Football / Re: What going on with CIC his year?

« on: October 16, 2006, 09:55:18 PM »

Martin is boo. We have to aim higher than him. The last time he do anything...was more de result of de talent on hand, Shaka, Rocke, Regis, Kona, Moze Bros. etc. In terms of developing players...is only shit he shit down de place.
[/quote/]

Dat not true at all. Martin is a man know his stuff inside out. I not saying that the talent on hand didn't have anything to do with the success then, but u also have to take into consideration the attitude and commitment of the players now. Back when I was in school in 2000 i remember the principal had to literally beg Martin to come and coach the team that year. It was pretty much he didn't want to deal with the egos and the politics that came with it. That year, we played the best football that i had seen in my years in CIC, and i learnt a hell of a lot from him. Ask any member from that team, Scott Sealy, the Abraham twins, Kevin Norman, Khalil Mathura, Nicholas Lee, Owicho Adogwa, Jeremy Delpino, I sure any one of them wud tell u how good the man was.
I just feel now he lost the will to deal with it anymore

« on: October 15, 2006, 08:40:09 PM »

I said it when I saw the CIC vs. St. Anthony's game and quite a few of the guys who have seen them this year saying the same thing.

I remember when I was in school and actually for some years after I left one of the characterstics of a CIC team (and a Fatima team too for that matter) was a never say die attitude. It was a matter of pride to play for your school so you played hard until the final whistle. I remember a Malik supporter back in the Dwarika days saying that the CIC games always made him nervous because we never stopped working, even when losing.

This team has nothing close to that. Physically most of them are weak. Only the 2 centre backs and Beggs seem to have the physical strength to cope with their opponents. Who remembers Mark Anatol or Brendon Moze? Not physically strong players, but mentally battled harder than anyone else on the field. They were determined and would give everything they had while on the field. Every time Lakhan-Joseph is tackled hard he stays on the ground, even if the guy got all ball. He complains about physical play and won't fight back if the ball is lost near to him. The left back is a dunce... looks like he never played big field football until this year. The rest are like Lakhan-Joseph, not prepared to make the other team work hard physically.

Talking to one of the players I also think that they've given up. They're gutless and pride in playing for your school is something "old farts" like us discuss at the annual cook up. Their physical shortcomings might only have meant that they finished 3rd or 4th, but without the mental strength they've doomed themselves to relegation.

Yuh probly hit the nail right on the head there, and if that is the case, then it's really a shame that after all the years of such a rich football tradition, thats what the attitude of the CIC players has come to

England problem is that they figure they better than they really are. They feel like jus cuz they name England and they are gods in their own country, other countries gonna lie down for them and is just a given that they gonna win. They have to realise that the game is played on the field, not on paper, and no amount of big names gonna guarantee anything in world football today. To win games they need to understand the reality: all the hype in the world doh mean s**t. they figure they just as good technically as say Brazil, Argentina and France, and they just badly mistaken. They overrate themselves.

I applaud d gov't for trying to intervene, but my concern is the gov't cutting a check to get the players paid in full and Jackula walking into the sunset with all d money still unaccounted for. As i previously mentioned our players' availability for selection is the only leverage they have against the federation. TTFF need to come clean. If the players really calling for transparency then they should reject any gov't offer, the gov't paid them already. Make the TTFF show audited statements and pay the money owed to the players.

 
yuh take the words right out of my mouth dere. As commendable as gov't's attempt is to resolve the situation, in no way can we let JW and the TTFF off the hook. is about time they clean up their act and do the right thing

It is unfortunate that in our year of our glory and at the time when we have to  be aggressive in laying a foundation for WC2010 we have promises to our heroes that are not being honored. The TTFF is capable of righting its ship and still has the opportunity to do so. The players have only asked to be treated with respect, to be free of exploitation, to allow transparency in accounting practices, to expect honoring of the contracts that they signed and to be paid whatever was promised.

TTFF has a history of inept management and lack of decorum in dealing with its players. With all due respect, please remember that the TTFF is not a private enterprise, and the public is entitled to an accounting for all moneys received and spent. We are also entitled to know the terms of agreement made between the Warriors and the TTFF. Please find the courage to come open with accounting of revenues and expenditures. Please reveal the income from TV rights and explain where it has been distributed. Please honor the contracts.

If this situation were a one time occurrence, then, we the supporters would say okay lets move on, but this is a continuing pattern over the last 15years. We cannot afford to see our game, and more so our heroes that got us to the ultimate dream, get disrespected in this way.  Our stars are fast becoming role models and as such Yorke, Latapy, Edwards, Shaka, Stern and the rest of warrior voices are being looked upon to set the standard for the coming years. We stand with them.

This is the tipping point for us as fans. We are resolute in our support for our socawarriors. They are our heroes and the best ambassadors for our country. They have sacrificed careers to prove their loyalty to their country and we are die-hard fans who are prepared to sacrifice to do without their services in order to see a historically recurrent injustice corrected. It is impossible for them to give their heart and soul on the field while exploitation, dishonesty and misrepresentation goes on behind their backs.

This is also a critical juncture for the TTFF. Our appreciation, love and respect for our players and the sport is not something that we want you to take for granted, and we trust that you do not want to see the collective disappointments that we have accumulated over the years, brought to a head.

