AEK Athens optimistic for Levi Garcia's return
novasports.gr


Levi Garcia's recovery is progressing quite well and the medical staff of AEK Athens is optimistic that the player will soon return to training with the team.

According to reports, the 22-year-old footballer is expected to be available to Head Coach Massimo Carrera in mid- November, after suffering a thigh injury while chasing a ball during a match against Atromitos FC on October 4th.

If Garcia's recovery goes as expected, there is a chance he will still be able to participate in the latter stages of the 2020/21 UEFA Europa League Group Stage.

Hopefully this comes true!

Maybe he did know about Basant findings from early o'clock. The issue for him in the beginning was corroborating evidence.

Daiz why I say maybe he didn't have proof. If we people have any fortitude we would be backing him.  FIFA overdoing the BS and if everyone backs down when it get a lil difficult, they will continue to take advantage as they see fit.

Plenty ah allyuh is some coward f0(kaz! I backin WW all the way, right is right! F da house negro bs!  FIFA overlook all the shite DJW do and then conveniently install normalization committee when he get he kakahole break open in de elections.  Now because the fight getting difficult allyuh want to back down?!!  This is what people with resources and what they feel is unlimited power always try to do.  They will squeeze you and try to exhaust your efforts and resources until you comply.  People watching this 3pm deadline like that was something.  Where else in the world does anyone set an arbitrary time not congruent with the close of business in that region for a court matter to be handled?  Further if it was ever in good faith 23 minutes would easily be overlooked if indeed the intended purpose was for the matter to be removed from T&T High Courts.  I agree with WW that FIFA always intended to ban T&T and seized a very convenient opportunity to do so and avoid further scrutiny of their behavior.
absolute rubbish mate. wallace had our full support until he started doubting himself and flip flopping. yes he may be a great guy who wants the best for the sport, and I don’t doubt that for a minute, he has demonstrated that he would have made an excellent federation president, my only regret is that fifa favored him over DJW or that mr timkee did not meet his demise as soon as he did, just maybe his expertise would have came in handy at a time like this, but it clearly wasn’t meant to be.

WW had me until he claimed that he was about to fold then mark bassant’s story broke which gave him courage to carry on, that revelation lead me to believe that he was flying blind all along. he then kept trying to reach out to fifa to negotiate, then waited until the congress which worked against him when infantino read the play that they wanted to put fifa on the hot seat at the congress. gianni as cunning as he is did not use the opportunity to get the federations involved, instead he went to his magnificent six yes man team to do his dirty work.

from that moment he should have known that it was only a matter of time before fifa banned him and should have dropped the high court case that friday and moved it the CAS instead of calling most of the stake holders together for a meeting to drop all the cases on Tuesday, including going back to CAS by abandoning the whole fight altogether, then if that wasn’t shady enough he went back on his word to drop the case in the high court the next day following the ban reinstating his stance after a unanimous decision rendered by the football fraternity.

and here’s the icing on the cake, he never has anything decisive to tell the fans who are obviously hurting, we only get to follow along in the dark, and I say enough of this bullshit. if you’re gonna go for the ban then go for it, if you’re gonna try to save face by stepping aside and allowing the popular opinions of the stake holders to dictate the pace then fine.

but it’s ironic that no one is moved by the fact that if fifa did not ban us and accepted the truce, they weren’t even going to take the fight to CAS, that would have been it, over squashed....done, would you so called warriors have a problem or called him out for cowardice?

these people are clueless mate, and you’ll find out sooner or later. you’ll see.

Dude maybe you should consider that up until the Bessant piece, WW did not have the proof of as much wrongdoing as was always suspected.  Up until that point he had all the procedural malfeasance conducted by DJW that FIFA knew about and looked the other way.  So while his decision to fight was correct he wasn't completely loaded with the ammunition necessary.  In seeing the proverbial mountain and with the massively dwindling support of the stakeholders in TnT, he was prepared to go against his own conviction and fold.  Or he cleverly was playing dead to ketch Courbeaux alive.  Either way, the new information presented by Bessant which seem to be supported by tremendous investigative efforts easily would reinforce his initial conviction and fortitude to take on the Goliath that is FIFA.  You think way to linear and not seeing this for what it really is.

