Football / Local Training Camps Game?

« on: January 05, 2006, 10:38:11 AM »

Is there any game schedule for the locals in Training camps, According to some men here we have a team that is training under corneal that started this week, are we expecting to see any games for this team where we can gauge where the men is in terms of form.

A warm up versus barbados or grenada in 2-3 weeks would be a good idea.

It will give us a chance to see if TnT supporters will show up and also to see which local players are looking to seroiusly press for a spot on the team.

Football / This Thing Real Ironic

« on: January 04, 2006, 09:20:05 AM »

Imagine the Express running all these articles by Lasana bad talking Warner but when you look to the top of the page you see a big Simpauls advertisment. So even them taking the "Dirty" Warner Money.
They bad talking the man package but advertizing it for some $$$

Dont get caught up with these fools all of them out for one thing?

Themself

Jack Warner Been doing this for 30 years now men want to complain.
Forget Warner and his nonsense everything has a beginning and an end

I predict that once this world cup done and Jack see how much money he really lost from his world cup dream he will walk away from the football.
There is no money in TnT football the majority of fans are too fickle "Wagonist" Once Jack achieve his WC dream in June he will walk away.

Football / None of the Caribbean nations have returned to the World Cup

« on: December 29, 2005, 11:55:43 AM »

Warner made this statement in his address today.

I think it is a very telling statement

Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica have all made world cup before and none of them were able to go back.

What makes us think we are different and we actually will be able to go back to the world cup anytime soon.

does making the world cup (4th in the Hex) change anything about our football or development, Just last year we was in a real mess.

Is football standing magically transformed or just smoke screen.


How do we become a consistant nation in concacaf like Mexico, USA or even Costa Rica

What is lacking? and what are we doing to address this

Football / Men want the TTFF to sell the tickets directly ....like men gone crazy

« on: December 28, 2005, 08:58:22 AM »

Sometimes I does have to wonder what men does really want because men calling for the TTFF to sell the FIFA allocated tickets directly to the public.

But we need to remember is the TTFF we talking bout.

Them men could not even sell tickets for we mexico game and bahrain game without drama and comess Who here really feel they could handle world cup level tickets.

first thing first

TTFF is only able to sell tickets in 2 category Covered Stands and Uncovered stands.

World cup tickets have all kind a 4 catergory and thing, this sure to drive the TTFF computer crazy When them men see pictures of the stadium and the whole stadium covered they go say "but wha is thisssssssssss .....how much to charge? "

TTFF ticket rule book
Rule #1 : Tickets come in 2 categories covered and uncovered; Covered is twice as expensive as uncovered.
also for big game add a fence to the side of the covered stands to expand and make more money even though it is really uncovered!

Next thing

Where to sell the tickets?
KFC is who the TTFF does use but this sure to cause another confusion. The first question the TTFF go ask is who in the group have a german visa to go and drop the tickets in KFC germany. no point in selling the tickets in Trinidad if the game is in Germany...ent?

TTFF ticket rule book
Rule #2 : KFC is the best place to sell tickets, Spicy or original, covered versus uncovered go hand in hand

another thing

When to start to sell the tickets?
For big games sell tickets close to the game time to prevent fraud tickets. TTFF go set up a booth outside the stadium to sell the tickets on game day.

TTFF ticket rule book
Rule #3: for big games ignore rule #2. Sell the tickets the day before the game, but remember to give out most of the tickets to the sponsors and friends way in advance of the actual public ticket sale. (See rule #6 for details on distribution practices)

How much tickets per person?
Just sell first come first serve if a man want to buy 100 tickets and he first in line sell it!

TTFF ticket rule book
Rule #4: Scalpers have childeren to feed too just sell the tickets nah man as long as we get we money we happy!

What about Fan Groups and Season Ticket holders?
That is too much Drama and work, trinis doh operate so, if man want Seasoned Tickets and preferential fan treatment and thing let them go and support america. I hear them have a good set up.

TTFF ticket rule book
Rule #5: Forget Season Tickets that is just another reason for man to cuss we when the game get called off

What about the inside men and we friends?
If the TTFF was really selling the tickets do you think you would actually be able to buy any. They had 25000 tickets available for the Bahrain match and a man was 20th in the line and could not get any.

