Football / Lets reflect on our central defenders.
« on: October 25, 2009, 05:51:01 PM »
fellow forumites, as we all know, our chief nemesis this past hex was our defence! not that our midfield was any better , but i think we will all agree that our back line has left much to be desired!
we started the campaign with our wing backs up in the air, and ended it with some resolve, but as we have all seen, our central defence was way below parr!
now this problem could always be fixed with the right coaching and playing invironment, question iz, do we have the players with the potential to become great central defenders?
lets examine the available players! = MAKKAN HISLOP, pros= good in the air, reads the game fairly well, has the hieght to compete in this position, flaws = slow slow slow, gets beaten easily and has no recovery speed!
RADANFAH ABUBAKAR, pros= very determined player , reads the game very well, has good aerial prowess has the size and skill to check forwards, flaws= gets caught out way to easy, has 0 recovery speed= SLOW! makes too many mistakes in the defensive third, but all this could be fixed, except for the issue of speed!
JULIUS JAMES this guy could be the only bright spot in the whole of the central defence, pros= he has loads of SPEED!! reads the game OK/ fairly well, has ah proper aerial game, recovers well, goes forward well and travel with the ball comfortably @ his feet. flaws= gets beaten way too easily, gets caught out quite often, and ball watches more than any defender we have.
PRIMUS. First time i saw this bredder was against mexico, and he was quite impressive for ah green mango! the bredder stayed in formation, played well within his limitation, reads the game fairly well, made sensible passes, closed down the lanes in the defensive third, i don't know much about this kid, but from what i heard, he has recovery speed! jury still out on primus. forumites please elaborate if possible.
lastly, YOHANCE MARSHALL. I don't know ah single thing about this bredder except that we was good on the collegate level and an all round standout! does he have speed? i certainly hope so! can he read the game well? i hope so too! can anyone elaborate ?
all in all, this is what we have tuh work with for the next campaign, some of these fellas are ah hot mess with no top level clubs and experience to teach them their trade. and while some of them are promising, bottom line is, do we have the potential to improve in central defence? an area where we clearly loss the battle in this past campaign.
they were slow , disorganized, and made too many text book mistakes that cost us in the end, can we improve on this, and put forth ah capable defence that could confidently defend against the offensive sharpness of the concacaf's top 5?
forumites, can you put forth your views or shine some light on thje subject? and also elaborate on players that the rest of us may know little of.
thanx. positive

Football / T&T football! is it an abomination ?
« on: October 12, 2009, 04:03:30 PM »
Mods please let this one live.
OK ladies and gents of the jury/forum, we are gathered here today tuh talk football, but the thing iz, do we have anything here to be proud of ?
night before i sat @ my tV, by my self, watching us play like rank armatures and getting blown out by a costa rice team that was bumming, on a frequently watched cable net work gol TV! now could you imagine how many ppl must have watch this game from all over the footballing world??
now i don't know bout allyuh , but it was particularly embarrassing for me to watch. how did we come from being competitors in a WC, standing toe to toe with europe and south america's elite (paraguay)to being whiping boys in the region??
was it jack, camps, the government AKA ministry of sports. was it pancho, wim, latas, who was to blame for this gruesome campaign ??
MY VIEW
first of all, we didn't have a good coach. wim was an assistant turn head coach, pancho was clearly clueless, using players out of position and experimenting all the way through, latas, EVEN MORE CLUELESS! basically did the same thing as pancho, used players out of position and clearly blanked the men who could've done better.
i believe we coulda made SA if we played the right players and had a proper coach right after we lose out on the GC qualification.
why was this line up not an option.
goal keeper
cyd gray sancho lawrence avery john
tinto hyland carlos/ whitley collin samuel
jones. glenn/roberts.
why was this not an option?? IS IT BC THE COACHES WERE CLUELESS, OR OUR FEDERATION IS AN ABOMINATION ?
WHAT'S YOUR VIEWS FORUMITES ??

« on: September 19, 2009, 04:28:47 AM »
Yes ppl, maybe this might be the beggining of the assult on hardened criminals, that is , if archie decides to work with the government to ammend these old colonial laws.
for decades justice has been slowed up by the long drawn out process of the appealant court and the privy council, and as a result IMO, has been the catalyst for the criminal culture that now exist in TNT.
i also hope that this will be the end of the privy council, and we can decide our own affairs without relying on the old colonial justice system in england.i say hang them fast and jail them just the same! this sh!t getting outa hand now, is time for reform! who say yes? positive.

