1 point out of 9 and you think he should still be coach. Yuh cyah be serious...
But as palos indicated, I have to give credit where credit is due and he is the one who bring back Yorke... BSC good call..

If you are referring to me, I don't care if Sub is Coach. I backing whoever leading my team. Whoever, I think we have to have a long-term individual, with a long term goal, whoever that may be. Between St. Clair and anybody European (Including Hill, and Fenwick) who might be around for the next 5 yrs, and could particpate in the building/overhauling of our whole Football program?

I would have preferred someone local, but don't know enough of the possible candidates to call any one individual

6422
Hope New Coach plan to live T&T till 2010 or he bringing a replacement too. Maybe he is a short term get we to Germany fix,, we like it quick so

"In addition to Glen, CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh defender Keyeno Thomas and midfielders Arnold Dwarika, Densil Theobald, Marlon Rojas and Jerren Nixon were involved in the team’s training session "

Can't really see that as good news...The guys have been out of the pic. for a while. Have they been playing, what is their form, they have come like local foreigners, taxi-in 2 days before the game, with no proven recent history. Not saying the guys are not good, but at this point, the bench men go get pass over again?
Oh well...whatever....C'mon T&T...

Bench Stern(cyar play he & Yorke, an like Yorke playing), Play Sealy and Jones, Leave Glenn out, (to early after the injury, he not ready)
Leave Lawrence to man mark Wanchope. He is not that fast, and can still hurt in the air. Lawrence can contest in air, and Wanchope cyar left him, these days. Not really knowing Charles
all else same        Shaka

Pierre               Sancho             Henry/John

Edwards             Tiger/Spann               Rojas/Eve              
              
                       Yorke
                Jones         Sealy

Lawrence on Wanchope..If he go for ah s**t, Lawrence must wipe him

6433
Palos, I agree....5-1, yeah, I will have to make changes, and re-evaluate the selections, and selectors as well..... Hope the correct, most rationale  decisions will be made. I think, whether the coach is retained or not, the TD has to step-in

Look you don't understand me. What you think St Benedicts was? It was an Academy don't let know one fool you. Dem men use to basically live there. Do you know Benedicts ground upstairs the viewing area have an area big enough for 5 aside football, plus kitchen and thing. To date no program in T&T produce more National Team players in mass than that one schoo. 13 of the 18 on one squad.l...etc

And what happened to the Benedicts men of Late? What happen to that academy? How many people could get into that Academy how many were refused ? How many players were produced on a yearly basis? How many players reaped the benefit of graduating from such a highly esteemed program? How did the Country benefit? What changed?

Look for what it is worth, I do understand you. I only disagree, I am  not against you or anyone else who is willing to take a chance and Start such a program. I just think it wouldn't benefit us Nationally, and would eventually fail, given our present attitudes/methods in dealing with our present social and economic failings ....

I could be wrong, you could be right. You don't have to convince me, I won't be the one coming up with the Start-up. If yuh have the connections or money to give it a go, then by all means go. I only tried to show why I think it is not the answer, not to dissuade you from making the effort...Cool ?

Based on NC article, Ironman post(based on experience).
What is a TD or Coach to do? Quit or dream?

NC it have plenty people who can do the Job, buh they can't fathom the poliTRicKs associated. So they abstain....that is where, I believe they are wrong...
 Other than just football ability(I really don't know how good or bad he is), I admire St. Clair for making the effort in the Face of all who against him.
Even though he was embarrased (fired), even though he is lambased, even though he not getting the proper funding, or ideal situation...He still sit down on that hot seat when they called... Plenty 'Men' fraid that...or let personal grieviences deny us(T&T) their ability....That is one reason why I proud to call him my National Coach....

If his ability is lacking, or he can't get the JOB done, then let who better step forward, and wuk for the same monies and with the same BS and get the JOB dun nah!

 ah doh like it so, buh ah bet the coach doh like it so neither..I am not saying support blind, on the contrary, I am saying without actually being the Coach priest, we mus try to Understand wha he have to work with... I doubt the Youth just Run out in the Game, without actually being seen in the practice...
FF

So Cuba say yes we would like that practice game... Deal done right...
Wha we go practice by Internet or wha.. ;D

Yuh tink USA does jus call a practice and everybody show up?

