Football / The current political parties are the custodians for the former colonials...

« on: October 14, 2020, 10:53:13 PM »

People doubted me as usual and as usual end up eating crow ...

The narrow mindedness of our people is astounding. Lambasting and gnashing of teeth when someone says the government are sell outs and are on the side of fifa creates tension and anger for those who are brainwashed in and out of TT that vote and vote for the pnm or unc.

But this is all about the pnm right now and it’s history of selling out and destroying our nation. Rowley has shown where his allegiance lies, and that is not with the people and ttfa. Rowley is looking bad now, he’s saving face and wants to ensure to his superiors that the local revolutionaries are under control.

He has shown his true colours, of course the supporters will rush to this thread and defend him, I expect that from those who are less intelligent and blindly support those who oppress them...

FIFA issues World Cup warning to TTFA.
By Joel Bailey (Newsday).

FIFA has issued a World Cup warning to the TT Football Association (TTFA), with regards to its suspension of the local governing body on September 24.

FIFA suspended the TTFA two weeks ago for grave violation of FIFA Statutes. The former TTFA executive, led by William Wallace, missed the September 23 deadline to withdraw its legal challenge to FIFA, over FIFA’s decision to remove the TTFA hierarchy, over mounting debts, and install a normalisation committee, led by Robert Hadad.

FIFA secretary general Fatma Samoura issued a letter, via e-mail, to Hadad on Tuesday, stating that the 2022 FIFA World Cup Concacaf Zone Qualifiers are set to begin in March 2021.

“The organisation of such competition entails complex logistical and operational matters intensified by the covid19 crisis,” Samoura wrote. “In view of this, FIFA has decided that, in order to ensure that proper preparation and planning of the participant teams, if the suspension imposed on the TTFA is not lifted by 6 pm Central European Time (noon TT time) on December 18, we have no choice to exclude the TTFA from participating in the Concacaf World Cup qualifiers.”

If the suspension is not lifted by December 18, T&T will be replaced by Antigua/Barbuda at the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup qualifiers.

The normalisation committee “has necessarily ceased all operational and management functions over the TTFA” due to FIFA’s suspension of the TTFA membership.

But FIFA insisted “the only legitimate leadership of the TTFA, recognised by FIFA and Concacaf, is the one led by Hadad.”

Is ok. We good - at least 'I'.  Leff we out.  Maybe later when the world crisis is in order, allyuh crisis in order and we own internal crises fix, well at least a few of them.
Let these anxious coaches chill. All the past years coaches doing the job with what they had, practically volunteering, these guys all want they pound of flesh, oops, these days , protein and regulated diet. pardon me. To much issues right now to be cleared up at all levels from management and administration to performance, can't focus on positive competition under these circumstances. Shut it down.

It's all well well and good to be in touch with the world on the internet with computer, up to date with everything, but if there is no current, and T &Tec on a internal fight  or close down, we gotta retrain our ppl, rebuild our infrastructure and come again, more resilient than before. Best to be back to play, when it suites us.

Standing up for what though?

If Wallace win, what then, will he get a nobel prize? or money? Will it change anything?

If he win, the suspension will be lifted and every week Wallace will be begging the government for money to run football. There will be no games from women, youths and men, we go be force to pull out of international competitions and coaches will be begging for pay like hungry man Angus Eve who eh coach or play a team since January but begging for pay.

If Wallace lose, what then, will he get a nobel prize? or money? Will it change anything?

How many of his own people he will sink to prove a point?

How many black youths will get affected by this shit just to prove a point because nothing more will come out of this.

This win for Wallace will last as long as a next bacchanal.

You have men on here preaching about Malcolm X, MLK Jr., Padmore, CLR James, Dr. Williams, Bob Marley, Marcus Garvey etc etc

But when our local fed stands up against neo colonialism and institutional racism and sell outs locally, the majority come running to denounce, criticize and undermine the actions of the few who are not only innocent but have decided, “Enough”.

Fanon’s analysis on inferiority is at play here. The precedent being set here is historic, it also opens up fifa to uncharted territory. Meaning, others will follow, and could lead to some waking up finally that an alternative is needed.

Caribbean and African football is not progressing under fifa. Nor will it reach to the level of dominance it should be at.

