Title: Corneal concerned about timing [of squad selection].
Post by: E-man on April 13, 2006, 06:31:29 AM
Corneal concerned about timing.
T&T Newsday Reports.


Former Trinidad and Tobago footballer and coach Alvin Corneal is questioning the early selection of the Soca Warriors team for the upcoming World Cup in Germany.
Corneal who played both cricket and football for Trinidad and Tobago said yesterday he is confused with the selection of the team one month before the FIFAdeadline of May 15.
Corneal also said he thought a few other players could have been considered and although they may not have been selected on the national team, he felt they could have been looked at by the national coach.
Among those overlooked he said was CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh midfielder Kerry Baptiste and United States-based Osei Telesford whom he described as better than any defender on the TT team.
Corneal, who is a FIFA Match Analyst said he was a bit surprised with the selection of some players who were left out of the team during the CONCACAF qualifying campaign.
He pointed to striker Cornell Glen who he said has done nothing to deserve a pick after being left out for so long. Corneal also charged that David Atiba Charles, Brent Sancho and Anthony Rougier would not be on his team for the World Cup Finals.
He said it was difficult to determine how the coach was thinking, but suggested that national team coach Leo Beenhakker would have based his selection, rightfully on what he has seen of the players so far.
Also commenting on the 24-man squad named yesterday by Beenhakker was Richard Braithwaite, a former national team manager who is the current CONCACAF Development Officer based at the Dr Jao Havelange Centre of Excellence in Macoya.
Braithwaite said he was satisfied with the squad selected by Beenhakker. He said it was good to see Atiba Charles, Glenn, goalkeeper Clayton Ince and in-particular Rougier on the shortlist since he said, they have worked extremely hard to catch the coach’s eye.
He described Rougier as the best utility player in Trinidad and Tobago whom any coach would consider an asset especially if their team playing in their first World Cup Finals.

I wonder if Alvin realises that he was not the coach who got our team to its 1st World Cup finals and as a result its that coach and not him who picks our team for the Finals?  ::)

If Mr Teleford SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good as to be better than ANY of the T&T defenders, then WHY isn't he playing for SAY GLASGOW RANGERS. As for  leaving out Sancho and Rouger...

Who Telesford plays for???
Who does Marvin, Sancho etc:play for??
I am sure allyuh notice since Sancho back on the team at Gillingham they have not lost a game and climbing nice. They was on de border of relegation and now they sitting pretty. I think if the coach had kept him on the team they could have been fighting for a promo spot...
question, if Port Vale and Gillingham made playoff spot, who would you prefer see move up?? Same goes for Coventry and Luton....

Yuh know what is de worst part about all of dis?

IF Beenie ride out after de World Cup, yuh know who go be left to continue underminin and sabotagin T&T football again.  Yep...dat's right....de one and only Alvin Corneal.  Right now, Alvin cyah do nadas because Beenie in control and Alvin have ZERO say.

I still doh get why a man who know football as much as Alvin does do de tings he do.  Hoesntly, cyah figure it out other than to say he jes plain bad mind and doh like nobody.  Ah want to see if he go f*&k up he own son.  Anton did done cave worryingly wit de Ricky Shakes & de U 20's affair so it already have some precedent.

when Cornmeal take ah team to the WC, then he could pick who he want and announce the team when he want.

Beenie coulda annouce the team the day after we beat Bahrain, because it have no surprises and the same men who take us to the WC have dey name written down on the piece of paper. he feel England, Sweden & Paraguay didn't already anticipate that we sticking with who we have. is not like we living in Brazil with 100million people and ah bag ah talent waiting for a sweat.

Beenie name he squad and men could now exhale and concentrate on preparations.

Timing????

Corneal only braying!  But don't blame the man...He has been conditioned to think that way. It eh he fault!  He is a victim of " WE ONGOING PROCRASTINATION".  

Think about it.  Waiting on the last to get a practice game.  Waiting on the last to pick a team.  Always waiting on the last to prepare.  

So it goes..on and on...and up until Beenie, yuh see what type of results we get.

Look....the time is now...we reach!  Lets get on with it.  Win, loose or draw...the time is now.

P.S.  Ah only hope Anton learning a ting or two.  But then again...yuh never know...considering "the fatherly destabilising influence".

Luv U T&T!

We got to cool down guys,this is just Alvin Corneal's opinion,everybody here have an opinion and nobody challenges them,Alvin is not the Coach so what ever he says is irrelevant,in everything we need some opposition to make it interesting,if Alvin had not said that this post would have died already.

Having said that, i want to say i like the alternative thinking that Alvin has,but the big question is what other choices does Benie have,our player pool is very limited,any group of players could have been picked and it would not make a difference in the way we play,you can pick about six T&T teams and you will observe the same players either on or off them.

