What clubs are you talking bout mate, they just started a whole new league just a few weeks ago, that after football being sidelined for almost three years due to the normalization committee and the pandemic, and as it stands the clubs could barely pay their players let alone find money to develop players.

what is needed in TT is football schools like they have in europe, the government should have build five or six schools as such in this nation, four in every region of trinidad and two in tobago where experienced developmental coaches from europe are hired to teach these children how to play football properly.

As for the clubs in this country, they are a big fat joke, they don’t even have training facilities for their club players let alone proper facilities and resources to develop young talent. If I had any input on how football should move forward would be to get the state to spring for these projects under the ministry of education since these initiatives could be quite costly, but will bare fruit in the long term.

believe you me brother, Trinidad and Tobago is one lazy complaisant nation who needs to put their money to work for them by hiring outside help, because these locals with their limited knowledge wants to control every thing but have not a single clue, and that’s our biggest impediment, we too proud to ask for good help.

He should have never been hired in the first place, not that it would have made a difference anyway, because not even pep G could have whipped this untechnical bunch of footballers into winners.

These lads are at best english conference league low tier players, so my advice would be to not even waste your time bitching since no one would listen or care in the least. trinidad football is outdated and backward just like the old fools who control the votes in the east west north and southern divisions. it good it good it good, and more licks to come later.

As it says in the old trini vernacular, it good for allyu!!

Time and time again you people go through the same heartache and still won’t learn. it happened in guyana in 2011, then with the gold cup back to back to grenada, then the copa america to panama, then haiti and this same nicaragua with Tom saintfiet,

Then you all got booted out the world cup by peurto rico, the bahamas and st kitts, so when will you all understand that TT football gone through?

I knew once you struggled to beat monseratt in 2021 it was time to run from this country and their 1960s out dated bullshit brand of football. this what we are witnessing now is jack warner and Ollie camps vision for TT football and their field baring the fruits of their labor, this is what happens when you play games and sabotage a society for personal gain, both jack and DJW, this is their legacy.

When you people elect a good federation executive and start building youth development programs for football in the island and start doing right by football like El Salvador, peurto rico and panama, then maybe in 20 years your football would take shape in the right direction,

but if you continue to recycle rookie coaches like dereck king, angus eve and Brian Williams just to name a few who bounce around from the U15 - the mens senior team, these former footballers who have no experience outside the pro league, then it’s licks galore.

trinidad football lack vision, technicality and professionalism, and until you get rid of those dinosaurs who have the votes to choose who manage TT football, then the beatings will continue until you learn, and pretty soon you will fear facing teams like st lucia and dominica, just you watch.

  When will we show support for those who  continue to make efforts to share what they have learned back to our shores? Yes sadly a prophet is never honoured in their own country- Witness all the former glory players who have amassed vast international experience and played under a variety of coaches.
Given the opportunity to come home and coached,  we have continued to make them sacrificial lambs in the slaughter house of TnT football_
tried in vain list: Corneal , Lawrence, Latapy, John, Hart, now we jumping on Jones and Edwards- to name a few.
these are players who have proven their worth over time- represented TnT . could we not provide support to let them prove over time what a winning program could look like?

You don't get a pass for bad and terrible coaching tactics simply because you were a past player.

These past players should develop themselves as coaches before taking or being given assignment as national team coaches.

The opportunity to coach the national team is a
serious one. Not give him ah bligh and see what happens!
.

agreed, but it seems like these jokers in trinidad never learn from previous mistakes. we saw it with latapy, lawrence, angus with the U23, and again with the U20, yet we still think giving these former footballers our national team so cheaply will somehow translate into automatic success.

i want to see TT football drop to it's lowest, because it seems like until these baboons realize that they have a serious problem and needs to get to the root of the problem instead of focusing on the leaves and the sour fruits, we will continue to disappoint in these regional tournaments. lets face it, trinis too bloody slack and shameless.

you dummies still doing that everlasting post....whatever analysis you call it? chuckle. you trinidadians actually do suffer from delusions of grandeur, as you like to say "God is a trini", but i guess when it comes to football God does not get involved, but leaves that for the minions to figure out.

every where in the world federations follow the protocol of substantial financial investments in football with developmental programs and two tier leagues to facilitate promotion and relegation, except in the caribbean. you all just want to rely on raw talent and a silly 4 month league that see players unfit for the most of the year.

i happen to remember leo benhaker telling the league heads in trinidad that they need to do much more to develop players and raise the standard of play on the island specifically in the pro league, even wim was heavily criticized for telling you all about your laid back non committal attitude towards sports, football in particular.

