Football / Re: Caledonia's dreadlocked genius confuses Wim.
« on: October 04, 2007, 08:42:03 PM »Marvin needs to groom his dreads...everybody knows this is why the elders (TTFA) is not recognizing his talents. Why are you so called Marvin wagonist afraid to say this to him
Look at any international players/athletes with similar hairstyles, they are maintained. If he does this and continues playing at an above average level then he would be called..for sure..if not by the national team then by some other foreign pro- team.
You have a good point there boss....I am ignorant about this topic. Is there specific legislation or written code covering grooming standards at international games than Oliver would be in contravention of, such as length of hair. Or is it an unwritten nudge-nudge, wink-wink kinda thing? Can it be cited as an specific encumberance to the opposing team or is an arbitrary preference?
Its too bad neither TTFF, the coach, Oliver, Caledonia or anyone has made this public that it was a mans appearance that kept him off the team. If he is rasta is it possible then the TTFF/coach could be actually discriminating against him based on his spiritual convictions?
That is the problem with arbitrary preferences, assuming this is arbitrary, is that they can come back and bite you in the ass. Local coaches can tell him to cut his hair. But If I were a European coach in a Caribbean nation my better judgement or my advisors might tell me that instead of telling a rasta to cut his hair, use age as an excuse so as to navigate around that hornets nest....he need to talk with Ian Clauzel. Anyway good points you raise? Can anyone with knowledge or background in sports management offer an opinion on this.

Football / Re: [U-23] Final Team Prepares for Olympic Qualifier vs Cuba
« on: October 04, 2007, 07:39:25 PM »
Dey eh pick Richard Roy? One of the best strikers in T&T! Dey gone mad or what. Elton John is a talented player no doubt but....is the youngest and least seasoned of all the Jab players. I feel McComie will just bench him. Maybe they plan to use Hyland and them for the national team tryouts 
.
McComie moving more and more like a young Jack everyday. He need to show some spine and rely on coaching skills not connections to achieve success. He will get used up and excreted by the powers that be for their own ends if he is not careful. I hope he prove everybody wrong because he will have lost a lot of respect if we don't make it past Cuba.

Football / Re: Lincoln Phillips Interview
« on: October 04, 2007, 07:23:18 PM »I would love to see Jack completely out of our football and Lincoln as president of the TTFF. We would reach so far in a short period of time there would be little to complain about.
Quote
Not unless we win a world cup against England, with Sancho breaking Crouch legs and latas score the winning goal. Even then the Manchester mafia on this site go grudge them 
Seriously, even though LP light years ahead of Jack and Co. the man is not perfect and if we expect him to cure our all ills we will just end up castigating him when he makes mistakes. Plus the changes he is putting into place are structural. They require time to bear fruit. Look the man say it will take 7 years to make a dent. He is doing things that appear mundane to the average fan who wants to see T&T winning NOW. I feel right now LP is where he should be, away from the spotlight executing strategy that will see results in the long term. Realistically Jack eh going nowhere yet and LP will never last as Jacks puppet. Our best realistic option is the replacement of Camps
with a sagaboy who could gallery and wrest some $$$ from the corporate sector.The last thing we need is Lincoln as a figurehead, wasting his abilities sipping champagne and hobnobbing with the jetset.

Sad to see this. Oliver is one of if not the most in-form midfielder in T&T. That includes Jemmot and Spann when they were in PL. And he persevering right down to the end with at least 3 last minute goals to save Cali. He may not have the physical presence of Whitley but the man has what we most need on a local based team...serious passing ability and positional awareness and he could battle non-stop to the end. He well overshadow even Theobald at Cali. Say wha.....I eh de coach.

Football / Re: Why has Marvin Oliver not been called up for training?
« on: October 02, 2007, 12:54:44 PM »Well de coach being consistent.
Look at de Gold Cup squad. Who on that team was over 30? Trent Noel maybe?(me eh know) MacFarlane?
I never see Marvin Oliver play but always hear dat he have ability. He obviously doin well in the PFL this season and kudos to him. Sound like he doin all he can to stake his claim. Hopefully it work out for him as far as his National team aspirations go.
At the end of the day, the coach is the one who determines the kind of players he needs for his team. What roles they will perform, what skill set they need to possess, what assets they bring to the team to help make the team better. Maybe Marvin Oliver will fit that criteria for coach Rijsbergen one day. Obviously at the moment he either doesn't or the coach feels there are other players who are more suitable because is not like de coach eh know who he is or never see him play.
In a way it is a good thing. We saying to the younger players that they should not waste their chances. Unfortunately a generation of players such as Jemmot, Oliver, Rahim etc. will be lost. But that IS the modern game. Sometimes players who don't make it could be a kind anti-inspiration too.
Well the coach knows best but when yuh watch Oliver play yuh really have to wonder....

