Players claim blacklist in effect.

Warriors Fume

Trinidad and Tobago's historic goalless draw against Sweden last June, on the twin island republic's World Cup debut in Germany, gave new meaning to the phrase "warrior spirit". But, these days, the "Soca Warriors" appear to have more problems with the enemy within.
The fight between players and administrators over promised bonuses seemed to have taken its toll on the rank and file, this week, as reserve goalkeeper Clayton Ince threatened legal action against his teammates in an effort to distance himself from the activities of the Football Players Association of Trinidad and Tobago (FPATT).
It prompted a plea by national players Stern John and Kelvin Jack for the Trinidad and TobagoFootball Federation (T&TFF) to come clean on a supposed blacklist that has seemingly denied the country's most experienced players from wearing red, black and white.
John, who represents English Championship Division club Sunderland, is Trinidad and Tobago's record goal scorer with 67 items while his 100 international appearances is second only to ex-CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh captain Angus Eve, who has 117 caps. He also scored five of the country's six goals in a crucial run of 2006 World Cup qualifying fixtures, two years ago, which clinched a Play Off battle against Bahrain.
But John, who is still available for selection, has not heard from the T&TFF in months. His position is identical to 15 of his World Cup teammates who threatened to take the local football governing body to court over bonuses arising from the team's participation in Germany. Midfielder Densill Theobald initially stood with the dissidents but backed down after being supposedly threatened with omission from the national squad.
"I am a bit disappointed that I didn't get a call (for national selection) but we heard that we were blacklisted," John told the Express, "although the Federation never contacted me personally and told me this was the case. We didn't want to go down this road with the Federation but they left us no choice.
"We had meetings with Groden and so on but things just weren't adding up at all. Even some of the local players who are training now say that the are not fit for a team that just played in a World Cup. Everything we worked so hard for in the summer just went out the window. It is a joke."
Jack, who represents English League One club Gillingham, is equally unimpressed with the treatment meted out to the Warriors. The 30-year-old goalkeeper returned to full training last week after a lengthy lay off with severe tendonitis in his left knee that rendered him unavailable for club and country.
But he also stressed that the T&TFF's alleged response to their bonus dispute is having a negative affect on the team and was eroding the gains made by their 2006 World Cup appearance.
"Players talk obviously and we have seen that players have been available and the Federation has not selected them," said Jack. "Maybe the Federation can explain why players from Aurtis Whitley and Cyd Gray come up are not being selected. Aurtis Whitley is the best player in Trinidad so how come he is not being selected?
"That is a question for the coach to answer It would be very unprofessional not to select a player for non-footballing reasons."
None of the radical 16 Warriors were summoned for national duty since last November's friendly 4-1 loss away to Austria when Trinidad and Tobago's sole item came from Dundee United winger Collin Samuel-another player who found himself on the wrong side of the bonus battle. It spans a period of eight matches under coach Wim Rijsbergen.
Oliver Camps, the president of the T&TFF, insisted that he knew of no such "blacklist" and suggested Rijsbergen had omitted the likes of Kenwyne Jones, Brent Sancho and Samuel on his own accord.
"The coach is doing what he has to do," said Camps. "There is no blacklist; not that I am aware of."
Rijsbergen, a former Holland World Cup player, declined the opportunity to confirm or deny the existence of a blacklist.
"That is something between the Federation and me," said the Dutchman. "I cannot give you an answer on that."
John is anxious to know more about his international future, especially with the CONCACAF Gold Cup coming up in June.
"Hopefully we (the Federation and the players) can get everything sorted by then," said John. "It will be really disappointing if this whole thing hampers the team because I think we turned the corner at the World Cup.
"I think that is one of the strongest Trinidad teams we ever had."
A decision on Trinidad and Tobago's strongest present squad, according to Camps, is a matter for Rijsbergen.

The Radical 16:

Avery John, Anthony Wolfe, Atiba Charles, Aurtis Whitley, Brent Sancho, Christopher Birchall, Collin Samuel, Cornell Glen, Cyd Gray, Evans Wise, Ian Cox, Kelvin Jack, Kenwyne Jones, Marvin Andrews, Shaka Hislop, Stern John.

Remember this

Now maybe I just under conspiracy thing, maybe I watching too much tv, or maybe the common sense kicking in. Thus the beauty of the forum and reviewing old posts came into helping me make this conclusion.

I was lil idle over the past few days and I was thinking to myself....Why would we deliberately pick a weak team, and why would our own PFL team screw us over?

Then developments take place....Why if we agree with Jabloteh for players why we only get 2. Why no Cyd, or Wolfe or WHitley?...why we cyar get all 8? ............and the threat that the players could be banned from club action if they ent show up for training.