Football / DID JACK SELL OUT THE CAMPAIGN?
« on: September 06, 2009, 03:18:46 PM »
I was chilling @ the PC last night thinking of the utter crapp that took place the last three yrs and was wondering how come things went so terribly wrong after there were positive signs of progress.
how does such a success story experience such ah drastic turn around, from competing with the worlds elite to losing out to regional minnovs (grenada/ antigua barbuda) ? how does someone like russell latapy, who's seen it all, played on the highest level make such horrible decisions, from team selections to poor subs and on field tactics?
how could something that had so much potential go so waywardly astray ?
the only sensible conclusion that i see fit to label this failed campaign will be a total conspiracy by jack and latapy, too sell out either to mexico or honduras for financial gain, i can't see no other conclusion! i doubt latapy so clueless! and i doubt jack so forkin stupid! i'm serious! my feeling is dem boy sell the team out for paper.

Football / Every coach in concacaf know's how to beat the soca warriors!
« on: August 30, 2009, 04:33:31 AM »
I was just on the SMB and ah man had a thread titled " every manager in the prem knows how to beat sunderland".
now mind you , the guy wasn't saying much, but the little he did say kinda made me think of my own warriors since i saw simularities between the two teams, sunlun and the socawarriors,paticularly how we concede silly goals and gets shut out even on our own home turf.
so far we are very much a pridactable team , especially when playing the top three teams in concacaf. we get caught out a lot and set pieces seem to be our criptonite.
i don't know whether or not the coach is aware of how predictable we are, but assuming he does, ah wonder what steps are being made tuh fix it.
BTW this is the thread from the SMB. http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=437097

Football / Dennis lawrence, asset or serious liability??!!
« on: June 17, 2009, 04:14:22 PM »
I've been poundering on the defence since we loss back tuh back, trying tuh make sense of it all, ah went back and watch some of the tapes on earlier games, and yuh know what i came up wid? dennis lawrence @ the mids of most the goals.
it seem's like him and ince have ah serious communication problem! the first evidence of this was the first bermuda game, the fella leave out kereem smith cross the ball in the middle lawrence with all his aerial advantage allow the ball tuh fall to the kicker and boom goal.
the el salvador game , the 1st goal, lawrence running back tuh cover the far post when the man already kicking the ball and score .
the nashville game lawrence stand up and watch donovan cross fall right tuh altidor who out runned aklie tuh put pass ince, no attempt tuh head the ball out, nothing.
the 2nd goal he rushed altidor like ah real rookie over committing and selling himself to ah simple small goal beat and boom goal again.
in the costa rica game we all know what he did on the 2nd goal, yes! he head the ball straight @ the scorer and rush him while over committing himself again , just like the altidor goal with the same reslts.
on the 3rd goal he went to defend the flanks, when the rican fake him with ah cross, lawrence jump, the man blow pass him and pass it off for a goal.
now i doh know bout allyuh , but i can't take no more of this incompetant defending! is this man an asset or ah liability.
remember crouch's goal, well lawrence was the one who switch off on crouch to mark someone else and left sancho wid 6-8 crouch. i doh know ,but is yrs now i watching him do all kinda c&nt and costing us all kinda grief. JMO.