We go spend 72000 US to fly in man jus for practice (drills & game), 36000 k to fly Cuba, cause they cyar come... etc...My management issue is not in not trying to get a practice game...that easy... Is not doing what is necessary to make it happen....raising funds...getting sponsors...making deals...

Doh get wuk up for Nuthen dealing with wha a individual say.

.......Clarence Seedorf built & funds and Academy in Surinam. Patrick Viera has now done the same in Senegal. Bernard Lamma did the same in French Guyana......etc..etc...If an Academy signs one player of every 16 it pays for itself. Maybe Latapy or Yorke would see fit to do the same. Maybe the youngsters will be inspired by those who make it.etc..etc..

We on a horse of a different color here. ok
The Academies they built ENT start producing yet...it is still early..
Maybe they will maybe they won't...
Meanwhile would Seedorf( for e.g.) continue to send money, if Seedorf accountant ask to see the books and the Managers of the Academy say..."Yuh cyar look at we books"...Surinam getting they tail wash.....They Academy hasn't produced a player to sell...He retires....Nothing changes in the socio-economic structure of the youths in Surinam...No other Sponsor come on board ?

I wouldn't by a Masserati to drive on Trini roads, (an with Trini bandit)...But it sure is a fast car...
I am not saying an Academy is not a good thing, I just question how good it is for T&T.

Question
Is dat pracice match DE ONLY PRACTICE MATCH YUH HAVE 2 days before yuh World Cup qualifying match............

That is a management issue, not a coach issue...Is not like the Coach refusing proper practice teams he got. We already see that the only person who can seemingly arrange any sembelence of a serious practice game is Jack. So we management woes hasn't change, but yuh cyar expect that to happen, If TD change, Coaches change, but is the same Management.

Palos, why you wasting all yuh energy beating this dead horse.etc...etc....
Let we just chill and support we country yes and when they say rag pull yuh rag!! Take ah jump and wave... wine up on a ting and forget we worries.

I don't think I can comment on lack of professionalism, when I mehself, jus wha wine on something when we win...shim, at my age ah learn not to wait for no event to pelt ah chook...is best a just enjoy everyday that come my way
buh ah still wha feel the vibe an try to understand wha some people wining or crying  bout.
Not a philosophy, meh nuh no philosopher, is jus ah understanding ting

Even if I myself doh particularly like the tune, should I deny anybody their pleasure to enjoy themselves with it...something bad unrelated to me happen, I ent go feel the pressure the victim experience....Sure I do..

I partly agree, but hold up with the lash    ;)
I didn't read all the Post, so I am not sure if this was covered.

Scenario: SH is coach of Canada U17. He have a partner in BC who he respect and well know football. So Canada U17 prepping for WC. and the team go be in BC. SH tell he pardner, he go be in town with the Team from Monday. He Pardner Palos say, "Boy, it have a youth here yuh must see, he reaaalll good. " No SH have plenty respect for Palos football observation eh, and besides SH know to compete on the World scene he really have to get the best he could get. He (sh) cannot afford to take the chance and let a possible contributor to the long haul fall thru the cracks. Plus breakfoot could happen anytime...
So SH tell Palos, get a contact for the boy, and we go have him come out and practice while we there, "buh note, ah dun have meh Team ahready, enh".
So the boy come out to drills and SH evaluate him for heself...and the boy looking good for truth....good attitude, good skill, good passing, good everything...buh SH dun have he team, and he know how dem go handle theyself under pressure, he see dem nuff times, and he know, judging from the results, is like he own nah ready, buh is the best he have...'How will this new youth handle heself under pressure boy?'...Go have to throw him in a game and see...Buh Sh cyar jus mash up he regular fellas/team to check this youth...


Well yuh see whey ah goin...
SH hasn't disrespected Palos, Palos hasn't disrespected SH, the Youth din get mamaguay (in case he blossom into a Ronaldo, ok...ok..ah long time Yorke), non of the players get diss, if we throw him in with ah Corbeau sweat...everybody Happy...

now the kicksin part

except maxg, Sam, vb, Triniman, Jumbie, an ah Canadian fan...
"How come SH only listening to Palos so boy" ..."Like is Palos coaching dah team"...."Canada U17, have 2 Trini coach now or wha"..."Dem men coulda be coachin Trini instead"..."Traitors" ..."True Canadians"...."Does guys  from Trinidad are sure accomadatin...eh?"

bottom line...
Cyar please everybody, so best yuh 'P---- Y-- S---'

An Academy provides a unique opportunity for soccer players age 8-18 to experience the very highest level of soccer instruction and coaching. etc...etc..

