Football / Re: Corneal against sacrificing young players.

« on: February 14, 2012, 07:14:40 AM »

Agreed! Asylum seeker you should send your post as a letter to the Editor! Very well said! The Corneals are not known to be men of principle! Very  selfish guys , always looking out for themselves! They couldn't care less for players and only interested in eating ah food! When the dust settles they will be on the wrong side of history!

Football / Re: Eve: Give equal opportunity to Olympic footballers.

« on: February 10, 2012, 06:42:57 PM »

I think Eve is missing  the point! This team could go the same route of the Soca Warriors if the modus  operandi of the present executive remains intact! ! In the event there is a normalization committee I believe they would ensure that the progress is not hindered! In the current environment this group appears to be using Eve to hold onto power and he cannot see that! They will dispense with Him as they did his manager if they could exploit someone else serving their purpose! Half of those guys do not have as the primary interest , the development of  football in Trinidad and Tobago!
This is Sean Fuentes dirty and poor PR that he is drawing. Eve into just as he got  Rougier and others to talk about the symposium!
It is because of Gally's leadership in 89 that the under 19 made it to Portugal from which he benefitted! He should be grateful instead of talking foolishness!

Thanks Lasana ! You don't miss a trick! Imagine Watson trying to keep a straight face saying he does not know who the Landlord is and he is The  acting President ! Then up comes Harford a second after saying it is Jack Warner  who is the Landlord and he only recently assumed as marketing Manager! No one can trust Watson, he must be doing JWs bidding! He has among other things the rent bill over his head! Complete loyalists!
We like him will have to wait until next week to see their next move but I think the pressure is building on persons like him and Groden to step down ! We cannot move forward with these untrustworthy guys! there will be no corporate support! People are reading the plays!

Football / Re: Corneal appointed TTFF Technical Director.

« on: February 10, 2012, 07:50:02 AM »

Good questions CK1 but  no answers ! Now that we are seeing what transpired over the last couple days and hearing Watson say yesterday they are continuing operations but will wait until the court matter on February 14 to see what is their next move , it leaves me to wonder Why make such an appointment for a 4 year period when you are waiting to see your next move after the court matter next week?
Also you havenot paid rent to Jack Warner for TTFF premises , who is paying for your Technical Director? This seems like a whole lot of mess!!
Coop's no comment on Corneals? Has your brothers's relationship as Asst coach with Ken Butcher  to Corneal senior many years ago in the early 80s anything to do with it ? I heard Butcher giving strong support on I 95.5 for the appointment! What is your position?

He ain't commit no crime but he ain't meet a real team yet and trying to big up himself and talking crap ! He should stay humble and hope for the best! He is not the best and getting an easy bligh now ! he has not proven anything yet at any serious level! So the lest I hear him speak I think the population and he himself would be better for it!

The Government cannot support decisions made by this bereft and uninspiring organization! The population has no trust and confidence in this group! They are more intent on saving face instead of doing right! Look at their recent response to the Jan Williams issue! We cannot have such heartless people running football ! There is a lot to clean up ! Going way back to 1974! They still owe players from that time! Ask Leroy De Leon ! They destroyed a lot of careers! Have a lot to account for! It cannot be business as usual and the Government must say something! I heard the Minister of Sport saying these NSOs are pseudo organizations because they depend a lot on Governments's support. Then Government must also have pseudo influence because it is our hard earned tax layers money that is jumping up in this ole mas!

This is the end of the road! We expect to hear from the Minister of Sport!

Tall man
The facebook idea is a good one ! I am pursuing it!
I think another strategy wil be having it signed by members of all  41 constituencies in T and T and having the petition presented to the Member of Parliament most of whom are in Cabinet! For politicians the voice of the people is super important! I am sure there is a SWO member in each constituency , a football fan who can garner 1000 signatures in a short space of time within his/her  community! That will be 41000 signatures!
Otherwise these folks will continue as a law unto themselves!