Football / Where did the TTFF go wrong ?
« on: June 14, 2009, 06:09:06 PM »
It's sunday evening and ah want tuh talk national football, but it seem that all week after the Wednesday's game the board has been like ah ghost town, dull!
no press conferences , no reassurance from jack that we definitely making it," doh worry we will qualify , i promise that", yuh know , the type of optimism that jack alone could bring no matter how bad we doing.
latas look like he gone in hiding, no articles by lasana, fuentes, or senile alvin. what's going on!!
well after watching the tapes and evaluating the performances of the warriors, i came tuh this conclusion. these men not giving their all on purpose! yes i said it, their hearts are not in it.
i believe if these guys were better prepared and had some positive incentive , we would've won @ least 4 out of the five game we played so far!
listen, el saldvador was our game tuh win, it was evidently given to us on a platter, honduras was pure shyte, we should've destroyed them @ home, the U.S. was the only team that i felt had the jump on us and we could chalk that experience up to collateral damage.
costa rica! please , we could've beaten them good and proper if we just kept our concentration for 90+ mins.
but why is it that we allowed el salvador to get off the hook and honduras and costa rica tuh come in our back yard and steal points, ah have ah feeling that these boys did not care and just wanted the caps tuh keep them in europe on the paper trail! JMO! after all the TTFF did blacklist them, and called them greedy outdated mercenaries,
jack still owes them money, they get call up to the national team by text messages, fellas doh hear from the TTFF if they were not selected @ least telling them hard luck guys, but we doh need yuh for this games/games. just no common courtesy whatsoever.
who would want tuh risk their a$$ for such an ungrateful disorganized federation, i know i wont! after all, look how they treated anthony noriega.
these fellas making damn good money in europe tuh fack around and get a career ending injury for the national team.
take KJ last yr forinstance, you really believe that boy would make that mistake again, running 50/50 with ah keeper for the ball in an international match? i seriously doubt that.
i also come up with the theory BC of how differant the locals game is compared with the foreign based. the locals hustle more, grind more , put them selves about more, that's BC they never taste jack's wrath, so they believe in the cause, but i believe them european based players with the exception of carlos , birchall and yorke said , " hell no! i not getting injured for these ppl".
now i will address ah differant angle! the stats so far on our performances. first of all, did you guys know that we only had two clean sheets for the whole campaign, and ince was not involved in none ?
we also conceded the most late goals of any team in the hex. we scored 6 goals so far and none came from our strikers, we've conceded 10 goals and most of them were soft goals.
9 for ince and 1 for williams. clayton ince is yet to produce ah clean sheet, from june 15th 08 to the present, while both williams and phillips has, and with the same defence.
i believe if we are tuh win another game and keep on winning , then we must do the following, change our central defence, lawrence and dog are serious liabilities, i could see james/ marshall/K jones playing those positions, scotland needs tuh ride pine from here on in.
ince has to do better and should be excluded for ah few games, the fella's age is showing , we need ah more mobile goal keeper, jan williams or marvin phillips.
and fitnness should be the order of the day until the 12 of august. if we work on those things , then i feel we could still finish this race in good standings. positive

man was crying , give scotty ah chance he's in form yadiyadiyah, it's been 5 games for scotty and yet still, not even an assist. 4 games for KJ and 1 goal, glenn had an oportunity as well with 2 goals from 5 apperances, and not one assist.
roberts played 1 game and got ah cobo in the first cuba game= 1 goal 1 assist. after that he never touched another ball except the cobo he got against dominican rebulic of which he scored even though he only got 10 mins playing time.
our best offensive threat left tuh languish in exile, after the man was the top scoreer in his league@ one time.
we never stood ah chance wid this coach! he left out most our best players to experiment.
lets hope he's gone by next game. just like sven!

General Discussion / How many members actually have been to laventille??!!
« on: March 06, 2009, 07:42:23 PM »
It hurts my heart to hear the way some members does talk about laventille and surounding areas, but how many of them has actually been to laventille, and i don't mean pass through in a vehicle, but spend some time! maybe listening to radoes, or check a friend/chick, play a game, went a party, wedding , furneral ,visit relatives?
i was born and raised in laventille up till i was 5yrs old, then we ride out , but i would still visit relatives, friends, and spend weekends and holidays, and tuh tell yuh the truth, it ain't as bad as ppl make it out to be.
there's a strong sense of community in laventille that yuh don't see nowhere else on the island, @ least i've never experienced it else where except arima.
it was a very nice time on the hill as a youngster, with a lot of things to do.
how many of you know that laventille was a fort during colonial times and the 1st world war, and there's a lot of cool things to see and also things for kids to play with, i still remeber the ice cream trucks passing by and the kids running to buy ice cream?
there are cliffs and waddies, watering holes, springs, magazines(soldiers hiding stations from the war) tons of birds and wild life, quarries, a huge grassy area like a medow where kids play and fly kites right behind the church, i haven't been there in a decade But i believe that open medow is still there.
most ppl on the hill were decent hard working law abiding citizens, and neighbors looked out for each other, the charles were one of the biggest families on the hill, and i could still here charlo and the hariggan brothers tuning pans in their back yard.
there was no stealing and gangster business when i was a kid , and boy what a big place, there were @ least 2 football fields up the hill in laventille, and one down in the quarry in eastern quarry/ prisga land.BTW there were 2 quarries as well.
now i know laventille is not the same as it used to be , but where is?! oxford st had real decent hoity toity ppl living there ,with cic and st. joseph convent right down the block, and penny commisiong was born and raised there too, now oxford st full ah killers, with G unit right on chafford court.
but seriously , who ever been up the hill? and who's never been?