do you all really believe that you could go out and face people who prepare for tournaments year round while you just come together a few weeks before a major tournament and achieve success? no matter who was coaching this team they would have loss to at least costa rica and canada.

we have players who obviously lack the basic skills needed to be competitive in world football. you must pay attention to our locally developed players and it's quite clear to see that most of them cannot dribble, they lack the ability to think under pressure, lack basic skills like controlling the ball with both feet, running at top speed with the ball planted at their feet, taking shots on the run with both feet comfortably, first touch and passing ability, and the most critical of them all, being able to shield off attackers giving their team mates time to find free space to receive a pass.

i notice that if any team we play applies intense pressure to keep us in our half, we hoof the ball back into our opponents half giving up possession instead of skillfully playing out the back, and that is exactly how the united states and mexico plays us every time, it's almost guaranteed. they pressure our defense who eventually hoofs the ball back to them, that's how they gain possession from us, and this has been going on now for over two decades, and no one has ever sought this out.

as for kenwin he needs to do like lawrence and latapy, go sit under a master for a couple seasons and learn the art of coaching. don't expect to get it right off the bat. maybe he's a good coach and maybe he's not, but i can tell you one thing, these women don't have an active league and has not played together for years, and the TTFA needs to get up off their tails and put in some work, or else it's more of the same ole cut tail religion from the bigger badder more prepared north and central americans.

Again we're here throwing out all these analysis and ideas on what we could have done differently, and we never stop to think that the problem just might be bigger than what we anticipate. how many times are we going to do this?

the problem is that we have a serious problem that we don't know that we have a problem, and that's a big big problem in it self. our past has shown us that despite our best efforts we are always vanquished by these north and central americans who is almost guaranteed all the points whenever we match up with them, be it home or way.

and until these monkeys sitting in the seat of these sporting disciplines humble themselves and realize that we need plenty help fixing this problem, then we will always send our children abroad to be embarrassed. you ever really wonder why de leon and zamora refused to represent us? no one wants to be put in such a predicament.

TT football needs plenty plenty help, and since we are an oil rich nation who could more than afford to get the help that we need, i'm still here baffled as to why we wont. oh i forgot, monkeys have huge egos....."we don't need no white man telling us what to do, we got this". pathetic.

I didn’t want to sound like a sore loser but when I saw Jamaica struggled to beat a 9-man Haitian team, I knew they were going to be in trouble with DR, which actually dominated Haiti in a friendly. I had no doubt El Salvador would lose to DR and Haiti was on a path to meet them in the quarterfinals. From a Haitian perspective, it would be a big embarrassment to lose to them in an international tournament! Loll

Anyway, this DR saga confirms that nothing beat good and proper preparation. It’s not about the names …like being Jamaica, Haiti, or Trinidad. You don’t prepare, you lose! Simple as that. They followed the Haitian model and opened a youth football academy where their youth players continuously get trained. The clubs from their national league have dominated CFU for the past few years. They’re on their way to become a serious contender in CONCACAF.

It’s true other minnows have made some noise then disappear like Antigua with Peter Byers’ generation, Puerto Rico with the Islanders, and currently Curaçao with a golden generation of imported players. Those are obviously short-lived successes. Powerful Curaçao has weak youth and women teams which means that their current status is not based on having a solid football foundation.

DR is different. They have a good foundation and I can only see them getting stronger and stronger. Some Haitians are saying that DR is strong because they have many Haitians playing in their clubs and even this U20 team has Haitian players. Yeah right! Those players live in the DR, they play football in the DR, they choose to play for the DR… so they are Dominicans, at least when it comes to football!

In conclusion, being named Jamaica, Haiti, or Trinidad is not enough to make other teams wet their pants. You must be able to back it up and THAT requires a good deal of preparation.

Do you know how they develop players in the english speaking caribbean particularly trinidad? they start off playing football in the streets, small goal or futsal, then when they're around 9 years old they might get picked to represent their primary school in a weekend idiotic league, in reality it's more like a kick ball session with absolutely no structure.

then when they enter secondary school they might play for the U14 and continue on to the U19 or SSFL. now let me inform you of what takes place, the players are trained during the summer for when the league opens in september and i think goes on until late november, roughly two months, then it's no football until the next season in september. now tell me, are these people serious? that's their development in a nut shell.

these boys learn how to kick a ball properly around the age of 14/15 where all the basic skills are taught to them, an age where players should already have a solid foundation and playing top tier football in domestic professional league, and that's why more serious countries will continue to mop the floor with english speaking caribbean teams, because the baboons that control CFU (which are mainly english caribbean federation bosses/ ala jack warner jeffery web, randy harris) are only there to see about their own interest, these donkeys could give one fart about football in the region.

i'm sad to see it happen to us, but as is said in local trini colloquial parlance, IT DAMN GOOD FOR WE!!  there's a certain slackness and lack of pride that plagues afro caribbean men who take charge of sport disciplines that burns my insides and frustrates the living daylights out of me. the kids in their care have so much to offer, yet they waste these talented children's future because of their complaisant attitude towards sports and politics in particular with their lack of ideas and effort.

