I have been to every game, from the Tobago, to NE stars to the final hex games. The fans that were in the stands today, especially the covered,I say the majority are a bunch of LAMEOS.....they were voice less, and looked very fustrated. We tried many times to get them going.....but they had no idea of how to support. They just looked  like they could not care less....I took my neighbour with me, although he had not gone to a game recenlly he was really tring to get these people going....We won that Guatamala , Mexico game becuase of the 12th MAn.....I am truly dissapointed with the TT fans.....all of them with blank expressions....One man tell me to sit down......ah blocking him...dam it. Most of them did not even know the players except for Latapy, John, York

Football / I might play for Trinidad and Tobago......by JLLoyd Samuel

I might play for Trinidad and Tobago

There has been a lot speculation about my future in international football and I want to set the record straight.

It is true that I may qualify to play for Trinidad and Tobago. I was born in Trinidad and it would make me proud to play for them. Yes, I have played for England Under-21s, but there may be a possibility that I'm able to switch allegiance.

I am sure some people will accuse me of jumping on the bandwagon, but I only think that would be the case if I said I wanted to play for them only after they had qualified for the World Cup. In fact, I would like to contribute in their efforts to qualify.
   
I was born in Trinidad and it would make me proud to play for them.
   
As it stands they haven't made it yet, and they are not sure to get through. I want them to qualify, but if they don't it does not mean I will regret my decision. I feel Trinidadian and want to play for them.

It would be a dream to make my debut against Bahrain in the World Cup play-off next week. This could be possible if I'm proved eligible to play, because there is no truth whatsoever in the story that Aston Villa are preventing me from playing for my country. I spoke to our assistant manager Roy Aitken and he said the club had no problem with it, and were just waiting for official confirmation. He was all for it.

The team is doing well and they are in with a good chance of beating Bahrain, but I hope I can bring something different to the side than what they've already got if everything comes together. I've been playing in the Premiership for a long time, and am the only Trinidadian playing at that level at the moment, so I'd like to think I could bring some experience and added quality to the side.

I've spoken to the Trinidad and Tobago assistant manager and he's been very positive as well. He's been to see me play a few times, and I believe he liked what he saw, so hopefully everything will come off and I'll get to play next week.

On the domestic front, things didn't go very well against Manchester City last night. The result was disappointing and I was hauled off at half-time. I definitely feel I was made a scapegoat. We all make mistakes, and you need time to put them right, but I didn't get that.

Football is all about confidence and the more time you are on the field, the more confident you become. And that's what I need at the moment - game time - because my confidence isn't as sky high as it should be.

I didn't talk to the manager about it, because at the end of the day it's his decision. And also in the heat of the moment, things can come out wrong so I thought it best not to say anything. I'll just knuckle down now and try and make sure I'm in the starting line-up for Liverpool at the weekend.

Football / Re: Samuel’s eligibility not certain yet

« on: November 01, 2005, 04:21:39 AM »

The question is did Samuel hold a T&T passport at time when he was an under 21 international....if he did ...well it could be a problem.....the new ruling is based on citizenship.....

Also.....I think  Aston Villa must  have a 2001 FIFA HAndbook...the rule was changed

Here are the rules

Article 15 Principle

1 Any person holding the nationality of a country is eligible to play for
the representative teams of the Association of his country. The Executive
Committee shall decide on the conditions of eligibility for
any Player whose nationality would entitle him to represent more
than one Association.
2 As a general rule, any Player who has already represented one Association
(either in full or in part) in an official competition of any category
may not play an international match with another Association
team.
3 If a Player has more than one nationality, or if a Player acquires a new
nationality, or if the Player is eligible to play for several Association
teams due to his nationality, the following exceptions apply:
(a) Up to his 21st birthday, a player may only once request changing
the Association for which he is eligible to play international
matches.
A Player may exercise this right to change Associations
only if he has not played at “A" international level for his
current Association and if at the time of his first full or
partial appearance in an international match in an official competition
of any other category, he already had such nationalities.
Changing Associations is not permitted during the preliminary
competition of a FIFA competition, continental championship
or Olympic Tournaments if a player has already been
fielded in a match of one of these competitions.

