Not to rain on his parade or anything, but obviously I'm going to. He have to preach positives, is not like he was going to say something closer to reality with the media and sponsors present like; "This league is failing to improve year on year, player standards are stagnating as is the standard of coaching, fan base shows no sign of improvement, etc, etc" he have to "big it up".

Doh get me wrong I'm glad we have a pro-league and there have been benefits but it could be sooo much better. Just wish I had a few million to spend (I'm sure a few of you guys do as well) there are a few things I know could be done tuh improve things and yuh don't need to be a marketing genius to know what those things are.

Football / Re: Who is de best coach in T&T right now.

« on: May 16, 2013, 07:38:36 AM »

I see what yuh saying Sam and agree, but I cannot see see Hart, Latapy, Yorke, Lawrence etc coming T&T unless is tuh coach the MNT and they all cyah do that at the same time. Unless they getting crazy money (who paying that!) or they achieve/give-up on their career goals in foreign I doubt you will see them here fuh ah longterm stint anytime soon.

Also doh think Yorke interested in coaching at this time; the rest ah also think is more of a international resume thing, coming to T&T won't help that regardless of local success. Unless they was tuh win the Concacaf Champions League no foreign club would give ah SH*t about what they achieve in the Pro-League.

As fuh Fenwick, any old school poster from the Marc Purcell days would know my opinion from when Fenwich first came tuh T&T so ah won't rehash. Suffice tuh say I don't think he is anything special. I can't knock him too much as unlike some rumours i hear about the local coaches he doh seem to tolerate much nonsense or slackness from his players. He is competent at the proleague level, seems consistently professional in his approach (again, not always the case with some of our local based) and helped many players get the oppertunity fuh contracts abroad, can't knock him fuh that.

Seattle soccer fan plans to dribble to Brazil for 2014 World Cup

SEATTLE, Wash.- “Hello, I’m Richard Swanson from the Emerald City, Seattle, Washington,” starts the introduction on www.BreakawayBrazil.com.

“I’m a avid runner, soccer player, and all around lover of the Pacific Northwest. You will find me running Green Lake, on the soccer pitch, or at a local pub rooting on my favorite local team, the Seattle Sounders.”

So begins our first knowledge of a man planning to dribble a soccer ball from Seattle to Brazil in time for the start of next world cup.

“I’m heading off for this amazing adventure on May 1st 2013 to dribble a football (aka soccer ball) from Seattle to Brazil. I will spend over a year traveling through North America, Central America, and South America before arriving in Brazil for the 2014 World Cup. I will visit eleven countries (Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and finally Brazil). The trip will finish in Sao Paulo, Brazil where the first game of the World Cup will be held. It will be a trip of a lifetime where I will push myself further then I ever thought possible. For now though you can follow me as I figure out all the moving parts.”

See his first video below…and best of luck Richard!

Watch out for Seattle man dribbling down I-5

SEATTLE – A local man embarked on an epic journey to South America Wednesday morning, with his trusty soccer ball at his side.

Richard Swanson plans to dribble a blue soccer ball from Seattle to Brazil on a trip to the 2014 World Cup. He’s leaving his starting point at the Space Needle at 6 a.m. and will walk roughly 26 miles to get to his first resting point in Federal Way Wednesday.

Swanson said he’ll travel down the west coast of America and Mexico before heading into Central and South America. It could take him a little more than a year to make it to Brazil, Swanson said.

Those interested can follow Swanson’s journey on Twitter and Facebook and on Breakawaybrazil.com.

Football / Re: Who is Currently our MOST consistent striker?

« on: April 02, 2013, 07:24:16 AM »

Fuh the MNT or in club football?

I presume it is the latter. But then we have tuh talk bout standard of league they in. At the moment the one thing all the foreign based have in common is they all consistent with their inconsistency.

From the current local based is clear Glen is the most consistent fuh club and can do the business at international level.

If we move away from the current Jones + 1 thinking. I'd give any of the fringe strikers like Jagdeosingh, Plaza, Roberts etc ah chance in these nex two Friendlies as in the current state, experimenting tuh the last minute is unlikely to make our chances of success any worse.

Regarding Scotland; unless we doin ah shorterm ting (i.e. GC tournament an no further) I tink Scotland has had his time, as he too old tuh be ah longterm option.

Football / Re: What impact has KJ made to the national team? goals etc..