TTFF ticket rule book
Rule #6: How to Handle the Friend thing! This is the most important rule of all

a) Men in Executive commitee running the show
b) If sponsor bringing big money give them tickets (even if printing is required)
c) Dont forget to save some for the current players, EX players get nothing
d) Govt officials have to get a lil thing too
e) Save a few tickets in case you meet a pardner outside the stadium
f) Save at least 1 tickets in case you see a sweet reds
g) Remember you do not need to save a ticket for yourself the man by the gate know your face so he go let you inside.
h) God made you a trini so you could enjoy life anything goes in terms of tickets enjoy it.
i) Since we give away 90% of the tickets for free we go make a loss but dont worry, take a borrow and we go pay back tomorrow.

Rule # 7
Be strong men go cuss you and complain but forget them, they just want your work. If Jack Warner is for us who be against us!

At the end of the day if the TTFF was to say tickets on sale for the world cup $1000 TT per tickets who in their right mind will go and buy those tickets with the hope of going germany.
Boy you would have to have real belly.

You might reach germany and when you read the ticket good it say World Cup 2010 South Africa!

Football / Trinis Just like to bring themself Down, Jack Warner is we daddy

« on: December 27, 2005, 08:14:28 AM »

Now that we on the world stage now we want to find al kind of problem with Jack When just last month men was backing him strong strong for Funding the team.

Fact is Jack is doing the same thing he has been doing since 1970 so why now all the Hype.

Now is time for we to enjoy the world cup and stay together as one
What we doing

Exposing all the dotishness for personal fame and some thing to Yap about


Simpauls has been handling TTFF travel arangements since Jack Warner owned it and he has owned it for 10 years

Why did people not have a problem with that for the last 10 years with the obvious conflict of interest.

Jack Warner a Trini supporter has been in Change of Gold Cup, WCQ and Caribben Cup a competition that TnT competes in and no body complain about that conflict of interest.

When he use his position to get FIFA world cup and fifa money to build stadium in TnT no body complain about that.

In the early 1990's when Korea did give we practice match and 2 maxi taxi for world cup votes nobody was complaining.

Practice match in South Africa no body was complaining

Paying Simoes Salary no body complaining

Paying Beenie man Salary the man was a God for doing that.


The point is Jack Warner Owns TnT football. He purchased it long time ago because they were unable to do anything without his connections and influence.

The TTFF owes him millions in favors if not dollars

and one thing I am very sure of

Nothing in life is free.

People does talk both Jack donating he hard earned money to T&T football but it was never a donation it was a loan,

and sooner or later you have to pay the piper.
Now is time to pay!!

I do not like Jack Warner involvement in Football in TnT at all and I still dont like it.

It is the wrong approach to have one man own the sport in the country but very few people are willing to let TnT football be like ST Vincent.
We cant take that jamming so we sell out to Jack.

Now man vex cause he want to make back some money,


Jack warner ownes TnT football.

He owns the players the coaches the stadiums and the Tickets.

He could give you free tickets, and take them away.
Free trip to Gold Cup and Charter flight for rythm section.

so now when it come time to make money is better Simpauls sell it that rampauls because is Simpauls that put the money out first.

I personnaly not suporting Jack and he nonsense that is why I not buying no package.

There are other options you can buy things on the internet even if you based in TnT.

Imagine that men still complaining that Jack running boboil in TnT football.

Where have you been for the last 30 years???


The man when on Tv about 1989 and say that he commit fraud and sell tickets in TnT then went NY and sell over the same tickets.
He admit that, he never get fined, fired , lock up or even force to pay a refund or even organise a free match to make it up.
In fact all he get was a diplomatic passport and a promotion.

now we in 2005 and man vex cause he in charge of selling the FIFA WC tickets.

Hypocrites

Jack Warner own all things football in Trinidad and Tobago.
He is the be all and the end all!

Football / This is what is missing from our program A Trinidad Focus

« on: December 20, 2005, 03:18:36 PM »

We just want to sit around and wait for FIFA window to play 3 games leading up to the world cup and have a 1  month camp before it start.

Why not play some games in the mean time with the local based to big up some football hype in the nation itself.

We cannot get the foreign based well fine

But what about all the other second 11 players why not work with them





Donovan, Johnson head 30-man training camp roster that includes Adu
 
December 20, 2005

CHICAGO (AP) -- Landon Donovan and Eddie Johnson head a 30-man roster announced Tuesday for the U.S. soccer team's first training camp of 2006, and 16-year-old Freddy Adu was invited to practice with the group for the first time.

