« on: June 25, 2015, 10:09:00 AM »There is nothing laudable or nothing deserving by alluding to the implicit demise of our TTFA- like them or not , they are there for a purpose. Like the present elected officials in government- however when apparent external forces are working against the TTFA to ensure its demise or to make the look bad it smells smack foa Colonial legacy of " divide and conquer"I in as much provided the answer that would appear to be a rationale - however from the onset I must have missed reading that this was the intent. I must be missing where the team is playing asateamratner than individuals different teams, I must be missing Luton how with a month to go that the team is unserious preparation- oh ho - creat an opportunity to providesomefundsfor playersmakethemhappy call itwhatyouwantat this time and leh we swallow that for the common good.Timing - timing - don't you think this league or whatever this is being played out would have been better served Asa prelude to the women's WCqualifiers?
Planning planning- what is the intent and long term purpose of this? How does this coincide with team preparations forPanam games?
Ah boi nothing more than political patronage
The WPL is specifically timed to prepare the girls for PanAm and Olympics as it appeared that there was no preparation in place. This is why the league was "rushed". Currently, the Senior Womens Team are playing a series of matches vs the foreign players. The national players should play 8 - 10 decent games (including WPL) as preparation.
Also, WoLF could have worked alongside WPL to ensure there was limited disruption to their league.
Look nah yuh could only fool some of the people some of the time - good one good strategic ploy - political mileage gained- we prepare teams for games - we sidestep TTFA and we sheet come out smelling like perfume- yes boi the people of TnT real easy going boi throw a hungry dog ah bone and they eat it up like prime steak yes allyuh good good call bravo - success comes under all kinda guises. I fuh one seeing through the sheets IMHO
I didn't understand a lot of your last statement, but I get the drift: that somehow the government believes that a 6 week womens league will win them the election. Ok, that's your opinion, fair enough. I actually find that far more unbelievable than the reasons I gave you. As for sidestepping TTFA, it's kinda difficult to sidestep something that isn't there!
I could see why the target is now focus onthe ladies, the men's teams have already been paid off and infiltration has probably been put in place- there is no reason for our coach to witness the sort of lacklustre performance as we most recently had . I believe that there is there are workings amist to destroy Otto ensure what the TTFA has supported does not meet with success. Now whomever appears to be working on the women to buy their favour. IMHO
Our plyers now are been torn and caught up Ina political hot potato

"I know the needs of the people, who can defend them better than a sportsman?" --- Pamphile Mihayo, former captain of TP Mazembe (2010 FIFA World Club Championship finalist), currently assistant coach at the same club, upon commenting on his intention to stand during parliamentary elections in DR Congo.
This is like sayingiknow the needs of the artist and those in cultural aspects of life who can advocate best? - leh we put Gypsy dey?
Pure incompetent rubbish and what a myopic way of choosing a candidate! If people are so easily swayed by this talk then the price of suffering will be paid for such ignorance.
Ps
Question- does the minister have any personal intentions of paying back the Moines that was given to him as part of the payments for 2006 WC ( oops looks like another patronage move) by the government ?
If I could recall it was for monies owing to the players by the then SA , under the agreement published then, the players would pay the money back once they continued to pursue funding from the source. Hahaha big joke like that was going to happen!
In retrospect that public gesture is now looking like another buy out of potential voters - the MO of this governance- they really say anyone could be had and bought- ah looking for hpuse and land inTobago -