« on: March 28, 2013, 05:56:20 AM »

If Jones is ah limited player, the real issue is what the management doin tuh make the most of his strengths (if he got any). Personally I find Jones have ability an talent in abundance but is ah real 'streaky' player and gone ah bit too one dimensional since he join Stoke. At this point he need the team tuh play tuh his strengths if we hope tuh see good performances from him (not saying that garuntee to happen). If the side as ah whole was producing ah respectable standard of ball game after game, giving Jones ample oppertunity tuh 'do his ting', he would always stand out when his performances was substandard. IMHO the team performances been to haphazard tuh single out Jones fuh abuse. If ah team not playing well yuh cyah blame the players only, management have tuh take some blame at some point. If he that SH*T, blame the management fuh persisting in selecting the man.

Gally, (too a lesser extent) Beenhaker an occasionally our club sides at Concacaf level have shown that our players both local and foreign base can perform in ah respectable way and be competitive. In almost all cases though there was a decent level of preparation and organistation. There don't seem to be (at least so far) much evidence of significant progression with this side.

This is the best sequence of games an opposition we have had fuh some time. They preachin about 'valuable experience an lessons learned', well If Shabazz and Charles cannot get the MNT tuh put in ah respectable performance (an maximise whatever qualities Jones have) at the GC after this decent sequence of warm-up games, ah doubt they eva will ...... we may as well look elsewhere an start from scratch fuh 2018.

Oh wait, is the TTFF we talkin bout. Despite this 'moment of clarity' in arrangin these friendlies, the track record would suggest any solution from dem is unlikely to inspire great confidence movin forward, regardless of the GC performance an fallout.

Football / Re: What impact has KJ made to the national team? goals etc..

« on: March 28, 2013, 03:36:37 AM »

The same impact any forward has made...For a forward to score goal of have an impact on a game, the midfield has to occupy the opposing team defence, means the defence has to have the ability to start  an attack. KJ, Cornell glen or a young Stern John, cannot have an impact by themselves.  When every player on the team, goalie included (hoofing ball down to glen,surround by 3 men, who could foul at will) , can havean impact, and not just on the field to defend, but also attack, and draw opposing players, then KJ or any single frontman, can have an impact. I thought this was an excellent demo by Peru of this, everybody with or without the ball, was dangerous on attack, yet when they defended, they were prepared to counter, it when they were more dangerous. This was, and still is a big football country & team. They play in one of the most difficult groups in the world, regularly. We did well for a nobody team, with unsure future picks. We need more lessons like this. Yuh doh go one class in chemistry( or anything) once a term and become a doctor.And even when yuh study for years, practice for years, yuh could still lose patients. Don't lose patience on a small country team football game.. Players, coaches and fans need to study and work harder is all.

Fully agree, difficult tuh make an impact if yuh doh get the proper oppertunity tuh make one!

Not that the man is ah natural goal poacher but if he was getting 2-3 clear cut chances every game and consistently wasting them that is ah different story. From what these coaches shown so far, not really sure if they always have a main purpose of using Jones tuh score goals.

Football / Re: Another lesson in Lima.

« on: March 27, 2013, 11:16:26 AM »

Thanks Tallman....could'nt stay up till 4am tuh watch that game.

From what ah jess saw I actually doh think we do that bad. Ah would say that the breakdowns in our defensive shape (especially in the later stages of the game) seem tuh highlight apparent deficiencies with our players fitness levels, athleticism and ah general lack of pace from the defensive players rather than juss poor defensive awareness. Ah fine our players was real struggling tuh keep up with the pace of the game and the way the Peruvians was spreading the play.

Our game plan (if there was one) seem tuh be counterattacking, so ah would'nt expect much possession and at least from the defensive side it seem tuh have been working fuh the most part. A set ah long distance shot in the first half from dem Peruvians, at first ah taught it was good defending but it was happenin so often that after ah while ah was wondering if the Peruvians had ah gameplan based on some opinion that we keeper was suspect and was expecting loads ah handling errors. If so, they underestimate Phillip cause he done real well.

Difficult tuh say from the highlights as we achieve very little offensively but the creativity and offensive awareness doh seem tuh be very good. Players seem tuh be ah bit lost once we get the ball into the final third, didn't seem tuh be very purposeful offensively. If ah had tuh predict the GC performance of the squad base on the past two game Ah would say the MNT would be difficult to beat but would real struggle tuh score resulting in ah set ah low score defeats. At present, Ah cyah see us winning any games. But there is time still tuh improve, 2 warm-up tuh go.