Donovan led the Americans with six goals this year. Johnson scored eight goals in his first eight games with the national team but missed much of the year because of an injured toe.

Adu also is eligible to play for Ghana, a first-round opponent of the United States at the World Cup, but has said repeatedly he intends to remain in the U.S. program.

Only one European-based player was picked, defender Heath Pearce of Denmark's FC Nordsjaelland. He made his national team debut last month in a 1-1 tie at Scotland.

Players will start practice Jan. 4 at Carson, Calif., as many try to earn spots on U.S. coach Bruce Arena's 23-man World Cup roster. The United States has exhibition games against Canada on Jan. 22 at San Diego, Norway on Jan. 29 at Carson, Calif., and Japan on Feb. 10 at San Francisco. Another game might be scheduled for Feb. 19 in the Dallas area.

"We view this camp and the games in January and February as critical toward our preparation for Germany," Arena said.

The U.S. team will have its Europe-based players for a game there March 1 against an opponent yet to be determined. The Americans also play at Germany on March 22.

At the World Cup, the United States plays the Czech Republic, Italy and Ghana in the first round.

The full roster:

Goalkeepers: Brad Guzan (Chivas USA), Kevin Hartman (Los Angeles), Matt Reis (New England), Jonny Walker (Columbus).

Defenders: Chris Albright (Los Angeles), Jimmy Conrad (Kansas City), Todd Dunivant (Los Angeles), Frankie Hejduk (Columbus), Ugo Ihemelu (Los Angeles), Chad Marshall (Columbus), Heath Pearce (FC Nordsjaelland, Denmark), Eddie Pope (Salt Lake).

Midfielders: Freddy Adu (D.C.), Brian Carroll (D.C.), Ricardo Clark (Houston), Clint Dempsey (New England), Landon Donovan (Los Angeles), Justin Mapp (Chicago), Kyle Martino (Columbus), Pablo Mastroeni (Colorado), Pat Noonan (New England), Ben Olsen (D.C.), Santino Quaranta (D.C.), Steve Ralston (New England).

Forwards: Brian Ching (Houston), Nate Jaqua (Chicago), Eddie Johnson (Dallas), Chris Rolfe (Chicago), Taylor Twellman (New England), Josh Wolff (Kansas City).

« on: December 20, 2005, 12:30:01 PM »

with there competitive tournament 6 months before the world cup.
If their full squad of players go to the cup it would be a good prep for the world cup.

Practice match is Practice match
but real competition is another thing.

used wisely this could be a good preparations

I think this tournament last several weeks so it is like a mini camp

U.S. Soccer Federation and national team finalize labor deal
 
By RONALD BLUM, AP Sports Writer
December 19, 2005
NEW YORK (AP) -- Players on the U.S. soccer team would each receive a minimum bonus of nearly $200,000 apiece for advancing to the second round of next year's World Cup under an agreement that would allow each to earn almost $750,000 if the Americans go unbeaten and win the tournament.

The U.S. Soccer Federation and the national team's labor union finalized a contract Monday that covers the next two World Cups and runs through 2010. Under the deal, bonuses rise by 50 percent from the 2002 tournament and will increase from 22.5 percent to 35 percent from 2006-10, depending on how the Americans do at next year's tournament in Germany.

For advancing to the 2002 World Cup quarterfinals, the Americans' best result since 1930, players earned $200,543 apiece. The bonuses last time went to the 23 players on the roster, and the USSF also agreed to pay Chris Armas and Greg Vanney, who were injured just before the tournament.

This time, the USSF is paying the money to a pool that players will split among themselves, similar to how postseason baseball teams divide their shares.

Each point earned during the first round would be worth $150,000 to the player pool, up from $100,000, and the bonus for making the second round would be $2,775,000, up from $1.85 million. At least four points usually are needed to advance, that means if the shares are split 23 ways, players would receive at least $199,239 for making the second round.

In addition, each player will get $37,500 for making the roster and $3,750 for each game played by the team during the tournament.

Players would split $2.25 million for making the quarterfinals, $2,625,000 for advancing to the semifinals, $3 million for going to the final and $3.75 million for winning the tournament. Winning the third-place game would be worth $500,000.

If the United States wins the World Cup having gone 7-0, each player would receive $748,533 if shares are divided 23 ways.

In 2002, the quarterfinal bonus was $1.5 million, the semifinal bonus $1.75 million, the final bonus $2 million and the championship bonus $2.5 million.

