« on: May 10, 2006, 09:30:57 AM »

So like i say before, you looking to Jamaica for guidance?

Who is playing Peru?  The West Indies?!

So you're saying that T&T is not part of the West Indies - the region as well as the cricket team. Like i say, if you so insecure as to feel less of a Trini b/c they playing a 3rd song then that is you.

Like you can't read or what?  I am asking who is playing Peru?  ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
If you read any of the article, you would realize that the anthem was created because  the Windies Cricket team does not have an anthem for the World Cup 2007... NOT because of anything else.

Ross felt since every nation in the upcoming Cricket World Cup (2007) in the West Indies would have their anthem played, “we as West Indians should have a song to play also.”

What is the context here? Let me help: 'We as West Indians should have a song to play also AT THE CRICKET WORLD CUP 2007.'
So are we playing a ODI with Peru?

Besides all of that, the timing is simply WRONG.  Let T&T glory in their own accomplishments without a bunch of parasites trying to identify with us after they HATED us down for so many years... and STILL HATE US DOWN - whether or not you want to admit it.

But at the same time, if you so want to identify as a Trini, why you have to compare with anything. If you is big bad trini, what difference it make if Jamaica, or the US or anybody do something?

What utter stupidness are you speaking here?!  Like you can't reason either or what?  The point of the comparison was to bring out the abundance of the inverse of wisdom that is present in this decision!  It was not said to say 'why don't we do like the Jamaicans would!'  That's just ridiculous!

This sudden 'Windiesness' (a.k.a. 'Opportunist Waggonism') is entirely inappropriate.  Let them sing the anthem AFTER the World Cup NOT SUDDENLY during our preparation game!

It is never inappropriate to promote Caribbean unity.

This is not a big deal and a positive thing i think. We as a region have to start thinking as though we all belong and stop this crab-in-bucket mentality. No one is more proud than me when the T&T national anthem play for any event. if you feel that playing a 3rd song at a football match somehow lessens your value as a Trini well... I doh know what to tell you.

Also, since when we start taking directions from Jamaica?

Cricket Anyone / Ken Gordon and the Captaincy Saga

Ken Gordon and the Captaincy Saga

Wednesday, May 03, 2006 @ 19:53:14 EDT
by RYAN PATRICK
http://www.caribbeancricket.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2057

West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) president Ken Gordon announced the reappointment of Brian Lara as captain of the West Indies team without the approval of the full board, a decision that almost backfired into a public relations debacle.

In fact, according to several sources familiar with the matter, the WICB president was summoned to an emergency WICB teleconference immediately after the captaincy announcement to explain why he overstepped his authority.

In a scenario that closely resembles the circumstances that led to the sudden resignation of Pat Rousseau as WICB president in 2001, Gordon's rush to reappoint Lara without formal board approval put him in a sticky situation and, as one Gordon ally said afterward, "the president has dodged a bullet."

The saga of Lara's reappointment highlights the challenges Gordon is facing to implement his own aggressive style of business management on a board that is accustomed to micromanaging all major decisions.

Since taking over from Teddy Griffith last August, Gordon has ignored the directors in between board meetings and forged ahead with crucial decisions to cut costs and find alternative sources of revenue but, as he found out in the latest episode, that management style has rubbed several influential directors the wrong way.

It all began when West Indies selection panel made a formal recommendation for Ramnaresh Sarwan to take over from Shiv Chanderpaul as captain.

When the Sarwan nomination reached the board, it was rejected and Ken Gordon asked selection panel convenor Joey Carew to find out if Lara would be willing to take the job for a third time.

Carew and T&T cricket board president Deryck Murray met with Lara separately and sounded out his interest and commitment to leading the side into the 2007 World Cup.

Lara told the duo he would consider it if he got the full, unconditional support of the board. After those meetings, Carew and Murray reported that Lara said all the right things about his future and his commitment to West Indies cricket.

Gordon himself met with Lara to help convince the champion batsman that his leadership was needed to present a strong West Indies side at the World Cup.

Gordon felt he needed to act swiftly with his Lara appointment because an empowered cricket committee -- consisting of members with a strong anti-Lara sentiment -- could potentially derail the plans.

By now, the cricket committee got wind of the plans and some members went public to make it clear that they supported a long-term captain. Clive Lloyd and Andy Roberts were among the committee members who publicly supported Sarwan's candidacy for the post.

The weekend before his announcement, Gordon called a meeting of the WICB's executive committee (made up of the six regional board presidents) to listen to recommendations from himself and Murray for Lara to be confirmed. Jackie Hendricks did not dial in to the conference call, meaning that the Jamaica Cricket Association (JCA) was not represented at the meeting.