There will always be disagreements where who should or should not be selected,the only thing that stops that is if you win,so relax guys and don't let Alvin raise your blood pressure.

All of a sudden we have the best coaches in T&T. Beenhakker accomplished what no other man has done before, but still Corneal flapping.

Question.

Wasn't Corneal a T&T coach in the past, what did he accomplished ? did we even win the Shell Cup under him ?

Let Alvin keep opening his mouth, he will only make it better for his Son Anton.... 8)....

PS: I never new Kerry Baptiste and Osei Telesford was defenders....  :rotfl:

What would be the point of waiting until Grenada? This isn't rhetorical, I actually want to know what advantage we could have gained. Mexico named their squad - of 26 men - nearly 2 weeks before we did. They've been using that time to experiment with different players, tactics and positions. The longer we wait, the less flexibility we have. And I think we have to approach this squad - which will be going to the Peru friendly - and the team that Beenie will send to play Grenada differently. Like it or not, right now there are two tiers in T&T football - the men who going Germany in June, and the men who might be going South Africa in 2010.

Who is Cornmeal Cornbread CornCurls Corneal to question Beenhakker's timing of naming the players and his choice of players?

So this man eh see that Beenhakker choosing a team not for SHELL CUP Digicel Cup but for WORLD CUP?  He eh know who Beenhakker coached and where before or what?  He eh realize that there are 24 people on the team and that only 23 going or what?  He eh realize that that will translate into men practicing all hour to make sure that they fit before they come to the most intensive do-or-die training sessions ever in T&T football history or what?  Does he even think?  CAN he even think? 

Yes, RoastCorn has the right to an opinion, but truly, there are two types of people:

#1: Those that have something to say.
#2: Those that have to say something.

It's amazing for someone with de credentials of Corneal dat he never amounted to anything substantial. He never even carry ah local club to national Champions and he is de quickest ting to bump he gums.

When was the last time Corneal said anything that made sense ? Steups.... I grown to expect nothing else from him. Complete and utter dotishness! How in God's name is Osei Telesford better that Dog, Lawrence and Sancho ? What is his criteria for saying so. Who on this team would Kerry Baptiste unseat?   How many international caps does Kerry Baptiste have ? Of what use would he be on this team?

The coach is trying to maintain relatively the same squad that we qualified with for good reason. Our strengths lie in our solidarity as a team. Bringing in new players in an ad hoc manner would compromise that strength. If Corneal were the coach we wouldn't stand a chance.

she defines the word 'waggonsista'

wat corneal has now done is make it doubly hard for baptiste to get a shot. by putting his mouth on the boy and talking nonsense about telesford being the best defender he gone and spoil things for telesford too. baptiste is a good player but so too are the 24 players named. hopefully he gets a shot. who knows, he may end up getting a shot.

I dont agree wit Corneal talking publically about it, but I kinda disagree wit a couple decisions beenie made.
1 Why is Scott Sealy not on the list??? I am not just saying this cuz he went my school but he is one of the most complete strikers we have
2 Why 24? The one person who is left out will cry for a week, if beenie wanted to produce competition then he coulda had 28 players and give everybody a chance, we have plenty time to cut ppl out.
3 Why Ince ahead of Warner? Ince has hardly played this season and is not the most positive influence on the team. Rougier's experience may have put him in (tho I feel he will be the one to get cut) maybe experience is what put him in the team too

The fact is he selected 23 players but the 24 is as an urge to Rougier whose position will only be finalised when and if he shows that he is able to compete at the level that Beenie needs him to. As he stated he selected players based on what his starting team is and options that he might need in the tournament. In selecting Rougier he considered all his qualities and weighed them against his fitness. Rougier has his place in his hands right now.

This is why Corneal and the others are not successful at coaching TEAMs, they don't have good evalution techniques, talking all this B.S.

Its better to have fewer players to cut, this gives the coach a better view of all the players, and by having only one or two being cut it keeps everyone on their toes. This is psychology 101. With a great number, people tend to get complacent and start thinking it's someone else getting cut and not me.

why ince over warner i will say why leo said for a player to get in the squad he has to be EXCEPTIONALLY better. warner just be slightly better  than ince and jack but not waywayway better. But i would have taken warner over ince.

Post by: kingman on April 17, 2006, 08:42:18 AM
Let me try to address the article in a proper manner. First thing first.....

Osei Telesford

Osei is a very good defender. Very composed, aggressive and full of youth and enthusiasm. I would not be bold enough to say that he is one of the better defenders if matched up with our local defenders. There are many solid local defenders in Trinidad and Tobago. Osei also lacks experience and exposure. Therefore, I would not put him in front of Brent, Tony or Atiba Charles. These players are experienced defenders (season professionals). Osei is a school boy. I think if he continues good form he should be used as soon as the World Cup is completed; Building process for 2010. As of right now, he should be out of the picture.

