"His agent is carded to hold talks with Falkirk next week and Rahim is hoping that there will be some resolution regarding his playing time. Possible moves to Belgium or the German Bundesliga are in the pipeline."
RAHim should fire his agent and get realistic talking crap about him getting a contract in the bundesliga and he cyar even play in the scottish first division .I cannot see him starting ahead of spann,tiger theobald boucard or even nahkid
his agent shud try mls for him close to home an a pace he cud handle
la galaxy-joe public bad move number 1
wonder if a better one comes wat he go do
If Latapy couldn't coach and mentor Rahim into becoming a decent player for Falkirk perhaps its better that he doesn't come back to coach T&T.
la galaxy-joe public bad move number 1
wonder if a better one comes wat he go do
Hindsight is 20/20. US$20,000? Burger flippers at McDonalds does mek more in a year. I did an interview with Rahim after the T&T vs USA match in Foxboro in 2001 and that was the time he was considering that offer as well as other European offers.
Yuh cyah blame de man fuh holdin out fuh Europe. Joe Public was a interim ting. More importantly, if he did sign wit MLS dem woulda own ALL he rights and dem get de transfer fee so dey dictate where he could go to. At the time...it was the right decision fuh Brent. He had trials at West Ham where he was liked but was a victim of the numbers game. From there...his career went downhill but yuh cyah blame him for the route he chose.
....Shoulda never leave West Ham !!!
descent player he could not break into west ham first team and neither falkirk in his second season
Rahim is not a defender, but in his "defence" from an attacking standpoint 99 percent of the plays ran through the left side. I see he was doing something probably from in practice all game, sprinting forward and then stopping sharply and coming back for the ball ,while Cyd would kick it up the ifled.. so if the man is no defender and all he have to do is defend, he must look shitty...
Does anyone know what is the status of Brent Rahim? Did he find a club yet?
I would hate to see any of our players fall by the wayside? Honestly, I think he needs to find regular first team football ANYWHERE and take it from there.
Hi I'm a Port Vale fan the club Birchall and Sam play for.
We now have Brent Rahim on trial aswell and he is playing in a pre-season game for us tonight.
Anyone have anything to say on what type of player he is, how he's played for the national team etc??
Cheers
This is real news to me :o. Anyway Brent Rahim can be a very good player, he played for Falkirk last season and now they're competing in the SPL. He has loads of talent and was recently on trial at LA Galaxy in the MLS. He would definitely be able to compete effectively in this league. I guess you'll be able to judge for yourself tonight.
Striker Hector Sam has been left out of the squad for the game, but manager Martin Foyle expects the player to be recalled for the rest of the World Cup qualifying programme, starting at home to Guatemala on September 3.

This ent making sense to me ??? I wonder if beenie told him that or is Foyle just talking nonsense as usual
Imagine a man who starting for the team aint get a call up but a man trying to make even the bench on his way to play a WCQ vs USA!!!
Sam and Rahim playin de same position? Sometimes allyuh jes like to flap allyuh beak fuh nutting yuh know.
Oh wait....nex ting yuh go say..."Well Sam could play midfield"..... ::)

Tallman give me some stats on Palos posts and dem: in what percentage of them does he use the words 'flap' 'beak' 'gums' and 'bump' I am curious, I am going to guess about 98%Imagine a man who starting for the team aint get a call up but a man trying to make even the bench on his way to play a WCQ vs USA!!!
Sam and Rahim playin de same position? Sometimes allyuh jes like to flap allyuh beak fuh nutting yuh know.
Oh wait....nex ting yuh go say..."Well Sam could play midfield"..... ::)
So what if they play the same position, if they thought he was good enough they would have contracted him, and if they thought he was better than Sam they would start him too.
So again my point is PortVale dont see fit to sign Rahim (as yet) but he can make out national side over Sam. It was just an observation on my part, I did not say I personally thought one was better than the other or that I had a problem with the selection process, but I guess you Palos does take the flapping of my beak personally...chirp chirp chirp ;D
Valiants:
Is Rahim being seriously considered of they just giving him a run in the training squad?
What's the deal with how he is really doing and what do the fans think of him....worth signing and vying for first team action or just nice to have around the training ground?

