yes i could be annoying at times and quite frequently people often refuse to engage me usually, i will admit to that, but i was wondering if we could have a dialogue to help clear up some of our concerns. i've noticed that every time we lose a game people come on and act so very surprised and bewildered like we're never supposed to lose or have a poor showing, but when we win people are overjoyed and start picking apart our performance praising some and damning others, but did we ever stop to think that nothing has changed win lose or draw and we are in just as bad a position as years gone by and are in no position to demand better?
people we have done nothing for football since we played the united states in november 1989, in fact we had a semi pro league back then that was attracting far more spectators than we do now in this farce of a professional league.
our football regional presidents from the north, south, and central including the club owners were all in jack warners pockets voting his yes men back in power every election, yet this maniac was the VP of fifa and did nothing to advance football one inch in his own country or his region for that matter.
this man stood in fifa for two decades and did nothing of serious consequence, he build no community grounds, he couldn't get the pro league owners to collaborate with the federation by unifying the leagues creating a promotion and relegation system, they failed to bring private corporations on board and created no fiscal initiatives to make the federation financially independent.
for many years our youth football developmental system was the SSFL and still is, a part time mamaguye two month league with no serious training or level of coaching to speak of, and it shows in the performance of the players where they have failed continually to get past regional youth teams year after year, and this has been going on for the last 25 years and no one ever stopped to think that we have to change this system? this is outrageous, talk about the blind leading the dead.
so really people, when we draw with peurto rico and the bahamas why then are we surprised? it's true fenwick just might be a fraud who was exposed last night, but this is far beyond the reaches of terry fenwick, did we fear better under dennis lawrence or even steven hart?
i remembered the last world cup qualifiers in st vincent where the host team went up on us twice and levi came in and scored a brace to save face. in 2012 caribbean cup in antigua haiti had to save us by beating antigua barbuda for us to qualify for the gold cup, that after missing out on two consecutive tournaments after being knocked out by grenada twice, so where is all this fussing and cussing coming from now when we should have been fussing then?
isn't it strange that we have no more players in the english lower leagues? we haven't won a caribbean tournament in the last 20 years, and we struggle to make the gold cup every time it rolls around, think people think.
jovin jones one of our best players struggles to score sitters throughout this whole tournament even missing an open net last night, and now we are in awe of drawing to the bahamas who literally parked the bus if i've ever seen such a situation?and it was glaringly obvious that they did park the bus, yet people claim that we could have worked around that, ok that might be true, but only with players who have quality, and the bottom line is that we are not a quality team, in fact our players are shit........and you want to know why? because we have no football infrastructure on the both islands to speak of, and other regional nations have figured us out.
i conclude by saying that you all would be revisiting this quarrelsome situation for the next 20 years if these numb skull monkeys in charge of football don't get off their fat complaisant asses, roll up their sleeves and do something substantial for football, and lets start by voting in a worth while federation, get funding for football from corporate sponsorship, make this semi pro league a real professional league by brining in foreign experts from europe as consultants just like benhakker, wim and fister suggested.
the government should get busy building football training schools in every region of the country for instance north, central, south, west and east. bring in coaching staff from europe and give them contracts, and only employ local coaches who have all their euafa badges, no more nepotism we moving forward, and until that happens i will not come here expecting much, the reality is our players are of poor quality and as of recently, it is quite obvious. the emperor is naked people the boss's private parts are showing, can't you see?