On a different none, Osei was brought up under Corneal during his football career. Him and Darryl Roberts. This might be the main reason why he (Corneal) made that statement about Osei. I mean, thinking about it, they saw Osei play over the Christmas break, 1 week while in camp under Bennie man and maybe while at Liberty. Would that have been good enough time to day that he is one of the better defenders in Trinidad and Tobago? Maybe not!!!

Corneal Corneal Corneal.......

I believe that Corneal have the right to state his opinion (as anyone should). The article may be fraud in some ways (Maybe). The reason why i said that is because there is no direct quotation of Corneal saying anything. The article is totally paraphrased so there might be some false information or misleading statements. Nevertheless, putting that aside, I believe that an influencial personell in TT football should not come out in public and disagree with the head of the senior team (or head of any other team for that matter). It is not a good sign of respect and moral/physical support. Yes, there would be times when you would disagree but the manner in which Corneal did it is not professional. I also believe that what Alvin said is a reflection of the sentiments shared by his father Anton. They both think that they are god sent individuals to take over Trinidad and Tobago football (possessing an “know it all attitude” and “do what I say not as I do” mentality).

I will continue to support Bennie man. Although I am somewhat disappointed in our preparations thus far, I would continue to show Bennie continued support and respect.  I guess there are external factors that can be the cause of that. Bennie has done what no coach in Trinidad has done so far, and as a result, should be given the respect and authority to control the team as he very much like.

I think Corneal should take his father, family etc and go back down to North Carolina and control your youth under 20 team down there. Do not try to take over or continually be a hater to Trinidad and Tobago football and T & T football decisions especially in a time like this. You got your chance, and you and Brian failed. Now let somebody else go at it.

Let me try to address the article in a proper manner. First thing first.....

Osei Telesford

Osei is a very good defender. Very composed, aggressive and full of youth and enthusiasm. I would not be bold enough to say that he is one of the better defenders if matched up with our local defenders. There are many solid local defenders in Trinidad and Tobago. Osei also lacks experience and exposure. Therefore, I would not put him in front of Brent, Tony or Atiba Charles. These players are experienced defenders (season professionals). Osei is a school boy. I think if he continues good form he should be used as soon as the World Cup is completed; Building process for 2010. As of right now, he should be out of the picture.
i agree  totally......
On a different none, Osei was brought up under Corneal during his football career. Him and Darryl Roberts. This might be the main reason why he (Corneal) made that statement about Osei. I mean, thinking about it, they saw Osei play over the Christmas break, 1 week while in camp under Bennie man and maybe while at Liberty. Would that have been good enough time to day that he is one of the better defenders in Trinidad and Tobago? Maybe not!!!

Corneal Corneal Corneal.......

I believe that Corneal have the right to state his opinion (as anyone should). The article may be fraud in some ways (Maybe). The reason why i said that is because there is no direct quotation of Corneal saying anything. The article is totally paraphrased so there might be some false information or misleading statements. Nevertheless, putting that aside, I believe that an influencial personell in TT football should not come out in public and disagree with the head of the senior team (or head of any other team for that matter). It is not a good sign of respect and moral/physical support. Yes, there would be times when you would disagree but the manner in which Corneal did it is not professional. I also believe that what Alvin said is a reflection of the sentiments shared by his father Anton. They both think that they are god sent individuals to take over Trinidad and Tobago football (possessing an “know it all attitude” and “do what I say not as I do” mentality).

I will continue to support Bennie man. Although I am somewhat disappointed in our preparations thus far, I would continue to show Bennie continued support and respect.  I guess there are external factors that can be the cause of that. Bennie has done what no coach in Trinidad has done so far, and as a result, should be given the respect and authority to control the team as he very much like.

I think Corneal should take his father, family etc and go back down to North Carolina and control your youth under 20 team down there. Do not try to take over or continually be a hater to Trinidad and Tobago football and T & T football decisions especially in a time like this. You got your chance, and you and Brian failed. Now let somebody else go at it.

grain of salt ( a one pound bag ah salt! )
To “take something with a grain of salt” is to view a statement with a skeptical attitude.

(With) a grain of salt is a literal translation of a Latin phrase, (cum) grano salis. A pinch of salt may also be used.
In common parlance, if something is to be taken with a grain of salt, it means that a measure of healthy skepticism should be applied regarding a claim; that it should not be blindly accepted and believed without any doubt or reservation.

dis is the REASON for de Picong, and ONLY this

westcoast, that is why ah respect yuh shooter. thanx!! ah tell alyuh already, i is ah arsehole. doh take me on. let mans mine dey business.