In my estimation caribbean teams should never be out done by central americans especially when we have faster, tougher more athletic and physically fit genetics at our disposal.

just watch the olympics, track and field in particular, it is mainly dominated by caribbean athletes, and the only reason for that is because the colleges in the united states take these young people and train them properly. if it was up to trinidad and barbados, those athletes would under perform just like our footballers. the people not serious at all mate, and that is what the latin americans beat us with, their level of commitment and as you rightly said, planning. it's a sad thing to watch.

« on: June 30, 2022, 04:30:43 AM »

Some observations:

1. A FIFA press release regarding the passing of David John-Williams has been absent ... somewhat conspicuously. Is there one?

I have seen a CFU release. I would also be happy to be pointed in the direction of a CONCACAF release.

2. According to some reports, the House that John built is indeed a "john". According to other reports it is serviceable but not superlative. There isn't going to be a stampede to name the facility after others - given all the attendant circumstances.

3. It has informally been regarded as the David John-Williams Home of Football, so go for broke ... notwithstanding the seemingly tacit understanding that such a call would emerge.

that place doesn't even have a weight room, a spar or a training pool, let alone a recreational pool for hotel guest.

you know i often wonder why our people in the caribbean think so small, couldn't all the yes men around him inform him that these things is a must for a football home? the place is just a hotel in the middle of nowhere without in pool. i cringe when i contemplate my people down in that disheveled place, it seems like critical thinking is a rare commodity in that country.

it's a no brainer folks, you don't have to be an expert on the game to arrive at this conclusion. we need to think instead of stressing ourselves out when these players bum, and they will continue to bum until they get serious. too much jokers and amateurs running trinidad, that's the bottom line.

Eve- mr coach STOP the  excuses about experience etc-  on any given day; with  discipline, motivation a solid system conditioning  you never know what could happen.

Now if the coach is saying that CR had  experienced players  who were playing at a  WC level or  who were  way more advanced than our players,  could the same be said that a reason for our demise is the fact that our coaches and coaching lacks the depth of experience at a higher  international level which is required to  get out teams beyond playing yard football?
\

when i told you that these local coaches were obsolete you had some choice words for me, now you're seeing what i knew all along, now take what you earned and and shut up. it's people like you who keep this lazy train in service, patronizing men who talk a good game but have not a clue.

angus should have hung up his head coaching gloves since that drubbing by mexico 10 years ago in the olympic qualifying and go humble himself and sit under a master and learn his craft, instead of taking all those computer coaching courses and believing he's ready.

another thing needs to be explored is that no matter what coach you bring in, if your players are no match for their opponents then you could complain all day long, the most that could happen under a good coach is that they minimize the beating.

to be fair to any coach who has coached us in the last 20 years, (with the exception being lawrence and latapy who experimented with our national team) our lads were not on a top tier level in world football, and that's just the plain ole truth, so why blame the coaching staff? you can't get water from a stone mate.

you can't sit under a coconut tree listening to iwer drinking scotch and coconut water wining down low and having a time while your league sucks to the high heavens, and be of the opinion that you're going to beat mexico and costa rica just by showing up on match day.

these boys have been learning heir craft since they were old enough to walk and talk in a suitable professional football environment. they are trained in all the doos and don'ts from an early age till it becomes second nature, to let your wish upon a star poorly trained players traunch them.

they don't make errant passes, they don't make critical errors in their final third, they could possibly shield a ball from a herd of elephants, they're expertly trained to move on and off the ball tactically, they could sense poorly trained inept players and take advantage of their weakness.

these foreign players are also very quick thinkers, again, these skills are learned in a proper coaching school where the game is as much mental as it is skill and strength, but i don't know how many more beating we have to take before we address these flaws in a serious tactical way.

this will only get worst specially for CFU teams where none of them qualified for the U20 world cup.....well if you want to call DR a CFU team then i disagree since spain has been partnering with them as well as PR in recent years.

 i had to watch teams like panama, PR, cuba and DR, all baseball oriented countries come from behind and is now lapping conventional CFU team including the big four of haiti, jamaica T&T and antigua barbuda/ st kitts, it's an absolute disgrace, yet these primates in the caribbean see nothing wrong with that picture.