VII. ELIGIBILITY TO PLAY FOR ASSOCIATION TEAMS
(b) Any Player who has already acquired eligibility to play for one
Association but has another nationality imposed upon him by
a government authority, is also entitled to change associations.
This provision is not subject to any age limits.
4 Any Player who wishes to exercise this right to change Associations
shall submit a written and substantiated request to the FIFA general
secretariat. After submitting the request, the Player is no longer
qualified to play for his current Association’s team. The Players’
Status Committee shall decide on the request. The committee’s
decision may be brought before the Appeal Committee. The Regulations
for the Status and Transfer of Players contain more detailed
provisions.
5 Any Players who have already had their 21st birthday at the time of
implementation of these provisions and who fulfil the requirements
in par. 3 (a) are also entitled to submit such a request to change
Associations. This entitlement will expire definitively twelve months
after implementation of this provision.

Football / Panama squad 'trigger a row'

Panama squad 'trigger a row'

By RAMI HULAYYEL

THE Bahrain Football Association (BFA) is to probe the 'status' of the Panama team which lost 5-0 to Bahrain in a friendly clash on Thursday at the National Stadium.

The match was part of Bahrain's preparations for the World Cup playoffs against Trinidad and Tobago scheduled for November 12 and 16.

Panama had signed an agreement with the BFA in which it was clearly stated (clause Four) that a "team of at least 16 players, the majority of which participated in the Concacaf qualifiers for the 2006 World Cup" will play in the Bahrain friendly.

But the Panama team which eventually played against Bahrain is reported to be a youth side by a local Arabic newspaper.

"We are still unsure about the status of the Panama team which played against Bahrain in the friendly match - whether it is same one which played in the Concacaf qualifiers or a team with new players added after Panama lost all chances of qualifying for the 2006 World Cup," said BFA general secretary Ahmed Jassim.

Jassim, however, refused to confirm or deny if Panama came to Bahrain with its reserve team.

Bahrain paid $140,000, apart from paying for their air tickets and accommodation, to the Panama Football Association for a friendly match; $70,000 was paid while signing the contract and the remaining before the start of the match.

"Panama's Football Association was represented by its president Ariel Alvarado who signed the contract in presence of Fifa's licensed agent Ramy Abbas," said Jassim. Sponsored by Batelco, Bahrain played the match without their 11 professionals who are playing in Qatari and Kuwaiti leagues.

Defender Abdulla Al Marzooqi and midfielder Rashid Al Dossary were the only two first team regulars in the squad.

The professional include nine in Qatar - Hussain Ali, Ala'a Hubail, Mohammed Salmeen, Salman Isa, Sayed Mohammed Adnan, Mohammed Juma, Mohammed Hubail, Mahmood Jalal, Daij Nasser - and two in Kuwait - Talal Yousef and Hussain Baba.

Bahrain goals were scored by striker Abdulla Al Dikheel, defenders Ahmed Al Hujairi and Al Marzooqi and substitute midfielders Mahmood Abbas and Abdulrahman Mubarak.

Football / Re: Jack Warner to fight Villa for Samuel.

« on: October 30, 2005, 07:43:50 PM »

Bahrian People ...get your facts correct....

Jlloyd Samuel (born March 29, 1981 in Trinidad) currently plays for Aston Villa F.C. as a defender.

Samuel's debut came after 51 minutes of a second-leg League Cup match against Chester City F.C., on September 21, 1999 which finished 5-0 in Aston Villa's favour.

Since the beginning of his Aston Villa career, he has also been on loan to Gillingham F.C., for whom he made seven full appearances and one substitute appearance, between October 25 and December 3, 2001.

Though looking set for the 2002 European Under-21 Championships, Samuel picked up a groin injury which ensured his being out of action for a sustained period of time.

When Graham Taylor took over the reins at Aston Villa, Samuel became more assured of a place on the team, despite his nervousness on the pitch. His star season, however, was 03/04, as he rose to become one of the best left-backs in the Premiership and was selected in the England squad for the game against Sweden.


Zamora on the other hand is eligable through his father, who is a Trinidadian