This is a real sad day. I never got the opportunity to play for Grovey because I migrated.  I will never forget how disappointed he was when I told him I was leaving.  I never went out for football even though I had enough talent. But right as I was leaving basketball was about to start up and from his reaction I was among the people he envisioned on the team.  We had a few run ins because I liked mild trouble. But despite his gruff voice and bearish look he was ah rell cool individual. Grovey was a class act and before Covid happened I had in my head that the next time I visit, I had to go and check him.  Guess it wasn't meant to be.  He will live on in so many people's minds. SMH R.I.P Grovey boi!!!

I posted last month that DL will not leave on his own as he wont be paid out. However, if he is fired for the poor results, he can still mount an argument to leave with something in his pocket. DL has tainted his resume with the string of poor performances. I doubt that he will be given a head coach position again by any club or national team.. unless Anguilla or a team of that elk comes calling.

My guess is that if Wallace wins the election, Hart will be back. Time is limited. So we need someone who knows the team, the culture and the processes, and can get the team prepared for the Gold cup qualifier. The learning curve will be too high for someone who does not possess that knowledge. I have a premonition that we will be facing Guatemala or Guyana for that Gold cup spot. Hart got it right and figured out Guatemala for us. I got faith that he can do it all over again.
i don’t think hart will come back. he has a good gig in canada he’s getting paid on time he has all the tools he needs to accomplish his goals, come back for what, to deal with the carenage crew and the cash strapped federation and all their misgivings? I seriously doubt it.

You have something personal with Carenage ah wha?  Daiz de beginning and end of all that ails the NT?!
yes i do, so what of it?

« on: September 16, 2019, 02:29:22 PM »
So Samuel merits his national team selection on continued promise rather than on actual playing time? How is this justified when he sees limited action even during the Ascension tournament? He didn't even play in Rangers 10-2 rout of Matura. How is this consistent with stated expectations?

I suspect the answer will go something like; well he attached to a club and in the past we fielded several unattached players regularly. So on that note he easily merrits a call up if the coach believes he has something to add to the team

Imagine @ 35 Zlatan telling them that.  One thing about him, he is loaded with entertaining ways of expressing himself. MLS needed a villain and he fits the role perfectly.

He's actually 37.
Dat make mls look even worse

Scorpion, I beg to differ. Not everybody can handle the MLS. Gerrard, Lampard, Drogba and many more never light up the MLS. But Beckham, Zlatan and Bradley Wright-Phillips did well.

All 3 yuh mention either had very little gas left or didn't care that much. David Villa make mas same way and was never really great save for a 2 year stretch. Rooney also doing well and have loads of miles on them legs.  MLS decent and daiz about the size of it.

I don’t understand why he has isolated boatswain, that lad had some potential and looked dangerous every time he plays yet he sticks with one dimensional winchester and Nathan Lewis who in all his competitive starts can’t find a single goal. he has all but ignored Greg Ranjitsingh who I’m sure is much better than the two goats we have, when will he give the lad a shot? it’s things like this that infuriates me about dennis lawrence.


Dan now I know fuh sure you on shit!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
he looked more likely to score than jamol and winchester that’s for sure.
I will give you that one lol. I remember Botswain looking promising making people talk rubbish about him replacing KJ. And just as quickly as that talk start it boil dong like baghee. Botswain looked like he could develop into something similar to KJ but all it was, was potential. Nothing more, nothing less!

Lawrence has a terrible record, and I really wanted him to do well having been mentored by Martinez for so long, but alas we don't have Belgium quality players

But isn't he playing like Martinez in the earlies? Sideways and backwards, but very limited going forward.

In the earlies with which team(s)?