as usual we seem to view football as a sunday evening match i the hot sun  with music and drinks on the side lines.

both jack warner and mr webb thought it funny to do absolutely nothing for the development of the game, then this other non-entity randy harris not standing up to zurich using their votes to demand change and assistance to grow the game in this region.

these north and central americans know when they coming to the caribbean they will at least leave with points in the bag, if not all the points, and this has been going on for years.

you think if central america had  35 teams in their region they would want to be part of concacaf?? assuredly not!! they would have demanded their own confederation forthwith.

i have to listen to dummies like sancho , angus eve, nakid, clayton morris and brian williams crying about how our football has hit rock bottom because of the fifa dispute with WW and the TTFA,

but still none of these so called football gurus has ever lamented the fact that trinidad and tobago has ever did anything to step up their game despite flopping for over 30 years in all age categories in football.

we have seasoned professional footballers who don't know how to play the game in it's most basic structure, they think slow, they react slow, they prone to ball watching on attack and defense, their fitness level is terrible,

 their ball handling skill leave lot to be desired, their goal keepers despite many years in the sport haven't yet learned how to position themselves on defense, be it defending corners or hold suitable position on the goal line.

boy trinidad football is one very sorry sight, it's like we're still stuck in the 1970s.

These referee in CONCACAF is f**k up they're bias when it comes to any CARIBBEAN TEAMS, and Everything I've just said happens to my Jamaican team on Monday when we play against Honduras

by the way i have to disagree with you that our boy played well. yes the mexicans were very physical on the day but our guys are very unfit, weak and slow to every the ball.


have you ever watched our senior team play mexico? normally our players are more robust and quicker than the mexicans, and they are the ones who complain that we play way too physical, that's because most of these senior guys play abroad observe a high level of nutritional regiment and weight training.

we in the caribbean need to get serious with football, starting with that jokey football union call CFU. the caribbean is way behind the ball, and if it was up to me i would have us leave concacaf and have our own caribbean federation so we can demand more fifa funding for our overall development.

you were so right about the officiating. i too myself have been complaining about these concaccaf officials and how inept and corrupt they are, especially the latin american referees.

i saw that with the jamaica game yesterday. they refused to call many fouls committed on the jamaicans but the first jamaican mistake was penalized severely when the lad was send off because of a foul that was hardly a yellow card offense.

not to mention the first goal, despite the protest the referee refused to review the play on VAR. these concacaf referees in my opinion are terrible cheats and the absolte worst.

disgraceful performance and no answers from eve.

silver lining is they can collectively soak in the lessons from a painful cut-arse.

eve and carrington....do better. if allyuh can't grow this team or if the dual post is no benefit to u-20 or smnt then drop a damn post

It's the same ole same ole that have been going on for decades and still no one has learned a darn thing, how can you compete with countries that invest in their sports discipline? just look around you and see which caribbean team that has been dominant over the north and central americans...there aren't any, and do you know why? because we in CFU are lazy self serving monkeys who don't want to put in the work but crave positions of leadership while relying on talent alone for past 60 years.

Simple question to ask, what did jack warner do for caribbean football while he was both concacaf and CFU president? jeffery web is another back side who went into football just to fill his pockets, both him and warner did absolutely nothing to develop the standard of football in CFU, and the next idoit randy harris is even worst, just another yes man for easy votes.

i could tell you that if i was the CFU president i wouldn't align myself with any FIFA president because i would want my votes to count, and i would have demanded at least one FIFA funded full scale academy on every island together with a CFU league just like EUAFA with the top two teams from every island in CFU competing for a cup just like copa libertadores, in exchange for our votes.

We in trinidad sat down on our asses right after 1989 when we missed out on italy. no developmental programs, no league of consequence, no FIFA schools to develop coaches and referees, we were only relying on talent while the north and central americans were investing in proper development, so just take the licks and hush, we only getting paid what we worked for.

Just look at the mexican players tonight and you would get the point, they were powerful, disciplined, tactical and played with a plan, while our lads were unstable slower to the ball and were easily pushed off the ball by the stronger mexicans, they were also having a torrid time with the field conditions.

As for angus eve. he has never convinced me that he knows what he's doing, in fact all our coaches in CFU is gaining experience with these teams that they coach, it's true. non of them went and sat under a damn good coach and gained experience and proper knowledge of the game by learning from a master, yet they land big head coaching jobs, this only happens in CFU.

