Title: Why is no one applauding Yorke?
Post by: jaffa on June 10, 2006, 07:05:26 PM: Take nothing away from Shaka - he was the man of the match. But Yorke was a madman out there - he won plenty of tackles and no one - press or on this board - seem to be singing his praises.
They watch the same game I did - he was a Warrior - doing what it takes to stay alive.

Post by: The_Ice on June 10, 2006, 07:11:28 PM: Yorke get FIFA player of the match i think that good for the man... Shaka didnt get it and we respect the way he paly that's why we biggin him up so much... he saved us from defeat... besides we aint mentioning one man... look carefully and u'll notice everyone getting recognised and talked abt... it was a team effort and everyone should be praised... i wouldnt fully give one man all the credit

Post by: jaffa on June 10, 2006, 07:13:27 PM: I agree that Shaka was man of the match and all deserve credit - no doubt - I am just surprised, I am in the US - that the press hasn't give Yorke more - becuase in my eyes he was a close #2 man of the match. That man playe dhis heart out and left it all on the field - but so did the rest of the crew - so I see how it hard to praise one man - it just a different role for him then the international soccer world is used to.

Title: yorke's play may convince bennie to play latas with him
Post by: ZURITRESS on June 10, 2006, 07:28:55 PM: i think with yorke showing that he can command the middle and hold his own defensively might convice bennie that he and latas can co exist without in balance

Post by: Trininho on June 10, 2006, 10:27:51 PM: I just watched the game again, and Yorke must be applauded for his decision to block the Swedish player from taking a quick free kick. The ball was in a dangerous position and the player was poised to take the kick quickly, but Yorke stepped in to delay the player. It cost Yorkie a yellow card, but it gave the defense time to reset. Good job Yorke. Superb team effort overall.

Yes breds...Yorke was playing like ten men almost in every position on the field.

Post by: bratachdubh on June 11, 2006, 12:17:57 AM: From a complete outsider's point of view Yorke was probably second only to Hislop - but Sancha was pretty close too. To me, the Man of the Match should have gone to the whole team, who stuck together in the second half after Avery's dismissal, and did what they had to do defensively whilst still hitting on the break.

The last ten minutes were nail-biting stuff.

All the best in the next two games, I'll be watching and hoping...

Jaffa, i think others see what you see too.Yorke play like a madman. Any set play, any break through Yorke was marking de "hot man" wether it was Lunjberg or Larsson Yorke was with them toe for toe step for step. Big up to Dwight Yorke for de best game he ever play for TnT.

THere were so many outstanding performances Yorke and others got swept under Shaka's rug but Carlos Edwards played Herculean as well as Cyd Gray who was "formerly known as shit gray" but will no longer where that banner. Me Mum was a boss today too as well as Samuel had a good start. But Shaka were de crown. Man of de next 3 matches...

Post by: shivadee on June 11, 2006, 05:25:34 AM: I dont think people were not applauding him spitefully or anything. For the match we were so busy watching our defence just build a wall for sweeden i think thats where the focus was.

just shaka was superb and to me sancho was the best man out there
Title: Re: Why is no one applauding Yorke?
Post by: JDB on June 11, 2006, 08:38:17 AM: Yorke's contributions were critical.

If anything it was Shaka who did his job. Yorke was a real calming influence on the team. Evrytime we got choked up in the middle and started to look troubled, Yorke glided in and calmed things down and played us out of trouble.

It was clear that off all the players we had on the pitch he was the one with the experience to direct our play. And his work off the ball in positioning himself to get involed in so many plays on defense was magnificant.

That being said, everybod was a giant yesterday. Special mantion to Cyd Gray, Carlos, Sancho, Birchall, Lawrence, Whitley (when he was runnig - I believe he is carrying an injury). Theobald was a little out of his depth. Samule and Stern were not bad. Samuel needs to make a run after he passes the ball and not stand up. Stern's trap and screen game was impressive but you wish he would chase lost causes a little more because it is easy for him to look lazy.

Title: Re: Why is no one applauding Yorke?
Post by: #4 on June 11, 2006, 09:54:20 AM: I AM!

and we all must remember that Yorke was once an out-and-out striker. his performance yesterday just testifies to the fitness, versatility, talent, and overall greatness of our #19.

but also big ups to (of course) Shaka, Sancho, Edwards, Lawrence, Glen, and Grey for playing to their full potential.

Well said. Birchall was O.K, but I guess that after his fantastic performances in the Mex, Bahrain, and Iceland games (to name a few), I was expecting more out of him. Maybe after A.John was sent off Beenie gave him instructions to play more of a defensive mid role.

Post by: Yaw on June 12, 2006, 07:07:30 AM: SIr Alex still looking for a man to replace Roy Keane. If he did only know that he had the right man in Yorke, he woulda never let him go. Big up Dwight Yorke - midfiled general. Bravo
Title: Re: Why is no one applauding Yorke?
Post by: meloTTWARRIOR on June 12, 2006, 10:37:43 AM: I think that is a good question they should give him more praise for what he did in that game on Saturday I hope he doesn't get any injuries so he come be a part of history making for T&T Football. (http://)

Post by: Yellowman on June 12, 2006, 10:42:47 AM: All the players showed that true fighting warrior spirit....

Of course some players stood out more for me Shaka,Yorke, Edwards and Sancho....

If they keep playing this way and who knows where we'll reach?