Mandey, ah done cover that..my question is who determines who gets in or not? who pays for it? who really benefits? where will the beneficiaries emigrate too? all ah dat. Read Jahyouth post bout emigration of talented individuals...read Flex post in Track & Field bout , shunning of talented local atheletes

Observer

1) You are aware that we have plenty players with a talent for football. How many parent/kids willing to sacrifice to achieve that potential is another story. - Better chance with books.
'The Academy' cannot accomadate everybody, and no one but God can predict who will be a hit and who just missed, or who would get an injury just before, or had a genetic makeup to deal with the rigours involved, i.e. wouldn't drop-out. especially if selecting from an early age.
So the academy then will get the then obvious standouts, and who can afford it, and the later bloomers and the underpriveledged, will sorry, we didn't know. Does that sound familiar?

2) If the player likely hood of making football a profession in someone else's country is increased. Explain how that is/was a Resource of T&T please ! How does T&T or anybody but that Country benefit from him? You are aware that if have Brazilians playing football all over the world, and in Brazil, and the make some of the biggest monies as footballer put together. So how come Brazil has so many homeless children and abject poverty in it metropolitan areas. How come Brazil had to default on Loans a few years back.
As it stands players can be associated with clubs who can get a fee for said player, but Countries cannot sell players. While the club is at it, it is in the club benefit therefore to get the best potential players and develop them, so they can achieve...
This is already in place..

On a final note. Academies are elitist and sends a negative message to those that are not selected they are not good enough, and at an early age this is rarely the case. Who does the selecting...ah dun hear the talk'Friend ting"..."Money pass"...."He sleeping with she".. :-\

I better hush yes, I dun with the Academy talk.

Xactly. We don't have a properly organized league, we don't have a lucrative system for these youths to progress too. We seemingly don't have many opportunities -like higher education- to give to the youths, we seemingly don't have an organized federation. Therefore, what is the point in having an academy to produce who, for what.
Places that have sport scademies, have things in place for it's graduates.

What is the point of UWI offering a degree in Rocket Science, because we like to watch football on TV, and if we had a Sat. we could see more football. Will it benefit the Caribbean to invest in building a rocket?

I guess I over simplfied.
 The bottom line is we would not be better off.

On an addtional note...Where will the finances for supporting these acadamies come from. What will be the returns to attracted investors..Don't say Government, as the Government is barely supporting as is..I imagine they can come from private investors, who may (or may not) demand certain returns. So unless an underpriviledged youth is extremely talented, who you think will be attending these acadamies.
I suspect a priviledged many, an an under-priviledged few. What can of general public action you think that selection process will generate.

Many young Trinis seem to operate on "I can think it, therefore we must have it". Reality operates on a different level..

Why are their no soccer acadamies in every 'developed' country that loves soccer? Is it they do not want to develop their youths ?

I appreciate people's desire to improve our game/competitive level at home, I am just fairly certain, that
1. It is not the answer to T&T soccer woes
2. There will be less benefits than expected
3. There are more areas that require more long term planning and our country will reap greater benefits on more differnt levels than just football

to break it down simply...Forget the National awareness issue

Presently, We have some of our better players getting foreign contracts and scholarships....Dem gone...many not to be seen on a National scale again.
Now we start a football academy, increase the level of the youths from an earlier age...As they develop even better, yuh think they won't get more or earlier scholarships and foreign contracts.. They will go even faster....so the ones who don't accept these lucrative offers stay, but would they be our best, sure the overall ability will improve, but we would have lost more of our better players at an even faster rate as the system evelves into an elite supplier of cheap footballers...How will that help us produce a better National program?

This is just an opinion eh, but as I see it may lead to a faster Talent drain on the short Term, and same boat on the long term.

Nah, I think our National development, can only be improved by having stuff( jobs-professional & otherwise) to keep our better players home. Thus it may seem as if I am not talking about improving our football on a youth level, yet in fact I am.   - see previous post
