blessings coops  its all good .......... coops there are many people frustrated  not just me , i do believe all on this forum  feel the same despair , we want to see good / sound decision making by the elected /appointed personnal  who's given the responsibilities to do so with efficiency , and honesty... oh chit ..... damn ah feel jack listening........  all jokes aside there has got to be a longterm plan set in place for all our football programs overall .......for .  both men and women a longterm discipline approach is a good beginning ......  whats bothersome  also is that in both trinidad and tobago there are so many naturally  talented youths whose  talents are not being effectively nurtured and developed ..... like ah said ah just want we to fix and get we football house in order  it can be done

meh bro coops am not saying , sugested nor suggesting that bertille should be called by the ttff an appointed coach if  you check out carefully what i wrote .... what i referred to was bertille had every right at the time to tell off the then ttff for all madness/ bs they the ttff had been doing ..... another point is coops,  mr  jamal  shabazz has every right like all else to make a living if so by coaching  as his chosen field to feed his family, its not for me nor anyone else to deny him that . however  if a coach cannot freely travel with his team to tournaments its frustrating for all involved.... i'm still of the view that there  are other candidates who are quite capable of assisting hutson charles and his coaching staff and privleged to travel with the team  should  tnt qualify all those  factors should have been taken into account ...... again i wanna clear be  i did not suggest that bertille be called as joint coach  , but since u mention that don't u  think he can be useful ?.....was just a teasing   question

coops with all due respect bertille had every right to tell the then ttff to haul dey so and so with all the bs they were doing, and be reminded if i'm not mistaken  he was the first tnt coach to take a team from trinidad to a world cup tournament , with the likes of dwight yorke and others......... aye coops  shabazz passing some change for yuh or what ? its ttff  bro who is running and turning off the fans , supporters, and potential investors  to football who are more than willing to see an improvement in the manner in which  things are being done by ttff administration ,!!!!!   rest assured coops  the ttff and  its administration is still being watch with skepticism by many . shabazz appointment as joint head coach is a huge question mark until proven otherwise.....

knd2 i do agree for the most part that  the nucleus of the present  squad /team should be kept in addtion  with  a few of the foreign based players thats available and truly committed 100% to the red white n black , but none should  be guaranteed a starting place unless they're shown its deserved, the competition for a place on team is what is needed . let all players demontrate  their selection is worthy of representing  tnt , no guarantees anymore ,  no more star boy thing ......... another issue unless keyon daniel  provide a viable  and noteworthy eplaination as to why he was a no show  , barring illness or an emergency he should not be on the squad  for now at least .... he can plead his case as is required,  the bs has to stop  no player is bigger than the game......

Bakes !! With all due respect , regarding the screening sessions  that are currently underway for potential talents in all of TNT ,i repeat all of TNT to represent the red, white , and black,, bakes whether u know it or not, one gets the impression you could care less about the hardships and difficulties many young players and theirs families face , we all know sacrifices must be made no one needs to have a bachelors degree to know that , however do not forget not everyone can afford even the very basics in some cases for example a pair of football/soccer cleats  let alone a ticket for a ferry ride to Trinidad ,  the bottom line is plain and simple , to have some screening sessions in Tobago as well in order that the same equal opportunites are given , so thebest skilled and talented players are discovered and  brought together , again bakes this is about scouting for the best possible talents to represent TNT ...  come on now bro not everyone can afford  a ticket for a ferry as u suggest to come to Trinidad  let alone in some cases afford the very basics . maybe you can... nothing personnal bro

 To all my fellow forumites, Hope everyone's having a great day.! Concerning the screening sessions for new potential  talents for the various age groups(under20's , under 17's),  i've often wondered why is it that, not much attention  has been paid to tobago players !!!! its inexcusable and far too long to hear the same frigging excuses being given .. There should be no more excuses , if its a question of funding to get the players to trinidad , damn then its simple have some screening sessions over in tobago in order to have a look at potential talent discoveries in the sister isle ,( tobago).... after all its  about Trinidad and Tobago, not just Trinidad as it so often appears ..

Observer  its  nothing personnal bro with all due respect , pele has all rights to express his take on whom he believes is the more talented of the 2  players ( the neymar vs messi ) comments . there will always be debates and arguments regarding such topics , i do acknowledge as you mention its a neymar vs messi  subject !!!!!. however just had to give my take   when as you say some are comparing  messi  to pele ,  he aint reach there yet... . but sticking  to the issue of neymar vs messi comments many of us may  have a different take on that , however  i happen to admire both players  neymar  and messi  only time will tell by their overall achievements  who is deem better , history will be the judge , i just  hope they both  remain injury free and continue to entertain us  with their godgiven talents  respect to you  bro......!!!!!!

Pele is to this day  the greatest  player ever to date hands down ,  there is no arguing , not forgetting the great brazilian Garrincha who many will testify  was even better  than pele , but thats another subject for another day ..... ! when messi wins 3 worldcup  medals , and score over 1,289 goals then messi can be mentioned in the same breath... let the arguments/ discussions begin... i had the opprtunity to see the great pele  up close twice  live  with santos and the new york cosmos at the queens park oval along with beckenbauer . chinaglia,   edu. ferreira  what a  treat thats when great ballers use to come to our shores in TNT saw teofilo cubillas  the peruvian pele as they use to call him at the time .....ok the  bottom line pele was  the greatest and is still the greatest hands down  ..

First here is abit of info about Mr Lincoln Phillips credentials which should not be ignored ,  no disrespect any but its simply to inform the younger forumites who has never seen  lincoln perform as a player and his proven worth as a coach... i have seen him at his best i was a youth, at the time  he played for regiment  / which is now the defence... !!!  now being said here are some facts about his coaching credentials ..(A).Lincoln Phillips as coach of howards university won the division 1 championships in 1971 and 1974 .  he was also goalkeeper coach of the U.S mens senior national team , and under23 national team .. !! if am not mistaken was an assistant to bora milutinovic while bora milutinovic was the U.S mens coach as well...!! Mr Lincoln Phillips is the of a bachelors and masters in Physical education as well holds a ussf coaching badge..... hence in my estimation should be highly considered in any capacity as he is also known to be strict on discipline ... he will serve his country well ..Trinidad and Tobago will benefit from his knowledge undoubtedly.... other personnels to keep in mind are,(B) Gally Cummings , who has played in central america mexico to be exact and is familiar with the fooball culture there,  Gally is also a disciplinarian and knows his football , not forgetting his outstanding record against the mexicans i cannot forget 1973 in haiti to this very day  i meet haitians  here in  montreal  who still remembers  the names gally cummings , warren archibald and steve david ...( C) Terry fenwicke and Stuart Charles these are my imput choices