There is something perplexing, sinister and self aggrandizing about the manner in which this is all unfolding. In one breath, the man is proclaiming that he is now standing up to corruption and advocating for integrity - throwing out literary allusions" not that I love .... Les but I love TnT more" , apologies to Shakespeare, Julius Caesar. Oh spare the attempts at platitudes of ethical practice - and then in one breath almost take solace in how ypu acquired evidence by taping a conversation while one is under duress and in the case of Gary Giffith without his consent and knowledge! Lawd how could you bold face so stand up for the champion of justice and righteousness? And what motivated this? Ooooo after you felt betrayed and after a night of reflection at a "hotel"- nah ah eh believing that a tiger just lost he stripes just so! Nah me thinks there is more to this stance!
Puzzling , when you consider that he claimed to have submitted this information to the Integerity Commission two years ago! Puzzling in that back then there was no public declaration or public desire to come straight and denounce the corruption. Puzzling in the manner in which evidence was gathered- what was the reasoning back then? Is it conceivable that one knew that one day his fate may depend on deeds like this?
Sinister in the timing and the motive- like a tru Shakespearean tragic hero- moved by revenge, susceptible to human frailties: ( pick one) pride, jealousy, envy, greed arrogance, desire for power, feelings of infallibility and betrayal ( et tu KPB)!
There is also a " self seeking self righteous " holier than thou" grandstanding that almost seems to create this martyr like complex - " I am ding this for the good of the nation" I must rid TnT of this wicked plague of corruption. What happens here in TnT is far more greater than an international scandal and I must be the one to stop it as I was the one who put the wicked one in power! Ah a rose by any other name is still a rose! Pot calling the kettle black is simply foolishness at the end of the day. JW is finding out that cockroach has no business in hen party!
On a final note, given the "climes " in TnT is not this stance paramount to calling for the actualization of threats? Would that choice be nobler to pursue than waiting for the time of extradition? Would the alternative rectify all wrongs in the public eye and public sympathy be overflowing ?
Instead of being castigated as a rouge and suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortunes, I could see how speaking with reckless abandon and calling on almost inciting threats could be an underlying motive here.
Whatever the strategy, this is making for one heck of a "political soap opera " of tsunami like proportion I look forward to waking each day and reading each day for another episode of " Another World" " Days of our Lives" or " As the Stomach turns" or as lyrics from an older Kaiso " woe is me shame and scandal in the " party" yuh friend is yuh enemy and yuh never know ah say woe is me ah getting betrayed by the people who ah thought was fuh me"

« on: June 20, 2015, 08:51:56 AM »Sancho and the MOS ceeates a football league for women in the country that could have far reaching benefit for women in the region and possibly the world. If that happens and this league takes off, Tim Tee must resign. He and his office are useless. By the way, did he show up at the inauguration of the league? Probably not.
Before jumping to conclusions regarding the potential viability of this league, have you given thought to the sustainability of the structures in place to ensure it goes beyond this time period? Who is overseeing this? What sponsorship is in place ? What is the level of commitment? What is the salary cap for coaches and players? What is the season of play! Is this a tournament of viable self sustains league?
Before we go adoring praises, consider the timing and the political motives- these initiatives sadly appears to be not separated from political will and given the impending elections, could be conceivably seen as having an end result to gain political mileage as oppose for the good of football and its development in this country.

Regardless of political will and party affinity, I believe that all due respect usa be accorded to the office of PM. It appears that this is lacking ,we have taken to liberties to address the person in office like we do a friend; the media has propagated in part a public shaming of elected individuals in the manner i which stories are revealed .
I believed that if the text of our PM 's victory speech could be published, one would read of great hope , great promises anda vision of a unified TnT .five years later under this current leadership the Right Honourable leader has failed to live up to these ideals- the weight of Mao practice, incompetence and poor judgements by some of those supportive ministers have tarnished of what could have been a defining legacy of our first female PM . I was open and willing to accept that this promise of change would uplift and stand up to corruption,crime and transformTnT as a safe nd desirous destination for many to grace its shores and for some to return and contribute to our proud history. Today I have not seen ou Right Honourable leader successfully taken a stance of accountability and demand resolutions of grave criminal activities which continue to cast a shadow upon the island. Firing ministers and replacing them are mere acts or attempts of managing incompetency Anderson of judgement in putting them in positions of authority without truly assssing competency and integrity .
Today, whatever nd however we judge,we must first consider the weight of leadership nd the office of PM. If the robe does ot fit, time to do the dignify thing and respectfully decline the next elections

