Sam - It seems that Nathan's time has come. Let us hope that he grows and be patient. He seems to have a good head on his shoulders. Best of luck to the player and his club coach.

Let me refresh some memories- What we are saying about KJ , we said the same thing about Stern John.
I would hate to be a striker playing for T&T. He gets blamed for everything. Now if the midfield is not providing for the lone striker, what is the poor man to do when he is isolated most of the time. KJ strength is his head and he needs to get some decent crosses in the box to be effective.

Three points will give us a chance at 4th place playoff. The manager should tell the players Thursday is a holiday and there is a Boat Ride on Thursday and he has reserved seats as a bonus- Now what better motivation than that .

I guess the altitude had something to do with the pedestrian passing. I liked what I saw and with a little bit of luck we could have gotten something from this game. if Carlos had taken on men on a one to one
we could have looked a little dangerous on the Counter. I was a little disappointed on the slow counter attack that was so productive against Mexico, under Hart. Not comparing Coaches just an observation.
From this W/C journey we seem to be able to compete with the big boys, We do need someone to put the ball in the back of the Net. Fourth place is possible.

Look on the bright side, some of the local players getting a sweat against Grenada can boast that they played for Trinidad & Tobago and that they played International football.
Secondly we have to find work for Dennis and his staff so what better incentive than a three days holiday in Grenada .

Football / Re: PLAYING NICE ?? The TnT Myth
« on: March 25, 2017, 07:04:59 AM »
Well Big Magician , I may be in a position to challenge you about seeing more T&T matches. I go way back to the Grand stand , Savannah in the days of T&T vs Suriname. Be that as it may I understand what you are saying about Nice. Most of us are addicted to our way of thinking and Nice for you may not be Nice for me. I called Touches and ask him how we looking as a Team. I am looking for good chemistry , pressing the ball , stringing passes together . Running into spaces and quick counter attack.
That is Nice for me, although I would say an efficient performance can trump Nice.
Most Fans look at the Strike Squad Era under Gally and called that NICE football. Latapy is a NICE footballer . I guess when we can beat men and Dribble like Clauzel, or head a ball like Ronnie Gray and tackle like the TANK- Delabastide , or string up the goalkeeper like Chalky Hamel smith , that is Nice football. As the saying goes Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and so Is Nice football. Getting to Russia is all that matters and I don't care how Nice we play , winning is the name of the Game and War is never Nice.

« on: March 10, 2017, 11:52:09 AM »
I expect 2goals minimum without conceding. This game is to look at style of play and how well Dennis has the Defence playing. I hope they break the bad habit of ball watching and leaving men unmarked.
I guess the Coach will have an interest in Cummings, Paul , De Silva and Hashim. Some one should tell the hopefuls that Opportunity comes knocking once , so that they can give it their all at this game.

Let us look at the positive. We will see what style of football Lawrence will bring to the table and who on this B team will be on the bench when the foreign players arrive for the big dance in march. I have this hunch that we will see an Everton style of football a la Martinez.

Football / Re: RIP Weary (Joann Charles)
« on: March 03, 2017, 07:38:08 AM »
To Know , to Love and then to part is a sad state of many a human heart. When Touches called me and said Weary has gone to higher service at such a young age , I wondered what was her illness. Having read this site about her illness, all I can say is she has gone to a place where there is no more sorrow and no more pain. She was truly a large part of this Soca warriors family and she kept us all honest.
I remember her post of third World as being derogatory. To be absent in the body is to be present with the lord. May she rest in Peace and rise in Glory.

Let us hope Morgan was selected on ability and that he impressed the Coach rather than coming from a big name club. My concern is about Unity in the camp . We need everyone on the same page fighting for their spot. I know some will argue playing at a higher level and exposure and the likes- But is what happens in training and Commitment.

Sorry Jack, Too little too late. He was just appointed to a FIFA committee , lots of travel and rubbing shoulders with Big wigs , like Mr Warner . Do you really believe that he would give up those perks,
Thank you for trying and thank you for your passion about our Team . If the new coach could instill that passion , I am sure the results would be an improvement on what we have had lately.

I have the greatest of respect for Alvin Henderson. So I am at a loss to understand how he can remain on a team that has no testicular fortitude. I just cant fathom it. It cant be about the money, nor trips abroad . Somebody- Please. Whatever happened to Integrity with T&T. I guess anything goes and to add insult to injury , I see Jack Warner has become vocal once more and asking for the President's resignation. 2017 that Calypso is still relevant" Who is going to Guard the Guards"

Boat Cruise Jammers will be happy with Latas as a coach. He will join them on the boat lime and then they will run for 60 minutes and the Coach will say lack of Fitness was responsible for the late goals.
Latas will bring his friend Dwight to help him out with , the necessary addition of liming after each session. In all fairness to Saintfiet , he never stood a chance with this C team that others picked for him.

We are a classic case of what is known as the Dilbert Principle, the author of this principle had T&T football in mind. Just look at what has been happening , we keep recycling the same ole- same - ole and then we bring back some tired legs in Glen and Edwards . Latapy may have been a better option. Unless we get the right driver to drive the bus and ask some folks to get off the bus , we will continue to be a one time wonder for a world cup place.

Saintfiet consistent and demands discipline. No individual is bigger than the team. Give this coach some credit , he is up front with his disciplinary demands and it augurs well for the future. A. B. Trini is spot on in his contribution.

This is a positive start and it breeds confidence for the Way Forward. so let us accentuate the positive but positive vibes as we move forward. let us look at our past score line against Nicaragua .
This win has to be a cause for celebration. Well done B team- for this is not our A team

Excellent tread and I hope that we get a lot of responses. For what it is worth , he had us playing some good ball , we were competitive and we showed that we can compete with the best in CONCACAF . The two meetings with Mexico and the drawn game with the USA opened people eyes that we are no walk over. I heard that he had lost the dressing room hence the results in the latter stage and coaches are judged by results. But thanks are in order for what he had done and the belief in the team and the fans.