The sides had agreed Jan. 21 to a no-strike pledge through 2005, ending a pay dispute in which management threatened to use replacement players in World Cup qualifiers. Using the regular players, the United States qualified for its fifth straight World Cup.

Under the agreement, retroactive to 2003, the team's bonus for qualifying for the World Cup rose to $1.35 million from $900,000. Players' appearance fees for games other than World Cups are $3,000. Bonuses for ties and wins in qualifying range from $1,350 to $6,000, depending on the result and the opponent, and bonuses for exhibition games are $750 to $5,250.

Football / Gold Cup was proof that we cannot handle group play

« on: December 20, 2005, 08:56:35 AM »

Playing to come out of a group is an art in it of itself

It is a lot different than playing Head to head or playing in the hex.

Our performance in the Gold Cup was poor and we could not recover to come out of the group even though we had great expectations.

Our limited experience in group type play will hurt us.

Unless we are able to start strong and beat sweeden we will have problems because chasing the game will not help our defensive situation against paraguary or England.

Our Entire focus must be to find a way to pick up points against Sweeden and paraguary.

for group play you have to play from in front
We cannot come on strong like we did in the Hex

if we dont start strong it will be impossible to recover.

2006 World Cup - Germany / Fellas Relax Tickets will be easy to get

« on: December 15, 2005, 07:33:48 AM »

The only game that will be tight will be the England Game cause the stadium only holds 30,000 or so.

And Frankly if you have an England game ticket is best you scalp it for about 500 pounds and use the money to buy tickets for the other 2 games.

TnT Vs Paraguary and TnT Verus Sweden you will get tickets no problem because local people who have tickets for those games will readily sell them for face or just below face value even outside the stadium on game day

The big cost is the Hotel room.

I fraid Jack and them with the Simpauls Package cause I want to see exactly what hotel it is first.

Them men might take big money and you end up sharing a bathroom in a hostel.
If it is a top hotel them it might be worth it for $5000 US

But you know them men is famous rip off artist.

My focus is cheap airfare and cheap Hotel

Match tickets will be easy to get.

Football / Just Got back from Germany

« on: December 12, 2005, 09:01:38 AM »

Hey fellas what is the vibes , I know I have not been posting for a while b/c I was travelling for my Job.

Just got back from Germany (Actually I was only in the Munich Airport for a few hours ) on route to Poland.

The airport real nice and clean.
But things real expensive over there so walk with alyuh money.

I pay 6 Euro for a class of orange juice and 2 Euro for a pastries that is about 12 US in total.

I talked to some German People and they say that Hotels etc have already Jack up the price of everything around world cup time so be prepared and also book early.

I kind of Disapointed with the draw cause we in a Hard Group.


I aint seeing we going very far but you never know.


The USA will also get eliminated in the first rounds

Costa Rica have a slight hope and Mexico probably have the best chance to advance.

Playing in Europe with Home support Sweden and England will be tough to beat.

Paraguary is a solid squad but at least we have good history against them.

This way we could promote a TnT invention, It could be a shawdow graph or a background logo But we need to put something Trini on there.


I fed up correcting people that Steel Drums was not invented in Jamaica.
Now is the time to educate the world.

We uniform should be design by Minshall and let Addidas just put they logo on it.

It must represent TnT.
Otherwise is just another red jersey!

to get the corner that lead to the goal.

Yorke play a through ball Jones

Jones reach the ball and try to shoot/ Cross the defender run into him and try to body him off the ball.

You know the defender bounce of Jones and drop like a breadfruit on the ground Brad Dap!!!!

The man look up at jones and had an expressions on he face like
" Who the hell is this freaking Nigga, is like I just run into a mack truck"

Jones real big and strong boy

He just brushing them off Brushing them off whole day.

If we put Jones as Defensive Midfield and feed him Edgar Davids pit bull food.

Nothing will pass through we middle.

Football / Bahrain is a Masochistic Country or What?

« on: November 18, 2005, 02:15:37 PM »

The first thing come out of they mouth is they want a rematch.

I could understand if they did real pressure we and thing and had a chance.
But realistically we was supposed to beat them 2 -3 nil
even in the first leg we should have score more

Them men just taking beat left right and center in the first game and they take more beat in the second game.

They take licks till they want to fight, kick ball out of we goalie hand all kind of thing.
Is like the addictied to the beat.

