Nice Pic ... however, those faces not familiar.  The 80's pics i might be able to recognize some men.  Bring back good memories of the blue & white stripes.

Football / LUCKY SAINTS - Stays in Championship Div 2007
« on: November 04, 2006, 08:37:43 AM »
CIC stays in Championship Division
Friday 3rd November, 2006

St. Mary's College will be amongst the other Championship teams in the 2007 Secondary Schools Football League. This was made official today when St. Anthony's College Senior Division team defeated Diego Martin Secondary 3-1 in the Senior Division finals at Trinity Grounds today.

St. Anthony's win of the Senior Division ensured all championship teams stay up next year...a luxury that St. Mary's College was only afforded due to a reversal of decision by the SSFL to reduce the number of teams next year. Had the SSFL not rescinded its decision, CIC would have been automatically relegated.

Diego Martin will however play in the Intercol first round against Mucurapo Senior Comprehensive on November 7th.

Good Afternoon,
My advice would be to have a tape sent down with one or two of your best games and put together a "resume" along with a reccommendation from your present coach/coaches.  The hard fact of the matter is ... you have to be perceived to be better than anyone presently in the country. 
If playing for the country is your dream, then you should go for it.  You don't want to get our age and be saying ... coulda, woulda, shoulda.

Football / Re: Thread for the T&T vs Paraguay game.
« on: June 20, 2006, 09:47:18 AM »
Peeps ... let's look at the scene before Leo ...

1.  We used to conceed goals early and get thrown off the game (most of the time).
2.  We improve on that and now once we go in 1/2 time on level terms any thing could happen.
3.  Leo knows and has been getting the guys disciplined defensively so we in with a chance at the end.
4.  This is a new level that we not accustomed to.
5.  Let the man do what he know to do best ... coach.
6.  Stop second guessing the man ... he go make mistakes (he human)
7.  He knows we need goals ... however more importantly we ALSO have to stop them from scoring.

In any event, good luck to the team ... Positive Results ... meh fingers crossed for us to go to the second rounds!

Good Afternoon Folks,
I like playing devil's advocate ... after these games you all know that Leo stocks gone clear right?  He will most probably be getting all kinda offers ... i don't think we will be able to compete with what's out there that might lure him.  Just trying to keep everyone with their feet firmly planted on the ground as is our coach.

Football / "Dwight Yorke Gets Defensive"
« on: June 19, 2006, 02:12:52 PM »
Dwight Yorke gets defensive.
By: FIFAworldcup.com.
[/size]

“The goals have to come against Paraguay,” T&T captain Dwight Yorke told FIFAworldcup.com from the team’s home base up north in Rottenburg. But surprisingly, despite his stellar scoring record and long-time membership in the strikers’ guild, he will not be the man expected to get them. Playing as a deep-lying midfielder, distributor and all-around playmaker, the former treble winner with Manchester United is currently showing a level of surprising versatility.
After locking up his bicycle (all the T&T players ride them to and from training in an unmistakable bit of Dutch influence from coach Leo Beenhakker), the 35-year-old chatted about his new role, the fairytale Trinidadians and the need for goals against Paraguay on 20 June in Kaiserslautern.

For those of us used to watching Dwight Yorke zip around up front as an out-and-out forward, this new defensive-midfield role is something of a shock. How has the transition to this new position been and how did it come about?
It just came about as a result of playing down with Sydney FC (of the Australian Premier League) where I have been moving around quite a lot in terms of position. Sometimes I’m in midfield; sometimes I’m up front. I felt that with my experience and my knowledge of the game and being the captain it was better for me to get on the ball more and plan things out and be the dominating figure in the midfield. Sure, that means a little defending and tackling now and then, but that’s life (laughs).
My legs don’t go as fast as they used to. I just felt that it would be better than me being parked up front as a striker, although I do know I can still do a job up there. I enjoy passing the ball and creating chances for others in the team, so it’s a good fit.

Is this something you discussed with coach Beenhakker before the tournament began?
I didn’t really know what plan he had for me. I knew he had something in mind but I didn’t quite know what it was. He likes to keep control as a manager and sometimes you don’t know what he’s thinking, but you can be sure he’s thinking something good for the side. It didn’t surprise me, and for him to have so much faith in me to put me in this crucial position on such a big stage is a real compliment to me as a player.

What’s your overall opinion of the Sweden draw (0-0) and the England loss (0-2)?
Overall, we’re pretty satisfied. We knew we’d have to stay organised and patient in both games. We knew we were playing against quality opposition with so many so-called superstars. But in the Sweden game I saw a team in Trinidad & Tobago that had suddenly matured and a group of guys who wanted to do well and worked extremely hard for each other.
We took that momentum into the England game and we tried to frustrate them the same way. We managed to hold them for 83 minutes and going back over the performance in my mind I’m confident that we deserved a draw. We were a little disappointed about the result, but at the same time pretty happy about the progress.

