.I understand your concern but Birchall is a young man and should be able to take the jamming now than at a later stage of his career.

Football / Sam wants to play again

« on: July 06, 2005, 11:32:19 AM »

Port Vale's new arrival Hector Sam is hoping to rekindle his Trinidad & Tobago career alongside compatriot Chris Birchall.

Sam has joined Vale on a 12-month deal from Wrexham after turning down a new contract at the Racecourse Ground.

He is hopeful of kick-starting his international career alongside newly-capped Birchall, who recently became the first white player in 60 years to represent the country.

Sam said: "Hopefully I can rekindle my international career. I am looking forward to playing alongside Chris Birchall - he's a great lad and I just can't wait."

Football / He's having a ball, and he hasn't even kicked off yet

« on: July 02, 2005, 02:50:35 PM »

He's having a ball, and he hasn't even kicked off yet
By John Huxley

   
"It's a big responsibility" ... the former English Premier League player Dwight Yorke will be the man fans watch. For opponents of Sydney FC he will be the man to stop.

On and off the football field, Dwight Yorke has pretty much done it all.

He has played alongside David Beckham, been deified by his countrymen on the Caribbean island of Tobago, and been trashed by the English tabloids for his partying, his on-off relationship with the topless model Jordan and his on-film sex romps with four women and his Australian mate Mark Bosnich.

So why, at the age of only 33, would he want to come to play football in Australia which - to adapt the famous remark of a former Socceroo - is rather like going to England to surf?

"Not the money. I could have got much more in the Far East," Yorke said yesterday after signing a two-year contract to play with new A-league team Sydney FC.

"Not the weather, and other stuff like that," he added, glancing outside at rain more typical of Manchester and Birmingham.

No, Yorke just wanted to play for an exciting, new club, in an exciting, new competition.

"It was a great opportunity I couldn't resist. And, well, there's no secret Sydney is a place I love."

Sydney FC, dubbed Hollywood FC and Bling FC by rival fans, already has a billionaire backer, Frank Lowy; a celebrity supporter, Anthony LaPaglia, and a World Cup-winning coach, the German Pierre Littbarski. Now it has its big-name player.

Advertisement
AdvertisementNot surprisingly, Yorke declined to disclose the terms of his contract, reportedly worth about $1 million a year, plus Porsche (although he disappeared in one of the four-wheel-drives of the sponsor, Hyundai), plus an apartment in Elizabeth Bay, plus plus.

Sadly for a code that needs publicity good or bad to succeed in footy-mad Sydney, he did not wish to discuss his private life either. "Football is what I'm here for." Asked if he expected better treatment from local media, he rattled his silver bracelets, tugged his silver earrings and smiled.

"If I'm totally honest, I don't expect much different. You know when you become a name in the game the media wants to know about your private life." So will he be on special behaviour? "Oh, this is my personality. Everyone knows what I'm like. If I'm doing the business on the football pitch and the manager is happy, that what's important."

Yorke knows that as the club's top player he will be tagged by fans as the man to watch and targeted by opponents as the man to stop. "It's a responsibility. But I don't want to be too big-headed. This is not just about Dwight Yorke."

Maybe not, but he has most to prove. His previous manager described him unflatteringly as a $50,000-a-week "straggler". His new chairman, Walter Bugno, was quoted as saying that bringing him to Sydney was like winning the Olympics.

Yorke starts training on Monday, and the club kicks off its first A-league game on August 28. It will be hoping that all's Dwight on the night.

Meanwhile, he is getting used to being a player in Australia. Apologising for arriving one day late, he explained he had missed the plane. If he had still been an English Premier League player they would have held it for him.

Football / Birchall Urge To Rest

« on: June 21, 2005, 09:21:33 AM »

Veteran midfielder Danny Sonner has waded into Chris Birchall's club-versus-country row, insisting the Port Vale starlet requires a proper break before the season kicks off.

Birchall, 21, had intended missing Trinidad and Tobago's Gold Cup games to be part of Vale's build-up to the new season, which kicks off on 6 August.

But Trinidad & Tobago coach Leo Beenhakker is adamant the winger will play in the United States-based Gold Cup tournament, which runs from 6-24 July.

Vale manager Martin Foyle says he will leave the final decision to Birchall, but has made clear he wants the player to rest.

Sonner said: "Chris did very well recently when he made his T & T debut, and understandably will now not want to miss a game.

"However, he is still a young lad and it's very important that he gets a proper break before the start of the season. I can understand both sides of the argument, but from Port Vale's point of view, we need him fit and ready for the start of the season."

Lowe keen to keep young guns - Southampton


Kevin Phillips and Peter Crouch could make Southampton exits this summer - but Rupert Lowe is "not interested" in selling Saints' young guns.

Following last season's relegation from the Premiership, it remains to be seen whether the likes of Crouch and Phillips start the season at St Mary's, with a number of clubs thought to be tracking both players.

But Saints are eager to keep the likes of Dexter Blackstock, Yoann Folly, Leandre Griffit and Kenwyne Jones, a quartet of youngsters chairman Lowe considers the future of the club."We are not interested in selling any of our promising youngsters," said Lowe. "Several of them have already proved themselves in the Championship and we are looking for them to progress this season."

Jones had a spell last season with Stoke, who Saints believe are keen to have him back, while Blackstock went on loan to Plymouth in February.

On the recruitment front, Saints are continuing talks with former Millwall manager Dennis Wise over a move to St Mary's on a playing basis.

« on: June 20, 2005, 10:09:14 AM »

Dibble backing for Edwards


Former Luton goalkeeper Andy Dibble has tipped Carlos Edwards to shine for the Hatters next season.

Edwards is due to move to Kenilworth Road on 1 July after leaving Wrexham - where he played with Dibble last season - at the end of the 2004/05 campaign.

"Carlos is a very, very strong attacking player with a lot of pace and he can play in either wing-back position or further forwards," Dibble told Luton Today.

"He's versatile and also has a really decent strike on the ball and I've seen him score plenty of goals from outside the penalty area.

"He's an exciting player and I think the fans will only be impressed by what they see."