So you can continue to beg for your master to take us back, but that is the product of a brainwashed and enslaved mentality that doesn’t know any better.

Some people have just become comfortable with slavery.
The wouldn't know what to do with freedom.
Hand-outs. getting yuh meals on time, well dais more than enough to secure loyalty to de oppressor
The strange thing is often people are enslaved because their oppressor is afraid of them. But they themselves don't even know their own worth.

Manipulation, divide and rule, and of course a version of the Stockholm syndrome which people fail to realize that the population is under...

It’s like when Rhodes went into what is now, modern day Zimbabwe .... ancestral African land for eons, became taxable... so now people think it’s normal, because the taxation authority are those who control the financial and monetary system and hence implement the system to control and keep you at bay to obey..

Fifa works for those who created it, it’s antiquated at best, the Caribbean and African nations and their feds are so brainwashed they believe they can’t create their own system and run it and those who think they can are erased..

Listen mate, the best war strategist and generals in the annals of history knew when to retreat, especially when their supply routes were cut off, even hitler learned this the hard way. you can’t continue to fight an enemy with hungry sick men in your ranks, there must be a time to retreat and a time to press on, but only when the circumstances is in your favor, or else it becomes a suicide mission.

as it stands fifa has them by the balls, and the more they move the tighter the grip becomes. it’s only a matter of time before fifa suspends the executive indefinitely, then what? these men signed up to help football in this country, and they could do more for football if they are involved in some capacity, rather than being banned indefinitely.

No mate you listen...

You were fooled by the dictator and had to swallow your words..

Don’t come with no house mentality here and spout about football this and that... TT is mainly sell outs, we produced some of the most brilliant revolutionary minds, now it’s a bunch of sell outs who love being controlled...

The precedent has been set, people are missing the point of this stand off, Trinidad and Tobago is the only football federation in the world to stand up to fifa and take them to local court.

It sets a dangerous precedent that fifa would rather not deal with, meaning it gives power back to the people, back to people of color.

If you’re mind is enslaved and brainwashed you will be angered. This is one of the best moments in TT football, where they actually said no more. We will govern ourselves and control our football, neo colonialism is what you are supporting if you are against Wallace and what they did.

Revolutions can start with one man or one nation. This shows that fifa is what they always were, colonials allowing you to play within their enslaved system of governance.

Football / Re: Greg Ranjitsingh Thread

« on: September 06, 2020, 01:38:57 PM »

Player Report: Greg Ranjitsingh
By Ashle Norling (SB Nation)

With Tyler Miller out for the season due to hip surgery Minnesota United needed to go with a different starting goalkeeper for the rest of 2020. Those two options were Greg Ranjitsingh, whom was signed after the 2019 MLS Waiver Draft, and the young Dayne St. Clair, who was recalled from San Antonio FC after Miller went out for the season.

For better or worse Ranjitsingh has gotten the call in each of the three matches the Loons have played so far since returning from Orlando. Last time when I broke down whether or not the Loons would be ok with Miller I broke down the hard numbers, so let’s take a look at that.

The Hard Numbers

First let’s compare Greg Ranjitsingh’s numbers to MNUFC’s last two starting goalkeepers, Vito Mannone and Tyler Miller. So to recap those stats:

In 2019 Mannone made a total of 133 saves on 181 shots across 37 matches (MLS Regular Season plus MLS Cup Playoffs) with a GAA of 1.285 and a SV% of 73.4%. During Miller’s 8 starts (First two MLS matches plus the entire MLS Is Back Tournament) he has given up 11 goals through 8 matches with a GAA of 1.375 on the season with 21 saves on 32 shots for a SV% of 65.6%. So in 2019 vs Miller’s 2020 the GAA is higher, SV% is lower, but the shots on target per match are lower. However in 2019 MNUFC allowed 1 goal for every 3.77 shots on target in 2020 with Miller in net that number is much lower at one goal for every 2.91 shots on target. While all the numbers can’t be put on the goalkeeper, it does show that the overall defensive capabilities of the team are down.