i think we are considering offering him a contract, i saw him play yesterday, played as a central midfielder, looked very skillful but got pushed off the ball often.
To be fair, i've seen him for about 15mins so i can't judge him. What position is his best and how would you describe him.
With regards to Hector, he's been renowned as being a tough opponent for some time. He has a good reputation at this standard in the English leagues.
they must be looking to sign him so they can have more of a chance of rescheduling due to intl callups, because why would they want rahim? he hasnt lived up to his potential
Who could give a good assesment of where Rahim plays best...where he used to play for UConn etc etc.
I know some of allyuh play ball with him.
From what I see he look better in center mid...attacking maybe.
.
I like Port Vale because they show love for our players, but why was Hector excused ? if we needed him he should have been called, are you telling me we can only call one Vale player at a time,,,, so if Hector is coming for the Costa Rica game then Birchall wouldn't ?
Sam, I think you have to read between the lines...we have guests eyes on us, so I hope nobody come out and state the obvious but check this one out
Mc you misunderstand Palos completely. They do NOT play the same position. That is why it is not useful to compare their positons at the club to their fitness for national selection. Sam is a forward - only two slots in the starting lineup and he is competing with Jones, Stern Yorke, Sealey, Glenn.
Rahim is a midfielder, different postion, more squad places, different competition for places.
I glad for Rahim Homefully he can get settled down and get a run and some fittness.
we will need him for 2010
We cannot discard our young players who already have good experience
Beenie for the love of god get your ass on a plane to Germany and check out Wise for our left side!
Brent Rahim has been signed by Swedish Second Division club EL Sylvia ...
I wonder how we overcome all these language barriers.
Do even smaller clubs have interpreters?

I wonder how we overcome all these language barriers.
Do even smaller clubs have interpreters?
either they have interpreters, or the english speaking teammates help you out in the beginning. it is up to the player to learn the language on his own. biggre clubs have tutors, but most clubs expect the player to take lessons, or teach themselves....if evans wise is playin good ball he deserves ah chance...
definitely...but why do we assume that Beenie hasn't already looked at him and is not interested. a few good performances in the german 3rd division does not necessarily mean he is playing good ball. Wise was always a good dribbler but he was never consistant and didn't have a complete game. he wasn't that great 7 years ago in my opinion.
Rahim is a good player still, but I think he made a number of poor career choices after leaving UConn. He think he would have settled well in the MLS and could have built from there nistead of going to Bulgaria...where he would have a much harder time adjusting. I thought he revived his career with a move to West Ham and it would have been great too, if he could have settled at Falkirk and was playing Scottish first division. But he rejected MLS and then never settled at the other clubs for whatever reasons. I am glad he has signed with a club...but he is better than the Swedish 2nd division. Promotion to the Swedish first division though may spell a nice change in fortune
When u watch it we not too different from Brazil. We just don't have an Adriano
I like when men sound so authoratative but talk so much shite...you know the man business??poor choices..just a little info...lagalaxy starting salary was 28,000 a year..in la...man was staying 4 people to a 2 bedroom apartment and anybody knows that 28 g's aint no money......not for a professional footballer who could make 4 times that away..so all I saying is know yuh facts before you talk

He values the fact that Rahim has decent technique and can follow instructions. If rahim get a MLS contract he making de 23. Jes' ah observation on how Beenie move in the past. Rahim only lost his spot cuz he was out of contract.
I doh know what tuh say about Rahim. It is going on 5 years now dat he has turned professional and he has never been able to command a regular starting position at any club.He did at Joe Public.

