Football / We will not get past second round unless...

« on: June 10, 2008, 02:58:36 PM »

I haven't posted in a while, and I know we still have to get past Bermuda, however, after watching the US vs Arg game the other night and some of the games with the current team, I feel a separate thread is needed to state plainly what many others have said. We will not earn the required points from USA, Guatemala, (and prob even Cuba, i.e., 6 pts) to qualify for the Hex...don't even think about qualifying from the Hex....if the following players are not re-called:

Keepers

Kevin Jack

Defenders
Brent Sancho
Avery John
Cyd Gray
[Julius James]

Midfielders
Chris Birchall
Colin Samuels

Forwards
Cornell Glen

I tried to limit the names to the CRITICALLY needed players as some of the local based have show an ability to step up. Some other guys like Theobald and Spann can hopefully earn a call-up between now and the 2nd round because you cannot discount the experience these guys gained from going through the last qualifiers and playing abroad in hostile conditions etc. I know there are several other players that have displayed some qualities in the past like Glasgow, Jemmot etc but I am talking about CRITICALLY needed based on the deficiencies in the current team from a player capabilities and experience standpoint.

Yes - I know we have to beat Bermuda but.....

Football / Right back spot is a concern

« on: March 02, 2006, 01:29:06 PM »

Gray tried his best, and served us well against Bahrain but he didn't look like ke's ready for WC football. Too many wild clearances and aimless long passes.

Would like Beenie to take a look at Rougier as wright back, NOT a midfielder...and maybe Sancho there as well.

Football / Play de March 1st game at home!!!

« on: December 14, 2005, 07:10:44 PM »

2006 World Cup - Germany / TheManFriday - Give we some travel details nah man!!!

« on: December 10, 2005, 01:18:03 PM »

I believe you said earlier that you live 2 hours from Dortmund...correct?
For people like me who duh know nutten bout Europe ...give we a nice lil travel agent style summary to help us plan de travel nah. For example:


1. If we want to base where the Trini team staying (where dey stayin...ah can't remember?) what other hotels are around. From cheapest (bed/breakfast style) to mid range price etc. What hotel are they staying in? What's the cost?

2. What are some other options nearby (within an hour) to where the team's staying  - price etc. How far is the Dortmund stadium from where the team staying? Price to travel there by train etc?

3. If you were to fly in to UK or Holland first for a lil lime then travel on to the first game what's the best mode of travel? How long will plane and train take from the Uk and Holland to Dortmund? How much will each cost etc?

4. How far is Nuremburg and Kaiser from the Trini team base? Cost to travel there by train etc?

4. Where can you buy train tickets from now to travel to each game city?

Hook up de clueless Trinis who to lazy to search for all dis nah man!!

Thanks in advance!

Football / Bring '74 Team, Strike Squad & '05 Team Together

« on: November 21, 2005, 10:16:08 AM »

for the first world cup warm up when the full 05 team come back. Would like to see us honor de past players as well and finally bury (somewhat) dem bad memories of 74 & 89.

Also, de 74 and 89 players should get passess to all future games.

Dah post a few weeks ago dat ah man see Kerry Jamerson arguin wid a scalper fuh a ticket to one of de qualifiers in Trini hurt meh heart. Dat man give good service to Trini and gave much joy wid dem 2 bullet he score.

Football / Leh we doh forget de key lesson - Proper Planning & Discipline

« on: November 18, 2005, 03:00:33 PM »

Amidst all de hype leh we doh forget a key lesson please. What is one of, if not de major differences, wid dis qualification effort compared to others?

Is not just dah leo come and save we.

People like Lincoln Phillips as well have brought a refreshing level of planning and professionalism before de team even step on the field. We were sending scouts to games (we las coach didn't believe in dat); sending manager to de hotel to make sure everything straight before de team arrive etc

Then Leo have the players believing and stickin to de preparations plan & game plan. I couldn't believe my eyes against Guatemala and Mexico when we was down and were still playing as a team, patiently bringing the ball out from the back etc..stickin to de plan. Back in the day we woulda jus force de ball to Latas or Yorke and hope dey do something.

That was when I realized we actually had become a world cup calibre team.

Even as I jump up and cry etc for dis team ah have a heavy heart for all de wasted, jokey efforts at qualifying in de past when we arguably had more talented players.

NEVAH AGAIN!!!!! DAT SHOULD BE DE CRY AFTER DE WORLD CUP FINISH.

We have to build on this like the US, Costa Rica etc and become a consistent force in CONCACAF!!

Football / If de bus pass on de main road den Stern...

« on: November 17, 2005, 05:08:06 PM »

will pass de house where he grew up by Cane Farm junction in Tacarigua/Trincity.

I could tell yuh personally de man grew from humble beginnings...bringin tears to meh eyes to know de man passin dey as a World Cup bound player after all dem years playin as a youth Eddie Hart Savaanah, Parliament grounds and de Trincity field!!

Kelvin Jack was right dey wid him too. Always focused on makin it!!! Jap Brown products!!!

I so happy fuh dem fellahs!!

Sancho is anudder man who never give up on his dream as a youth. We used to tell him hush he mouth when we say he goin pro in Europe. De man live in Brooklyn and defeat odds nuff man couldn't defeat. Dah place have ah way of discouragin ballers. Nuff good good men just end up bein drinkers an limers after dey base dey. Brent had de discipline to stay focused.

So much stories man could write on each ah dem fellahs. I real happy fuh dem!!!

Football / Give hungrier young players more mins

« on: November 13, 2005, 12:00:32 PM »

Beenies tactics have gotten us where we are...cyah argue wid dat.

But dem Bahranies fast and fit and defend with numbers. One wat to counter dat is with speed and dribling ability. De older men get show up las night  -Yorke, latas & Stern.

