Highlights? What highlights? This was more like target practice for Saprissa. Easy 3 points. Santos and Saprissa look forward to seeing another weakling from the pre leaague next year. Central target you are up next.
But I thought wconnection's head coach was one of the best in the pre league and Jomal Williams was an up and coming talent. What ever happened to the young Woo Ling? What's his address in pergatory? All of these young, talented players with enourmous potential just falling by the way side hopelessly languishing in a hopeless football league calling itself a pro league.
There isn't a huge continental divide here between truth and reality. Truthfully, the reality is that football in Trinidad and Tobago is like a "cheap suit". It crumbles easily.
I just have to smile at the attempts to confuse from facts.
Everyone knows that the TTFA hasn't done its accounts since 2008, according to Rastaman. True. But what does that have to do with FIFA regulations? Is that the TTFA's defence? You know I ent do it so what allyuh asking for it for?
If the audit was supposed to go to FIFA at the end of March, then why is KPMG's departure in June relevant?
And, as I showed in my article looking at the constitution and Tim Kee's specific duties, Jack Warner would never have been able to leave the TTFF/TTFA finances in the state it is in without the help of Raymond Tim Kee.
And why do I mention Tim Kee's other job titles like Mayor of POS and PNM Treasurer?
It is fact and up to readers to decide if it is relevant or not.
For instance, the TTFA has no money coming from FIFA. The TTFA has no money coming from private sector. The TTFA relies almost entirely on taxpayers money. And yet the TTFA president has refused to meet the Minister of Sport, regardless of the impact on his football body.
At this point, some readers might consider Tim Kee's political role to possibly have some bearing with the country on a brink of a general election.
But, if you don't, then just gloss past it and pay it no mind.
Good talk Lasana.
So the TTFA got their 9.9 mill from the goverernment?
They got their Gold Cup prize money, what ever is left from it.
They got FIFA grants until June.
The coaching staff and players are paid by the MOS.
They do not pay a rent.
They didn't pay anything for the PanAm teams.
How come they still broke? where is all the money going and what percentage do they contribte?
They have all these big members and they seem like they are forever struggling in the admin department, how come?
Did they use up th money on their new website and board members?
Maybe Flex can asked the TTFA some of these questions?
As for this latest KPMG drammer, why did they hire the same company Jack Warner dealt with for years?
It's very difficult to book a team on a flight to Tobago. Usually you have stand by's which means teams travel in groups. If an agreement could be made with CAL that teams have a guaranteed flight, it would be a step in the right direction.
Stupid question here. Is the ferry not an option?
Currently only one working.
Eh heh??
I know people who took the ferry recently.
How recent is recent? From about late April/early May to early July only one was working but they brought back the 2nd ferry to cope with the busy July/August holiday period. Two weekends ago I went back and forth no problem....and two ferries were working...
The major challenge is getting a booking especially on a weekend and with a car......unless its done at least a month in advance forget it. Unless you like the drama of standby...........

Murciélagos F.C’s latest signing, Yohance Marshall, is officially presented to the media by Director Alejandro Mercado.
These guys have to work, so sometimes a weakened team would travel. Also, Pro League teams would want to stay overnight (at least in a cheap guest house)

This is ridiculous. You quicker get a reservation to Miami than Scarborough.
LOTS of raw footballing talent in Tobago. Hopefully this sort of initiative can showcase that talent and demonstrate to Tobago youth that this can be a viable and sustainable career
Massive respect to Terry Williams who has been one of those that work tirelessly and in virtual anonymity doing their bit to keep that fire burning in the sister island.
If this turns out how I hope it can....Trinidad AND Tobago will benefit.
True. There are many decent players in Bago who have to come to Trinidad to break through. My only concern with a Tobago team in the Pro League is the cost of travel, which everyone would be worried about.
How is it handled in the Super League where you have Phoenix, Stokely Vale, and Bethel United involved?

Valid.
The argument is....when you have to play CONCACAF Champions League.....how are those travel costs dealt with? Do qualifying clubs receive some sort of reimbursement from CONCACAF/CFU?
Are all costs covered? Some? If so, which costs are not covered? How do the clubs cover these costs?

CONCACAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE PREVIEW: Deportivo Saprissa vs W-Connection<a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/NMxXc-Vjtag" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="bbc_link bbc_flash_disabled new_win">https://www.youtube.com/v/NMxXc-Vjtag</a>
Breds, a defenders MUST be able to take pks. As a matter of fact, every body on the field. That should be a routine. Part of the football DNA. Every players must practice at least 10 pk a day. If you are a professional more than 10. No excuse. Everybody must be able to kick pks. BE PREPARED. No excuses.
I agree totally...however the order in which the team takes it should have been better planned out...imho defenders should go last...
FS...question...since 06 infant recall anyone getting into the UK...namely the PL and Championship...jones to my recollection is/was the last player...what's the situation in regards to permits,trials etc...I think Joevin had a trial with some Italian side about a year ago...and he was sent packing...just landing a trial is a big deal...
It seems that most of our boys going to Finland or Asia...is it because of their agents don't have the proper contacts?
If your country does not have a sufficient ranking or you have not played a lot of internationals in the last year, you will NOT get a trial in the UK.
You notice, Eastern Europe, Belgium and Holland are not a problem.
This fool Sancho can't even run his own club.
I heard they own money to the contractor and the lighting is poor.
What a fool, they can;t even use their own home field.
They fixed the stadiums so Kamla could host UNC campaigns.
Harrison is a vulture sucking the people of T&T and fooling them with his bush accent.
Wasn't Peter Rampersad the same accountant that was involved with Jacko? Why is he being mentioned in the same sentence with the ttfa? If it is true he is one and the same, why are you thanking him?
So de new TTFA hire de same ole staff?
That's explains a lot how the TTFA is run, no new fresh blood and a bunch of ole men stuck in de stone age. Rampersad probably still have a blackberry, he and Muhammad.
So FS, de National Stadium fit and ready?
Lights will be completed this weekend so we're good to go.
Why is he back in TT til November? If he's part of the club and there's a problem with his age, wouldn't they play him in the reserves or with a youth team to keep up his fitness? Maybe I missed something but the article makes it sound like he did preseason and now is off til his birthday. Doesn't make any sense.
No offence to Fuentes but he's not the best reporter in terms of details..
I think I will ask Lasana if he could do an interview with Levi to get the real scoop as to why he is out for several months.. That way we will get a in depth report on what happened and why the long lay off..
I heard that the ttfa met with the Oval to have CONCACAF Champions League matches play there because SPORTT and the Ministry have been unable to meet lighting standards for HCS. This is due to contractor being owed for past jobs and they wont install lights until paid.
They also assisted Central FC with visas to fly to the US to play LA.
RTK is in fact muslim
interesting... i'll take your word for it, as I have never heard that from anyone, but then again, I never inquired...
it would explain the power dynamic going on and where the struggle lies sadly...
I also think they are both associated with the Black Caucus movement.
both?? sancho and TK? or you mean mohammed and TK?

Horner, I will hold my tongue a bit. You make some points. Why is Central an embarrassment to TT. This the club first outing. This club eh even 4 yrs, you jumping on them. Yes, Joe Public did well and I and many on the forum were very proud of their performance. But where are they now. The problem with all things in TT is to maintain success. To be consistent. Only two teams have made a level of consistency. It is Connection. And to some extent DF. Though with the quality of players they have had over the last four years, they should really be running things in TT.
I have issues with Sancho, but he is not a clown.
Without browsing through the thread I bet Football Supporter and Jumbie defending San-ko like dem lives depended upon it
Just a few more weeks for the bacchanalist Sank-ko to end his drama filled MOS tenure
I would be interested to know who you would like to be PNM Minister of Sport?
FS.....I will not answer this question but I will state only this, even If TTFA organization and coordination skills were in tip top shape(which it isn't)....dotted every "i" and crossed every "t".........there would still be undue pressure and an undercurrent of sabotage because of tim kee politics it is the MO of the UNC.....Griffith being a noted though short lived exception.... dem is Sancho boss and he himself have ah axe to grind
As I have stated before, there are many ardent PNM supporters within the Ministry, and no doubt, many UNC supporters too. Neither group receives "orders" from political parties, both groups love football and both groups are disillusioned and unsupportive of TTFA in its current format.
My self and the Permanent Secretary receive no orders from the Government regarding sporting organisations.
I cannot profess that Sancho tells me all that is discussed in cabinet, but it is my belief that Kamla and co have more pressing business than RTK. In fact, I will go further in that when evidence appeared that RTK was privy to Warner's financial capers at TTFF, there was no interest from the government in pursuing it or using that information for political gain.
Now, I'm not saying that either party are above mud slinging, but this fight between RTK and Sancho, while I still believe is politically motivated by RTK, is nothing to do with the People's Partnership.
right due to what..........
the organizational bungling...........I will back you their
the inability to source funding outside of subventions..........we discussed this.....TTFA reputation in tatters due to TTFF/JW......politics at state companies
I would agree that if the FA wants gov't funds it should be more forthcoming in its financial affairs.......but up to recently Sancho was suggesting using gate receipts to pay players.....dat is non starter given the state of the product being sold again TTFF REP AFTER JACK/06 in tatters.....though I think TTFA missed a genuine opportunity to market the product for GC....dat CNMG stream was ah waste of time and d effort much to late if u ask me........but I digress.....what do u think would be the the MoS position on "funds set aside" most likely answer would be "use dat" irregardless of what it was intended for, given the relationship as it has stood over the last 5 years......is it right to withhold info of said, if it is being done, No, but with the ministry possibly willing to cut any submitted budget based on that...............

central made a big mistake by not rehiring Vanes the only coach in T&T that has proven that he can coach on the international level losing 5 - 1 from a Galaxy reserve side is not a good enough ,hiring a local coach to coach on the biggest stage was a stupid decision they are probably not going to win 1 game.