General Discussion / Re: RBC Buying T&T's Biggest Bank........
« on: October 02, 2007, 12:38:03 PM »
They were supposed have it ready for this month. Trini, Jamaica, B'dos Caymans, Dutch W.I. and the E. Caribbean supposed to participate.
http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20070708/business/business1.html
They proposed this way back in 1989 . One advantage of that to RBTT was that the large amount of shares they have would be bought by the Caribbean as a whole not just Trinis so the price would rise. RBTT share price is depressed mainly by limits on institutional ownership and too many shares outstanding. RBTT is in good or better financial shape as RBL whose share price is twice as high. Plus RBTT has significant presence in Central America where growth prospects are high. That is why the Canadians bought this bank it is a VERY nice deal for them and not so good for shareholders IMO.

« on: October 02, 2007, 11:54:14 AM »
The little games I have seen him play in he has done very well, in fact topping the class in the PFL, for whatever that says. A digicel selection would have been good. Or even a run in the Gold cup. He was definitely playing at a better level for Cali than Jemmot for Rangers in most games. He does not quite have that vision for penetrating long passes that Jemmot has but he can make quick accurate short passes even under heavy pressure. And he defends fairly well for an attacking player. He not embroiled in personal issues that like Jemmot. For qualifying it is about results too so lets see if de coach will at least invite him to tryouts at some point to assess his abilities. As far as the age thing, it probably simplistic to bring up Milla, BUT our pool is small, Rijsbergen needs all the resources he can get. He obviously knows what he is doing far more than all of us here but I feel he go take a closer look at Oliver sooner rather than later.

Does this make RBTT shares go up up and away?
How yuh happy so, like yuh have shares! The share price will increase from $34 where it currently stands to $40. Plus some RBC shares. RBC got one deal there but shareholders got shafted, theat $40 price is too low. RBTT would have been exposed to more trading volumes once the regional exchange was opened. Anyway lets hope we have enough regulation in place so Trinidad's economy is not at the mercy of RBC corporate headquarters.

« on: October 01, 2007, 10:56:28 PM »FPATT, again I am embarassed to see some of the questions you are posed with as well as comments from some of the more established and so called "informed" people on this board.
Lord put ah hand !
Don't be...good bet is that if one person posts it there are others out there who are thinking it. At least their posting the questions presents an opportunity for FPATT to clear up some misconceptions.
Excellent response Bake n Shark. To offer a crude analogy, if a woman is accostomed to being treated like a piece of rubbish and another man comes offering flowers and sweet talk she must obviously be suspicious, and she will have to be careful the husband does not find out. But come what may she must either realize her worth and leave OR stay keep the staus quo. Watch closely at who are among the first to join FPATT. As they say you always know a persons true character when they are confronted by the unknown.

« on: September 30, 2007, 04:35:48 PM »I's the only person think we should try Birchall at right wing and push Carlos to right back.
I think so.
Birchall is apparently not very fast for that position. But it depends on the game situation. I would say 90% of the time Carlos good at RW, until we have a Sweden type situation. Birchall would be a good sub for Carlos as he would probably be the next most experienced RW we have. In fact I wonder why Beenhacker or Port Vale never tried Birchall at RB.4253

I cant even find Andrei Pacheco on the Colombus Crew team either. I feel he should have stayed home in T&T. They killing his career and now T&T may not call him up as he is not match fit.
From what I understand Pacheco is classified as being in development, meaning reserve or feeder team games.

Football / Re: FC Dallas coming to Trinidad for Shaka Hislop Tribute Cup
« on: September 27, 2007, 04:18:45 PM »I would have appreciated it more if they didn't do the all star thing that way though.
They could have try to organise with the ProLeague Champions, (or the Cup Champions) to send their team, and include the Olympic team as the 4th.
Or maybe keep the PFL Foreign all stars and call up a full fledged local based national team in place of the Local all Stars.
I suppose though that whoever playing it would still be not much more than a glorified fete match, though.
Still, I like it. Very nice of Dallas to give props to Shaka like that, considering that he only really played about one season there, if so much.
Proleague will also be able to display their goods for the Brazilian and US scouts...
Agreed there, if it is an annual thing, they could have the winners of the FCC or even the team in first place a month or so ahead of the tournament. Still a very good idea regardless. But if it is a scouting operation then all star teams makes sense.

Downing/Neaves K. Daniel/Marvin Oliver Hayden Tinto/K. Baptiste/Peltier
W. Joseph/Hyland Spann/ C. Baptiste

Look like FPATT ress ah bull pistle in jack back or wha?
Either way...watch him careful,, he always have some scheme hiding inside he cloak
Coops the players must be very happy for the end of this blacklist. And I salute them in that courageous stance they took, especially men like Sancho and Shaka. But no matter how many players come back, the fact is TTFF lied and tried to obfuscate their $$$ dealings. Maybe I'm a neva-happy kinda person and small victory is small victory, BUT, but I not feelin no great joy about this until I see not only end of blacklist but punitive action against the TTFF and the advisor, even if its just Camps forced to publicly acknowlede what they did to our National Team was unjust. Allyuh feel free to throw down a happy wine but we still have a heavy ball an chain roun we foot.
