« on: December 20, 2013, 06:19:07 PM »salt since 2008 it looks like http://socawarriors.net/archive/FPATT.htmFPATT still exist? It should be flourishing now.......no?It ever had one? all that was required was for players to pay a small membership fee and that run everybody.
Maybe it needs to be relaunched with some different blood........all the back and forth between club and national team........players need to look out for players

Football / Re: Joevin Jones set for Italy trial with Udinese
« on: December 15, 2013, 02:29:59 PM »I agree with what you are saying but sometimes the maturity level just isn't there as yet for a young man and no matter what age sometimes we all need a strong support system around us.......especially during a life alternating move........making the adjustment from T&T into the real world is not easy for anyoneI like JJ....but gotta be honest here....if that clip is what he's going through on that trial it aint making no sense. Correct me if I'm wrong but he got 2 touches? One kinda scaredy header and another to throw in the ball. NOBODY passed to him...NOBODY. Poor JJ body language and all poor. His shoulders dropped.....I could only imagine what he going through....probably aint understanding one ass, nobody giving him a pass, he aint know what to do and he cant even get d chance to do what he could do (play ball). Any local up there with him?Flex right about those guys having some kind of support with them or they need a workshop on what to expect while on Trial.......otherwise Im thinking 2 things........he needs to assert himself (be more aggressive) and whoever running the training should/would make sure plays are running thru him to see what he have to offer........that's if an Invited Trial
That's for college. This is a big man game. It have so many other players waiting to come in and impress right away. No one have to make things good for you. They open the door for you now the onus is on you to find a seat, you can make some one get up or you can wait until someone tired sitting down.

I wish!! Facilities are scarce. We have looked at several options but they were either not suitable or not available.
Center of Excellence have indoor field? If it does talk to Horner.........long time once winter reach we would train at a local college basketball gym.

It's really about disappointment to me since I have the perception of a certain level of professionalism at this organization and from what I am reading the kid did nothing wrong but it was the organization that gave little effort........hopefully he can now see the signs of when a girl don't want to give you a little bubble in a dance to look elsewhere.......BUT for the next kid who comes knocking at their door that organization should do better because I keep hearing we too small of a nation to be playing games with the rare amount talented football available to us........and you know what is refreshing and encouraging.........not reading anywhere that the kid has an attitude problem and wanted to go to Zen every other night........I think I still vex he didn't put soca d video he posted though

if it was a genuine trial/opportunity:
1) should have been done when club stakeholders were available to evaluate his talent
2) he should not have been chaperoned by individuals whose jobs he was there to possibly take
3) actually practice and train with the team and not a fete match

Guess I wasn't that confused..........there was a lack of professionalism in handling the youth..........should have just told him to save his resources for a genuine opportunity..........lesson learnt hopefully...........hope he continues to be ambitious not just with football but keep educational opportunities a priority as well.

« on: December 10, 2013, 04:41:12 PM »be patient because I have no idea how a trial suppose to go on a professional level........I was thinking he would be training with the team and there would be a specific person to chaperone him during his time........who are DM and AR......are they team administrators? I not touching the race thing because I does always put kakahoolery and socioeconomic elitism before racism in sweet T&T..........from the individual posts in this thread I am getting the impression that the kid not recruited and was treated as such.......an afterthought to satisfy a favorI'm confused..........school boy had an appointment for a trial...........go to trial on he own dime.........and people too busy..........somebody other than the school boy needs to take responsibility.........that's fogged up no matter how you look at it
yep, you're confused.
A 22 year old man asked for a trial. He was invited to train with the team. He didn't do bad and was told by the coach to step up a little now he had settled in, but chose to go home.
He did pay his own ticket, which is normal. He stayed with family, 5 minutes from the club office. Severe weather meant training was moved to Port of Spain. We arranged for him to get a lift with Jan-Michael.
Several sessions were dedicated to game preparation such as set pieces, transition etc so he didn't take part. He was invited to play in an exhibition game and traveled back with other guys.
From what I gather, he didn't like Darren Mitchell (?) or Adrian Romain. Then he left without talking to anybody or having the courtesy to tell anyone he was leaving, although I understand there was a family emergency which he had warned me about before he arrived.
Just a usual thing in football that happens everywhere, but everyone seems to look for reasons and excuses. And how racism can even be considered is ridiculous.

I because it still does not make sense to me.........I have little to no patience for nonsense.........and in this day and age this entire fiasco is nonsense being perpetrated by individuals who are suppose to be our most educated and business oriented nah man........transparency for me is the bank slip that SW posted in the thread........transparency is Native Spirit showing documentation of what is being claimed..........not a delayed double talking media response from TTFA.........I think people would have been satisfied with a cheaper product knowing that the majority of what they contributed went directly to the kid

The Association also described the “quality of the T-shirt, and especially the print” as “exceptional”, and said that the TTFA, in partnering with Native Spirit, had sought to ensure its brand was placed on “items of an excellent standard”.