Didn't shabbaz say that he will never sit under steven hart? he was too high and mighty to sit and learn from that fresh water foreigner. shabbaz, angus and latapy have the same mentality, even though i give latapy a little more credence for coaching in scotland before he embarked on a full scale coaching expedition.

So save your disappointment mate, and do like me and watch with a coaches eye. the last straw for me was when they fired fenwick for angus, claiming that coaching was the reason for us flunking out of the world cup, when it wasn't coaching but lack of development, and the fact that most of our lads play in very poor leagues around the world.

i told you guys about english lads, they live for the lions i tell you. there were many english born irish and scottish lads who refused to represent their mother country. and looking back on the whole thing, can you blame bobby zamora?

think about it, the world cup would have been his last appearance because after that jack warner banned the world cup squad over monies owed and bobby would have been embroiled in that whole embarrassing debacle.

now fast forward some 16 years later and trinidad and tobago still don't have their act together, so i say good call bobby, you dodged a poison arrow mate. these jokers in trinidad has done all but heap dirt on TT football.

every few years is bacchanal and more bacchanal, one FIFA yes man jumped off our backs and not long after he was replaced by a more ruthless one with both graving patrimony over football in trinidad and tobago.

my take is, if you're a top notch player who has the potential to play for a more establish footballing nation and chose trinidad with all it's staggering problems, then you're either reckless with your career or extremely sentimental. shucks trinidad don't even have a good league, and that bogus bush league they have produces a top notch player once in every 10 years.

trinidad and tobago football association have plenty work to do before they could attract anyone who really has a lot going for them by throwing their hats in the ring to represent TT, a country that's still owing players and coaches since 2005, you fellers can't be serious to be sore at bobby?

it could have been his own father who cussed him out and said, leave those mad people and their football alone boy and hold out for the country of your birth. i know if my son was as talented and considered trinidad i would've drove that idea so far from him, with TT football being in such a hot mess annal.

these lads here just ain’t good enough, and they don’t have what it takes to compete on a higher level collectively. they play in very mediocre leagues and most of them have very poor basic skills, in addition, their concentration level leaves much to be desired, so what’s there to love?

These people refuse to invest in sports but expects to be successful, that’s madness. they will continue to bum, and to weaker teams in concacaf. and I’m hoping that if this continues maybe then they will get the message and make a turn around and invest heavily in all sports especially football.

guys like JJ and molino aren't really what we call leadership material, though they are very good footballers who can still contribute to the cause, but i watch sheldon bateau in the highlights and correct me if i'm wrong, but that man seems to me that he struggles a lot concentrating for 90 plus minutes.

GOP, please, forget about that lil boy, he's not even worth mentioning. when ever grown folks have a difference of opinion and there's no way forward in terms of constructive dialogue, and bad manners finds it's way into the discussion and becomes their first option, then these are people to avoid.

in reality controversial and ABtrini is the only two people i have ever insulted on the forum and only because they are relentless in annoying the members. but prior to this unpleasant encounter i had no reason to mix it up with sando, in fact i've stayed clear of him for the most part simply because he seemed to very aggressive and ill mannered, so i avoided him altogether, i guess i should have continued along those lines and ignored his aggression, i guess first impressions should never be abandoned.

gawd on pitch aka drama boy we are waiting on the more drama you say going to happen. You said wait for more drama so we waiting.

Because last few days all I am seeing is the usual after Olympics crying from the few old men in here

What is the drama? Another long facebook post from Ato? 

At some point the country will get used to Ato after Olympics/ World Champs social media outbursts. It will just be another one from him.

We are waiting on the drama you seem to be worked up about. 
.

Okay Sando, no drama I was wrong. . Your wisdom is God like. .

Now back to the more progressive and constructive aspects of this topic, I think putting more emphasis on the women's program is important. Our women are yet to win a medal. For Jamaica and Bahamas it has traditionally been the opposite. Meaning that there might be barriers in TT preventing women from pursuing track.

Another thing to consider is the emphasis on the 100m. Too many times I have seen at the national championships, 4 and 5 sections for the 100m and not even 5 athletes for one heat of a 400m or 400mh

Start by putting more emphasis on the 400m then push the kids into 100m and 200m.. and even hurdles.