Forumites the TTFF win. The plan they hatched since Nov 18th with the players impasse has finally bore fruit. This is our new national team and we have to accept it as such and wish them fellas the best because dais it for the Germany squad.

Alyuh remember this post TTFF threaten to go local for 2010 (http://www.socawarriors.net/forum/index.php?topic=22779.0)

Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation (T&TFF) general secretary Richard Groden yesterday declared his intention to eradicate the "anxieties" and "distractions" facing his organisation on the road to the 2010 South Africa World Cup, referring to their own players.
In a press release entitled "Update on Soca Warriors conflict", the T&TFF revealed they are considering asking players from the Trinidad and Tobago Pro League, as well as the Under-20 and Under-17 squads, to shoulder the responsibility of the 2010 World Cup campaign.
"We are actively contemplating a swifter than originally envisaged consideration of incorporating the rising brood of players," stated Groden's release, "from our Professional League, under-20 and even under-17 squads to form the nucleus of our team for 2010."
Groden, via a release, explained that the T&TFF were "contemplating" this "consideration" as a result of the players' "vacillation" over 2006 World Cup bonuses.


Now if you remember this post Update on Soca Warriors Conflict (http://www.socawarriors.net/forum/index.php?topic=22778.0)

These are the names of the fellas who strike:

6. Essentially, the 13 players involved publicly accused the TTFF of reneging on a contractual obligation made during the 2006 World Cup build-up. Captain Dwight Yorke read a prepared statement, which said (inter-alia): "We, the players of the National Team that participated in the World Cup 2006, would like to announce our consideration to retire from international football immediately after our next two games."

7. Appearing in demonstration of solidarity with the position articulated by Captain Yorke were: Dennis Lawrence, David Atiba Charles, Avery John, Chris Birchall, Carlos Edwards, Colin Samuel, Stern John, Kenwyne Jones, Jason Scotland, Brent Sancho and Cornell Glen.

So the locals, Whitley, Cyd, Theobold and Wolfe. Hush they mouth eat they biscuit and didnt stand in solidarity with the others cause they needed the TTFF to continue their careers.

Of those in training the non Jabloteh man make it. They use Fenwick as the cover to say they cyar play but really Cyd too old and not in the plans for 2010. Cyd done went on trials after WC and ent get tru with nuttin, dais it for he. Wolfe is Beenie boy and Beenie not here so he ent gettin pick and Whitley didn't go no training even doe he was invited.

Thus Theobold make it cause the ttff wanna give him cap so that he could fly out and give somebody a piece of money. If they wanted to write off theobold they could do so, but they using him to say they have experience in the side.

Also Daniel and Baptiste strengthenin the squad but they are the two hopefuls to next get contact abroad as they prove they could handle it so they there for caps...and Fenwick just waiting to collect a piece of money for them.

Watch meh this sounding like a good TV show eh, but watch it good. It making complete sense.

I disapointed in some of the players, all they men who drop out are a bunch of punks.

As players they should stick together.

even if you dont need the money or need the game for work permitthe players should stand as one.

Why the players are trying to achieve is a better standard of administration for the future.
WHich is what we need going forward.

I know a lot ah man here go cuss me out but, I must say:-

As a player don't you have a responsibility to your country and your fans.  ???

I know we cannot allow the administration to keep doing what they doing but, come one too, when you go abroad you also take on that responsibility of being called up for your country. Is either yes or know, depending on your heart.

I know that they owe dem money and thing, and is real f*ck up that Jackula is de one who reap all de benefits especially with the Timpaul scheme, but I remember George Weah playing for Liberia when de federation could not afford to field a team, he was one who was putting up de money.

Just a question!

I dunno if I misunderstand what u sayin eh bro, but from what I see the players say that they are available for selection. If u saying they should play regardless of the situation, I don't think that is the issue they dealing with. Once this lawsuit is pending TTFF plan is to fustrate dem by not picking dem cause as Stern said he is available. :beermug: :beermug:

I love how Lasana writes, however, this article making the players look desperate to get back on the team. Jack Warner must be laughing all now. Dont give Jack Warner anything to feed on, dont show him you weak or else he will devour you.

Come on Stern and Kelvin, allyuh make up allyuh mind, you may NEVER play for T&T again once Jack Warner there. Its to late to quit, so keep going strong and dont look back with what you guys are doing.

Allyuh get this PFA off de ground, many will always remember you for this. This have more value right now as it will benefit the younger ones, the TTFF will bring you down.