You know sometimes you does be stroksing a thing and why you hit hard is then she feel good
Well that is Bahrain

Why ask for a rematch when it is quite clear that nothing else but a cut ass is in store for you.

I never see people like licks so.

Football / Realistically we not playing no big side in TnT in March

« on: November 18, 2005, 01:55:21 PM »

That is just Jack Talking up in his backside as usual

First thing world Cup is in Europe so sides looking for preparations in European Climate.

You not getting no big side to fly to TnT to play in Tropical weather.

These teams are very scientific with their approach as time draws near.

We might get a play against a non world cup side like
Uraguary, Columbia Cameroon South Africa
maybe a Mexico or Costa Rica

England Itally Holland Etc definetly not coming

Brazil or Argentina is a maybe


If we talking bout game in Europe
Then I would say surely we could get a big side

but to get them to come TnT will be real hard.

137

Football / When Last Alyuh See Yorke Take it too a Defense

« on: November 18, 2005, 01:28:15 PM »

Boy not since Aston Villa and Signal Hill and Strike Squad days I see yorke run and men and try to shake them.

Yorke try alkind of wips waps and spanner and thing in that game.

This is what we need aimless over dribbling
The poor man so not used to beating he falling down on he big head at least 2 3 times when he shaking up the men and them.

In the first game in the stadium Yorke shake the man the man fall down and then Yorke fall down on top the man. He beat the man till he beat himself.


But is good to see the Yorke skills coming back, expect nuff shake to pass in the World Cup They say in life you does go full circle. Yorke will end his career as a beatser man Like he started it.

Boy I cah wait for the world cup

Nuff nuff shake go share

Even Stern and all turn on man in that game and take it too them nicely.

If Yorke Latapy and Stern in form and sharing beat we bound to make at least a Quarter Finals

Somebody put Yorke Head on a diet I feel he a lil top heavy that is why he falling down so

138

Football / 2nd Round is very Realistic at this Moment

« on: November 17, 2005, 03:46:01 PM »

When you look at the field things looking good for we

1) Africa sending 4 out of 5 teams that make it for the first time just like we so if one of them in we group we should be able to handle them.

2) We should be able to get by the best in Asia, we tie South Korea in the past and Saudi, Iran and even Japan could take some licks from the warriors

3) Our Players are aclimitized to Europe, This is a big deal makes a big difference

4) Concacaf have some strong teams but we will not be in the same group as them

5) We could even Jumbie a seeded team I rather a South American seeded team versus a Europe seeded team because I want to see if we could knock ball with the best of them. Argentina or Brazil will be nice


We could get a group with

Italy ( we might loose 1-0 then Italian dont score plenty)
Swisse (We could beat them)
Iran ( we could take them too)
TnT ( we sure to beat we self so that is 3 extra pts right they)

or it could go the other way

Brazil
Czech Republic
Austrailia
TnT

This might be a lil pressure but with luck we might squeez through

Football / Now is the Time for 2 Teams Training Under Bennie Man and Crew

« on: November 17, 2005, 12:39:44 PM »

Bennie Man Really Transform this team, It was like night and Day if you use Mexico Away Under Bertile and Mexico away under Bennie was the yard stick.

I think his drills and coaching really transform these men to play as a unit.

We need to expose as much men as possible to Bennie's Coaching.

Right about now the foreign based gone until the world cup only getting release for international friendlies on assigned date.

They say Jack Mention 3 games

But we can benefit more than that.

If we set up a local based squad to train like bennie did do when he just reach this will be most beneficial, especially if it is the younger guys who will be part of the next campaign.

Chances are Bennie will be gone after the world cup and we do not want to be back to square one.
Once Latas and Yorke Retire

A local team in training is a must right now cause real players will be interested and we could arrange more matches than just the 3 big ones.
They will even pull a lil crowd support for games versus caribbean opposition. 5000 per game or a lil more

Everybody want to play TnT practice games now cause we in the world cup even if we go with a second string they go still play we.

Our Team still has plenty gaps that a Local Player might be able to Fill


1) Solidify the right back, Cyd is looking good but offensively he does not add much, Atiba Charles has great potential as well

2) We need a left footer in the side. (If Yorke could have gone left instead of cut in he would have surley score)

3) We need another Central Defender ( one who has good feet for games when we want to build from the back)

4) Cover for Avery John

5) We solid in the GK position we 3 deep and both Jack and Ince will be around in 4 years

6) We need a quick forward to be developed


Countless men will benefit from World Cup Training that Bennie and his Staff can provide

Men who are available to train

MLS Men
Cornell John
Sealy
Avery John
Tiger
Rojas


A League men

Titus
Big Truck Bago
Jeffery
and others

PFL Men

Wolfe
Theobald
Charles
Williams GK
Thomas
Glasglow


Has Beens
Dwarika
Nixon
Eve
Even Flinking Leoson Lewis could take a lil thing


There is at least 5 Spots up for grabs on the World Cup Roster and we should have at least 30 men vying for these spots.