With Ranjitsingh in net it’s yet another story. Currently he has played 3 full matches for 270 minutes with 15 saves on 23 shots on target. With those stats it shows that Greg’s GAA is 2.67, which is much MUCH higher than both Miller and Mannone. His save percentage 65.2%, which while again lower than Vito’s, is actually very close to the Tyler Miller’s. So in that respect the SV% is not bad in comparison but still could be much better; as should Miller’s. Lastly we can also determine how many shots it takes for the opposition to score on average. Ranjitsingh’s number (which is more than slightly helped by his performance against Houston) is the opposition scoring 1 goal for every 2.875 shots. Again way down from Mannone but just slightly down from Miller in 2020.

As a disclaimer, SV% is not a massive indicator of ability or nearly as useful in soccer as it is in say hockey. Because of the large size of the net, wide variety in types of shots (which you’ll see later in the positioning), it can be considered largely un-useful. However I have included it here as it is one of the more basic analytical stats.

So to slightly tackle the xGA (Expected Goals Against) vs GA stat, which is a better indicator of saving ability. All three players have given up more than their xGA stat. With Vito giving up 1.49 more than expected in 2019, that was through 34 matches. Miller has given up 1.05 more while Ranjitsingh has given up 2.95 more than expected through just three games. On a per game basis Ranjitsingh is giving up an average of almost a full extra goal per match, which is, well not good. Those xGA stats are curtsey of American Soccer Analysis.

Distribution

With distribution we won’t compare it to either Vito or Tyler’s as they all play the ball differently. And while that inherently is not a bad thing it does change how MNUFC starts a counter attack up the field.

Above are the distribution charts from the three starts Greg Ranjitsingh has had this season. One key thing you can see from just a quick glance is he tends to take shorter passes. In fact according to fbref.com 75.7% of his passes (not including goal kicks) are under 40 yards, with his average pass length being 31.1 yards. Along with those stats are his completion percentage, which you can also see is much worse as the distance goes up. Football Reference has his completion % at 97.2% (35/36) for passes under 25 yards, while his completions of over 25 yards drops to 58.6% (34/58).

Now the good thing with that is Ranjitsingh has for the most part kept most of his kicks on the shorter end and the team has worked with that. As for example against FC Dallas he completed none of his longer passes and was 6/13 with passes over 25 yards. With MNUFC allowing Ranjitsingh to keep his range fairly close they’ve contributed to an overall pass completion of 73.4%.

Positioning

Lastly lets look at his positioning. There’s three plays here, two goals and one save. One good, one ok, and one that just looks bad to ugly. Then we’ll also look at the own goal from Sporting Kansas City.

First is Greg’s first save against Sporting KC. The ball starts in the middle of the pitch with Ranjitsingh squared up to the SKC player while near the top of the six. The ball is sent to the right side to Roger Espinoza but Ranjitsingh drops back closer to the goal, staying near the center but also has his body weight shifted towards the near post slightly. Espinoza sends a bouncing cross to the left and now Greg comes towards the top of the six and shifts to cover the near post on his right side. The ball is then bounced to Alan Pulido, who has a clear line of sight towards the goal with no defenders in front of him. Pulido takes the open shot, but in that time that he gathered the ball Ranjitsingh took just one or two steps to the side putting him in perfect position to stop the shot. Not an exciting save but he makes a good one that he should have there.

Now let’s take a look at the goal allowed by Minnesota just before this save. The play starts from the back of the field, in the middle third but behind the midfield line. So we’ll start covering it when the GK gets into view. Once Greg gets into view it’s fairly hard to check his earlier positioning. But we can also see that based on his save attempt he was lined up to face a shot from Roger Espinoza, who was running in for the attempt. What ended up happening is Gadi Kinda’s through ball bounced past Espinoza and into the open left hand side of the net. Due to the nature of the play, making a save and good positioning was a choice between covering Espinoza’s run or Kinda’s through ball. Once Ranjitsingh was committed to one the other would be nearly impossible to cover due to the vastly different angles.

After the match Adrian Heath probably said it best about the goal:

“It’s one of them that you always talk about when you’re putting it in, swinging in, make sure that they stay in between the post, because that, that can happen. That’s one of them things when people look as though they’re gonna go for the ball and nobody touches it and it ends up bobbling in on the back post. I’ll have to have another look at it. It looked soft from our position on the bench. I don’t think we had enough pressure on the ball. I’ll have to have another look at it.”

