Football / Re: Say What BSC is the best local national coach we ever had

« on: July 21, 2005, 05:49:34 AM »

U talking the truth brother. People seem to forget, is because of BSC hard line a lot of people did not like him. The guy is a disciplinarian and has a good track record. He is the best in T&T. I doh care wah anybody want to say bout him. I did not say he is the best ever, but he is the best we have besides any foreigner. People just don't realize how much of a positive impact he as contributed the game here in T&T.

So far he hasn't created much of his own oppertunities. But, he has shown very good finishing in front of goal. Boy, we need a finisher like that. I still don't understand why he hasn't been called.

Football / Re: Soccer (football) Attitudes

« on: July 20, 2005, 05:37:15 AM »

I have been in this country since 1995, and I have seen Football come a long way. The negative attitude towards football here in the US seems to mostly come for the older folks. But, when I look at the youths in the system and the soccer moms and dads, you can see a wave of change in that respect. It is more prevalent in the youths today I have to say. When you look around, you can see lots of football (soccer) fields and they filled with soccer camps. Look at the under 18 and the under 20 teams. They can compete with any European or South American teams today. I don't think that America has anything to worry about in its football future. The bottom line is they have the facilities, the money and a vast number of youth interested in the games. If anything, the other sports have to worry. Football is very contagious. What I am worried about is the state of football in Trinidad it burn me to see the US cutting me heart. All them youth these days looking to steal and shoot people. That is sickening. Gone are the days when de stands were filled to capacity with football fans. The only hope for the youths and interest in the game is for the government to inject some real finance into the sports and the parents taking initiative and have there kids involved in sports from early, even attending there games. That will do some real good. The last time Trinidad could really compete against the US, was in 1989 world cup qualifiers. It break my heart to see how them fellas playing now. No passion and a lack of the basic skills (passing and trapping). But anyway, I in Hartford. Ah wearing red and ah holding my head up high no matter the outcome.

Yo! I went to New York Institute of Technology in Long Island, NY. They have a top program out there. I am good friends with the head coach there. If you are a good player I can give him a call and arrange a training session at the beginning of the season. I wished you had said this earlier when he just started recruiting. He is always asking for players from the Islands. I already got a few local players up there. The school is division II, don't let that fool you. It is very competitive some of the schools there have defeated top division I schools. Because Division I have age limits most of the older more experience players compete in Division II.

Football / Re: Tobago Posters and Pro league followers a serious question

« on: June 22, 2005, 10:03:45 AM »

Touches,

It all boils down to finance, as I said before, no body in Tobago is going to play for any Tobago outfit that can't pay them enough money so that they can quit there day job. Stokely vale, Phoenix and Coaching School have good players, but these guys only play or train in the afternoon and they have their jobs to go to during the day.

The reason why Tobago utd taking so much lix, is simply because they don't have a big pool of players to choose from. My honest feeling is that they should just include players that don't live on the island, and offer them attractive salary or even loan players from other clubs.

fellas, I am from Bago but have been living in the US for some years now. One thing I know for a fact is that BSC Coaching school is serious football and them fellas real dedicated. They not leaving for shi!@#$%t. One thing that I have heard is that those guys on Tobago United don't get paid anything to talk about. When I played in Tobago was for the love of the game and after that was work in the morning. That was my real bread and butter. They need to somehow get more money for these players to make it worth leaving Coaching school or any other club. There are other clubs on the Island like Phoenix, Stokely Vale, etc that have a world of talented players and them not going to leave for that crap. Being a professional player means that you have to commit to it entirely and not having to worry about other existing jobs. Another thing, a lot of the Bago players do apply there trade in Trinidad or Colleges in the US. These are the younger ones.

Here is another scenario, the pull that BSC have in the US college soccer system is immense and the young players know they have to be on his good side. For those who doh know wah me ah talk bout. Ah talking about athletic scholarships.

The bottom line is, If some business men really want to contribute some serious cash I am sure u will see a better squad coming out ah Bago. I have seen the Talent.

Thank you flex.

Been following the team from day one.

How did you find us.
Yahoo search

- Your location now and T&T.
Connecticut, US via Tobago(ah geh meh ticket aready)

- Why did you choose that handle (name).
is the name of my basket ball team in Bago

- How long have you been following the Warriors football team.
When they were called the strike squad(1989)

- Best memory as a Warriors supporter to date.
I would have to say the Road to Italy. My club team went to every game in the stadium in 89 and we would fet in the night before the gae in Trini.

- What T&T school did you attend.
Elizabeth's College in Tobago. York and Culvin Hutchinson use to kill us. He was very good midfielder. Also graduated New York Institute of Technology.

- Favorite player (T&T and Global).
York and globaly Ronaldinho

- Favorite country and club team.
Besides Trinidad I would have to say Brazil and club team Arsnal

- Pick your best world & T&T eleven.
have to get back to u with that

- Care to give someone or a player a shout-out.
York, I remember when u use to play for signalhill. use to put man on they back. I even when u use to play for Astonvilla reserve and senior team. I know the system u play in then required that u do less dribbling. Is time u take on defenders. Put fare in they eyes man. U too talented for just tapping all the time.

- Are you a current or former player ? if so what team.
I no longer play. Don't have the time work and everything. I played for Elizabeth's college in Tobago, Soul city in Tobago, had a short stint with St Clair's Coaching school before I left for the US, played in the North coast league in Cleveland with Samba Boys. This team had a bunch of players from the Islands including Marlon Maurrice from the strike squad. This guy was very talented. I must say the 1989 team had a world of tallent. My final team was New York Institute of Technology in Long Island NY.

- Feel free to be creative.
I will leave that to u guys for now

If we worrying about crowd support, what about having 4 major countries in the Caribbean host it? Like Trinidad, Jamaica Barbados and somebody else and let the final be held in Trinidad.

U know guys, I don't think everybody should be passing all the blame on BSC. For the past months I have been noticing how everybody wants to blame him. After all he is not the one that goes out on the field and play. I think confidence have a lot to do with how the team played. What I have seen happen, is that game after game the team gradually improved, except for one blemish.  Example, the team played much better in that Costa Rica game and should have won. Is a matter of determination, grit and luck. I remember guys were complaining about everything BSC did. Things like picking all these foreign base players and all  kind ah sh##$%t. Look at how we glorifying them now.
Let’s just move on from BSC and focus on what the team needs to do to continue its improvement.. After all, don't forget what BSC did for T&T in the Gold Cup and world youth cup.


I must say, Leo has more experience than BSC and a more clourful resume. I think that also played a part in the team’s belief
I must admit, it appears as though Leo has been able to have the players commit to his strategy and that is key and having the like of the new players at his disposal helps a lot. A lot of times it takes a foreign coach to have people listen

I have seen much improve play with out team since I last saw them play against the US and I can't wait to see them play here in Connecticut. I think they will surprise a lot of people. I bought my ticket from the first day. I want to see how they play up close.

May be other sites start telecasting at 7:00pm. Does not necessarily mean 7:00 is the start time. From what I have seen with Telemundo, it starts at 8:00pm Eastern time, which currently is T&T time.