Never in the history of TnT politics have I seen or read of such disreputable behaviour of ministers or government officials. Dating back from the 50's to this present day. There were those in different parties that were allegedly involved in scandals and corruption but in our present climate, the magnitude and frequency of reporting and accusations is of a paramount scale.
Consider as well the ease with which these scandals flow in the rail press and the manner in which ministers are addressed. For the most, ministers are simply referred to by their first names , even the PM, onmany instances when spoken of in both print and electronic media is addressed by her first name . It appears to methatacertain reverence ,a dignity .arespect is sadly lacking.what happened tithe title ,the right honourable .......... ? Is the pm not worthy of such respect? Whatever are the opinions of many,I think that the manner of respect or honour among politicians have diminished to an all time low.
Sadly,what we are witnessing is indicative of a moral decay that has permeated our society and there are too many in governance , who should be setting the example of morality and ethical conduct are choosing the opposite. What they are cultivating is a generation of . Gangstar" mentality, corruptible pathways to achieve riches and callous disregard of fellow human beings.

The manner of this report is mind blogging. This reads like mere foolery. Is like they want to offer him a crown (yet ’twas not a crown neither,). Seeing how the ambitious ideas and the craving for political power has ruin many a politician, he would probably jump at the offer of a seat at least once—but, for all that, to common thinking, he would probably pretend to not wanting it. Then hoping they offered it to him again, then he put it by again—but, to common thinking, he was very loath to lay his fingers off it. And then they offered it the third time. He put it the third time by. And still, as he refused it, the rabblement hooted and jumped and waved their chapped hands and threw up their sweaty night-caps and uttered such a deal of stinking rum infested breath you would think that all manner of thinking have been sucked from their inner craniums.
In that kinda country crowd I durst not laugh for fear of opening my lips and receiving the bad air of rotting promises and senseless ability to see the foolishness and incompetence of the choice ahead of them.

This belief that being the best among piss poor playing nations in the Caribbean is actually something to be proud about..smdh! The goal should always be to qualify for the WC which means you have to be one of the better teams in CONCACAF
Why bother talking about WC qualification when we not even the best in the Caribbean? Caribbean Cup success is a stepping stone to the Gold Cup and a bye to the later rounds of WC qualification. GC is a must for Hex preparation. Then comes the chance of a WC spot.
Cause WC is the ultimate goal- everything in between are stepping stones and trials to gage where we are relative to others.

Hear nah- the ideal of"fixing society" seems like ah ideal but is like to shovel out ah latrine hole the more you shovel the more people dumping on it!
To objective the issues by looking at society is absolving current individuals from the nonsense they all claim to be standing for. The ideals of one man trying to cling to the past ; another coming on as an appointed saviour yet messing down the place and who gets caught up in the middle?
Who profits when a team or individual athletes are successful? Look how quick all them politicians does run for photo opts and give away house where are these same politicians when these athletes catching dey arse?
I say all ah them ah have tuh clean they own sheet and flush before they start sprouting platitudes and virtues.