Alyuh not nice.
I think Rahim cud make Beenie WC squad
As de Pilot hehehehe :rotfl:
I feel Rahim probably know how tuh fly de plane dem now.
But seriously it sad. He has never been able to get his mind in the game and improve from college ball to pro football. He has the talent but not the heart, best he pick up painting or some odda crap cuz he ain't love de football :'(

If is anyting...might be de oddah way around. De amounta trial he went on....de constant rejection yet he keep goin back show he have plenty character but PERHAPS not the talent they lookin for.

Allyuh fellas not nice nah....the man have to have something Keegan see it beenie see it....It just really kinda sad te time factor may have passed for him at his age 27 I think coaches not looking for potential but rather for production and he is extremely inconsistent and when his game is struggling he tries too hard and it gets even worse like struggling in quicksand he need to relax and show some composure in his game I know as trinis we goh pelt ole talk but this really sad .... I rather back him than diss him here....not an easy road

I wouldn't say Rahim is shit. I think he is just failed to turn his potential into results. How many of us remember when he burst onto the National Senior Team scene? People were calling him the next Latapy. The sad thaing is that since then he hasn't really improved much, and has maybe regressed due to lack of regular playing time, low confidence etc.
I for one always found that he tended to struggle at the International Senior level. He looks uncomposed, hurries his passes, and loses possession way too easily and frequently. But successive National Team coaches keep calling up the man. Why? Maybe he is a practice champ? maybe they see flashes of brilliance?
I wish him all the luck, and hope that he can settle with a club somewhere. Right now I am sure that W Connection or Jabloteh are not looking that bad as options anymore.

I would have to agree, Brent was in meh form class in form 3 at St. Anthony's, made the Intercol side then, not sure of how many have a fairly reputable intercol side in form 3. This side had just lost the likes of Wise and Mitchell, still had some talent, so quite an accomplishment for him. Not sure what the issue is with his progress, but do wish him the best of luck as well....

That is wah make you mature ent?
My stance on Rahim is this , i had the opportunity to work him at Ken Elie's Coaching school on a couple occasions,that was years ago,he is a mild manered sort of laid back kind of guy and that will not work in this profession,in a nutshell it's dog eat dog here everything is a fight on and off the field.
He is not an individual/impact player,he is not the type of player that will stand out with the rest,he is a good team player,he depends on if a team is playing well he will have a good game but he is not the kind of player that will make a team play well.

Rahim have real supporters here but if yuh was he partner and true friend you woulda tell him like it is..................Brent hard luck doe last for so long with so much teams.
Yuh lil shitty and yuh cyar cut it as a professional, yuh gettin ole and its time to move on in life.
Yuh have a degree and yuh high brown in colour, doe frighten yuh could get a wuk with some connections.
For all who say he good and he was the next Latapy and have talent......ask yuhself this, what really has Rahim done for TT.
He had one good half against Canada in a friendly under bertille St Clair way back when, what piece of brilliance he do since.
truth be told players with more ability than he get discarded, is everybody does give Rahim a chance and he never step up he game.
He becoming like a Nigel Pierre.....one setta trials and training stint and nuttin, but he have potential.
Mr. Rahim, football gave you an education,employment, the opportunity to run some hoes and travel the world. Its time to say thanks for the Blessings and look to move on to life after football.
brent remind me a lot of carlos in the earlies; both had similar styles...if carlos could now buss out, take yuh time brent, you will reach too.

touches you put it real plain but you are right all the way. Some are cut out for the big stage others are not. Plenty horses break de track record at exercise but when the bugle calls they trail.
rahim is not an international footballer and he would do well to heed your advice.
A man compare rahim to carlos.
Daz jus mess
Carlos has something that rahim lacks, and is perhaps the main reason why he hasn't found further success his career...SPEED
At the highest level the man looks slow, so his technique, vision etc.. are wasted.
Rahim could make Jabloteh?
dwarika, hardest and rahim in de mid would have been nice, but say wha, joe public winnin dis year :beermug:
come on jabloteh. rahim is with the best club in t&t but i reckon he will have a big fight for a spot on the team. he should settle down and play and forget about the world cup. i cant see him making that world cup team.
I didn't even hear any talk of the world cup where Rahim is concerned... ??? He seemed to be promising but now has just fizzled out.
dwarika, hardest and rahim in de mid would have been nice, but say wha, joe public winnin dis year :beermug:

Rahim hits back at unfair comments for representing T&T.Shaun, yuh doh have to spin the story. What role did Sancho's injury status at the time he left, have to do with the decision to sit him down? Yuh spent the first half rehabilitating Rahim from Hughes " erroneous" statements, but you turn around and omit valuable information to make Sancho appear as though he was overlooked because of his patriotic stance. Shame on you!

National midfielder Brent Rahim has i .......................................................................................... ........
Meantime, Rahim’s close pal, Brent Rahim has had some reason to smile again after also going through a rough patch with his club. Defender Brent Sancho made a rare appearance for Gillingham on Tuesday and netted in their 3-2 win over Brentford. Previously, Sancho was blasted by the club’s management for choosing club over country and was left out of the team and then priced out of the market when he tried to go on loan recently.
“It definitely has been one of the roughest periods since I moved to England. Not only because I have been left off the squad week after week but because it came at a time when I needed to be playing with World Cup team selection around the corner. I was in a position where everything was out of my hands even though I was fit and ready to go. Now I have hopefully done something that will give me some more playing time and I think the fans saw it in the last game. They were singing my name right around the clock and hopefully the management got the message because the fans were also expressing their disappointment with my absence from the team. But I’m leaving the rest up to God. I know this is a very critical time for all the players from the national team and I think we all need to be supportive of each other and hope for the best as the World Cup comes up,” Sancho said.
hi everyone am a new member and i think that Brent Rahim should be on the team.He is a an excellent midfielder that has good crosses but i think he just has very bad luck with his clubs and the national team he is fit now and attached to a local club he surely as the ability and skill to do better than Riki shakes.Tell me what you all think
I am an old member and I think that Brent Rahim is overrated and not very talented as his number of call-ups to the National side suggests. He was below par in Europe and thats why he is home fighting for a place on Jabloteh's side. If he was so good he would have still been in Europe.

I remember seeing this yute played and he had serious dribbling skills.. He had this one 360 he used to use a lot. A very decent player I wish he could come back into the fold . I always like seeing him play ..
ah takings bets....once rahim stay fit and stay at jabloterh ....he in de 23 for de world cup.....100tt or some beers or whatever...leh we go

He was on loan at West Ham while dey were fighting for premiership survival (ah wonder who could remember dat) for six months and just couldnt get the break even though the coach was commending him in the reserve league.
The coach apparently didnt want to make any player adjustments to the team at the time, but rahim was getting rave reviews in the match reports.
He also was the Young player of the year at falkirk so that has to say something!!
But that said, i think he has fallen off the radar and isnt as good a player as he was about 2-3 years ago. If he was, he definitely would have landed a contract at the MLS. (but then again, i dont know the circumstance!!)
He is no right winger though, so he cyar make dat side in place of shakes.
He competing wit Birchall, Theobald, Yorke Whitley Spann and de General for a place in de middle.
ah love it!!
I agree and I've said it many times before on this site that in previous years during the gold cup the annoucers was calling rahim the phenomenom which is ah name given to young talent players.........Ronaldo was also known as the phenom so rahim is definitely ah talented football player that was supposed to be like the next big thing to come out of T&T but I too think that he was a victim of circumstances........I eh know if he would or could make T&T world cup squad but I wish the man all the best and hope he could get back to playing he best football :)
Rahim was always crap. He lucky Jablo even waisting their time on a hound like himself
What roster he is shitRahim was always crap. He lucky Jablo even waisting their time on a hound like himself
Now.. I dont think he deserve to make the cut for Germany.. but yuh ent have to blast the man like this.. can you play better than him??
doh f_ck up the man like that.. with some improvement and hard work he can make the roster again.. trust me
Spidey I ent understand wha yuh mean dey.
How we end the man career?
The man was a good college baller and jest couldnt step up to the next level.
Congrats to him for completing his studies and improving himself. That is the best play he make so far.
...has decided to take a break from professional football.
“It’s a decision I took recently because I felt it would be right to complete the degree and then put the boots back on again. I gave it up in 2000 to concentrate on football and I felt the time was right now to go back to the classroom. But I haven’t totally given up on the game,” Rahim added.
yup. rahim was good but i played with him at alcons. he was good but. not as good as everyone made him feel he was. he listened to the hype. was he overated maybe..maybe not. at anyrate looking good in college ball eh mean nuttin in trini anymore nah. cause de standard had dropped of significantly and maybe jus start to pic back up. when he played for trini(never see him for west ham ) he looked lost and outta sorts often. so. well good luck with yuh studies man. u getting ole. time to"fall" back on d e books....has decided to take a break from professional football.

