To clarify the issues: I have made a private apology to Touches and I have clarified as best as I can the nature of the problem. I have also been made aware of prior conflicts with some of the fans from that site and have been appraised of some of their antagonisms. I have cooly read the reactions from two, but given who we are, I expected more. It was not my intent to be like mr.Panama and go in ther to cause havoc on the contary, I am sharing a regional Success as many of my Jamacian partners at th ebarber shop here get into some good talks about the whole state of football in the region.
I enter this forum bearing no malice or ill intent. It has been 30 odd years for me in this country which is still not accpetable for me to call home. I have served as a president of a Trinidad and Tobago Canadian Association and have organized National conferences and have worked in ways to unite the presidents of the Caribbean islands to look at common agenda of systemic barriers of oppression and to find ways to build capcity for our youths in this country. Rudder's song Trini to D bone is my living legacy of what it means to be away from on'e homeland. There was another song by Spoiler who sang " home sweet home .. no matter wherever you roam make up yuh mind and come back home....."
Well this forum for me has been 'God Sent' I come in here to lime and to share ole talk about the things I am passionate about Football and sports in general. It was my dream to someday represent TNT. But the opportunity never came. I have now found a place to show support. It is my only recreational outlet on this thing they call the net. I am not savy nor inclined for 'chat'
I know I may be OVER exhuberant in my postings and at times 'long winded' but that is who I am. I hereby am learning to be a bit more careful of the intricacies of postings. I have no malice to any one who shares their ethnocetric views; man may post in here about the U 20 team of another nation; as long as it paralles some contextual references and a connection to TNT, I dont care but I would challenge them in a discourse if they are simply posting without context.
Jamacia being by nature a natural regional rival, brings a context for sharing and discussion. Soon we wil clash with them in the Unity Cup; they took major props from us in the Digicel Cup and we will be adversaries in the Gold Cup as to who would progress the furthest. I am not going to be confrontational in my approach to dealing with men who are myopic in thier stance on issues. I am following their progress in soccer and I want nothing more than to see TNT develop a regional power house in soccer and be one ahead of the opposition. Jamacia does share with us some similar attributes, but they are ranked higher, and they do get up for playing us and very much has a physical team.
I have seen now how to approach this whole posting thing: Me ah done the ole talk; ah go read allyuh postings and thing; I is an old tessie who eh need tuh be bothering people and the sorts, so allyuh go ahead ah go read and keep meh excitement tuh mehself. Allyuh is the new 'waariors' go fight the good fight.
Here is a copy of excerpts of one of my personal messages to Touches.
Hey Touches,
As far as I could discern, I could see no modifications to suggest that the document could be attributed to me except for the signiture at the end which is a programming signature.
I have made a disclamier at the beginning of the posting which looks like this:

First let me make this abundantly clear that this article is compliments of a local 'Warrior' hero at home who was at the game. I am presenting a pasted copy from the soca site to share with  our regional allies who are supportive of our endeavours in this WCQ CAMPAIGN. Touches, I hope we are on the same URL link and not on another site with a prefabrication of the article to cause we worries.
Respectfully submitted,
AlbertaTrini
