Points to concider,
I was talking after the match, during the match I agree, I remember seeing something thrown towards your players, that is correct.
In our matches, bottles and cans and sticks are not allowed, but sometimes they get smuggled in.
Besides that, I think every other thing was thrown towards us.
As far as police sorrounding your team, that dosent mean they are in danger, its a normal precautionary measure done all around the world just in case.
Now, of course that is not a good thing at all. Any punishment is deserved simply because crowd is out of control.
Police was all over the stadium since morning, and they did arrest alot of hooligans, but the fact of the matter is that the hooligans were alot more than the actual poilce force. Why? Because that is the first time in my life that I saw a reaction like that. No one expected this to happen at all!
And the point that we do not deserve WC because our crowd sucks does not hold merit.
If that was the case, England with its world renouned hooligans would never play anything.
Also, the cheering was weak because there were several cheerleaders that day, from Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi & UAE, and everyone started thier own chant, so it became a mess
Bottom line: we did not expect this, I am man enough to admit when I am wrong and we had no excuse to act that way. Also the way our players behaved is unacceptable too. Kudos to trini who handled this match better and came out champions.
Now, if you go and say we are a peice of shit, I have to say "hush yuh ass"!
What happened is good. Why? it showed the difference between a team that had a long football history like trini and a recently elevated team like bahrain.
You guys had problems that you had to work on for a long time: and this is the out come. Most majore problems are out of the way.
In our case: We suddenly had a good team.
Preperation, crowds, stadiums, security, procedures are still untested under these circumstances (of course).
That world cup pressure is exactly what we need to know exactly what we need to develop. Only when you test something you know what needs work.
Bahrain is a good country, with simple and hospitable people.
Bahrain is small but there is a wealth of sporting talents.
Arab customs enforce us to welcome guests, Islam also forbids us to hurt any person or vandelise anything, same time orders (repeat: orders) us to welcome guests and be cordial and also protect anyone in our home.
This was not religion or arabs or bahrainis, this was alot of people getting out of control. hopefully this will be overcome.
I said we will walk into this rivals and leave as friends. I hope thats true.
