Many people have argued that Shandhon Whinchester is better than his star counterpart -Jerrol Britto , both are great youth prospects compared by many sports personalities , coaches etc as the next Yorke and Latapy. Who have known them or seen them play could vouch to this as being a serious comparision , youth with loads of talent and potential since the ages of 9 ,10,11 at their repective clubs playing at least 3 to 4 age groups higher and still shineing.

Guys, remeber these young men have a long way to go ... do not create to much noise and raise the expextation level such that they are unable to meet it.  Allow them the opportunity to learn the game before we start talking about the next Latapy and Yorke,

Yeah it seem so......Saints were in the Senior Division this year so i think that disqualified any of their players from being selected.

allyuh cyah expect saints players to get selected based on ah 4 match run while other teams play about 20 matches..be serious...that being said i am surprised that players such as jamal clarence and jamal gay have been left out based on reports...since i didnt see any games i cant really comment too much except that team selection is just like this forum...personal opinion.

Many people ignorant to the fact would not know that the coaches had to work with  players who actually came out to the screening sessions.  Not the big bois who feel they have name and should get pick because of this , including ,Leston Paul , Kevin Mussio , Sean DeSilva etc.At any team ,National etc sometimes the best players dont come out to train. This side is actually very strong in all parts , from defennce , midfield and fowards. Jammal Clarencnce is injuried and Gay did not go to Screeniing.

Post by: jr sams on December 12, 2007, 11:24:05 AM
I think selection may have been based more on the league play. They may have had criteria like minimum number of games played, which would have ruled out any Saints men...but that's pure speculation on my part

Post by: swood on December 12, 2007, 03:13:04 PM
OK just to clear the air on a couple of questions...please note I am giving the explanations and not necessarily in total agreement with them.

1) The All Star team was selected based on nationwide (including Tobago) screening at different venues over the last month. Players HAD to attend at least one to have a chance to be selected.

2) Jamal Gay and Daniel Joseph were not selected because they did not attend any of the screenings despite the constant requests from Coach Shawn Cooper. The reasons for them not attending is another topic of discussion.

3) Only players from teams in the CHAMPIONSHIP division were allowed to participate in screenings. Hence no CIC players nor any other Senior Division players were eligible. There were also quite a few Senior Division players in teams other than CIC that looked good...so it's not only CIC that was affected.

On a personal note...This arguably is not the strongest possible team from the league, however the boys are going to face tough opposition in Jamaica when they play the winners of the Manning and Da Costa competitions...the very least we should do IMHO is support the players that have been selected regardless of school, zone or personal opinions.

Schoolsoccernet will provide the usual coverage of the games as they happen in Jamaica.

All I sayin is dat we look out for one another oui. If dey pick ah all-star team, ah Fatima man go like to see Fatima represented, just like ah Malick man, just like ah Gustine man... just like ah Saints man. Dais all I attesting to.

As to how well either of us on this forum doing for we-self, well, imho, we parents have more to do with dat than what high school we went. So I wasn goin dey at all with my comments nah.  :beermug:

Just one Saints man picking up for another. Dais just how we do it. No luv lost...

Of course not  :beermug:

My comments were more to the outrage expressed by Gryskywalker...that somehow the selectors have something against CIC, when in fact when I was coming up Saints, QRC and dem other 'big' schools dominated de scene.  Nobody was bawling 'injustice' then of course.

Add to that man come in saying Saints men have ah right to be arrogant (which yuh co-sign on).  I juss want to know what allyuh have ah 'right' to be arrogant about...  going tuh CIC??  Hence my comments.  But my comments ent really fuh you, I know where your head is so no scenes still   :beermug:

Lard!!! All yuh blood pressure high. Ever since in QRC days, whenever they used to pick the Colleges league team, some people always complaining that the big schools "does get" all the picks. Well,  long time all the best players used to go to the "big' schools. The big schools in mine time(in terms of football) was CIC, Belmont, Tranquil, Fatima, QRC in the North. Then Techical, Naps, Pres, Benedicts in the south. Technical used to get the mostl the picks for colleges and youth teams then. Why so? Because the had the best.  Then gradually as the schools increase, the talented players from the small schools started going to other schools ratherthan the so called big schools. That is the facts of life. Look how Saints and QRC scrunting these days. The last time QRC win national intercol was 1966. The last time they win the league championship was 1968. Now big schools have to recruit to stay afloat on the football scence.
        If man want to brag about his school what is the big deal. Man does back EPL team like they born in England. At least you  went to school in TT and experienced 5 years of educaion and character building for better or worse. When I reincarnate is back to QRC I going. But with a caveat. I want a principal who is a real ball jumbie. He go bring in one set of overage players like some schools used to do.

first things first..youth baller thanks for providing updates on the forum about the SSFL during the season...in addition to the schoolsoccernet website, the pres site, you and a few other forumites kept the the foreign based trinis updated..

regarding yuh comment..you used some strong words.."tear a team apart", our players have not even done that in awhile on ah regional level..hopefully you are right..for our football sake because we are in dire need of new talent..since latas, yorke and shaka, we probably produce 2 "big" players (stern and kenwyn jones) although we producing about 10 SSFL stars every year who can tear apart a team on a good day (too bad they only have good days once every 3 months).

