I hear Madrid police put an APB for Bale. Miss passes & shots 

If that is worth 100mil I good for 1 mil I would make two good pass
Why Isco get dropped not even a cobeau sweat, when the Real game was begging for a playmaker
Benzema come on and look like the playmaker they were missing, threading the needle passes, big shot off a turn & set up a goal.
Anyway I go take my licks, cause I know Barca getting a sound cut ass in we yard.

No pay to many staff. This happening since Jack was in charge, ask Latas, 
Then came Harford & Groden. reported that they got monies from the ministry & paid self first.

Now Tim Kee & Phillips inherit a pit, with a long line waiting to be paid.

Same politicians in TT just jump from Party to party. So why should anything change for the people.
Jack like he developing a gangster in his party.

PNM, IPL, UNC same thing, just a bunch of thieves. NONE can deliver what needs to be delivered.
No policy for a solution to Crime, Education, Environment  (Flooding). None willing to deal with corruption.
Why has UNC not given the direction to Police to follow up on the missing $$$ from TTFF. All the evidence
is there.

WhyWarner, Camps, Groden et all, still walking about in T&T?
Why Calder Hart still free? Well he eh free he expensive no ass.

« on: September 27, 2013, 10:07:43 AM »

Rodney you so right!

I in disbelief that a respect coach like Coops supports their actions. My daughter in US College and during season they have rules she can't play anywhere else. Coops as a University coach also respected those same rules.

Now I okay with players playing a minor league game, once its out of season. But when you just finish play a league game and have Champions League in three days, I cannot justify their actions. Is pure amateur dotishness. What make it worst, is Captain of the club and National Team players. No wonder we struggling in International football, OUR PLAYERS MENTALITY SMALL MINDED

Regardless how you view the pro league, owners putting up money and running at a loss. So they supporting football in the country, more than most others in Cooperate T&T. If I make a decision to sign a contract & accept the people money, then I am obliged to fulfill the agreement. If I want to play minor league so bad then play Zonal or Super League & take your minor league sweat.

W Connection are 100% in the right here and I for one applaud them. You cannot accept my money & not accept my rules. Before Cyrus & Jones signed they dam well knew the rules & consequences. Now as a League the clubs should stand together a gain respectability by setting standards. But this not going to happen, clubs going and rush in like fat man in a buffet, to sign these two players. But the Window close so they out for at least 5 months.

Football / Re: OSN Cup: T&T edged 7-6 on penalties by United Arab Emirates

« on: September 06, 2013, 07:11:24 PM »

Interesting take by Mr Oberjuege; I agree that George's challenge demanded a yellow for being reckless but it was not a red. It was not deliberate or intentional. IMO the UAE guy connected with George's arm rather than the other way around. You could clearly see that George was completely focus on winning the ball rather than trying to take out the player.

As for the game being 'Rugged' he must be somewhat naive when it comes to the modern game, everyone knows most middle eastern sides are a bit lightweight and can't handle the physical stuff too well. Fancy football only gets you so far, you need a suitable mix of both. South Americans learned that decades ago and the East & South East Asians are learning too. The good sides do it they just better at making it less obvious. Personally T&T should have been doing that from the beginning, might have been a different outcome.

People see ony what they want to see.  Mr Oberjuege did not see Peltier being kicked down at least four consecutive times by the left back, repeated fouling that in any game would have been a yellow for the first and a second yellow for any of the others. Talk about blatant fouls, man was cutting cane.
T&T was as far as I am concerned expected, landing the day before, possibly very little sleep and no practice. Not to mention the heat. yes UAE (GulF Cup Champions ) settled early, scored two goals off of very poor defending. Yet in the second half the could have easily collected 5 or 6. The keeper was outstanding, making save after save, even before the first goal for T&T.

The auditor general showed Ministry of Sport 16 million on accounted for. Yet Anil Roberts keeps his job and nobody asking where the fack the money gorn!

What the fack! I just checked this

In seven ministries, there were increases in expenditure by more than 50 per cent from 2011 to 2012.

In the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, expenditure moved from $514,999 million in 2011 to $2.4 billion—a variance of $1.9 billion or 378 per cent.

1.  In the Ministry of Sport, expenditure moved from $28.786 million in 2011 to $395.884 million in 2012—a variance of $367.098 million or a 1,275 per cent increase.


Ministry of Sport: A total of $31.7 million in cheques was not disclosed in the appropriation account as required by the Comptroller of Accounts

Four equal amounts totaling $1,996,400 were seen to be paid in one cheque to a company for the “Taking Sports to Rural Areas” project for four regions.. What Company Anil?

Ministry of National Security: There was no documentation to support a $3 million outstanding commitment under the Development Programme. Cabinet approval for the rental of two properties at a cost of $234,6000 a month was not provided.  Who was this minister again?

Ministry of Works and Infrastructure: From the sample of 52 contracts, nine contract files for contracts totaling $5.9 million were not presented for audit. Who? When?