I'm a believer that introducing the 400m before the 100m,  will create better and produce more sprinters. Something about teaching sprinters to run the full track at a young age, helps them measure and manage their race better especially when they go down to the 200 and 100. Also the endurance and stamina needed always helps. The 400m is a good foundation.

you have real patience fam, unlike me. as soon as I saw him all up under ato’s hood I knew he wasn’t worth the effort, not to mention he keeps saying the same bullshit over and over again “unrealistic expectations every four years and after the world games…old man old man old man” now he’s pretending that ato’s only criticism was directed towards the forum members, which only a small portion of his post mentioned the forum, but he ignored a whole article which was specifically aimed not only at the TTO but all sporting federation that send athletes to the olympic games, saying the exact same thing that I have been preaching for years.

people like him sit on a forum and run his mouth continually criticizing people he’s never met, but ask him if he’s ever volunteered his time to any cause? and it might be that he did, but I seriously doubt it. I have been volunteering my services for years coaching children on weekends back in the midlands, and now that I’ve moved to america I’m actually in the process of building a top notch coaching school in trinidad geared towards teaching the game properly and has been liaising with the government and curtain NGOs to get this program off the ground.

we have already done the ground work and has diagnosed the impediments in local football, now it just a waiting game ATM. a few years ago an Italian club wanted to collaborate with a few caribbean countries to develop an academy but had some trouble with the TT delegate, not to mention that things fell all the way through, I believe they were getting better current from the jamaicans but I did not follow up being extremely disappointed at the way things…….did not work out.

so let this little dirty mouth boy continue to talk trash, I’m figuring that’s all he has going for himself anyway so i’m gracious enough to let him have it. in the mean time i’ll continue to offer my knowledge and if people find me annoying and out of sorts then they could kick rocks for all I care. my main objective is to harass these bloody lazy trinis who gets paid to further damage the country, if only there were real journalist in that country like mr jennings.

I will be extremely disappointed if angus cements his spot as head coach, which would just be another episode of the russel latapy/ Dennis lawrence charade IMO. so just spend the money and get yourself a solid experienced coach and stop taking short cuts for christ sake, do we ever get tired of making the same mistakes over and over again?

Ato they already went back to business as usual. Why you hurt up your head anyway? remember you said you dust your hands off completely so it is what it is because it shows you still want to be involved

I have already told the fools in here you are only disappointed because you set unrealistic expectations of medals. On what basis are you predicting T&T to win a bag of medals? What has changed in the last ten years? What is our usual trajectory of medals at the Olympics in the last 25+ years? one medal here and one medal there has always been the norm.

I can agree with Ato, allyuh memories short! So Ato go ahead you just keep predicting no medals. People will just get used to you saying this in the end and no medals happen we already used to that..

.

Ato is basically saying the same things I’ve been saying all along for the past 5 years but in a different way, and the only reason you didn’t jump out of yourself is because he’s the legendary ato bolden, so you’re softening your tone while stroking his scrotum with your whole tongue hoping to get his approval, you ass kissing self important tosser.

people like you only have strength for ordinary folks, but when confronted with VIPs all your activism goes out the window. why not call ato an old man with unrealistic expectations? nah you dear not, so you’ll find a way to get your point across in a more gentile manner, after all you don’t want to be seen as the guy who took it to ato boldon our national hero, but you have no reservations unleashing your full on nasty to me and the other members whom you deem as soft targets.

you keep harping on folks having unrealistic expectations by longing for medals, and no matter how I break it down showing that it’s not about the medals but the preparations and the lack of development and the lazy effort by these clueless federation/ association bosses……whom if removed and replaced with vibrant willing minds endowed with the knowledge to make the necessary changes it could make a world of difference and spell the end of our drought, yet you’re still on about the medals like a broken record. well let me say it again for the millionths and one time, we want positive change that’s what we want, and the medals will follow. do you people even read before you make noise? and BTW wipe that stain off your nose.

i heard big mouth brian lewis on the news last night saying that next time we will do better. the nerve of these people who believe that they should grow old and wither in the seat of power, like somehow they were anointed president and not elected.

i would think that if i was was under performing in my duties that i would have the pride in myself to step aside and allow someone who's more knowledgeable to lead, i guess i'm that way because i left trinidad at a very young age so the disease of egoism did not have enough time to take root. this man should be hiding under a bed until next year before making any statements, at least until every one forgets, but here he is big and bold running his big mouth trying to pacify the public.

man, living in trinidad must be a wonderful experience, you get to do whatever you like and still keep your position. it must be true what most london trinis claim, they say that trinidad is a paradise. there must be some truth to that as it clearly seems to be the case, at least from my point of view....at least....