Coop's any coach who get 13 goals in one game in world cup qualifying at senior level cannot be taken seriously! Maybe he is disciplinarian and old fashioned and he could teach that to some of these youths but when it comes to the top level. I say nah! Yes that's true about Dwarika! He is a little backward in his thinking! We passed that stage!

Football / Re: Bertille St Clair's interview

« on: January 29, 2012, 06:45:48 PM »

Just for Tobago sake? He was a beneficiary of the 1990 campaign and he had a good team in the Gold Cup which made it in Germany in 2006 led by Latapy and Yorke so I am not sure what kind of development work he has one on his own! I remember him best for coaching a St Vincent team in the World Cup  and getting 13 goals from a CONCACAF team! I guess if he wants to help no one should be turned away because we cannot get worst than where we are! We should start having records of all the coaches in all National teams so we have a good background of track records ! Trinis have short memories and they jump from one thing to the next!
I think the most success he has had was with Signal Hill!

Football / Re: Corneal appointed TTFF Technical Director.

« on: January 29, 2012, 06:33:57 PM »

I think some examination must be made of those persons who comprise those committees ! I have never heard of any significant knowledge in the technical areas , so how could they select someone of superior ability when they are mediocre themselves? How can a person who has persistently failed as a coach at lower levels be put to guide development at a senior level? It is like failing O levels but you are put to supervise students in a post graduate program! I think Lincoln proposal which appeared in today's newspapers sets out the better option since it seems that this group is all about self congratulation and not willing to have a broader discussion that is more inclusive! This job is far bigger than Cornel or for one person for that matter!
Anyway I think the population is much smarter than that and they not fooling anyone!

I like the idea of association with transparency International! A lot of people need to answer to the population for the degradation of T and T football!

This Jack Horner is a real pest! I wonder if he really means those things he says or just post comments to annoy you! He goes against the grain of what most  people think! Sometimes he makes me laugh and I say to myself It is a free country . I am sure though he knows his comments are derisive!
I never heard a man trying to defend Corneal like Butcher! He was trying so hard he began to contradict his own words, imagine judging competence by a string of seminars and courses attended! Competence must be measured by success on the field and there is no proof of that! I recall when the soca warriors qualified he was brought on AfterWards as an assistant so he could get the exposure in Germany! No doubt the result of serious arselicking by his father and facilitated by Jack! How can people live like this with so little respect for themselves
And receiving rewards without earning them! Such a pitiful bunch!

Is it possible to put the audio on line? Lincoln Phillips made some startling revelations which fans should know about! It is only surprising that he did not speak out before! I guess he did not want to jeopardize his position! But he took a lot of crap from the TTFF as well as from the  former Technical Adviser! Surprised to hear that Latapy was never paid but Pfister got all monies including a whole month paid vacation! This is how we treat our national heroes! Well no wonder the soca warriors find themselves in this position!

President well said! It seems that the same old guard/cabal is still operating probably taking instructions from the former special advisor!
Why no announcement on the appointment of Technical Adviser  and Technical Director of the senior team although it appears  self appointed Corneals will be evaluating persons for National appointments! Is this a National Joke or is this true! How could Anton be evaluating anyone when it it is his performance against Guyana should be evaluated ? How were members of this Committee selected? I believe it includes Vidale and Shabazz (the Guyanese coach )?
Why has Alvin been staying in the background trying to steer Trinidad and Tobago football in his and his son's interest ? And taking it no where?
Anton has no success at any level and just hiding behind internationally renowned coaches? What is really going down? Where are the journalists in Trinidad and Tobago? There are much better local coaches like Williams , Morris , Stuart Charles  whose shoes  Anton cannot fill! Who should be evaluating who? t&T really upside down!
Jack will not agree for the government to appoint an interim executive committee which is probably what should be done! We are in real doo-doo!

Wey him in truth? I was also wondering! I heard today from Transparency international that Trinidad and Tobago is sliding down the corruption index and Jack's continuing presence in the Cabinet is not helping. Even if football is to be run like a business there is something called good corporate governance where issues of accountability, transparency play an important part for a business to survive and for clients confidence and support which also apply to running the TTFf. I am an eternal optimist and I am still hoping a turn around will take place .