Again, while we appreciate all of  your hard work, with all due respect, please do the right thing.


Respectfully
K. Cassimire
Patriotic T&T Football Supporter

Football / Re: Yorke faces club versus country dilemma.

« on: September 26, 2006, 04:51:43 PM »

thanks for dumbing it down for meh eh...me not so bright an experienced in the understandin or coaching at such a high level thing, but check this.....

"However, in 1990, he received a phone call from the President of Cameroon Paul Biya, who pleaded with him to come out of retirement and rejoin the national team. He agreed, and went to Italy with the Indomitable Lions for the 1990 World Cup.

Milla emerged as one of the tournament's major stars. He scored four goals in Italy, celebrating each one with a dance around the corner post that has become a popular goal celebration ever since. Two of his goals came against Romania in Cameroon's second game, and two more came in extra time against Colombia in the last 16 to carry Cameroon to the quarter-finals -- the furthest that an African team has ever advanced at the World Cup (Senegal matched this feat in 2002). In the quarter-final match against England, Milla confirmed his super-sub legend, entering in the second half with Cameroon trailing 1-0 and setting up a brilliant goal and drawing a penalty shot to give Cameroon the lead before eventually losing.

Milla returned to the 1994 FIFA World Cup at the age of 42. In the USA, Cameroon were knocked out in the group stages; however, Milla scored the consolation prize of a goal against Russia, breaking his own record as the oldest goalscorer in a World Cup tournament."

It is not a comparison of Milla and Yorke, more as an indicator of relevance.. John might be good for Milan, but boo for Crystal Palace..it depends on many varying factors, besides John's ability, skill level, fitness, coach, nutrition...etc..etc...it's all relative..


What did the above event say for the state of the World Cup players in 1990, or even 1994, or the state of the Cameroon teams.....these years, ah sad state of affairs ? I think not..maybe t was just ah few bad years..


One sentence yuh sayin "bullshit " for Yorke to come back, next

"Now of course Yorke should be part of the National team make up, but you don`t have to force the man to play in some inconsequential friendlies, when the man trying to cement a spot in his club team !! Tha to me is not appreciating what Yorkie has done 4 the country
"
How he go be part, through UK Bell ?

Now who talk bout him playing in inconsequential friendlies, we talk bout him coming back, as called...he doh have to play 180 minutes, he could choose to play all, is finding the best way for him to contribute, is not up to he alone....it's up to the coach, as a friendly he could be a player/coach...or he could just sit in England an throw back ah few with Keene, and Stern could break-it down for him when he reach back...which would be beneficial to us ?
And it have absolutely nuthen to do with 99 percent ah we.

And yes Friendly or not, the score does matter...it is a total indicator of who you will select next game, what strategy must be changed, what must be worked on, wheter the coach is capable or not...otherwise why play... for fete-match sake ?

I don't think Roger Milla's case has anything to do with this issue. Playing in the world Cup and playing two friendlies are totally different. T&T is going through a rebuilding phase right now, where we need to see who is the next generation of players to lead us in qualification for WC in 2010. In the grand scheme of things, Yorke not playing in these two friendlies is not the end of the world.

Yes, he can play a big role in grooming the new players, but there will be other international friendly dates, as well as the Gold Cup next year where he can help out in a more competitive scenario. I think his experience would be more required in a tournament setting like that. For now, giving new players the chance to show their qualities should take precendence, so IMO it is not absolutely necessary that Yorke return for these friendlies.

T&T's Andrews breaks down in training

Rangers centre-back Marvin Andrews has been ruled out of Trinidad and Tobago's opening game against Sweden after suffering a recurrence of a knee injury.

 
The 30-year-old defender suffered the setback when he broke down in training, a massive blow for the nation and the player who has been one of their consistent performers during the qualifying campaign.


He is likely to be replaced by Brent Sancho or Ian Cox, who both play for Gillingham.

Trinidad coach Leo Beenhakker said: 'Marvin won't make it tomorrow, that's for sure.

'The injury happened when he stepped a little bit wrong in training.

'He's had a scan on the knee and we will need 24 to 48 hours to try and calm it down.

'Then we will see how long it will take for him to be fit again.'

Rangers centre-back Andrews had forged a partnership with Wrexham's Dennis Lawrence, one of the main reasons why Trinidad went from being outsiders to securing a place in the finals.

Beenhakker added: 'It is a little bit of a problem as Marvin was playing on a certain level for Glasgow Rangers.

'He has international experience as well as Champions League experience.

'He is a very strong guy, a very important guy for the team but we have to accept the situation.

'Injuries are part and parcel of football. You hear about it all the time.

'After playing in all the qualifying matches Marvin is very unlucky.'

Andrews initially suffered cruciate ligament damage in the 2-0 win in the Bank of Scotland Premier League at Dundee on March 13 2005.

The injury forced him to pull out of the CIS Insurance Cup final win over Motherwell at Hampden Park the following week.

But once it was diagnosed as cruciate damage the registered faith healer defied medical advice and refused to have an operation.

We looking like we have no creativity going forward, and as we cud clearly see in this game, the defence liable to falling asleep at any minute. we have to focus in the back there for the full 90 mins, and not a second less than that. until we cud consistently keep that discipline in defence, teams going to score easy goals against us, and we need to realise that. Beenie better put them thru their paces, show dem the video tape, or sumtin