At that meeting, Gordon got approval from the majority of the executive committee and he instructed the outgoing CEO Roger Brathwaite to make arrangements for a press conference to make the announcement.

Brathwaite then told the president that the executive committee could not choose a captain because the board's own internal rules call for the full board (two directors from each territory) to approve the decision.

Gordon then asked the board presidents to consult with the six other directors and get a consensus on Lara.

In Guyana, Chetram Singh was having trouble reaching Bish Panday, his counterpart on the board. Jackie Hendricks and Dave Cameron, the two Jamaican directors, were left out of the loop altogether.

The rest of the directors were waiting for a board meeting to reconvene to vote on the matter when they heard that Ken Gordon had made the announcement on live radio with Lara at his side.

Furious that he had overstepped his authority, several directors led by Chetram Singh called the board and expressed his anger at Gordon's premature announcement.

Faced with a serious public relations crisis, Gordon started making calls. He explained to Jamaica's Jackie Hendricks that his support was crucial to avoid a major embarrassment. A similar call was placed to Bish Panday in Guyana.

The directors all agreed to sign off on Lara's captaincy and avoid a PR debacle on the condition that Gordon was told that he was acting beyond his authority.

The next day, an emergency teleconference was arranged and several directors -- led by Singh and Hendricks -- expressed outrage at Gordon's actions.

In his defense, the president explained the board presidents were told to consult with their colleagues and since they didn't report with any negative feelings -- and with the ODI series against Zimbabwe fast approaching -- he felt he had to make the announcement.

"In the end, he actually blamed the executive committee for not consulting," said a source in the Guyana Cricket Board.

At one stage during the meeting, Gordon actually put the question to the full board: "Gentlemen, did I overreach my authority?" Several directors, including Singh, Hendricks and vice president Val Banks, voted that Gordon had indeed acted beyond his authority.

Lara would remain captain but the message was sent.

A person close to Gordon said the president is struggling hard to cope with the existing culture of the WICB, where directors have to ratify every decision.

"Sometimes, you just have to make a decision and move forward but every asshole has an opinion," the source said, expressing frustration at the culture of micromanagement that has slowed decision making to a crawl.

"They sit around, questioning everything. Sometimes, you need someone to just take the bull by the horns and get the job done. These directors have been there for years and all they did was run the board into bankruptcy."

"Now someone comes along with energy and is getting things done and all they do is complain and complain," the source said, citing Guyana's Singh as a major stumbling block.

The reappointment of Brian Lara as West Indies captain did not go down well with everyone, and it has now emerged that Ken Gordon, the West Indies cricket Board chairman, made the announcement without the approval of the board.

According to caribbeancricket.com, Gordon was summoned to an emergency telephone conference immediately after the announcement where he was asked to explain why he had overstepped his authority.

A source close to Gordon made clear the frustration with the cumbersome committee structure.

Dislikes:
1. Passing is an issue. Yeah, yeah, i can set up the auto features to my liking, but it should at least be reasonable out of the box. You pass a man a ball and he run back from where he was wide open to collect the ball next to you and then get bat.

2. Damn near impossible skills. once again, If i was home all day doing nothing, this would not be a problem, but the skills joystick produces sometimes unpredictable results. And no, I not trying to remember what Yorke best move is , vs Latapy (who does get bat easy easy)

3. Can't sub the goalkeeper for an outfield player - What kinda s#$# is that? Them never hear about Campos or what?

4. it appears possible, but i can't seem to get a Steven Gerrard -like long diagonal cross into the area.

say what, I know i am not no FIFA peong. (doh mind i have every edition since like 94) I would actually prefer a more arcade-like game. Like I say, i doh have time to learn who prefer to do what.

The question for me is not so much one of privacy, but rather, do fans really want to go to the game with passport in hand? (as opposed to the hotel safe) After all, when we beat Sweden/England/Paraguay, it will be like j'ouvert and men might end up sleeping in a drain somewhere covered in oil...

Online World Cup scalpers meet high-tech resistance
By Doreen Carvajal International Herald Tribune

MONDAY, MAY 8, 2006
http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/05/07/business/tkts.php

PARIS With tickets for World Cup games almost as precious as goals, desperate soccer fans are flocking to the Web to engage in a form of ticket scalping that comes with the usual huge markups and red-card threats to eject secondhand buyers from the stadiums.
 
New technology is a bane and a blessing for frantic international buyers in the last stage of sales for the remaining 3.1 million tickets to 64 games that begin in June across Germany.
 
