He did  mention- reduced bunch of our quality players. Let us not shoot the messenger, He does know something about Coaching,
 I tend to agree about the space / man marking problem.

Hart ain't going no way, I don't agree that he is not given the tools to succeed, He must be concerned that we don't have a strong bench . Remember prior to the Peru game he had a headache re selection.
 I think he has a new headache- How to strengthen this side with players from outside T&T.

Well after the showing or lack thereof against Peru. The only welcoming news is that Suarez  may not play, and we have to be better than we were against Peru. Someone knowledgeable of the game remarked that the problem facing local players is the lack of good coaching.

A life that has made a difference in so many ways will be remembered . Like you Patriot I am sure that he gave his life in loving service to humanity May your memories bring you comfort . Memory is a special place in our hearts where we can find comfort. In the treasured thoughts of those we hold dear, may it help to know that others care deeply and are remembering you with special thoughts.
 My prayers and best wishes in this dark night of the soul.

PSG Big players did not step up against City. Ronaldo did it  for Real. Watch Messi today in the second Leg.
 I cant wait to see the  French Trainer at the Gym today who boast that PSG is in the same league with Bayer/ Barcelona/ Real Madrid.  Le Blanc got a coaching lesson yesterday from City Boss.

Think of the Joy and pride in seeing the name of the players published in our local newspaper. Every Uncle Chester and Aunt Minerva will be beaming with pride, not to mention the players as motivation to make the final team. With all the bad press about Youth and Crime- Let us highlight the positives and eliminate the Negatives. As an added bonus - a photo shoot would be the icing on the cake.

 Hart has a problem, he needs some Aspirin for his headache. With Cato  and other regulars in the mix , the question is who will he pick and what is his best starting eleven . Nice headache to have and a strong beach will stop any complacency.  Thank You Warriors for bringing a lot of Joy to our people on Tuesday.

Today is Easter- We will Rise on Tuesday and against Guatemala. Stop looking for the Living among the Dead. Put on your Red- white and Black and go and support. Please don't leave your voice home. The win against the Vincy Heat was not pretty but we did grind out a Victory. Let us be thankful for the three points. It was a bad day for the team in terms of performance but it was Good Friday , maybe the lads were missing their hot Cross buns. Watch the progress it will be Easter Lilies on Tuesday.
 Happy Easter to all. Incidentally what happen to the match day Prayer. we need all the help we can get.

A good coach will fight for his players. Nothing wrong with that. A telephone call to Hart would have been a better route to take than a public outcry. Trying to embarrass the Coach publicly by mentioning a 33 year old just would not cut it. Time and Place Jeffrey, and it is not what you say but how you say it.
 Remember- Context.

I know how hard Ollie and his wife worked to build a good home. A decent man who fell for Jack Warner promises. jack had a spell over this man to do his bidding.  Overseas trips  and entitlement clouded his judgment
 His heart was in the right place re T&T football and he gave his everything to see T&T make a World Cup
 What a price to pay . But as a fellow poster said- How you make your bed you lie on it.

Mourinho  made 163 pounds a week, with that kind of money , one expects results. Curious as to what Russell was paid. Apples and Oranges, quite a misleading caption, actually I thought Russell was on the Chelsea coaching staff.

« on: December 09, 2015, 06:50:33 AM »

Blessings to all SWO . Meaning , purpose and Direction for the New Year and big up to our National team.
 I would have given the award to Joevin Jones, he showed up big time when we needed him most.
 Like Willian for Chelsea. However KJ gave his all for our team under Hart and that passion is what was missing over the years , not to mention his Leadership and his ability to motivate the younger players.
 King is pure class and machine like efficiency for the Women. Someone mentioned she is not friendly, one does not get pick on a National team for Friendliness. I like her Quiet efficiency.
 KJ and King are my pick. Flex thanks for keeping us honest. Continue to say what you see , until you see what you say..

I knew Selby from the Malvern days, A decent lad with football on his mind and ideas to take us forward.
 Well we are taking about T&T  and the politics always play a major part in funding and sponsorship.
 With PNM in power and the Minister of Sports  and TimKee in the same bed , it follows that the best bet would be to put back Mr Timkee.
 Having said that , if the new executives are not going with Cap  in hand to beg the Govt and have plans to raise Funds and gain sponsorship , then Selby is the best of the lot.
 If the truth be told is mere exchange with the others. This election is crucial with World cup Qualifiers both with the men and women. We owe it to the players to get it right this time.

In football you need a little luck. Yesterday was one of those days when the dice would not roll for Chelsea. The Off side call and the ball not fully going over the line Trust me Chelsea will be in the top four by season end.

Football is a Team game as Leo said it is 11vs 11. Granted this team has no big names a la Latapy,  Yorke, Dwarika but give it time and Cato, Molino. Jones, Cummings and Bateau will be household names.
 What this team has is heart and a never say die attitude. A work in progress.

Good Post Big Boss- What makes Iva so unmovable. With Jose performance is everything and with the pace of the game and speedy wingers- Chelsea has been exposed. the same way  Cahill was benched and had a wake up call so it is with Iva. a few game on the bench will do him a heap of good.
 Watch Kennedy he greedy - a ball jumbie and he can shoot. With the kind of money them men getting one expects more than the mediocre performances by most of the players. 4points after four games is unacceptable . Coaches get fired  for this kind of performance.

Argentina can boast of Maradona. Brazil- Pele. France- Zidane.
Who is our all time great, transcending generations- Is it Gally Cummings. Russell Latapy- Dwight Yorke.
 I guess one has to be internationally known and played at the highest level. I trust now that we are quiet I just want to keep the board alive and the conversation going. Hopefully some of the older posters may come alive once more

Jamaica had chances in the first fifteen minutes, They wasted the opportunity and payed the price.
 It makes T&T 4-4 draw a little more instructive going forward, hard luck Jamaica.