Football / We have the best team in concacaf on paper!!
« on: February 28, 2009, 05:51:59 PM »
On a day like today when football is king (SUPER SATAURDAYS),and most of us sit in front our laptops TVs etc to watch our favorite club teams compete, do we ever stop to think how our players match up with so called top notch world classers the likes of henry , ibrahimovich, del pero ect.
i often do ! and i'll tell you what, i think if most of our players got the opportunity to play in those leagues, they will do just as well with the right coaching.
i saw in germany 06, 10 men played on the level of world classers and came out well, i also saw the EPL's best catch dey nenen tuh beat ah bunch of league one and MLS players for 80 mins and had to cheat to get an edge.
players the like of roonie , owens, gerard, lampard, ferdinand, beckham, cole.
mexico, and the U.S. would've been out played, trumped and discarded, but we hung in and competed without a natural left back and a make shift right back and still held our own, that's why i think we have the best team in concacaf.
we also have new young players who have world class potential, fellas like hyland , daniel, roberts,julius james and jagdeosingh.
my point is , with the right coach and players playing and getting exposure in the higher leagues, we could beat any team in concacaf, BC we have the best players on paper.

Football / Yorke facing long ban.
« on: February 13, 2009, 11:48:56 PM »
Yorke facing long ban.
By: Ian Prescott (Express).
Captain Dwight Yorke will miss Trinidad and Tobago's next two World Cup qualifiers-against Honduras (March 28) and the United States (April 1)-and may be suspended for as many as four matches due to his actions at the end of Wednesday's game against El Salvador in San Salvador.
The final whistle had already been blown, ending the match at 2-2 following El Salvador's equaliser which came with the final kick of the match, in the fifth minute of added-on time. Yorke, who had already picked up a yellow card for a simple foul earlier in the match, was then issued a straight red after presumably less than complimentary remarks directed to the Mexican referee.
T&T team manager David Muhammed confirmed yesterday that Yorke received two cards on the night, a yellow and then a red. He said the 37-year-old defensive midfielder faced a two- or three-match ban, but hoped for the lesser sentence.
However, former FIFA referee Osmond Downer felt the veteran may be out for as many as four of Trinidad and Tobago's nine remaining World Cup qualifying matches.
"From where we were on the bench, it appeared that Dwight received a straight red after the final whistle was blown," said Muhammed. "From what I understand, it was insurbordination to the referee and would have been a straight red card.
"He got a yellow earlier and he also had a yellow from the Guatemala match (in 2008) so that is an automatic one-match suspension.
"Then he got the red card, so we are looking at possibly two or three matches out."
Muhammed reported that, unlike what normally happens, they had not yet received a referee's report on the match.
He felt Yorke's reaction might have been out of frustration with the ref when the match went beyond the four minutes which the fourth official added on for injuries at the end of the 90-minute relegation period.
Muhammed, who described Yorke as a natural leader on the field, said the T&T technical staff will meet and formalise a plan to deal with his absence.
Downer, a FIFA referees assessor and former head of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Referees Association, believes that Yorke's situation is serious enough that he may have a long suspension.
Yorke's case is similar to that of Peru's Jose Paolo Guerrero. The FIFA Disciplinary Committee handed striker Guerrero a six-game ban for insulting the match official during his country's 2010 World Cup qualifying defeat against Uruguay last year.
The game was played on June 17 in Montevideo. The suspension, which is accompanied by a fine of CHF10,000, meant the Hamburg player cannot represent his country in a competitive match until June 6, 2009, when Peru host Ecuador in another qualifier.
"If Dwight had gotten a yellow card, followed by another, the referee would have then issued him a red card and he would have gotten a one-match suspension," Downer said. "But from what I saw, he seems to have gotten a yellow first, and then a straight red. I have seen a lot of that, and if that is the case then Dwight could face a two-, three- or a four-match ban."