Against FC Dallas last Saturday night, Minnesota allowed two goals early in the first half and a late one in stoppage time from the spot. We’ll take a look at FC Dallas’ second goal first. Fabrice-Jean Picault starts the play with the ball on the nearside. The distance is far enough out that Ranjitsingh is in a good position, near the middle of the six, with weight distribution roughly even. This allows him to easily shuffle back and then to the right after Picault sends the cross into the box.

At this point things start to fall apart, Ricardo Pepi has the ball near the far side of the 18 yard box and Ranjitsingh covers the nearside post. The problem with this since he’s covering the nearside post it leaves most of the goal open. Due to Pepi’s angle the ball would more than likely go either narrow and miss the goal or wider than Ranjitsingh’s coverage area and into the goal. Pepi instead sends the ball in towards the middle to Jesús Ferreira. Ferreira then takes a few steps on a dribble drawing Ranjitsingh towards him leaving most of the net unable to be protected. Because of the poor positioning Jesús Ferreira is easily able to beat him wide from the top of the six and score.

Lastly let’s look at the own goal MNUFC allowed/caused back against Sporting Kansas City and see where Greg was on that play. The play started with a bad pass from Kevin Molino being intercepted by Gadi Kinda. Kinda then broke out into the open before covered by two defenders, when that happened he sent a pass to his left to Johnny Russell. At this point Greg Ranjitsingh starts to square up with Russell, covering the goal and the most obvious point of attack. Russell then takes the ball and dribbles in towards the goal rather than taking an immediate shot, and as Russell approaches the end line Ranjitsingh stays with him covering the near post.

The MNUFC defenders are making sure to stay near each of SKC’s three attackers to keep them covered. Russell is now in deep enough his options are a poor shot from a narrow angle, with not a great chance to score or to send a cross. At this point if Russell sends the cross its up to Michael Boxall to prevent the goal. Russell does exactly that and Boxall does get his foot on the cross, but inadvertently puts it in his own net. For a play starting with a bad pass and wide open breakaway, Ranjitsingh actually did very well for what he needed too and could do.

Conclusions

At the end of the day Greg Ranjitsingh is not a bad goalkeeper. And yes I am saying this for a guy who’s given up 8 goals in three games. But a lot of that is down to the defense, and Adrian Heath has said as much.

“It’s always difficult for a keeper, even when you’re conceding goals. You know, maybe there’s a couple out of the eight, maybe Greg [Ranjitsingh] would have thought he could do better with. But, trust me, when people are having free shots from 7, 8-yards out, invariably, you can’t keep blaming the goalkeeper.”

Greg has done what he can to step into the role of a starter for Minnesota United. He’s stepping into a role that MNUFC has the 2019 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year in. It’s not an easy task and for a guy who has known he’s the backup it can’t be easy either.

“I think the mindset that I go in with, although obviously I know Tyler [Miller] is number one and I’m the backup, but I think I train everyday like I’m the number one. I push Tyler. I think Tyler also knows that all the goalkeepers in this union, especially me, we all want to play and I think that’s good – it’s a healthy competition, it pushes all of us. And obviously I knew for a while now that Tyler was thinking about getting the surgery, and that I would have to step up and fill that role. So, you know, I’ve been preparing for a long time and I’ve been training well. I know that my teammates and staff have full confidence in me and that gives me a lot of confidence moving forward in myself. I felt like I was ready for it and looking to build off it.”

Greg Ranjitsingh is a decent solid goalkeeper, and is an ok replacement for Tyler Miller at this time. Dayne St. Clair isn’t ready to be an MLS starter and Fred Emmings is too young. And while I don’t see Greg as a long term starter, he’s filling a role we absolutely need a solid player in. Now if only he could get some help defensively and that the offense could start producing; we may see a solid threatening MNUFC squad again.

Sounds like she’s making excuses for their poor defense and defenders... while throwing Greg under the bus for it, hoping the TT national team doesn’t call him up... she also could have a favorite keeper over greg bc he is  non white

“ d, the govt will not help football ...”