A squad in Training at home under Bennie Man for the next 6 months will Totally transform TnT football forever because
We have the Energy
We have the Motivation
We have the Knowledge

Shithound does get good overnight when world cup at stake !

Go TnT Go

Football / Bum Bum Bum Tum Tum Tum Bahrain men have real Belly

« on: November 17, 2005, 09:14:20 AM »

to come here and complain about disallowed goal and thing means you have no shame.

The only reason that game was even close was because we men was real nervous but now that the monkey off we back we could easily destroy a side like Bahrain.

Bahrain playing hit and hope football they cannot string 3 passes together they playing at home and they cannot cross half line.

We had total territorial advantage and they played much worst in this game that the first.

Without the #10 they can do nothing.

Even after we score a goal and they needed to come forward they could not muster a chance on goal.

The last minute shot was the only chance they got after our goal.

Their players had no intensity and the fans were quite

All they could do was pelt bottle when time was running out.

No cheering no applause nothing.

If Dwight and Latas and Stern did not make skylark with putting away the chances we would have won by a landslide.


In a crucial game such as this

If the crowd show no Vocal Support
The players show no fight or intensity (until the 90 min when the game done)

You want to balme the ref and try to get theif goal and replay and all that shit

Move from here!

Any idiot all over the world know that when the GK kicking out the ball you cannot tackle him.

Have you seen any footballer anywhere in the world do this.

DO you see world class strikers trying to jump in front of the keeper when he is kicking out the ball.

That is the kind of goal you guys want to score.

Move and go away.

Learn to play football before your decide to embark on world cup campaigns.

If Bahrain did come out to play football they would have done much better
But they come out to play the ass

Stop bitching

We were the better team and we deserve to beat you guys by many many more goals

Trinidad and Tobago will forever be a part of your history.
You will remember us for the rest of your life.
10 years from now you will be asking us for a rematch to commemorate the worst football day in the history of Bahrain.

The first step is addmittance

Repeat after me

My name is Bah Boo and Trinidad and Tobago is my Daddy!

Go and cry in a corner and come back better in 2010!

This is second hand information so take it with a grain of salt.

The TTFF should have advertise this they might have been able to load up 2-3 plane load

That would have been a real nice lime

It include food and hotel and game ticket as well
And is a real nice hotel and is like you is a VIP

Football / Let Latas be the decoy

« on: November 15, 2005, 09:21:38 AM »

All we need is one goal to turn the pressure back onto Bahrain.

They lock in on Latas so we should use him as a decoy.

Let latapy come deep like yorke was doing to receive the ball from the defense if they send 3 men to mark him good that is 3 men get leave out already.

He they not tight on him he could turn and play the through ball, he is we best passer on the team any way.

Or Send latas on the left and go down the right.

Use him as a decoy if the crowd him space will open up else where.

Now is time for Carlos, Birchall, Whitley and Spann to get their goals.

Let Latas draw them in midfield and let they mark Stern and Yorke Man to Man.


Once we get the first goal then we could focus the play through latas and finish them off.

3 men on Latapy could be the best thing for we if we use it right cause our biggest problem will be getting behind Bahrain.

Shots from long distance is a must
Birchall need to shoot whole day the keep is not safe we will get plenty rebounds

ALyuh need to be more Thankfull Jump and an celebrate

Alyuh men supposed to have the stadium constantly jumping and leading the way
Man vex cause wagonist have ticket

WHat kind of shit attitude is that.

We should be glad man want to buy tickets.
TnT aint have no die hard football fans just people at different level of passion.


I cant believe alyuh men complaining about lining up for 2 hours to get in and real crowd and push and thing.

Boy ketch your self

ALL you have to do is aline your self behind a big bamssee thing and is jam jam for 2 hours.
Like you never went a carival down independance sq and had to move through crowd or what.


This kind of thing is what we been waiting for this is what we need for every TnT world cup game.