This is a football site. But fellas we need to spread this all over. This is LEGAL unaccounted theft. Yet those that are true patriots to the country, like our sports men and youth, begging. Football is whet we care about, the Ministry need to be accountable.

« on: June 25, 2013, 07:14:32 PM »

I am saying for any young coach who hasn't done anything in football like Shabazz, Hart, King and the likes, could help themselves by showing the players that they lead disciplined lives ..coaching is something whereby leading by example plays into the player response. If the young coach looks like a slob..more than likely that young coach doesn't have a knack for small details..at least that would be perception by some of the players.
The physical appearance of the leader is important.

Rafa Benitez, Carlo Ancelotti, Fatih Terim, Bruce Arena, Jose Camacho, Steve Bruce  all younger than 60, most younger than Hart (Hart is 53)

I know Hart through telephone conversations, he is very approachable & down to earth.
When Canada football was struggling with player development at youth ages, he had ideas
as U17 coach and was later made TD.

Most of his ideas were put in place & he was part of
the Long Term Athlete Development project. he was also instrumental in placing the present
staff in place. Since that time Canada has done fairly well at U17 level at both Male & Female.

He will not go over well in T&T. His ideas are based on a  long term vision,  planning & a complete team work
where all staff are connected from youth to senior. He also made it clear that developing individuals
&  performance was more important that winning a youth tournament.

With this senior team he inheriting a bacanal thing since 2006. Yet everyone will expect results right now. Not happening at all.
Hope Don Beenie could bring some light into T&T Football with a vision.

no wonder the USA and mexico does make us look foolish all the while, that's bc we are coming up against a ppl who don't give ah fork bout feelings, they are result oriented societies, and they spend good money in that regard, while we pamper and settle and play favorites.

it's time to move on. we have not scored a goal in six matches, now what does that tell you??!!

Just Cool, my point is that the Foreign Coach gets the blame & in general lack of support from local coaches, for a situation he did not create.
he is offered a job, accepts & tries to do his job. The resentment should be directed towards the decision makers and in the end results will
prove if they right or wrong. Local coaches should understand this. Do people really think DiMatteo resents Rafa? No! he pissed off at Abramovic

Most of you all are making complete sense. Yes T&T have to put money into Development, but let me ask all of you.
Where that money coming from? When last has the Ministry put money into the development of youth in any sport?

I am not talking about some milk & butter money to make people hush their mouth. I talking about a commitment of
lets say 2mil a Year for a 5 yrs or what ever. Tell me when last, Neal & Massey, Adidas, Carib, Fernandez matched the
Ministry Investment in Sport development, for Primary school  to College.

So I ask "Where the money coming from"

Bennie comes in, does not bring a host of Dutch men with him. Allowing for the local based to work more
closely, be mentored, learn and develop. If is two months is better than taking some two week course from
an instructor that never really achieve nothing. Not only that the locals more likely to get paid while being an understudy.
Shit they should pay Beenie. This is football immersion at its best. So what if the Ministry pay Beenie salary, better than
paying millions to move a fire truck 40yards. Shit with that money just buy a new truck.

No Beenie will not make a difference with this lot, but he might indirectly contribute to coaches that can then spread the knowledge

On another note: If Bennie is hired just sit back and watch how Alvin, Andre, Gally, Shabazz and many others will fight down his appointment.

Local based players. We saw them in the Digicel & they looked way below International level, versus Dominica Republic & Cuba.
Lets be fair most of the local based are not even close to the physical levels necessary to play for T&T.  As aconsequence they play very slow and are prone to errors. Unless T&T shut down the Pro League & allow National staff to train the team for 5-6 weeks, (still not enough to improve physical capacity) this is far from a reality

Not to mention the lack of support from Local Clubs.

Yesterday I watch Euro U21 Italy & England. If you see Italy, technique, pace, mobility. Players hungry no ass. Then I watch Israel &
Norway is the same. My point is these countries, like Romania taking care off their garden & then have a good local market to display them
produce. Once the produce get scouted & bought they moving to countries that demanding more and making them into an even better product.

Same Khaki pants..not a negative comment...why take it as a negative? I said it before ..coaching in the English league is comparing apples to oranges when it comes to coaching a National team.
It would be even more difficult coaching Trinidad for many reasons. I'll name a few..lack of resources, player limitation, limited time to build a strong cohesive unit, leadership experience by the coach.
This coach is an assistant who is an active participant in another man's philosophy..does he fully understand Martinez's methods? I don't understand Martinez's methods..I never liked him, I always thought he was overrated and his relegation into the Championship Division is long overdue.
That methodology would not work with any National set up.
Who knows what is Dennis Lawrence's philosophy?

You good yes. First to begin Dennis is not Martinez assistant, he runs the Developmental section of Wigan. Also I would hope he takes the best of Martinez philosophy  adds his own and grows from their. Saying that, Martinez teams play good football and is only a lack of true good players he has not done better. Hats off he won the FA Cup against the most expensive team in football.