Together, we all can bring Jack Warner down to de lowest point of his life, but we must pull together and stick together. Them players who dont want to stand up with you guys like Dwight, Lawrence, Edwards, Latapy, Scotland  etc etc. is PUNKS !!!!! not for the money promised, but atleast to help get this PFA off the ground.

I cant wait for the day I see Jack Warner sink so low, a vargant wouldn't even waste his time to piss on him.

Oliver Camps and Richard Gorden is 2 DUNCE !!!!! and its only a matter of time Jack Warner jam them, ah cant wait for that day too.

And ah hope dat my interpretation correct, because dem fellas need to understand dat de Jackula is no creature to fool around wid.....yuh start ah fight wid he, be prepared to stand yuh ground...

Also,

This is why i did like beenie. From the get go as soon as they try to impose tey thing on him (latas/nakhid assistant coach and whatnot) he tell them flat what going on; my way or the hiway... allyuh hire me to do a job, let me do it.

That is why he get fired frm the saudi team even after he take them to the WC in 1994.
Too many cooks does spoil the broth; if JAck want to decide the fate ah trini football, he should name heself national coach, otherwise let the man do he wuk. Wim just too soft spoken to come out bold face and say it, but we know damn well what going on  >:(

Right now, I could think of a few plausible scenarios where it would be foolish for Wim to go to the press with a blacklist expose. Perhaps he is working it out with the TTFF (which is why he said it is between him and TTFF) and things may be at sensitive stage. Talking to the press would be like shooting himself in the foot. He also knows that if the press backs the TTFF in a corner..things would probably only get worse. Wim needs the foreign-based more than anyone here...I could understand why he might be trying to use diplomacy and tact in the face of the serpent

Ah know we taken up with ManU and de EPL and who better dan who....but dis morning on I95.5 fm.....Andre Baptiste's take on the blacklist is that in his opinion, there is no blacklist.

He says that if the players have sued the TTFF for monies from a past venture, how can they expect to be picked for current games......

Ah still pondering what he say, but ah know it have some reporters who eh like Lasana (like Anil Roberts) and since Lasana is de one who wrote the article that was referred to in the discussion ah need to conisder if "The Fearless One" has such a bias....Anybody know if he have an open bias (like Anil does)?.....

Anybody out there share his views??...my thoughts are that the players don't agree on this specific thing....but why should that affect their selection??....

Hhhhmmmm...

No he did not.  He was just asked to briefly give his opinion on the blacklist. And what I wrote before is basically what he said.  He didn't go into much more detail as the discussion was really centred around cricket and this question to him was really an aside.....maybe he'll deal with it in more detail at some point....I dunno.

c'mon...Trinis will act when they care about something. We marched for independence, we marched for black civil rights, we marched for worker's rights. All people's have their breaking points and act when they are passionate about something. Trinis just don't really care about football. It's that simple. We are a nation that can't guarantee a full stadium when our national team plays...youth teams?..stadium empty, club teams, women's teams? nada. yet, there those who act at home and abroad in the ways that they can. Even this site acts as a voice for suporters and a source of information and sharing ideas and action starts with ideas.  And the the warrior nation does quite a bit for our football and its players, even in its infancy. It is making its presence felt with the local press, and the TTFF. It supports players and fans alike in real tangible way. And there is more to come. Maybe we could do more...but let's not overly criticize. given your stance, i hope you are doing something to help.............bless.

Some,... more mlitant country might take more drastic actions ,but we have to bide our time ,until we find a way to disposeof these tyrants forever !!!.

Rijsbergen: Best team for Gold Cup (http://www.trinidadexpress.com/index.pl/article_sports?id=161128695)

Calling for fan clubs: Wim Rijsbergen


WIM RIJSBERGEN, Trinidad and Tobago's national senior team head coach, has reiterated that home-based players need to play alongside our footballers who play professionally in England, Scotland and the United States.

"If you want to improve the local players, you have to involve the foreign-based players, who are exposed regularly to a higher level of football," Rijsbergen said. "Of course, if we go to a Gold Cup we have to get the best team."

Rijsbergen was speaking on Wednesday night at the launch of the local Professional Football League. He hopes to see a few local players emerge from the Pro League to challenge for places on the national team. Rijsbergen will soon be resuming training for the June 6-24 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup, and said he will be meeting soon with the Pro League to streamline their fixtures.

"It's very important to everyone that we solve the problems, so that the best team is fielded. If we are going to win a Cup, it's important that we get the best team possible," said Rijsbergen.

The Dutchman also called on each local professional club to actively begin building a fan club, so that they can carry a few bus loads of their fans to away games. He said playing before a crowd builds the confidence of the players and makes them want to lift their standard.
