Football / Re: Dennis Lawrence might be T&T coach soon.

« on: May 18, 2013, 08:17:46 PM »

It seems to me that COACHE has some coaching experience. It is also clear that being in a foreign country COACHE has that mentality that foreign exposure is better than the big fish in a small pond mentality.
The logical conclusion is that COACHE wants to be the National coach of Trinidad & Tobago.
 Nothing wrong with that kind of ambition, but he must channel his CV in the right direction.
 Having said that, understanding the DNA of a club or country is a necessary ingredient for success.
 If one is in doubt ask the Interim  Coach of Chelsea. Players and fans can make you or break you.

Five pages- WOW- Are the Moderators paid? Now I have a great respect for Just Cool , but seriously my friend- Right now the team doing fine-Which Team? We have a better Federation- Too early to tell.
 Things progressing- What things?
 I guess a lot of former men/ women not posting- Because if you cannot improve the silence , keep quiet.

The Answer-'" Do not say anything if you cannot improve the silence-" Give Terry Fenwick the Coaching job to prepare these Youths for the Under 19 tournament.

Dear Brother- The only sane thing about T&T football is this site. Let us hope Joy will come soon to those of us who love our Soca Warriors. Did someone say we are getting a new Coach? Did someone say we are getting a new TD?. Sorry I have to fast forward , money is the problem so we have to wait until the next rounds of W/C qualifiers . The more things change the more they remain the same.

Football / Re: A BITTER TASTE - U-17 team.

« on: April 15, 2013, 07:48:50 AM »

Did you fellas see the cut ass Honduras put on USA last Evening. Development program has both the youth and the senior team playing the same brand and a force to be recon with in Concacaf.
 Just look at Panama. Steady . methodical and no quick fix. Now the Coaching staff is saying the players did not step up. Well , we need a scapegoat as usual. What's new?. Listening to Mr Corneal I really thought given his long exposure and hands on with T&T football , that we were in the world Cup mix.
 When the USA  did not make it in this qualifier , the first Question was a Review and Questions about the teams failure. I hope it is not business as usual for The Coaching staff and the team .

« on: April 12, 2013, 06:26:48 AM »

Well Said Big Magician- EASY/ EASY. A youth makes 50 runs in cricket we start saying he is the next Lara.
 A young man makes a run down the middle and we say he is the next Latapy. A Coach win a game and we want to move him from coaching boys to men. Coaching a Senior team is not only about systems it is also mental and man coaching . HAVING TO DEAL WITH BIG EGOS AND PLAYERS TRADING THEIR GOODS AT A HIGHER LEVEL.  You really think Cooper can deal with the star boys on our National Team

I had to get my glasses to see what I was reading was true. Big win against Costa Rica. Congrats to the team and Staff
 I guess making another World Cup is possible/. The journey now start. I have not felt this good since we drew with Sweden.
 In footballing terms for those with runaway minds. I know this will do a lot for their confidence. Let us give it up for the young warriors.

« on: April 08, 2013, 08:20:03 AM »

Great post Zandolie- When I saw the report from the coaching staff my first thoughts were well let us work this under 17's to be the future in terms of development. Panama is a case in point, look at their football and their development. I saw Haiti yesterday against the States with a Brazilian coaching staff that was playing good ball before the injuries. Look at the strength of the Haitians- Gym work. The intensity and confidence. Had they taken their chances in the first half , the score line would read differently. then like most Caribbean teams when they fall behind resort to the long ball and hope.
 Finally the ability to run and focus for the entire game is the USA strength. Maybe we need a USA conditioning coach.

Well the experiment has ended. The staff knows who can cut it and who cannot.
 Let us assemble the next level of players and start the journey to the Gold Cup.
 I remember a man holding up a big sign during Gally days -:" Gally stop the experiment "
 If it is one thing T&T coaches are consistent with is the mantra- The experiment and if we add so and so this team can compete. The problem is that they never assemble the best players for the position needed. Gold Cup here we come. I hope is not the same Long ball with one striker.

Trinity College and Malvern- Richard is well schooled. I have always followed his career and I am of the view that he should be given a developmental role in T&T football. I would like to see him as the under 17/19 coach.

« on: January 23, 2013, 12:26:22 PM »

First of all , the idea of being part of a learning experience  is a very good thing, Sitting at the feet of learned professionals can benefit our local coaches. I am at a lost to understand coaches accompanying players for trials abroad. something does not seem right and who is paying for this trip? It also raises question about who is really the head coach.

Thank You JUST COOL. The core of this team will make good subs. We have to pick the best players all over the globe. TTFF must get sponsors and get Anil to run the money. Play Venezuela and top teams during the FIFA friendly dates. But this side will be the core of the Gold cup- somebody smoking some funny thing. Now I am not saying bring back some 30plus former warriors.

Well in all fairness to the commentators, one did say we were technically competent and technically better in running into spaces and reading the game. from what i saw we tend to play with passion when we are a goal down. Congrats to the coaching staff and players. Guerra could be our next standout player. At least he can take the ball and run to goal. He understands the main thing must be the main thing.- Going for goal.

T&T vs Haiti - Finalist for the Caribbean Cup. Christmas coming early for the Forumites.
 Believe and the miracle will happen, An early goal and then catch them on the counter. Get the ball to Guerra who could run down the middle and 3-0 is possible.

Why Not Cato and Birchy.? The Problem in Trinidad & Tobago in all areas of our National life is Croyniesm. Favouritisem and Nepotism.  If you are not part of the boys club Crapau smoke your pipe.