The prized tickets are trophies in a strict selling and trading system, developed by Germany's local soccer organizing committee, to combat advanced online globalization of the black market. The organizers' weapons are pinhead-size radio frequency microchips inserted in tickets and old- fashioned shrill threats. Privacy advocates in Germany are more worried about the chips, raising Big Brother alarms about their links to an electronic database of personal information about purchasers.
 
The rules are that legally purchased tickets, with unique identification codes contained on individual chips, can be transferred only among relatives or in connection with hardship cases, not excluding assorted events of mass destruction like epidemics, earthquakes, natural catastrophes and acts of war.
 
But barring plagues and locusts, hope is eternal. Tickets for the finals are selling for upward of $3,000 on eBay in the United States, which has emerged as a ticket exchange of last resort because of new restrictions in Britain, where World Cup ticket scalping is a criminal offense.
 
Soccer governing bodies like FIFA, which presides over the World Cup, and UEFA, the European soccer authority, had lobbied hard for restrictions, arguing that it was a security issue, because violent fans could buy tickets online through individual sellers and find themselves seated next to rival supporters.
 
"The days of a ticket tout standing in the shadows are so far gone," said Jerry McGrath, legal counsel for UEFA, who noted that "traditionally the concern is the breakdown of crowd segregation so that different clubs and national teams are separated. Online sales threaten segregation because it is an uncontrolled market."
 
Britain has gone the furthest to regulate ticket sales, although sports bodies have unsuccessfully pressed eBay, the online auction company, to halt trading on Web sites in Germany and the United States, where similar regulation does not exist.
 
"We look at local laws and how they apply in every country," said Catherine England, a spokeswoman for eBay. "The policies reflect the legal statues in those countries."
 
The eBay site in the United States has become something of a Wild West, drawing global participation after Britain banned World Cup ticket scalping.
 
Ebay takes the view that the risks reside with the ticket buyer in cases of passes that are refused at stadium gates. So do some security experts.
 
"I would advise any fan, caveat emptor," said Douglas Greenwell of Group 4 Securicor, a security group for sporting events that has tracked Internet sales. "At worst, they're going to lose all their money. At best, the ticket is legitimate, but they may not get entry into the stadiums."
 
"Consider," he added, "watching it on television."
 
In a report to be issued Monday, Group 4 Securicor says World Cup tickets with a face value of as much as €600, or $764, were selling for an average of more than €1,400 through online outlets. In April, when its survey took place, a pair of tickets to see England play Trinidad and Tobago in Nuremberg on June 15 sold for almost €2,200. Prices have been climbing even higher.
 
Meanwhile, German organizers and FIFA officials continue to urge fans to shun the black market and buy through official channels at www.FIFAworldcup.com or trade tickets on another officially sanctioned site where they are sold at face value.
 
Last-minute tickets, however, were difficult to obtain in the stage of sales that began in May, when tickets were made available sporadically as corporate sponsors released the ones that they did not plan to use.
 
High-paying corporate sponsors of World Cup games could claim as many as 490,000 of the 3.1 million tickets, although FIFA said companies ultimately exercised an option to buy only 380,000, more than 12 percent of the total.
 
"Consumers should take note," a FIFA press official said. "Match tickets that are obtained by way of an illicit ticket sale or promotion will be automatically subject to a possible cancellation."
 
In the officials' view, tickets purchased through any vehicle other than the official FIFA Web site were illicit sales. FIFA and the local organizing committee are betting they can maintain control on unauthorized sales through radio frequency chip technology. The microchips, with tiny antennas, were developed by Philips, the Dutch consumer electronics maker, which has paid more than €30 million to be one of the 15 World Cup sponsors.
 
This is the chip's first appearance in a major global sports event, although it already is in use in Real Madrid's stadium in Spain and in sports venues in Atlanta and Philadelphia.
 
To enter through stadium turnstiles at all World Cup games, visitors will have to pass their tickets over electronic readers that check the validity.
 
The chips, according to Alexander Tarzi, a spokesman for Philips, do not contain personal information but rather an identity code linked to a database of information supplied by original ticket holders. Security staff can match passport numbers and names supplied by the original purchaser with the fan at the gate.
 
In theory, it provides a check, but in practice, with massive numbers of people moving into the stadiums, black market ticket sellers are offering different advice. "It's very unlikely they will check," said one eBay seller in the United States who was offering two tickets for Paraguay vs. Sweden. "Half the stadium would have to be empty, and they definitely wouldn't want that. So I wouldn't worry."
 
The trove of information linked electronically to the tickets has upset privacy advocates, who question why buyers were asked to supply their birth dates, e-mail address, passport number and bank account numbers.
 