Football / Bad decisions will continue to cost us !
« on: October 12, 2008, 05:38:02 AM »
I've been following T&T football since the days of ron la forest, sammy nuwellen, warren archibald and co.
i've seen ppl leaving the oval with tears in their eyes, ppl cussing, ppl arguing, it was all so sad to behold. but yuh know what's even sadder ? to see three decades later and we still didn't get it right.
there's no doubt who's to blame for our added failures but i must say that our coaches has also not helped or made it easier.
from alvin corneal all the way down has had a stubborn approach to coaching and took matters into their own hands which was rewarding for them and brought satisfaction to their ego, but totally ignored the countries needs of which they were entrusted.
gally did the same with marlon morris one of our better goalscorers in the nov 1989 game whom he left out of the squad and as a result suffered ah loss that left us traumatized for yrs.
bertille st claire who didn't play dread lock players for what ever reason, followed his own course instead of the needs of the country.
leo beenhakker did his own thing when he refused to play russell latapy whom he used all through the campaign, but suddenly he wasn't good enough,and instead opted for evans wise ah frakoment bum!
now we have the same bloody forkin stinkin problem with pancho, how the hell yuh go play anthony wolf before two in form goalscoring players, who came through in the clutch . roberts who scored one of the vital goals that got us to the semi's and daniel who scored 3 goals in three matches.
i really trying to come to terms with this obvious mental disfunction on the path of these coaches, who seem to make horrendous decisions when it's most crucial.
i also think anton corneal should be to blame for bamboozling the coach and the coach him self have no clue what good players look like.
one more thing ! i'm not ah coach in no wise , and i sure corneal and pancho know far more football than me , so why they can't play players in their rightfull positions. if ah novice like me can see it why can't seasoned pros like them.
like carlos should be in the right back position, reason why! i've seen carlos play since 05 and to tell yuh the truth the man just don't impress me as a winger, to me cornell glenn has that position tailor made for him, also he can't see that daryl roberts is an attacking mid,the man can't see cyd gray is ah serious neurotic and does turn over the ball on the regular ? so can antone tell me why they continue down ah path that leading to failur ?!! may God help us.

Football / Warner on warpath over Yorke's recall to Sunderland.
« on: September 15, 2008, 03:44:01 AM »
Warner on warpath over Yorke's recall to Sunderland.
By: Kern De Freitas (Express).
NEVER AGAIN
It won't happen again.
That is the promise FIFA vice-president Jack Warner is making to Trinidad and Tobago after national captain Dwight Yorke missed T&T's CONCACAF World Cup qualifier away to the USA last Wednesday, having been recalled to English club Sunderland.
Warner has been involved in a war of words with Sunderland manager Roy Keane ever since and it has been reported that the former Manchester United midfielder responded by referring to both Warner and Yorke as "clowns".
Warner, the T&T Football Federation special adviser, described Keane as having a "mean streak", as well as being "callous" and "insensitive" to small countries like Trinidad and Tobago.
"Mr Keane was deliberately mischievous," Warner said yesterday during a press conference at the CONCACAF office in Port of Spain, called to object to the appointment of Israel Khan SC to the Commission of Inquiry into the Udecott affair.
"He (Keane) knew full well he wasn't going to play Dwight Yorke. He didn't even take him to Wigan," for Sunderland's Premiership match on Saturday, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Warner also slammed Keane for what he said was typical behaviour for the Irishman.
"He took [Yorke] from Trinidad knowing full well (that Yorke would not play) because that is the nature of Mr Keane. Mr Keane is the guy who broke a player's leg and said he did it deliberately. That's his claim to fame."
The CONCACAF head assured his audience that such a situation would not be repeated.
"...I am not surprised (by Keane's behaviour)... I'll tell you one thing, I'll tell you today it wouldn't happen again. If this country wants a player and the player wants to play, my colleagues and friends, the player will play. We gave in easily, possibly my fault, and we paid the price for it in the US (qualifier)."
Warner also pointed out that although advised by colleagues to take action over Keane's comments within FIFA, he would not do so due to concerns that the other T&T/Sunderland players-Carlos Edwards and Kenwyne Jones-might be victimised as a result.
The Chaguanas West MP also blasted the Government for what he claimed was a lack of financial support for the "Soca Warriors", saying T&T will qualify for the South Africa 2010 World Cup in spite of it.
"I want to end by telling you that we will qualify for South Africa, even though we haven't received a nickel from the Government to date," he indicated. "...We shall still qualify. Don't let your heart be troubled."