Against Sweden, Cornell Glen hit the woodwork and in the England match Stern John’s goal-bound effort was denied at the last by a sprawling John Terry. It seems you’re getting closer to scoring – do you think the floodgates could open against Paraguay?
They have to! We have to win the game to have any glimmer of hope of getting to the second round. We were supposed to be the whipping boys of this tournament and we were supposed to be out of the competition by now. But unlike five or six other teams, we’re still alive and kicking. To know that this little team still has a chance is very exciting. We know we have to attack and we have to go for it. We have no choice but to fight and try to get our first goal.

You get Avery John back from suspension, but news has just come in that influential central defender Cyd Gray is out with a knee injury for the Paraguay game. What do you think about these developments?
It’ll be great to have Avery John back and tackling hard and it means we can push Carlos Edwards back up the wing. But to be hit with an injury to Cyd Gray who’s done such a great job for us in defence, will be a big loss. We’ll just have to soldier on like we always do and hope the new guys show what they’re capable of. You never know, a new man can rise to the occasion when given the chance.

You must sense that T&T have become Germany 2006’s sentimental favourites, yes?
It’s special really. We are a genuinely nice people and the folks here in Rottenburg and all over Germany have responded to that. We are an easygoing people and we can get along with anyone under any circumstances. The whole country has made us feel extremely welcome and it’s really all been fantastic. When you’re the underdog and such a small nation like we are and you’re putting in the kind of effort that we’ve been putting in, I can understand people wanting us to do well – we’re a fun people.

You’ve won the UEFA Champions League, the English Premiership and the FA Cup with Manchester United, where does the 0-0 draw with Sweden rank in terms of meaning for you personally?
Honestly, it’s right up there with the great achievements of my career. To be in a Trinidad & Tobago jersey makes it that little bit more special. A tiny country did a great big thing that day and I am proud to have been a part of it.

Football / TNT Well Represented ... However
« on: June 16, 2006, 11:09:39 AM »
I know and expect to be huge chastized ... but in our excitement we need to be safe in our expectations ... couple things to remind ourselves of ...
1.  Destiny is no longer in our hands.
2.  The most probable outcome of the England vs Sweden game is a DRAW
3.  The England coach is a SWEDE

I think the team will beat Paraguay and do our country proud but the fact will remain that we will have 4 points and not make the second round.

Sorry guys and gals ... reality check.

Football / Re: Allyuh God Beenhakker Mess We Up
« on: June 16, 2006, 10:59:26 AM »
By the way ... before the games started, i think the coach knew that realistically we were looking at 4 points ... Draw Sweden, Lose England, Win Paraguay.  It just so happens that the team seems to be holding it's own and everybody think we can win every match.  We are playing very good defensively, well organized, well disciplined and well coached.  Based on the tactics of the coach and knowing fully well we need to win against Paraguay, we should be going for a win.  After that it's up to the footballing gods to decide ... goal difference, ect, ect.  

Here is my humble opinion of the results to come ... England & Sweden will DRAW, WE will WIN and we will be forever be talking about the "WHAT IF'S" in many pubs, fetematches and limes for the next 1000 years.

Please don't forget the English coach is a Swede.

Agreed!  This WC Experience will do our country and young ballers good.  But, we will still need to instil this kinda professionalism from early U-17 maybe would be a good start for us to have a very good experienced world class coach in charge.  But i ent saying nothing that was said before ... maybe after this experience people will see the need for dedicated schools/programs like they have in other big football playing nations.  We don't need to repeat the mistakes that other small nations have made in that they don't plan for the future.  We reach the top competition as a nation, let's not make this a "one and done" thing.

2006 World Cup - Germany / Re: T&T VS. ENGLAND....... COME & VENT!
« on: June 16, 2006, 10:03:05 AM »
Nice Game ... bit of bad luck with the Crouch Header.  He was having a shitty game up until then.  We need to believe that Sweden will lose to England and we will beat Paraguay and go through on goal diff.

28
LOL!  OK OK OK it was 1985.  Thanks, i will need to check my mathematics from now on!

29
Ok ... i understand we narrow it down to 1985 or 1986.  But i still say it is 1986 because the game against sando tech was the first game in the big 7 series ... we draw that one, arima beat we, pres beat we, we beat tobago and i can't remember the other teams.  Boy i need some help here, my sanity at stake.

 

30
OK This is it ... thanks for jogging my memory ...
1.  SAINTS draw with Sando Tech in 1986.
2.  That year 1986 Saints win North Zone League & Intercol, 3rd in National Intercol & 4th in Big 7.
3.  Colin last season with Saints was 1985 ... that year Saints and John D had great rivalry in the North Zone.
4.  John D last year in North Zone was 1985.
