So since Big Mag is really Merlin and the ole talk and speculation has begun, lets see who guesses right as to the new head coach, warner has said we have had wim,pacho and beenhakker, whos next? Now that we have a new asst, who will have a different team selection than our previous asst who didnt know what he was doing that is a sigh of relief.

Big Mag you could save us alot of typing and just give we the name and let we discuss it.

let him go ahead, we have locals with more talent than maund anyways, we only need players who fully committed to the national team, trinidad have to much talent, all these players cant make the senior team, our talent pool are far too big right now, every year we producing talent and these guys who playing for the US are not latas or yorke. Plus that team was selected by corneal and it wasnt our best team, when a guy like latas take over, you will see far better team selections

Football / Will Darryl Roberts Play again for T&T?

« on: December 14, 2008, 12:59:20 PM »

Or will darryl be reserved to turkish football, i guess only strikers in the english leagues can make and start for T&T, it shows the narrow minded thinking of corneal and co. From what i've seen of darryl he doesnt suit the epl style, he suits a better style of play, la liga, serie a, bundesliga maybe, but so to does kenwyne but i doubt 90% of the posters on here would see that because they have epl tatooed across their heart

Contoversial,
                     Are those players you mentioned defenders? We lacking in the wing back positions, and Akile is a very good prospect at left wing back. He needs lots of work, off course. All them players needs lots of work. Their first touch and distribution needs plenty work.

pacheco and williams first touch is much better than akile's, their ball control and ability to pass in transition is also better, corneal has no idea about talent, he simply selects on personal bias and his favorites, you can't select a team based on curry favour, corneal is the x factor in the selection of the team, if hes out of the picture and latas is in, there will be no selection based on bias, just simply talent and skill.

Controversial and others,
                                    I know how all yuh think about Anton and he father. But to say that Akile is shithong is crazy. He and Daniel from Tobago are two good prospects out of the whole bunch of players on display. Is he great! No. If he gets good coaching he would be great. I hope they get out of TT soon.

edwards is a shithong compared to nigel daniel, pachecho and noel williams who are all better options

The difference between the two is quit simple, latas knows talent when he sees it and will know how to pick a squad and what reccomendations to make, some posters on the board wont be pleased with latas picks however, especially what players he spoke on his last visit in trinidad. Corneal on the other hand is vex because he knows he too damn bias and latas isnt when coming to selection, corneal also knows that his picks like akile edwards and the other hounds chosen by himself wont see the light of day because latas not picking a hound.

how much pro-league games lates see??? more than corneal??  latas is also ah scout fuh falkirk??

latas recommended Rahim and Theobald to Falkirk.  Nuff said

Latas (and Yorke) will have their ears pointed at the top local coaches getting all the recommendations of which pro league players can add to the pressume 2006 squad that we know Latas will bring back.  Whereas Corneal is thought to see for himself, and with his last name authority, think he can pick who ever he want without other respected local coaches  recommendations..

finally a poster whos using his intelligence and logic to reason whats going on, people fail to realize latas not on the lil boy movements like corneal

How do you know that?

its easy, latas has identified the talented players before and asked where they were and what they were doing and why they werent on the national team, all the players he has spoke to and inquired about, former national coaches praise and know their talent, for example, wim stated that theobald played a high level of football and needed to be in europe to further develop his talent, guess who saw that talent first, not latas?

all the pro league games corneal see, what squad was picked for the digicel? a 2nd rate one, that should answer your question, no matter what corneal sees, he will still make a bias selection, latas will select on talent, rahim was talented but it takes more than that, rahim never followed through, lets hope theobald will, he still has time and age on his side.

Football / Lisana Liburd Pays Tribute to the Pro Leagues Top Performers

« on: December 03, 2008, 11:55:25 PM »

Star struck!

Lasana Liburd pays tribute to the Pro League's top performers.

The Pro League season is not properly over without a contentious list of the players who thrilled supporters, kept coaches in their jobs and had reporters searching for superlatives.

Clico San Juan Jabloteh captain Trent Noel comes out on top for me as the brain and engine of his club as they successfully defended their Pro League title and captured the Lucozade Big Six crown.

Sadly, Noel is so poorly regarded in terms of the international set up that, if he tried to buy a replica "Soca Warriors" jersey, Francis Fashion would probably refuse to sell him one.

Devon Jorsling is next with 21 goals from 27 league matches for Defence Force-the best tally in the 2008 Pro League.

He scored three times from just one international start and three substitute appearances too.

It was not enough to earn him a place on Trinidad and Tobago's Digicel Caribbean Cup team but he certainly has the respect of Bmobile Joe Public, St Ann's Rangers, Tobago United, United Petrotrin, Ma Pau, Neal & Massy Caledonia AIA, Jabloteh, W Connection and Economy North East Stars.

Yes, he scored against all nine rival Pro League clubs this season.

Joe Public's Kerry Baptiste is third. Whether it is whipping pinpoint crosses from the right flank or tucking away half chances upfront-he finished with 19 league goals-Baptiste has been a consistent performer for Public.

Like Noel and Jorsling, Baptiste is routinely overlooked by Trinidad and Tobago coach Francisco Maturana, which might say something about the acumen-or lack of it-of the writer.

But here goes the rest of my all star line-up anyway.

W Connection's Marvin Phillip gets the nod in goal for just being able to stay on his feet, let alone make crucial saves, after a tiring season for club and country.

He was more consistent than Public's Alejandro Figueroa and shades Jabloteh's Cleon John.