Try to think this through. List the consequences even if remotely possible.
Then list the things government Can do to help football given the circumstance of a FIFA suspension.i.e. your ideas. Please consider all other governmental issues, agencies and purposes.

Remember we have stadiums , a Home of football, many community fields and a lot of world issues.

The govt can help rebuild football by investing a larger part of the budget for sports to the ttfa during the suspension.. meaning giving the money to ttfa under Wallace ... but they won’t do that bc they support Hadad ...

Now once the covid restrictions lift, TT football can actually start on the right track so once the suspension is over, they will have started the rebuild with programs, etc they could also assist in revamping the pro league and get that right on track as people are out of work...

At least the sporting community can survive with Wallace at the helm, Hadad won’t do a damn thing without fifa ...

Football / Re: FIFA appoints normalisation committee for Trinidad and Tobago football

« on: August 31, 2020, 12:44:38 AM »

Former T&TFA member sees petition as waste of time.
By Walter Alibey (Guardian).

"Don't waste your time," a former member of the William Wallace-led Board of Directors of the T&T Football Association who wished to remain anonymous said with regards to the Petition efforts by the membership of the TTFA, in its attempts to stop the United T&TFA from taking court action against the sport's governing body FIFA.

On Wednesday the members of the sport launched a campaign to signed petition to go to the court to stop former president William Wallace and his three vice presidents Clynt Taylor, Susan Joseph-Warrick and Joseph Sam Phillip, from pursuing legal action against FIFA appointed normalisation committee to manage the T&TFA.

The former board member pointed to reasons why the general membership, which Guardian Media Sports reported yesterday had acquired more than 51-percent of signatures needed so far, could be wasting their time.

The Board member told Guardian Media Sports yesterday that, the membership action is an unconstitutional act and it is practically impossible to take a matter out of the court unless it is done so by the people who are taking legal action themselves.

The former board member said, "It is not legally possible for the membership to get the matter removed from the court and the court knows this. Any information coming out about the case is sub judice."

The former board member pointed to the desperation of the membership and explained that the appointment of a normalisation committee meant there is no Board of Directors of the TTFA and certainly there's no TTFA, so the action of Wallace and his vice presidents Taylor, Joseph-Warrick and Phillip, was done by them as individuals, and not on behalf of the embattled football association.

"Those executive officers used their own money to go to court, they didn't use funds from the TTFA accounts. Also, the constitution gives power to the membership to remove a president but it must be done within 60 days and that has already passed, so it cannot happen. The removal of a president, in this case, requires a more than 60 per cent of the majority of members for the general secretary to convene a special meeting, but even if that is achieved it will not affect the court battle", the Board Director explained.

On Wednesday, the membership launched their campaign and with the support of Minister of Sports and Community Development Shamfa Cudjoe following a meeting she had with the stakeholders of the sport on Thursday, they began soliciting signatures via the petition to try and convince the High Court that the action of the four United TTFA members (Wallace and his vice presidents Taylor, Joseph-Warrick and Phillip) which FIFA removed from office on March 17, for what it claimed was due to the new executive poor planning and financial handling of the local body affairs, does not represent the membership of the TTFA.

On August 13, High Court Judge Justice Carol Gobin ruled in favour of the United TTFA to have their challenge of FIFA decision to remove them from office to be heard in the T&T High court, as opposed to the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) in Lausanne, Switzerland according to the FIFA's statutes, which is spelt out as the channels for aggrieved Member Associations to settle disputes. FIFA has since filed an appeal on August 20.

On August 26, FIFA’s secretary-general Fatma Samoura wrote Robert Hadad, the chairman of the Normalisation Committee warning the United TTFA that if they did not comply with the FIFA Statutes, and accept the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) as the jurisdiction for settling the dispute between the parties, then the country faces sanctions.

Samoura also gave the United TTFA executive a deadline date of September 16, to take its matter out of the T&T High Court in Port-of-Spain.

PNM and the govt are a bunch of sell outs, so the MOS is now supporting all the the people in massas house locally now...

They want to ensure they get that bribe and hush money and have no qualms with TT football being in the gutter, as long as they eat ah food..

That ban can’t come fast enough...

