Meanwhile, Lincoln Phillips, T&T football's technical director, feels that T&T should have played many more such matches at this stage.
At this stage we are still ahead in the ball game, but not by far. We have never started our programme immediately after the World Cup, we usually wait two years before doing something. It would definitely be better for us to be playing games, regardless of which teams we play."
Mexico my ass.
How are we ahead when Jamaica supposed to be playing Nigeria and we playing El Salvador. And as for the Mexico match this is at least the 2nd time this year TTFF announced we playing Mexico, maybe we will get the Mex Women's u-14 this time.

Nice to see Jones doing well and recieving praise.
But acclaim is a two edged sword, where you find that you also find criticism. I'm sure he understands that the intensity of the criticism will be just as strong, if not stronger, in those times he suffers a lack of form. Remember when Beenie commented that even Jones does not know how good he is? He should have many good years in the EPL and hopefully a few in CL.

« on: September 15, 2007, 12:57:35 AM »Ok but didnt the Government give money to them and if so could they not investigate.
As I understand it the gov't donation did not come with any legal bearings on the specifics of how it was to be spent. A kinda "free" money thing, like donating to a charity that claims to give $$ to orphanages. If no specific claim is made as in "we'll give $100 to 2 orphanages", then if they give $.01 and spend $99.99 on salaries then they can legally claim to have fullfilled their mandate. I am not in law, so others could tell me if I'm off on that one.
AKA in N. America as corporate welfare
Close...except the government money wasn't a donation per se, but a 'goodwill gesture' if you will. The government was just buying some political capital by piggybacking on the outpouring of pride and nationalism that followed the Germany campaign. They didn't want to lose face to one of their biggest political opponents (Jack and the UNC) so they was trying to be in thing by giving away public money. Unless there was some type of stipulation as to how the funds were supposed to be spent then the recipient (TTFF) is free to spend...or not spend, as they see fit.
I used that analogy b/c this situation reminded me of the fire an' brimstone Southern preacher who encouraged people to send him money so he could donate it to an orphanage in Haiti. He even showed video footage of himself visiting the orphanage. You know de scene; poor black children with distended bellies, far away look in their eyes, cobo rushin dem, yadda yadda . De man was huggin dem up, blessin dem; he bawlin big tears an all kina ting, beggin people to sen $$$. The priest in charge of the orphanage say how the preacher is de sword of God, how he save X amount of children life etc, etc. Well 60 minutes or somebody do a expose on him. Yuh know mih boy was sending only $20-$30/month to de damn orphanage and pocketin MILLIONS! They even talk to the priest. The priest tell them he had to smile and let the man gallery because $20month better than nutten.
The poeple that donated this money, much of whom were elderly African-American widows looking to do some good in the world, were not legally entitled to a single penny in compensation. Robert Tilton was his name.

"Oliver Camps, the T&TFF president, could not explain the vast difference between the two financial statements. He was driving when contacted by the Express and, he explained, could not concentrate on figures at the time.
He did not feel he could help if the Express contacted him later either.
"I would prefer if you call (T&TFF general secretary) Richard Groden, who should have all that information," said Camps, who has led the local body for over a decade.
Groden was not at the T&TFF headquarters when the Express called and the staff were not certain when he would return."

but Hardest saying Rangers should have called him in first and hear his side of the story which according to Hardest( or TI)...is that the Passa Passa Football was like "community Service"....maybe a point ...but this is Pro football son.....
You right, in in a way he was right
. The Pro league could worse than to have some of its players visible in the sporting life of the community that they supposed to represent. Especially if they are well known sons of the community itself. Maybe more than the players padnahs go show up to watch PL ball. But he signed a contract and his actions were not sanctioned by the terms of his contract. Jemmott passion seems to lie in the type of football where he makes less money but where he is an important member of the community; that is a strong consideration for some people, worth more than $$$.

1) He spoke of the inconsistency of the weather, probably patterns that had a decline in temperature. A warm summer morning that turns into chilly conditions can be very miserable
2) I once did a media interview after a big tournament and handed in a written release offering my summations. The news story was quite different from both my written and verabal comments. It was not the first time that happened nor the last, but it was startling how different their version was.
Peace

TWO-TIME champions Joe Public has taken a decision not to compete in the National Super Football League next season.
The other clubs also not benefiting from the fund include Defence Force and WASA, both government institutions.
Warner said when the club asked for an explanation as to why Joe Public would not receive the fund, a totally unacceptable reason was given.
“The insult and utter disregard meted out to Joe Public by the relevant authorities in this regard as well as certain persons associated with the Super league cannot go unnoticed and unaddressed.”