Rahim will be 28 next week. His professional career has never materialized, so I doubt he will be coming back tuh play ball at de pro level.
who was he playing with in the ttpl?san jaun
He not eligible for College ball anymore.
1) i pretty sure he play his 4 years for UConn and
2) He played professionally, NCAA is amateur athletics.
He going to back to help them with the coaching side of things.
everybody fighting down the man...let me ask you this....name 10 trinidad players who played with a club in the EPL......
1. dwight- manu
2. shaka-west ham
3. rahim- west ham
so everybody say the man a shithound this and that...but the truth is he was one of the only player to be with such a club from trinidad...not carlos, birchall, dennis, sam none of them fellas was ever with a top flight club....
so what is alyuh basis for being a failure? the fact that he didnt stay with the club long? He was also the first man to play in bulgaria from trini.
Jefferz he career ent done...we have a opening on we fete match side. :rotfl:
Trials in the QPS on a saturday afternoon from 4:30 pm.
Warm up = 4 stag
Stretch, run.
When the ball goes out yuh hadda take a capfull of rum.
You are expected to last at least 2, 30 min thirds.
Half time is one stag and a cap of Black Label.
When game done a min of 6 beers to recover and put back all the salts and fluids lost in your exertion.
Only a special breed could make we fete match side. The fitness levels of the athletes in we squad better than the national team.
He not eligible for College ball anymore.
1) i pretty sure he play his 4 years for UConn and
2) He played professionally, NCAA is amateur athletics.
He going to back to help them with the coaching side of things.
He can still play college ball provided he didn't finish his 4 year eligibility as yet. It doesn't matter if he played pro sports. There was a case a few years ago regarding american football quarterback Chris Weinke where he went to play pro baseball and then decided at 28 to return to college and play football, so brent could still play once he didnt use up his 4 years.

Men who play for trinidad and play in de premeirshipAnd nothing wrong with that.
Yorke - Aston Villa
Shaka - West Ham
Stern - Birmingham
Jones - Southampton
Marcelle - Barnsley
Shakes - Bolton......he make some league cup appearances
Warner - Fulham
NB:- Duscam, Rahim never made a first team appearance for West Ham and the club was relagated that year. In fact, he never had a contract with them because they took him on a six month lean!!
ah love it
this is a straight case of de man realising that he is going nowhere with football so he has decided to go with plan B!
ah love it!!
De only Indian on we team f**king retiring we.... :rotfl: :rotfl:
Now I only hope Kaejay Ramdoo (u-16), Javed Mohammed (u-20) and Sookoo and dougla ranking Kendall Jagdeosingh could step it up.
So indian not black ? you is ah real ass in true we.... is have some blue india.
Rahim can't play.
What stopping de man from PAYING for his own education and playing.
Former pros who go back to Uni can't play. I thought that was only for scholarship.
Didn't Alibey go to Univ. after playing pro for ASL?