You notice that fifa could have issued this warning before they lost Andy it went trial in TT.. they hoped they would have won, so now that they have lost, they are threatening Wallace bc they know CAS is no time neutral and they don’t want rebellion and resistance, they want you to bow..

This also sets up resistance from other federations which could backfire on them.. Wallace needs to stand firm

We now know who they are

They have come forward in numbers to support fifa.

So I hope people pay attention and also don’t talk rubbish afterwards

It’s clear as day who is really against TT rising as a footballing power in the region

Furthermore, it also shows how brainwashed the majority of our people are, you see it in the elections and you see it now...

Dependency instead of selfish sufficiency

Apart from the elections rubbish, for once we agree. FIFA has made a clear grab at power and control

Elections rubbish? Pnm and unc both sold out long time, who do you think has the dictator back? Where do you think Hadad pop up from?

Football is all politics my friend, start realizing the enemy hiding in plain sight or else you will always be fooled

Here’s where you lose me every time. why is it that whenever we establish a little flow you make a habit of muking it up by going off the deep end with some absurd theory, instead of staying in the middle of the road by keeping sane?

mate the government don’t have time for fifa and their nonsense, in fact there’s nothing in it for the government to involve themselves with this organization, and there’s nothing in it for fifa either, why can’t you get it in your head that there’s no conspiracy, just fifa trying to control the confederations that they could, that is if you let them.

SO the MOS Shamfa has basically indirectly supported fifa ... threatening that if Wallace doesn’t drop the case and if TT gets banned, the govt will not help football ...

So when you say the govt is not in bed with fifa, what more do you need convincing about?

Brother it’s more than meets the eye, then govt is indeed intertwined into this but keeps itself well hidden from the line of fire but it operates behind the scenes... it’s always been there and the players involved tells us a lot about the puppeteers

Does anyone recall the reason(s) stated by FIFA for appointing a Normalization Committee?

In trying to fully/better understand the situation, I have searching but not been successful in finding any communication that speaks of the reason(s).

Financial insolvency was there reason but that was present during the reign of the dictator...

After 3 months in office, it was determined by fifa that Wallace had more than enough time to turn the tide, which was all inherited debt from the Dictator... upon investigation, fifa intervened bc their corruption would have been exposed.. hence triggering the NC to remove Wallace and team and further sabotage our football... bc even if infantino was brought forward he would be excused and get a slap on the wrist, but the mere scandal and TT being allowed free reign is a threat to the hegemony within the region

Slapped back by Justice Gobin, FIFA's tactic is now fearmongering. Where are the people and their Nelson Mandela backbone? 

All this pressure on Wallace but not a sound during the reign of King David? 

Steups.

Do you know another group of people in the world who are so quick to accept this kinda thing from anyone else?
FIFA don't even have to try too hard. Let their own people condemn their own right to govern their affairs.
Shameful is too weak a concept to describe our people's attitude towards this unjust takeover. "Self-hate! Lack of belief in one's self while believing in others!" The abuser never just "shakes out of it" later and changes his ways, yuh know! This will continue in perpetuity. And they are empowered by the chorus of voices agreeing with their corrupt ways.

I’m happy people are finally seeing what I saw all this time with the local population and the majority of the footballing community.

They only talk about massa day done and all this other garbage but are happy to be ruled, hence the elections and continual support of a two party system that divides..

Hence the bowing to fifa and not having the belly to deal with neo colonialism and undermining.

TT is truly gone through, how can you lead a revolution when the majority of TT don’t support each other, who believe anything foreign is better... its a fight down bc they are weak and brainwashed ...

Wallace needs to stand his ground, it’s time TT football face a ban and learn to stand up for what’s right, they have it too easy, time for the struggle and reality of who controls and how to gain self control and self rule...

The players are also sell outs, if they don’t push against this tyranny

Just as I have been saying all along

Fifa is saying, if we can’t buy you and control you and you don’t sell out, you don’t play

That’s enslavement and corruption at the highest level

We will remove an elected team that aren’t sell outs and we can’t control, they need sell  :beermug:outs bc TT is a threat and always has been..

People speak about institutional racism, which brother Carmichael coined but do they understand it while it’s happening right in front of them

Cosign Bredda. Loud and clear.