That's what I wondering. If is anything, Martinez has consistently been criticized for being TOO focused on attack. From de start in League One his Swansea side was pouring in goals.

Man remember how people was raving about Scotty under Martinez in the Championship? For 2 Years str8 Scottie was unstoppable and Swansea was pressha. In fact wasn't it Martinez who got them promoted and then Wigan hired him? Memory lil fuzzy and doh feel like googlin it lol

Why do you give DJW such an out? This entire debacle is DJW's making. He's an ignorant narcissist, not content of being master of his own domain, dragging down T&T football with him. All roads lead from him - he's made such a shambles of our finances that no one would take the job without being paid from FIFA.

How am I giving him an out? When I just stated he is a sell out? He’s controlled, say what you like, but there’s no president that stands to make profits from a losing team, unless betting, bribery and corruption is involved. For donkey years we had super talented players without  a great coach to harness that talent and take them to the next level, we saw it with beenhakker and it was just a glimpse, we started seeing it with hart and then they destroyed that, deliberately

I’m not a conspiracy theorist and that word has been used to distract and lessen the truth and cover up the corruption
seriously mate sometimes you make me wonder about your sanity. I don’t know how long ago you think hart was here so that we’ve lost our memories of his performance especially in his last few outings, but I remembered it like yesterday. hart loss his last 8 games in charge and it seemed like he also was losing the dressing room with the carenage crew (jovin, cato, peltier and molino) losing interest in representing the country.

hart failed to qualify for the Copa centenario three times the last outing losing to Haiti in Panama.he also failed to qualify for the gold cup getting beat out by martinique in martinique, surprisingly he was given another chance to start the hex which he loss two games in a row which proven to be the straw that broke the camel’s back. in all honesty i though DJW was very patient with him giving him time after time to get it together.

in the end hart was figured out by his opponents and teams actually found a way to counteract his method of approach which consequently rendered him winless in his last 8 outings. I believe if hart was winning DJW would have let him be to continue coaching the national team, but hart started losing very important games and Williams canned him, it’s as simple as that.

You forgot to mention Hart was being undercut in plain view of all. He went winless in matches because he simply couldn't function when the DJW was bold enough to request an extra international match on a 3 (match I believe) tour that went from T&T to Asia in about 10 days.
hart had more to work with than most. next time you come to his aid think about coaches who had to deal with warner, like st claire, latapy, pfister,maturana, potterfield, whim risebergen and Hudson charles. these men had to make do without friendlies and high tech equipment, player unavailability, now for now call ups/ lack of preparation time, poor in camp accommodations, player selection interferences, and blacklisted players.

Not knocking hart he really was a good capable coach but somewhere along the way his players lost interest in playing for him and it showed in the results, I guess there’s nothing much a coach could do about that. IMO hart had it better than lawrence ever could. sometimes a good coach just has to weatherthese kind of thunder storms and keep on keeping on.

Dan you talking so much bullshit I doh even know where to begin.  Maybe yuh was on vacation when DJW was up to he bs shenanigans that had a direct impact on Harts ability to get the best out of his players. You acting like Hart was some run ah de mill shithomg that people romanticizin smh!

While some ah allyuh does feel Contro mad, there are a few things that completely changed or affects the quality of our football and all under DJW watch.  Under DJW:

KJ was sidelined (likely for being vocal on several issues)

Bostock went from interested to not at all.

Hart was indeed sabotaged with a combination of interference and lack of support. Despite some not liking him for their own personal reasons, none can deny the football was better.

Ranjitsingh has been continuously neglected for years while playing at higher levels and performing better than the mainstays on our team

Saintfete was hired as Hart's replacement!

Match fees cut and even cut rate not being paid affecting morale and interest in representing

TTFA board circumvented on numerous occasions therefore allowing DJW to operate as he sees fit

All of these things happening under the same regime and negatively affecting our football is hard to be seen as coincidental or incidental occurrences.