Let us hope Mr's Shabazz and Charles have genuinely learned something from these two games but more importantly have the ability to turn these 'Lessons' into better team performances.

We go soon see.

@Rodney,I still feel that Falkirk wasn't treating Densil well enough by playing him in the Reserves because from what I saw of him against a quite good Wales team,IMO that was good enough to give him a contract with Falkirk.I have to say that he was a silly boy to go before being pushed as you suggested,who knows another Scottish club may picked him up.

I agree with you. But based on what I saw of him, he would would ah gone the way of Silvio Spann i.e. further down the league tiers. At least initially.

Densil is a very good mid field player with many good parts to his game,I first saw him against Wales and thought then,what a good player,what a shame he walked out on Falkirk he is at least worth a contract with a League 1 or Championship club in England or somewhere in Europe.

He is a good player.....magnificent!!!?? Saw ah fair bit of his performances for Falkirk, wasn't ah automatic first team pick. He played ah lot of reserve games and from what I saw was generally very average. Not a bad player, but no game changer. He jus did'nt offer anything better than what was already locally produced. Not sure if he eva admitted it but ah think he jump before they push him. Not sure what influence or opinion Lata's had but it seemed tuh me that Hughes was not convinced.

Not convinced about him as an international coach.....he was poor, had some funny ideas on tactics and player selection IMO. Having said that, he have ah relatively calm personality so ah think he would do better if he had day-to-day access to player so he could get his point across better. Will he be ah miracle man if employed by Falkirk ? Doubt it! but he certainly would'nt be as shambolic as Barnes was at Celtic. Definitely would do better wid Falkirk as he more familiar with the club and it's setup than he ever was the the T&T side he took over.

I fuh one doh see what the issue is. Didn't the management already explain why Birchall is there. Though admittedly he currently has little match fitness & dubious form; what better way to see if ah normally consistent performer fuh the MNT could still do the business, in ah friendly against probably the weakest team at the GC. If he has ah shocker, we could cut we losses before the big show, if he do well yet another midfield option available fuh selection, and ah proven option at that.

The other problem with bottom up is that everybody doing they thing in an uncoordinated manner. While yuh can envision coordination issues top down, it shouldn't be anywhere as disjointed as bottom up.

Agreed. We already have proof of that with the current situation in the proleague and local game in general.

Wish we had ah leader of the Pro-league/TTFF with the same drive, but without the more dubious attributes.

Football / Re: QUESTION: 3 Government teams in the Pro League.

« on: March 12, 2013, 08:26:31 AM »

This topic is valid and deserve a pull back.

Army and Police does not operate as part of the league despite playing in it. I know this personally.

They need to work together with the other club and stop acting like they better or in a difference level.

These players are secured by government help while the other team suffer to make ends meet.

Bein ah Devils Advocate, Ah doh think these sides have any responsibility to assist the league, mainly due to what they are and their history. Looking at it from their perspective.

The questions yuh have tuh ask is, What do they get out of promoting the league or helping it survive, and as organisations do they have any actual influence on such decisions as they are 'government property' after all. If yuh look at the situation in ah purely factual way; Defence force and Police were there before the Pro-League and will probably be there after, if it fails. They were both arguably (especially DF) way more successful prior to the Proleague era. If ah remember correctly both were'nt very kean to be involved when a professional league was first started and neither have always played in the various versions of the pro-league.

Though historically they are 'regional' teams in the broadest sense of the word, Defence force (North), Police (South). Attracting ah fanbase isn't really of any significance to them as they have set recruiting pools/funding already. Even in my day I knew Police was ah south side but only because I used tuh see them play 'home' games occasionally at Skinner Park...as to what specific community they represented (San'do, Marabella,la Romain, heck!.....Princess Town!!??)ah neva knew an did'nt really care to be honest. They had name players, it was easy tuh see them play and they played decent ball against Foreign teams, that is why ah watched them. Ah didn't grow-up supportin them.

Ah think the mindset of DF and Police has always been too play in the highest level of competition available, whatever that may be, pro, semi-pro or amateur. It doh really have much impact on them. Success wise it would probably suit them better if the league was amateur.

