Football / Re: Maha Sabha invites Indian footballer to inspire youths

« on: July 07, 2006, 01:48:05 PM »

Elaborate on this Myriad of similarities.

As an Indian this is what I have noticed.

- Dress

- basic languge...eg. popo, bundunya, mamoo, bougee, etc.

-eating behaviour

- food and the cooking methods, eg. seasoning and how to chunkey.

- wedding customs

- passing of certain food items.

-which hand to eat with and why

- greetings and greeting for older and more respected individuals

- the Hindu language

- customs for praying, weddings, funerals etc.

I am not a hard core Idian, but I'm sure someone like my father could add to this list.

Peace,
VB

1. Another's ignorance does not dictate who you are. Thus, Indians thinking that those born outside of India aren't Indian doesn't make it so.

A white person thinking an Indian is black, does not make it so.

Some Africans laugh at blacks in America and the Caribbean referring to them as slaves and not real Africans. Does that make it so??

2. How dow we know that Dohrasoo doesn't speak Eng.

3. Indians because of the multitude have a lot of differences but some common similiarities. A contradiction but true. As an Indian who has met several from all over the world I am telling you so.

4. Yes Sat and many in the Maha Saba consider themselves Indian not Trini. And dey doh give a fu%^ what others think about it.
But dey mightn't say it in public. :-)

Let's summarise by acknowledging sat is a racist;
De Indian coming...he may inspire some Indian youths but too bad Sat didnt' ask some of the warriors as well.

Putting aside the fact that Sat is a racist for a moment....and yes he is.
I've met quite a few in the Maha Sabha that are.

I've also met many black ppl that automatically back a black athlete vs. a non black athlete - every tıme.

Some are racist but some refer to it as racial pride.

I can understand as I always feel good if I see India do well in ınternational sport - teamwise or indivdually. If İndia had been in this WC I would have backed them vs every team except Trinidad.

The point of having our own locals speak to the players is a great idea, many would have been wide eyed to have a Dwight Yorke, Latas or sancho speak to them.

However, ıt would be also inspiring to have a fellow İndian speak to you. Remember many Indians share a very simıliar culture and can immediately relate to each other no matter what part of the world they meet in.

Back in the 80s an All Black team from England came to TT, nobody had a problem with it.

Yes sat is all about Indıans but there is a postıve to be derived from this even though it has to be connected to the MS.

Football / Re: What are your views on Tobago United

« on: July 04, 2006, 02:30:14 PM »

I refuse to reiterate whas has already been said on this topic.

Suffice it to say that for a long time, TU tried to have mainly Tobago players but the best Tobago players weren't available. Largely due to the fact that St. Claire Coaching School men refuse to go over as a sign of faithfulness to their team.

Now this year TU source some foreigners but still getting cut ass.

Seeing that the best players in Tobago don't necessarilly want to play for dem, they must improve their scouting system outside of Tobago.

Look at NE Stars, initially they went to Guyana to fill the void they had and  it helped out big time.

Back in de old days a fella called Defender used to sign off
"Keep the Faith."

Later on, as he was a well known regular, he just used to say KTF.

I think it was either Observer or Watchful Eye...who know de man...get confused and ask who is KTF?....He thought it was the initials of the man name.

« on: July 03, 2006, 02:39:24 PM »

I'm not really surprised they say that. Anyone knowing our usual approach to these things wouldn't be surprised. After the Strike squad we had young hungry players, we had talented men making big names in Europe. Where did that get us in 94?, 98? 02? How many men on this 06 team were marked as the future of TNT football after 1989?

The reality is that despite having one of the oldest teams in the tournament the 06 Soca Warriors are basically made up of players who started playing internationally around and after 2000. It means that there was a huge black hole between 1990 and 2000 in terms of the development of the players in their prime during this period. To say that the talent wasn't there would be misleading. Its more like we didn't do anything with it.

To illustrate, what happened between 1990 and now is the equivalent of us doing nothing of note on the regional (CONCACAF) level until 2020 and getting to the Brazil 2022 World Cup with Spann, Birchall and Kenwyne.

One can only hope that things will change in the planning and development department, but seeing that the vision is for 2020...well nuff said...

Lawwdd....that was a sobering post.

We really ddn't do much in the 90s with a truckload of fu^%^ng talent:

Yorke, Latas, Lewis, Bomber, Weekes, Jughead, Faustin, Charles, Rougier, Boisson, Dexter Francis, Lee, Eve, Nakhid ....

Let the winner of the Oceana group enter an Asian qualifying round along with Aus.

We keep our half a spot.
Asia keeps their half
Give a half to Africa
and S. America keeps their half.

The Asians and the Africans battle it out.

And we and the Latinos battle it out.
My only prob with that is we end up somewhere in high altitude and cah breathe and get automatic cut ass....like in the Azteca.