"This is just a way to establish technology in Germany by imposing it on millions of football fans who are so eager to get a ticket that they would accept anything," said Rena Tangens, a spokeswoman for Foebud, a privacy rights group based in Biefeld, Germany.
 
"They ask your mobile phone number, your nationality and even what team you support, and we think that this is pretty dangerous in a country like Germany that has been big on nationalism in the past."
 
Thilo Weichert, a public official with the Independent Center for Data Protection in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein, said he suspected that the real importance of the data was to gather marketing information.
 
"They want the names to sell to the sponsors," he said. "In the small print of contract conditions, there are indications they want this information. And they want it not only from the ticket holders but the ones who applied for tickets and didn't get anything."
 
Asked if World Cup sponsors could mine the information, Stephan Eiermann of the local organizing committee in Frankfurt offered a qualified answer.
 
"Generally, it is not planned to pass on any stored information," he said. But he added: "Upon placing their ticket order, each applicant had to explicitly consent to their data being passed on to third parties. If the applicant hasn't ticked the respective box in the form, their data will definitely not be used for any other purpose."
 
Philips hopes to introduce its chip technology at other global sport events, like the Olympics.
 
And some experts on sponsorships consider ticketing, with its trove of customer information, a new area for exploitation by companies paying huge amounts for partnership rights.
 
"This is, after all," said Nigel Currie, chairman of the European Sponsorship Association, in London, "the biggest branding event in the world."

« on: May 07, 2006, 07:02:09 PM »

just to rough up the love-fest here a lil bit, I don't think that merely putting crap T&T sides on tv will inspire youth to anything. If you want to compare yourself to the best, then you have to measure against the best, and that is why men does end up in europe.

As for biggin up the locals, well, that is a subjective thing eh. T&T culture is about flash, not substance. And so more men will be fans of Zidane, than of Makalele. But it doesn't end there, the culture admires Zidane's skills, but neglects to also include the fact that the skills aren't used just to make the crowd jump up, but to further the purpose of the team. Creating a less-selfish, less star-struck culture is a whole different kettle of fish than whether we can produce a football system that can consitently compete at top levels.

i think is an indirect free in the area for having an extra player on the field.
in any case, the Cow was just covering back for the keeper. Cow didn't just show up, the cow was running back hard. if the other men on the field was working half as hard as the cow, then it wouldn't have been a goal atalll.

Seriously, i think that can't be a goal. The Cow becomes part of the field I think, like the referee. The ref should stop the game, eject(remove) the cow and then restart with a drop-ball.

But that is just a guess. I doh really know.

Football / Re: The price of patriotism

« on: April 30, 2006, 10:26:17 PM »

In Britain, for instance, supporters will pay TT$280 (£25) to watch England play Jamaica in May, while German friendlies against other nations who, unlike Peru, will actually play in the 2006 World Cup range between TT$115 (15 Euros) and TT$458 (60 Euros).

The average salary in Germany, mind you, is TT$15,910 or 2,083 Euros per month as opposed to TT$3,500 or 458 Euros per month in Trinidad and Tobago.
 

I almost can't believe this one. German fans paying so little to watch their National team before the WC pay 15 euros.Now obviously Liburd chose to focus on the price of the  least attractive seats but in any case that is chicken feed for a German. You would think any game Germany would play at home will attract huge demand and thereby increase the market price. I suppose the German FA and the TTFF have different goals.

For one thing, Germay have bigger stadia so they can spread the cost over more seats. Also, I also think that for a team like Germany or England who have serious aspirations to the cup, a practice match before the big dance isn't exactly an event.

Lastly, I don't think Liburd focussed on the price of the least attractive seats, he gave the range that the ticket prices cover.

Men need to stop looking at Lara's records and realize that a captain leads by example. 
What he did by breaking records is all good, but how can you expect to lead a team when you:

1. Always arrive late to camps
2. Play when you want to play
3. Accept this role knowing you will retire within the next year-and-a-half.

But again, it's Lara.
Doh geh meh wrong, ah love the man, and I'm a fan, but he had his time as captain back then.  Time for new blood and let Lara concentrate on batting.

Amen!
I admire the man skills too eh, but he already prove to be bad example to the younger players. I woulda go further and tll him retire, he doing more harm than good.

He come like when yuh sweating and it have a starboy on the team, so now everybody does pass to the starboy and see what magic he could come up with. After a while the other team does just shut down the starboy and the rest of allyuh now have no plan b to win the game.


Say what, the man is captain again. Now all i could do it back the man and hope the windies win. This come like all them support the troops yankees, who vex they in Iraq, but have to at least hope they win..