Football / stiil no press release from the TTFF !
« on: September 12, 2008, 05:46:20 PM »
It's been two whole days and counting and still no response from the TTFF or the coaching staff for our horrendous loss against the ever resilient US team ! and quite frankly i find that to be totally irresponsible and unprofessional, not to mention disrespectful to the die hard T&T football fans. 
now i for one is left to eat my words, and as a grown man, i could admit to being wrong on the way the coach has been performing his duties.
now i'm a football fan , and i do watch football from leagues all over the world, one in particular is the MLS.
i also had the privilege of watching anthony wolf, no disrespect to him , but there's no way that he has the talent and football sense that darrly Roberts posses, so why in two such important games as Guatemala @ home and the US away did he (wolf) got the nod over far better talents the like of DR and birchald ?
i was all for the coach and ah part of me still is , but i think that he sabotage our chances on wednesday when he excluded dennis lawrence for the less experienced makan hislop!!!! and that drove me up ah wall.
he had the players to @ least salvage ah draw, but he was stubborn in his selections particularly when he included hyland who was serving ah 2 game suspension when another capable midfielder could've been included, also the omission of DR & SJ.
i'm now left to think that we are dealing with ah fella / fellas who don't care bout the fans , only their principles.
i think maturana, corneal, or camps owes us some kind of solace as to why their half strategy failed and since they declined to do so, an apology is owed to us the fans,YES @ least an apology for not defending his choices in the press conference!
now i was confident of our chances up till now, even when bermuda beat us in trinidad i did not panic, but this time around the coaches tactics and team selection has rendered me in doubt of his ability to bring us to the next round of qualifying, and when i think he should've learned his lesson @ the marvin lee stadium on june 15th from his idiotic selections , by playing two similar styles forwards instead of players with alternate styles, and bringing on stephen david over attulla guerra who could've created better opportunities for our slow tired forwards.
he apologised when we loss to bermuda and promissed a victory in hamilton which was delivered when he picked the right squad of players.
so what is his problem by playing inept players like wolf, Toussant, A edwards, and leon. I'M STILL WAITING FOR A RESPONCE ON WHY HIS STRATEGY DIDN'T WORK AGAINST THE YANKS ON WENESDAY
his team selection should've went like this on wednesday.

i also had the privilege of watching anthony wolf, no disrespect to him , but there's no way that he has the talent and football sense that darrly Roberts posses, so why in two such important games as Guatemala @ home and the US away did he (wolf) got the nod over far better talents the like of DR and birchald ?
i was all for the coach and ah part of me still is , but i think that he sabotage our chances on wednesday when he excluded dennis lawrence for the less experienced makan hislop!!!! and that drove me up ah wall.
he had the players to @ least salvage ah draw, but he was stubborn in his selections particularly when he included hyland who was serving ah 2 game suspension when another capable midfielder could've been included, also the omission of DR & SJ.
i'm now left to think that we are dealing with ah fella / fellas who don't care bout the fans , only their principles.
i think maturana, corneal, or camps owes us some kind of solace as to why their half strategy failed and since they declined to do so, an apology is owed to us the fans,YES @ least an apology for not defending his choices in the press conference!
now i was confident of our chances up till now, even when bermuda beat us in trinidad i did not panic, but this time around the coaches tactics and team selection has rendered me in doubt of his ability to bring us to the next round of qualifying, and when i think he should've learned his lesson @ the marvin lee stadium on june 15th from his idiotic selections , by playing two similar styles forwards instead of players with alternate styles, and bringing on stephen david over attulla guerra who could've created better opportunities for our slow tired forwards.
he apologised when we loss to bermuda and promissed a victory in hamilton which was delivered when he picked the right squad of players.
so what is his problem by playing inept players like wolf, Toussant, A edwards, and leon. I'M STILL WAITING FOR A RESPONCE ON WHY HIS STRATEGY DIDN'T WORK AGAINST THE YANKS ON WENESDAY
his team selection should've went like this on wednesday.

Football / T&T is one of the cleanest playing teams in the world!!
« on: August 12, 2008, 07:30:59 AM »
I can't help but noticed since I've been watching T&T play competitive football how clean and respectful our players has conducted themselves in their style of play.
no sneaky elbows, deliberate fouls, stepping in the path of play, or kick downs after being left out . I've seen this type of behavior from top notch teams the world over, Brazil , Argentina , the world champs Italy, and Mexico just to name ah few.
could this be a TACTICAL part of the game that we refuse to implement, a style of play that could probably save us some goals and bring us success in the future. are we too soft ?
SHOULD WE PLAY A MORE PHYSICAL STYLE OF FOOTBALL ? OR CONTINUE WITH THIS GENTLE MAN FINEST STYLE THAT GETS US NOWHERE !!!!! positive.

Football / Calling MR Fuentes.

Mr Fuentes i happend to really enjoy the clips that you post of the national team training sessions every time there's an upcoming game, but i can't help but notice that since a certain member made a comment about the music on the clips, you ceased from posting them.
i don't think you should stop posting BC a few members can't deal with the soca music in the back ground. i don't care if the music loud soft or in between, i just enjoyed the training sessions, and i would only hope that you reconsider.
no disrespect to the members who post about the music, my statements were in no wise meant to be disruptive or malicious. positive.