Madness. His window of eligibility has expired. You have five yers to play four years of collegiate athletics, and Brent has also negated his amateur status, since he has been compensated to play professionally. De man going to coach; that is all he can do now. He cannot play.

All Let me state some facts,
Brent went to NEWCASTLE at 16
Brent went to UCONN left with one semester to complete his degree in Psychology not sports psychology
At UCONN Brent was one of the top players in the USA for 4 years Winning Three rings
2 regional titles and the big one the National Title the number 1 in diamonds.
The facts finders if I am not mistaken the only Trinis to hold the Division 1 rings are
Brent Sancho
Brent Rahim
Brents Team Mate
Nigel Grovesnor not sure?
Brent Played in Copa Caribe or SHell CUp Trinidad won the Title
He then went to Bulgaria won the league and Cup Titles with Levski Sofia
Then moved to West Ham on loan for six months then to Falkirk.
At Falkirk played first year then whatever happened the coach decided not to play him
in the second year. During all this he never got to hold a consistant place on the national team. Question If you are the next player with talent how come coaches are not giving you the opportunity to play the game in the best position for you?
Played himself out of the team with low confidence and fight down. There are people on this board like Jahyouth and Andre Samuel for some reason can pass judgement on people as if they know every thing, like is personal with Brent.
Not one of you ever tought you would back some of the players on that national team but you did but for some reason Brent is always seen in a negative light. Read the above he did accomplish alot more that most. Probably did not reach the top, some of it you can control alot you cant.
Thank God some people can see the glass half full and thank Brent for at least trying to make his country proud rather than robbing somebody in their homes.

Commendable move. Is a risk going pro and neglecting education no matter how nice it might seem. A nex man i think do that was glentonn wolfe......hope he doh regret he decision. Hopefully Brent go take this time to consolidate and yuh never know what could happen.
Trinidad and Tobagos midfielder Brent Rahim graduated from the University of Connecticut last Sunday with a Bachelor of Arts in Sports Psychology and a minor in Sociology. Brent was quoted as saying that he is delighted to complete this chapter in his life; it is always important to have a second career, and he is eager to resume his football career and looking towards 2010 in South Africa.

Good Morning,
Trinix said Brent and Sancho are the only Trinis to have Div. 1 ring. That's not true. Ian Bain, Trevor Leiba abd Keth Lookloy also have rings for Howard U(1974) team that played unbeaten that season. Also The HU 1971 or 1972 team won(the first for a Black University). A number of Trinis were on that team. The NCAA used use a some technicality rules to take that championship away from Howard. They also got a two year ban. In the very early 60's HU won the NAIA div.1 (small colleges). I think Squeakie Hinds was on that team.
He not eligible for College ball anymore.
1) i pretty sure he play his 4 years for UConn and
2) He played professionally, NCAA is amateur athletics.
He going to back to help them with the coaching side of things.

Best of luck Rahim, although I did not find you to be any thing special when wearing the Red, White and Black uniform, I respect the fact that you are putting things in place to Live life.Same thing I saying...I ent go comment on his tenure on the national team b/c I honestly didn't follow him like that. But the man gone back tuh get he degree and people on here crying and lamenting as doh is amputate he gone and amputate he legs at the knees.

What a sad waste of talent!
I met Brent Rahim and Shaun Fuentes during my 2-day visit to T&T last week (27-Apr-2008)...
He told me he now plays/work with HCL and more than likely his career as a footballer is over. He seems none interested in football anymore... from what I heard HCL may go Pro so Rahim may reconsider....
Very cool fella by the way, both him and Shaun.... we buss a small lime in Ruby Tuesday (Grand Bazaar). Shaun was suppose to mention it in one of his reports, but I guess it slipped him... :o
Who is HCL and where they are situated?
Who is HCL and where they are situated?
HCL stands for Home Construction Limted, a subsidiary of CL Financial...
Do we have a job for 'him' yet, or still sidelined