Everyone crying like after every Olympics and after every World Champs, Including Ato... the usual historic trajectory is still 0 to 1 medals and there was nothing to make you believe it would have been any different in Tokyo

You can come here and post your guts away in this forum, no one cares 
.

it's either you have a considerable amount of burro in your DNA or english is not your first language. let me reiterate for the millionth time since context has somehow evaded you. mister no one really cares about medals or achievement as much as proper planning and effort being put in place to ensure success by these administration presidents.

what you're saying is leave things the way they are because that's the best we will ever do, while we're saying that we could do much better if the people who are in charge only had a clue, and i'm not surprised with the way you think, wim risbergen talked about people like you when he coached the national team, even a foreigner saw it clearly, that's how obviously glaring it must be.

he said you happy go lucky trinis spend your precious time liming under coconut trees drinking jin and coconut water and taking it easy instead of putting in the work necessary to achieve success, and people like ato, kenwin jones, oto fister, benhakker, steven hart and sheldon phillips shared the very exact sentiment, which is that we need to invest much more on our sportsmen and women with better infrastructure and developmental strategy in order to compete well. 

ato himself predicted that we would not get a single medal, i myself was hoping that no one medalled (i even post it on page 4 of this same thread way before the track and field kicked off), and just so that they (the respective association bosses and their chorus line) would finally get the message that you just can't scramble a team together at the 11th hour without proper planning and be successful, and this is what people are really concerned about.

the government is pouring millions into sports each and every year with billions of dollars in sporting allocations in the annual budget, yet all these brainless donkeys are lagging behind in their respective sporting discipline with the same strategy over and over. they plan better for carnival and devali than they do for any major sporting tournament, and ato is basically saying that he's tired of the lazy effort, and we could do better if the right thinking people were in charge.

no one is saying that we should bring home a wheel barrow filled with an assortment of medals like china and russia or we aught to put jamaica and the rest of the caribbean athletes to shame, no. what we're saying is that our athletes should at least be given the right grooming at a tender age in a proper professional environment in order to compete well, and that's all we ask, but as it stands good money is being wasted by a bunch of clueless monkeys who refused to admit that they're in over their heads.

evidently the athletes and the good citizens of this nation are not getting bang for their buck and simply because the wrong people are in charge, and not only are they clueless, but they refuse the council and aid of professionals like ato who offered themselves and their services and was ignored, while they (the administrators) continue along the same losing avenue, and it's high time that they step aside and let people with know-how and vision steer the ship from now on, but knowing my people as well as i do....... their inflated egos would not allow it. they would rather sink the ship with everyone on it, the quint essential trinidadian mindset. at least that's what i got from ato bolden, and i second his sentiments 1000%.

I was waiting for Ato to speak about the performance. I know he wasnt going to hold back.

Good for him. It's the sport he's passionate about and was outstanding at the highest levels. He of all people has the cachet to put them on blast. 

Absolutely. These guys running the show do not want to be told what to do. Especially from someone who has that cache. They would rather have people around who keep them in they comfort zone.

why don’t that tosser from sando call ato an old complaining nuisance? after all he basically repeated my exact sentiments, he’s here complaining about our failure at the olympics and the lack of developmental programs together with the cluelessness of the respective federation presidents in charge of these sport disciplines, and he’s not on the forum like he used too be and he’s up in age like I am, or is it that they love to jump on people they don’t deem as important?

what ato said could easily apply to any sporting body in TT just like I have outlined in recent times, and he’s 100% correct. it’s a bunch of self important unconscionable clueless trinis who’s in charge of sports on that island, and the majority of them are without degrees or qualification to hold down these portfolios, yet their friends and former colleagues in the sport has given them the vote of confidence to further destroy the sport. how many years must the public suffer as a result of nepotism.

a perfect example was angus eve’s performance at the gold cup, his friends in the sport like Clayton Morris and the fearless one has given him a passing grade to continue although he has won not a single game in the gold cup while losing out to guatemala a game he should have won. if terry fenwick had done what he did vs mexico the whole country would have been inundated with negative comments claiming how it was the worst game we ever played, but since it was one of their good friends they claimed it was a brilliant strategy. this is the rubbish we TT supporters have to contend with from these so called sport legends and vision less administrators,

and there are fools who’s claiming that we shouldn’t expect any better because that’s the norm, and only because you don’t frequent a section of a certain message board you shouldn’t complain, oh yeh? well is time to change the norm says not only me, but the king of track and field in trinbago, a man with 4 Olympic medals.

I am not going to waste my time like you in here bro. I never had any expectations for T&T doing well. Since Ato was running for T&T how well was the team doing? He was the only one winning medals. You guys pretend T&T at some point was a good Track and Field nation because of what exactly? winning one medal every Olympics? After 1976 we did not win a medal until 1996 so how is this new? and every Olympics the ones who do not follow and understand come with absurd expectations for medals.

This was my last comment.

.