With nah yuh really expect people to believe that yuhwas so innocent and nieveL wait nah when'll yuh thought allyuh make big money and allyuh drinking and celebrating as friends allyuh was talking about the piety of Robin Hood or how blessed you were to be so privileged?
Come nah is you and yuhpartner here yuh talking about? So tell meh yuh did not have a conscience? Yuh could not stand up and ask why the 2006 players eh getting they promised WC money? Nah Mr Oliver yuh sounding likes remake of the Jamacian comedian today so letme find asonetodeicate to what Hhearing and reading about:
Adapted from Shaggy's It was'nt Me
(Yo', man) Yo'
(Open up, man) What do you want, man?
(They just caught me) You let them catch you?
(I don't know how I let this happen) With who?
(Meh buddy from all these years you know) Man
(I don't know what to do) Say it wasn't you
(Alright)
Finally they coming in
Creeping in on what we did
Picture this, we were both caught with ah money ting
[Album version - Picture this, we had hands in the cookie jar
How could I forget that I had
Singing an extra cheque
All this time i was wicking there
I never know what I signing here'
How you can grant the man access to FIFA dollars
Trespasser and a witness while you cling to your power
You better watch your back before he turn into a viper
Best for you and the situation not to call the beaner
To be a true player you have to know how to play
If he say a million convince me say a dey
Never admit to a word when he say
And if he claims and you tell him deny no way
But we get caught (It wasn't me)
Saw me signing cheque on the hotel floor (It wasn't me
I even had a dollar in the office (It wasn't me)
I even caught me on camera (It wasn't me)
I go Make sure they knows it's not me and lead them on the right prefix
Whenever you should see him make he threading flex
As funny as it seems to be it not that complex
Seeing is believing ah better change meh specs
You know he not gonna be worrying 'bout things from the past
Hardly recollecting and then he'll go to noontime mass
But if he start ah rant ah know I better run fast
I saw when he buss the marks (It wasn't me)
Heard the words that I told him (It wasn't me)
Heard the money get louder (It wasn't me)
He stayed until it was over
How could I forget that I had
Signed an extra cheque
All this time I was wucking there
I never took my eyes off the prize
Gonna tell him that I'm sorry
For the pain that I would cause
I've been listening to the stories
It makes no sense at all
We should tell the people that we sorry
For the pain that We caused
You may think that you're a player
But you're completely lost

« on: June 14, 2015, 08:43:31 AM »
I have been pondering how much slant and propaganda is been used by the local press to sway the electorate. What has happened to responsible journalism?
What's the role of the media? Should media agencies be free of bias and report facts? Is the TnT media been manipulated by specific parties ?
If we review the reporting in the local press( newspapers, radio and TV) are their distinct biases or affinities to specific parties?
I realize that there is no law that prevents a political leader from owning a newspaper but where does the ethics of reporting conflicts with the mandate of the owner's will? Well at least the agenda for some newspapers is evident but it begs the question as to which local press is benefitting most from government funds to report Ina particular manner?
I am interested as to what the bill is for the UNC ad campaigns of the pm Selah in poster style in the Guardian almost ona daily basis?

« on: June 14, 2015, 08:28:28 AM »How can Mr Sancho get sponsors on board yet the TTFF can't?? Is it because Mr Sancho can be trusted and can guarantee where the money will be spent etc? My thought is that Mr Sancho is proactive and wants to improve the country's sports. But for him to help the organisation need to help themselves and be proactive, get the house in order and improve. Stop the moaning get off their asses get companies on board to help to sponsor and be self sufficient. If my business is struggling the government won't bail me out so why should they keep bailing out the national team because of mismanagement.
You call that trust? Government acquiring sponsorship trust!think think
Ah smelling one dirty rat and stinking rotten chat- when FS stated that ah ministry - a government minstry could access and accept sponsorship from companies! Yuh EH see see potential for kickbacks- payoffs and money going into pockets for possible contracts or other favours!
This is just pure nonsense or as FS admitted unheard of but allowed to happen and people putting the squeeze onTTFA- it would appear that if one is allowed to be a government minister and hold on to a post as SA to TFFA , that given all that transpired, yuh could see how potential access to siphoning funds could drain that organization.
Now layer all that with some political puppet coming on and now using their status to squeeze the lifeblood from the TTFA? I EH saying that some mismanagement may not have occurred and had there been accountable and transparent measures, just maybe all the tracking of revenues and expenses would not be open to debate.
As a Minister, could he not hire and mandate an independent audit of the association, track the ministry payouts and then streamline current funding? Hire an independent body if yuh want to ensure national team's financial request are accordingly deployed. Show that any sponsorship money acquired is deployed or allocated to national teams.
Yuh does winer if these ministers brains shifted with they intestines so what coming out of their thinking is pure sheet-
