Why is every body missing my point!!! west coast no need to explain!! i understand the whole shabbang. i watch the interview twice, once live and the other at 4 am.
i got the whole 3000 or 10% gate, old deal, new deal 10 % gate , and the minsiter waived it to $150,000. yes i got that !! even my 6 yrs old would've gotten it too.
my point is as follows. the way ppl do things in the 3rd world is so unnessasary and painful, and that never cease to amaze the sensible.
all this crap could've been avoided, just like the impass , just like all the other simplistic disagreements that has taken place in recent yrs, if only ppl proceded with the proper proffesional approach /protocol. and this was no differant from all others!
now i not siding with mr warner in the least, i wiil always hold mr warner in contempt for his bullying ways, but i also live by a certin code of ethics, and the one that stands out will be equal rights, justice and fairness even for the oppressors. YES . JUSTICE FOR ALL.
i cant help but think that mr hunt was being somewhat of an antagonist and he has an axe to grind with jack, fine keep that out of the public eye and deal with it behind closed doors or preferably in an arena where that is most suitable , but not in public for crying out loud!
My point is, he should've stipulated this way before the game was even concieved , maybe this shoud've been done as soon as he took office. why wait until tickets were printed, and things set in motion to implement new guidelines, and don't tell me he didn't , he did!
BC that would mean you didn't watch the interview at all, and he certianly did that, he said it himself when Ms Dass ask him the question.
i could only think that this was political chess and have absolutly nothing to do with the love for country,the ppl, or concern for goverment funds.
i could've understood the arguement if he made it clear from the get go, that we are opperating under differant guidelines and we've changed the rental agreement for the use of all our sporting facilities.
but no, that was not discussed in the initial meeting , so it was understood that the same rental agreement applied, is only when he saw how much jack stood to make from this game, he opted to do what he did , now to me that's childish and playful.
then last night in the interview he said that he would bring it down to 150,000, which he dicided on yesterday in his press release.
now i don't give ah dam about politcal strife, BC to me that's what's mashing up trinidad & tobago, these two parties can't agree to work together for the advancment of T&T, and it shows even in a little sporting event.
PS: for all who saying who gives a f#ck about england, well hear this . it's not about england , it's about how we are percieved in the world over.
the world is watching! ppl, and it doesn't do good for our image!! it's a pride thing man!! do you ppl have any sort of pride or shame ?
this could've been handled in a far more proffesional manner , both the minister and the TTFF are at fault. they are playing politics, and the ppl are smack in the middle.