Phillip's steady Colombian teammate Eder Gilmar Aras is the automatic pick in central defence after a brilliant debut season that helped Connection finish as the stingiest defensive unit.

Jabloteh's athletic and versatile Noel Williams and W Connection's Nickcolson Thomas nail down the left and right back slots while United Petrotrin's Kareem Smith gets the remaining defensive position purely for keeping his head up and opposing forwards out despite such a disorienting season for club and country.

Connection's versatile left back Andrei Pacheco, Jabloteh's teenaged stopper Robert Primus, hulking Joe Public defender Keyeno Thomas and aggressive North East Stars marker Keryn Navarro get honourable mention.

There are just two midfield posts available alongside Noel and Baptiste.

Petrotrin's Keon Daniel did not play enough, while Economy North East Stars Sylvester Teesdale was steady but rarely spectacular.

So, Neal & Massy Caledonia AIA's Walter Moore gets the left flank assignment for his accurate crosses and crucial goals.

Who knows what the Guyanese wing back could achieve if his legs do not turn to jelly whenever an opposing defender looks his way.

Public captain Dale Saunders, St Ann's Rangers' playmaker Ricky Charles and Stars' leader Anthony Wolfe made good cases but, for me, Marvin Oliver gets the last slot for his storming end to the season.

Oliver looked like a puppy at the end of a short leash for the first half of the season and the adventure so evident during his Caledonia tenure was badly missed.

But he deserves credit for adjusting to an orthodox midfield role without losing his knack for crucial goals or a tidy pass.

Jabloteh coach Terry Fenwick singled out the mid-season signing of Jerol Forbes as crucial to their Pro League success and Forbes' ten goals from 15 league outings since his move from United Petrotrin offers no room for argument.

Forbes' pace, strength and fierce strikes on the run win him a place alongside Jorsling.

But Public's Gregory Richardson deserves special mention for his superb showings in the CONCACAF Champions League.

He scored five times in the showcase competition but managed just three

league goals from his final tally of 12 items in all competitions.

Credit too to Rangers' composer frontman, Josimar Belgrave, who could probably find the back of the net blindfolded. Belgrave got 15 league goals but missed much of the last month with a groin injury that surely contributed to Rangers' failure to land a Big Six place.

And we will keep an eye out for United Petrotrin's striker Kevon Woodley who was in sizzling form towards the death.

Of course, so will other clubs as Petrotrin seem to be hemorrhaging players at the moment.

Who says football is just about goals and trophies though?

So here is a "thank you" to my favourite artists this season.

Figueroa looks so cool between the uprights that he probably sweats ice cream.

He beats out the talkative Defence Force custodian Selwyn George for my idea of a good time in gloves.

What took you so long Sheldon Emmanuel?

Emmanuel seemed unwilling to leave St Lucia for Caledonia this season and only got here in time for the final round.

The left sided defender has the heart of Marvin Andrews, the lungs of Cyd Gray and even chips in the odd set piece. It would probably be worth turning up just to see him tackle a bake and shark.

Something would be amiss if one spoke of tackling and did not mention Rangers' hardman Joseph "Gouti" Peters.

Maybe it is pre-ordained that Rangers are based in St Ann's as their utility player often looks ready to succumb to football's answer to "road rage".

Buttocks clench when "Gouti" goes into a tackle but his seven league goals testify to the fact that he can play too.

Fresh faced Ma Pau FC midfielder Sherron Joseph can outshine a van full of Brazilians when he is running at opponents. Need I say more?

Arnold Dwarika contributed just three goals for Joe Public this season, which matches the output of their solid but uncultured Jamaican central defender Christopher Harvey.

It will not get him near my "high performance" squad but, when it comes to entertainment, one Dwarika drag equals two dozen Hayden Tinto step overs.

Jabloteh are renowned for their physical, aggressive approach so it is fitting that they produced a swashbuckling, dribbling winger who is deceptively strong and impossible to kick out of a game. His name is Jason Marcano. Just pass him the ball and reach for a bag of popcorn.

And, further upfront, if Tobago United's Guyanese employee Collie Hercules had dreadlocks, was a few inches taller and had a Trinidad and Tobago passport, he would be W Connection attacker Andre Toussaint.

Okay, so Toussaint and Hercules look nothing alik e but the similarities in the way they caress the ball, dance around tackles, pick out runners and disdainfully ignore opposing defenders is uncanny.

Tobago managed a paltry 12 points from 27 games but Hercules, who contributed 11 of their 25 league goals this year, made sure that you never regretted turning up to watch them play. See you guys next year.

My All Stars:

Marvin Phillip (W. Connection), Nickcolson Thomas (W. Connection), Kareem Smith (Petrotrin), Eder Gilmar Aras (W. Connection), Noel Williams (Jabloteh), Kerry Baptiste (Joe Public), Trent Noel (Jabloteh), Marvin Oliver (Jabloteh), Walter Moore (Caledonia), Jerol Forbes (Jabloteh), Devon Jorsling (Defence Force).

My Entertainers:

Alejandro Figueroa (Joe Public), Joseph Peters (Rangers), Elijah Joseph (W. Connection), Sheldon Emmanuel (Caledonia), Michael Edwards (Defence Force), Arnold Dwarika (Joe Public), Sherron Joseph (Ma Pau), Kendall Velox (Caledonia), Jason Marcano (Jabloteh), Collie Hercules (Tobago), Andre Toussaint (W.