3 of these 4 players - Jones, Glen, Sancho & Theobald need at least 30 mins. Glen & Jones especially!!!!

Football / What about some added incentive for de boys?

« on: October 21, 2005, 09:09:47 AM »

We all know dem Barrainians go get Benz and a million $$ an all kinda shite as incentive thrown at dem by dey gov't for dese 2 games. Doh be surprised how dat could make a man run jus a lil harder.

Why no word yet from any quarters in Trini - Gov't, business, Jack?? - regarding incetnive for our players. Offer dem fellahs something now nah man...doh wait til after. Some nice plot ah land, some $$$, TSTT:free service for life, come man dis is de CHANCE OF A LIFETIME for some upliftment, name recognition etc for Trini...leh we give dem fellahs some extra motivation nah man!!!

I an alll would put a lil something in de kitty. Not like Yorke and a few others need it but still!!

Football / Tone down de predictions please!!

« on: October 17, 2005, 04:56:51 PM »

Leh we not repeat Nov 89 again please when even Gally was on TV sayin we givin de US 5. We need to stay grounded and careful. One thing I notice about Bahrain is they don't seem to concede many goals. You may say dey opposition wasn't all dat but Korea, Iran etc are decent teams.

The main goal should be to NOT concede any goals at home. I would be happy with a 2-0. Then if we stick in 1 in Bahrain dey will have to score 4 against us. I like those odds. Right now is 0-0. Now having said that...if we could battle Mexico, US, CRica etc the way we did we should be the ones taking it to Bahrain at home buh de defence have to resepct them jus like Mex, US etc.

I know Beenie done know dis already so this is just an appeal to we fans...stop dis talk bout bookin tkts for Germany & 5-0 etc. Leh we handle we business first please!

Football / What about Rougier????

« on: August 24, 2005, 08:34:19 AM »

Why is this man not being considered after one bad half where he was played OUT OF POSITION.
This man is one of our best players on the flank point blank as a right back or midfielder. He could probably even play on the left.
I saw him chatting and interacting well with with the TD and players before/after the US game.
PLEASE CALL HIM BACK AS WELL!!!!!!!

WE NEED THE BEST AVAILABLE PLAYERS FOR THE NEXT 4 GAMES

Football / For the Stern Bashers...

« on: August 18, 2005, 11:32:17 AM »

Why we Trinis are so quick to turn against our own???

It's one thing to say the man is not performing and should get benched...no can argue with that if he's not producing.

But to call de man half-slab and say he done and he's a shithong or whatever is really, really harsh. This is the same man that everybody on here used to love and call bound to score. De man dat carry Trini on he back in terms of goalscoring rate since he earned his first cap how many years ago. De same man who used to come back WHENEVER he got called up..even for friggin Shell Cup.

Stern was NEVER a turn and take on people kinda fwd who could create chances for himself. He MUST have good service to produce. Who is providing quality service to the fwds on this current team?

Dis is one of the things about my people that hurtful...we love to cry down today de same people we was biggin up yesterday.

Football / Give the HUNGRY players a run

« on: August 15, 2005, 11:43:37 PM »

I know this post is in vain but at least I get to vent my thoughts.

PLEASE Beenie...give Jones and Sealy some decent time on the pitch. These younger guys haven't made it big yet and will run their heart out.

I would love to see at least one of them start up front with Stern with Yorke just behind them supllying passes and Birchall and Spann cleaning up behind him defensively so Yorkie could roam and concentrate on attack.

I might be dreaming but if I see de same combo of Yorke & Stern up top again Wed...basically no pace to run at people....my heart would sink a lil bit in de stands.

Football / Let's not make it too easy....

« on: June 28, 2005, 10:59:43 AM »

for opposing teams to get information on our side on this site PLEASE.

As much as we all like updates we doh need too much detail like "Sancho buss he toe yesterday" so ah man like Wanchope or whoever could run harder at him in de next game.

Be a lil discreet fellahs.

I will be in Miami..we will suprise people in this Cup....is PACE DONG DEY!!!

Football / I agree wid KND

« on: April 29, 2005, 10:08:01 AM »

Too late now to be adding men who mediocre at best. I tired say playin 3d ball in England isn't any better than pLaying in our pro league. I doh have to see this man to know that he mediocre.

Focus on the locals, get the team playing with some cohesion, let Leo work with men like Theobald and them, and bring back 4 or 5 foreign base tops.

De time to try out this youth was about 12 months ago, not now!!!

MADNESS!!!

Football / Bench Stern Wed; other Changes, MAN MARK WANCHOPE!!

« on: March 28, 2005, 02:55:27 PM »

Dis team need a spark bad!!!

I say start Glen and Sealy (have they called him) up front. 2 men who will run all day.
Start Spann in place of Tiger...he just not ready.
Start Ince... Shaka cyah be mentally ready right now after dat lickin, esp after de 1st goal.
Drop Lawrence PLEASE...Wanchope will tear him up!
Move Henry to the middle and start Rojas on left  or start Keyeno Thomas in middle.
MAN MARK WANCHOPE!!! Play 2 stoppers & A SWEEPER..DAT MAN IS POISON!!

Football / Change entire team & staff after Wed...win or lose!!!!

« on: March 28, 2005, 11:56:41 AM »

I say play de majority of Jabloteh players and hire Jabloth management, plus 10 or so of the best local players from other pre-league teams and de Under 23s & Under 20s.

Only fly-in Hislop/Ince, Andrews, Edwards & Jones.

Forget all de rest.

Best we play with a 90% local team that training and playing together, and from all accounts Jabloth playing real ball.

I've seen both games and this team is an embarassment to Trinidad & Tobago football.