You're right about that Sando. But you're wrong about "you"not having any expectations. Check your past posts in the track and field forum. I'm just saying. .

mate you’re wasting your time with a fool, and I’m not calling him a fool because he’s a tool, I’m calling him a fool because he is. just listen to his rationale, we don’t normally do good at athletics and our failure over the years is ample proof, well duh, of course we’re not gonna win anything at any sports disciple because as I said repeatedly our sports administrators suck, and not only them but our ministry of sports also suck as well as the corporate sector who has failed miserably to invest a penny in any sport developmental programs with the exception of cricket.

So tell me why do we even bother to attend the Olympics, the World Cup qualifiers, the gold cup or CCL if we’re gonna lose? in fact why even waste money trying, better yet why not defund the sport ministry and redirect funds to more pressing areas like health or education and forget sports altogether? by saying well I don’t expect us to win anything because we only win a medal every ten years, is piss poor thinking, when the real discussions (by someone who actually use their brains) should be, why not fire everyone involved in our sporting discipline and hire people who actually know how to develop athletes, footballers, basketballers etc and put our tax and oil dollars to use?

TT needs to stop this retarded notion of “let we give we own local good ole boys a chance instead of running to foreigners” and actually invest in developmental programs for sports men and women. we have the money now all we need to do is build the facilities and hire real dedicated capable people to develop our athletes and quit with this local vs foreign bullshit.

I don’t have a problem with locals involvement in sports, but they must be well qualified and have experience in other countries gaining valuable knowledge of their sporting discipline, but don’t bring me some jealous minded big mouth boy who just looking for a job but never even left the island to study abroad but wants to be highly considered, IMO that’s been what hamstringing us for decades.

I believe we should make it mandatory for every sport administrator to have experience elsewhere and a degree in their respective field to even apply for the post, same with coaches, you must have all your qualifications by international standards and you must spend time in a solid league plying your trade in order to come home and stand any chance of teaching our children.

we should have a no nonsense approach where no shit hounds are allowed to just walk in and find employment. and until we are critically serious about sports, then we will be losing every time we step out to compete and have the mind set that we’re not expecting anything great to happen because it usually don’t, and it usually don’t because we don’t prepare well or put in the work to ensure success, and that’s all that’s about.

BTW jamaica used to be just like us winning medals now and again, that is until they decided to invest heavily in athletics, their efforts are now paying dividends, just ask yourself which US college did usain bolt attended? his development started and ended right there in Kingston, him and quite a few athletes who are all accomplished Olympians.

so don’t study those fools who living in trinidad, they’re all extremely insecure and when faced with outside competition their nepotism and xenophobia jumps out like a wild cat trapped in a closet, just listen to that dunce sando, all he have is a bitter venomous colloquial tongue, but could offer no sensible advice, just insults, what a wank job.

Pull Stones I will not even waste time with you old man. Keep your old dry stones in your hands and apparently in your mouth. If you do not understand my posts is telling people like you why YOU care when YOU really dont care and dont know what is going and only here to see who win a medal so sit your old ass down. Olympics done now you can go back to your regular programming you cunny hole

I wasn’t gonna waste my time with you either but sometimes a silly man needs to see his own folly in order to recover. you’re here calling members old like you’ll stay young forever, at least in my “old” age I’ve seen a sane productive trinidad, where as you tender bottoms has made your own country a horror story. growing up I didn’t have to worry about being shot or abducted, I could have walked anywhere at any time of the day or night without fear. today you “snatty nose” have to watch your every step because you don’t have any values, in addition to that you don’t even like your country or have an appreciation for sports and your life expectancy is lessened exponentially.

you’ve never been to an intercol game where you could barely find standing room, the place is filled to capacity and over flowing into the streets, yes green back those were the days when sports men and women longed to represent the flag…..it meant something in those day you know. now today a league final is playing in the stadium and no one cares. the people are so mindless that they raised their progeny on fast food and is confused as to why we don’t produce quick sturdy children anymore.

you trinis who were raised after those three brain drains that the country suffered are the dregs of what once was a thriving nation, you were raised by the foolish amongst us…the un-ambitious the irrational the destroyers of a once progressive society. So call me old, see if I care.TBH I find that rather hilarious being 57 years old and all, I thought old was farther down the road but whatever, you’re a silly feller anyway so I would laugh off anything coming from you in particular.

as for sports my response remain the same. TT will continue to send our children out to tournaments unprepared to be embarrassed just so that those babblers masquerading as sports administrators could have a job, and then they wonder why we are failing and looking everywhere else to cast blame except at their own feet, and you don’t have to live on a sports forum day and night to understand that we are governed by apes, full stop, end of story.