Why is there such an emphasis on the guys must win and must beat JA. Why is it, that if we don't beat JA the whole world go fall down. Look, I have notice that there are periods when a good group  of players come thru and there are times when  the talent pool way down. Right. now we are going thru a period with minimal talent. But we plugging away. The football fraternity just have to do a better job  at encouraging the youths be creative and work on their ball skills(control, dribbling, shooting and composure under pressure). The cream will rise to the top.

i believe ppl refer to jamaica a lot because they are a good measuring stick..de yardies and tnt have been the most consistent teams in the caribbean..haiti and cuba getting there..anyway, if we cant beat them how de hell can we challenge the latin american teams in concacaf...so it is not a case of the whole world falling down but it highlights the gap between their youth football and ours...i fed up hear of the SSFL stars, imagine ppl rating up players who had a few good intercol games, if these men were so good their side wouldnt be in the second division (CIC men doh take it personal), the SSFL players suffer from inflated ego because fans ride their jock strap real hard...nothing wrong with support and bigging up yuh favourite players but being realistic is important so these guys will understand that success is not belting 3 defenders, stringing up ah shitty keeper and brushing 4 convent girls...it takes hard work, perseverance, discipline and some luck and right now most of our youth players lucky if they meet 2 out of the 4 requirements.

If you make a All star team..implying this team is the best your nation has to offer....and a next nation "best" consistently washing yuh ass....wha yuh go do? Do like James Ingram and say..."I did my best....but i guess my best wasn't good enough?" If you trying to be at least 3rd or 4th best in a division that have at least 3 teams that better than most if not all CFU teams in Mexico..USA...and Costa Rica.....you really think we have room to be anything less than best in the region? Yeah it have pride and bragging rights at stake...but....lets be real......the only time we can consistently challenge for a World Cup place....is when we are unquestionably the best in the Caribbean...because its only then we have a chance of being at the very least 3rd best in CONCACAF. Even if we dont win these meaningless home and away games.......at what point should we begin to make winning a habit? When we start qualifiers? When? Far too long we putting in mediocre preparations and then feeling we should get sublime results. It doesnt work like that...we all know it.

It is not about emphasis on beating JA.

The only non domestic team the select team has played in the recent past has been JA.

Sayin dis team will beat any schoolboy team in T&T is one ting.  Really and truly, I not interested in dat.

I lookin at a bigger picture.  How do they match up against their peers in the region?  That's what I'm interested in.  And the only team in the region that they play is that Jamaican select team.  And dey been gettin duss out every year.  To me, dat is an indication dat if people feel de talent somehow superior at dat level in T&T, it eh really so when it compared wit a nex comparable country in de region.

And dat NOT takin into consideration similar teams from the likes of Costa Rica, Mexico, United States, Canada etc. 

Intercol and SSFL football in general jes good fuh braggin rights.  FOR ME...I look at how our best players at that age group stack up against the rest.

No disrespeck to anybody who feel intercol is IT or man who sharin tolum in a game between El Do and Naps is a big ting.  In de overall scheme of tings, it jes doh matter to me.

I happy to hear we appear to have a superior talent for his age in young Britto.  THAT's GREAT.  In my opinion, the sooner he and the likes of him get out of the T&T football environment and into a PROPER professional environment, the better for his development and therefore more benefit to T&T down the road.

Yuh see allyuh men taking dat outa context first of all the arrogance tag is usually forced on St Marys, I doh know why some of allyuh have dis inferiority complex but is unhealthy. If a man tell u yuh arrogant but u know u not, then why bother to argue, dey go still think yuh arrogant. So yes we arrogant and have every right to be  :rotfl:
As for de last question......

All I'll say is smart ballers usually make de best ballers.

First of all who de f**k is you...and who de f**k was talking to you? You's ah f**king just-come non-entity who I wouldn't even wipe my ass with if ah had tuh take ah dump on de side ah de road.  Criticizing ah man fuh acting arrogant and having ah sense of entitlement is not akin to an 'inferiority complex' except to simpletons such as yuhself.  St. Mary's is ah blasted high school...but I understand, some ah allyuh dat is all allyuh have to hang allyuh hat on.

You need to calm wayy down,

Grskywaler it does not mean that o because they were on the National Under-17 team that they should make the SSFL-All Star team which is an Under-19 League with players 18 and 19 years old who are in fatc better than those of the National Under 17 players. I know, and many peoeple/coaches would also tell you that they are players in the league who were not on the National Under 17 but are better than the likes of Glenroy Samuel ,Jean Luc Rochford ,Chad DeFreitas ,Micah Lewis etc and were 18/19. Bottom line the coach worked with the players he had availiable and I know for sure that Shawn Cooper has more coaching experience that most people in this topic-forum.

I hearing a lot about this Gay fella on the forum.  Anybody have the stats on his performance for the season ?
How many goals he scored, goals per match stats etc.

I may be wrong, but it seems to me that his reputation really started (on this forum) with the two goals against de saints the other day.  Brilliant as the goals were, I wasn't hearing too much about him before that.  I looked at the highlights of those goals and found that those defenders were wanting in many aspects.

I saw the game against Naps and Gay wasn't even a factor in that game...a combination of better defenders (in terms of their technical ability and atheticism) and also it was obvious Naps had a proper game plan for him (coaching).

I didn't miss no point nah fella, clearly you said regardless as to which school they're from the best players should be on the team.  Problem is you then immediately undercut your own point by complaining about the great 'injustice' done to your school...see bolded comments  8)

THAT is what I responded to.

Now ah doh know how to rate that performance.  I guess yuh have to look at the teams he scored them goals against and the overall game on the day....too much thing to analyse.  If he only scored in three games, ah wonder wha happen in them other games ?

Maybe he just average by the other players standard, and is only the hype on the forum that says he shoulda be included on the all-star team  ??? :-\