Alyuh men want to complain about the players on the field but alyuh vibes real sour in the stands.

everybody had to be jumping whole match. we should be glad for all this drama for the game this is what we want.


Stands empty - man vex

Stands full man more vex

if you dont want the ticket give it to somebody who glad to go and see the game!

Football / The Long Ball is actually we strategy

« on: November 14, 2005, 09:43:42 AM »

Men Arguing bout the long ball but that is clear instrutions from Bennie Man.
And I personnaly think it make sense.

If you look into the game you will see that for the first 5 mins of each half when ever Jack get the ball we go with the long ball.

I think the reason being we usually start slow and give up early goals so this is Bennie man tactics to keep the play in the next half.

Boom kick it and let them fight for it up there.


The other thing is If Dog and Lawrence have the ball at their feet if the side sitting back like mexico was we could build it
Other wise we need to kick it long if the team extend the pressure, at some points Bahrain was presuring in our half and we need to be careful of bad pass.

We need our midfield to receive the ball and build it from there because trying to build from the back is a risky thing.

Dog and Tallman is accidents waiting to happen with the ball at they feet

John was real nervous only bad pass and miscontrol whole day.

Spann was better than all of them but still bad compared to his usually good passing standards.
If Men start to mark out latapy again in the second leg

We might have to move spann back into his usually midfield possition to create and let Cyd or Sancho hold down the right back.

Carlos also seem to have them men under control so we need to get him more and more involved not just wide but also central.

Also periodically switch him on the left like we did against mexico to unsettly the Bahrain defense.

Football / Since Tickets sell out so quick the TTFF make a loss

« on: November 11, 2005, 12:43:23 PM »

they could have bump it up to

$300 $500 or even $500 $1000

if man in TnT willing to pay big money.

That would have cut down the crowd real quick.

But poor people would have get leave out but that is not the issue it is a findraiser for TTFF so they have to approach it as maximum dollars


If TTFF had a lil sense there is so much thing they could have do to raise money

Example

1) Raffle 5000 tickets $5 a ticket sell the Raffle tickets in schools (Just to say well we not leaving out the children)

2) Organize a big All inclusive fete for big wigs corporate sponsors $5000 a ticket you get a game ticket food drinks party and photos with Jack or Bennie Man

3) Put a next 10,000 Tickets on Ebay let man bid up the price

4) Sell a next 2500 through Bwee in conjuntion with a plane ticket $500 US Bwee Take $250US TTFF take $250US

5) Organize a fundraising competition The group that raises the most funds gets 40 Tickets send prize 20 tickets etc
Nuff group would have enter

6) Introduce Additional Tiered seating so Behind Goal is less than midfield etc etc install ushers and seat numbers.

There are a million and one ways to make money from this


And you know the sad thing about this whole thing is come next week World Cup or No World cup if TnT have a practice game against Mexico or Costa Rica the stadium go be mostly empty.
and the TTFF go be grousing about Lack of Support and financial loss.


Is situation like this that does prove that these men and them not ready.
The reason the TTFF is broke is because they chose to be broke.

Even poor man sclapers making money this weekend real money.

Football / Local Based Beware Real me Flying Back Home

« on: November 10, 2005, 08:16:58 AM »

I just trying to rounds up a squad to go Queens to watch the game and thing

A man tell meh
"Why watch on TV when you can see live"

Everybody riding out Look like is just me stuck here

Earlier this week I get an email from Bwee $200 US Round Trip from JFK

Imagine how cheap that is so you know nuff men going home for the game.

You know Jack like money and these US based men paying $100US for ticket and thing Normal Normal so watch aluh self down they.


I dont think buying tickets go be a problem cause is money so man go sell

The question is whether or not you can get in the stadium that will be the issue.


If it was me I camping Friday night in the Parking lot so I first in line.

Take care when you reach they
They say Stadium Full but we have the Big screen in the oval

Nov 19th Deja vu


Just make sure your mother big antenna working good so you could pick up the game on TTT.

Nuff Nuff men not getting in this stadium.

Hopefully nothing Bad will happen.

Football / I wonder what Guatemala doing right now???

« on: November 07, 2005, 03:37:38 PM »

What ever it is I hope they let Bahrain know what it is so they can go and do it after Nov 16th

It is a sad day when your world cup campaign is at an end.

Bahrain's day is soon at hand.
When they will be hanging out with the Guatemalians.

Maybe we should set them up for a group counseling session.