Personally ah think the sponser of those teams (the government) should assist the league on ensuring its sustainability. Don't be ah 'sugar daddy' by givin money directly to teams as that go add to the bad habits that seem to be already there; however there is ah lot they could do to ease the pressure on the running costs of these clubs. I believe the rest (mainly promotion and manageing budgets) is the responsibility of the League management and club owners.

Football / Re: Bundesliga

« on: February 20, 2013, 10:56:19 AM »

Not sure England would learn much, at least not in the short term. Mindset about achieving and maintaining success is too different and many Premier League owners are not British or UK based, they would always look for loopholes if guidelines were considered too restrictive to achieving quick success. Government would have tuh get involved to ensure changes (mentioned by the writer) were enforced and adhered to in the longterm. Sadly government involvement in the UK means changes will not happen 'quickly'  .

Ah doh want tuh write an essay on this but, Ah been out here for 6 months now and would say the system used in Germany was a 'no-brainer' and pretty easy to enforce due to the different financial culture here too the UK. Priceing of tickets, food and concessions at games seems to me to have much more uniformity here than in the UK but that is more to do with their mindset like the article says in relation tuh the cost of living here. Is not cheap tuh live in Germany (which is the biggest myth the UK have - IMHO - about this country) and I think that is why the locals (and therefore the Fans) simply have ah more prudent mindset. They doh like creditcard much either, which cyah be ah bad ting. If it too expensive, they doh buy it. UK Fan will buy season ticket and go into debt just to keep it. Clubs know this and exploit. Though is cheaper to live in the UK, trust me it is, what peps consider essential purchases in the UK and the lengths they are willing to go tuh get these things is quite different to Germans. If the lowest willing to be wasteful yuh cyah be critical of the cash cow!

Ah was at a Reading game last season when they was in the championship and was out of pocket by £55 (snack/drink, programme & ticket) at the end, and ah had a discounted ticket!, Forest was £20 more and they was in the same league! Ah doh understand how man who on the breadline could go games 4-5 times ah month with them prices! forget them fella's who does go European games. Went to ah Dortmund game before christmas, did the same and spent 39 Euro and that by my reckoning shows ah pay double to see a league club a tier lower. Doh know what it costs to see Reading now they in the Premiership.

Ah think, because of the fans mindset here clubs and the governing body were forced to have a more realistic view of the whole package to ensure sustainability. There aint really any 'sugar-daddies' willing to splurge on ah whim like in the UK. Clubs never seemed tuh change hands as frequently either, so they never really reach the stage of the UK where there is almost an expectation that 'doh worry, we go get bail out by some rich person if we get in financial difficulty'.

Is ah good example tuh follow, but ah doubt most if any of the premier league clubs or even many lower league clubs with big aspirations go follow a system based on the the german method with any heavy longterm commitment (unless forced too).

They seemed obsessed IHMO in their belief that he was a winger and persisted in playing him there in his early career.

I admit that these two arent the best examples however there are many if you know where to look. Found quite a few with Steve David, Spann, De Leon and chinapoo but not many with them actually playing, most are like the one above. I suggest going to this site: http://www.nasljerseys.com/Rosters/NASL_Rosters.htm search for a trini you know find a Team and year they played frequently on then google search with that info and hope for a video. Trini players of the past aint household names to the rest of the world so it is extremely unlikely that their names will headline a video. You will probably have to look through some (there are quite a few extended highlights and even a few full games posted).

Good news if true as he was heading nowhere there.

Jason Scotland agrees contract settlement with Ipswich Town.
By Stuart Watson (greenun24.co.uk).

JASON Scotland has become a free agent after agreeing a settlement over the final few months of his Ipswich Town contract.

The 33-year-old striker has made just one appearance under new boss Mick McCarthy after slipping down the pecking order following the arrivals of David McGoldrick, Aaron Mclean and Frank Nouble.

Speaking recently, McCarthy said: “Jason is likely to be going somewhere. He’s been fabulous, Jason, he’s such a lovely character and a nice man, he’s been great around the place.

“But we’re going younger and hungrier, I guess, and unfortunately Jason’s missing out. But he understands and he’d like to go and play football somewhere in the twilight of his career.”

Scotland was brought to Portman Road by Roy Keane in August 2010, for a fee believed to be in the region of £1m from Wigan.

The former Trinidad and Tobago international made 59 starts and 38 substitute appearances for the Blues, scoring 21 goals.
