I spoke to tiger yesterday, His ankle messed up after Costa Rica, and he was trying to organize ah scene in China, but as he said, his ankle is still messed up. So if he even get pick, I doh know how fit he go be. I know he in Trinidad but forgot to ask if he training with WIM. So most likely go need to be rested.

Osei Telesford, say that he training in de cold rain and even possible snow, cause he relishing and anticipating making Chicago Starting 11. So I may just keen him in!

I look forward to seeing the team

All de best.

As it relatres to the PACE!!! of the international game. Is that PACE!!! such a mystery in this day and age. The pace of an international game still coming as a surprise to our players? It ain't have no "How to" books and DVDs around for man to buy (with there own money) and develope their play. Could it be that our local players have a disposition for laziness? I just asking. Sometime it sounds like only being abroad brings out the best in a player. Maybe it's true for us. I don't know.

Alberta you talking bout us boycotting and not giving support and making a difference. "Nothing from nothing equals nothing" Trinidadians not football die hards. We don't support our own. Nobody attending and contributing so boycotting ain't make no sense.

I want the WC squad. We need to represent and build T&T brand. The better the senior team image the easier it would be for the younger players to get exposure. It is called the halo effect. Ask any Brazilian. Even if he shitty you does still recognize what he does well. Beating USA, Mex, Costa Rica should be a goal.

I think the TTFF should have a camp with as much players as possible letting the locals interact with the foreign based. Dwight retired. I respect that but I still want him to be around in the build up. Let him train with the team. Many people have talked about the influence he has had in the Sunderland dressing rooms. Well Dwight we want you around for a couple more years. You doh have to play but school the locals and give them a standard to work towards. I want Densil to play against Dwight in training. I want the young players to measure themselves against the old guard and see where they wanting. I know the TTFF won't pay for this and is wishful thinking but I honestly believe that is what is needed. Anybody who play against a "old man" and get eat up know what I talking bout. That does make you hungry. Nobody like to get schooled. When it is in competition it could demoralize but when it is against somebody who has your interest a hunger does come alive and the need to excel does blaze. Embarrassment behind closed doors does be good. Bring back Latas too.

What is it about we never wanting to take on the 'hard issues' around we football? We talk and then we 'overs dat' and then when the iron get hot we talk again. Why we just cyar rally around this topic is beyond me.

Look how we does talk up all them foreign leagues and teams and players and we cyar even have a sustained discussion about we own backyard ; we own team we own football SAD SAD SAD .....

Allyuh eh really care about the national team? man does talk how we eh have the passion like them South Americans; well yes ;It seems like we doh sustain the drive to advocate fuh major changes. We should be hounding TTFF/demanding excellence.I eh say boycottt or stop supportng but we need to see better. Here we are a small nation producing skillfull individual players and year after year we keep playing the same old record with the TTFF as the D.J.

Redtrigirl why start ah new thread when talking about Carlos name to the Gold Cup team?

http://www.socawarriors.net/forum/index.php?topic=26984.msg301978#msg301978

Leh we keep tis one going; who else named to the team?
We ought to be demanding frm TTFF the alleged 'blacklist' or with just over a month to go. why is it that players are not selected as yet and why is it the information around training camps and friendlies are not posted or orgnized? Oh yeah why change how things operate.

There will be a hurry up training camp; organize afriendly aganist North Stars or Bermuda or the Turks and Cacios and then move on to play.

AB.Trini · « **Reply #40 on:** April 22, 2007, 09:51:49 AM »

TTFF allyuh name the best warriors to represent we at the Gold Cup and submissions for the best proposal to maintain a winning team will be tendered out to the public.

Is it Patriotism? sense of duty? love of country? or money?

Another day and no reactions from TTFF about resolving this issue; Yuh know is like ah taking up a pesonal crusade alone with this or what? Each and every day we have to keep this on the burner; why are we content to just leave this alone?

AB.Trini · « **Reply #47 on:** April 29, 2007, 08:15:50 PM »

Questions:

Another day another one this thread:

So this is the year ah finally buying meh ticket and book meh room to come support TNT at a Gold Cup and look at the sh...t ah have tuh content with?

First is a team minus some core individuals; Is this the BEST WARRIORS? I have to come to a real test of faith and loyality for TNT. Look, the players representing have made a choice to wear the colours and go on the field to do the best they can for the nation. I hve to respect that and support that. These players are professionals; they don't want to go out to be humuliate or to let down the country. So why as fans should we turn our backs on those who are CHOOSING to represent?

Yuh ever think that some of the players on the squad don't totally agree with those players who are choosing to take a stance?

Ah see ah having a 'running monolog' with meh self on this thread; it's ok I taking a stance and who eh like it well allyuh do what allyuh want but ah still here hoping for a resolve.

AB.Trini · « **Reply #52 on:** May 06, 2007, 08:14:41 PM »

Bottom line: are we sending a team to represent or are we sending a team to win this tournament?

AB.Trini · « **Reply #53 on:** May 07, 2007, 06:51:38 AM »

Like this turning out to be a "soca Blog" fuh meh?

Dear somebody,

Today we continue to celebrate another milestone in our country's football success; I pray we do it right with the youths and doh leh dreams of money and professional contracts corrupt their sense of loyalty, patriotism and national pride in wearing the red white and black.

From this on, let the lingering taste of victory inspire our youths to one day continue the nation's dream of another world cup appearance.

Keep the vile side of the TTFF from 4king up this success. Let's begin developing these youths for 2010.

AB.Trini · « **Reply #56 on:** May 08, 2007, 12:38:41 AM »

It's a crying SHAME..SHAME SHAME if what I read in the TNT Guardian is an accurate reflections of all the players who were not selected:

John said on Friday, “We are available to represent they country and they told us that we are banned once we stick to our decisions. I myself want to know why we cannot play and why this problem has to prevent us from representing our country.”

“I think there needs to be some feedback. The public needs to know the full extent of it. A lot of people think we are after money because they know the Government gave us money and we got bonuses from the federation earlier on.

“So they are thinking that we are just after more money which is not the case. We had an agreement and all we want is fair play,” John said.

“We are not money hungry… we are hungry to play. At the end of the day we want to represent our country.”

If these sentiments reflect how the players are feeling, how could we as fans support them in their assertions to represent TNT? What needs to be done? lawd help us to resolve this prior to the Gold Cup!!!!!

kentsoulman · « **Reply #57 on:** May 08, 2007, 03:41:19 AM »

Just to help with selection, many of the "blacklisted" players will be playing in the funday match on May 20th. So, that probably means they'll be available!
At least it means you can get to see the guys play this summer.

Kelvin Jack is still injured, so cannot play, but he'll be there too.

TMF....

you gonna track my ass?

You is like Columbo, you gonna find me out eventually!

I got no probs with you knowing me bro, just ain't gonna admit to nothing on here.

All I will say is that I'm fighting in the soca warriors corner, and I ain't goona be on the losing side in this. Things are gonna change for the good.

In November 2006 FIFA stated in a Memorandum of Understanding with FIFPro (World association of players unions) that they are commited to

"the prevalance of employment legislation over all matters relating to the contractual relationships between clubs and professional footballers taking into account the specifity of sport and the methods of resolving differences within a football framework on the basis of representation"

Which is a bit different than TTFFs attitude eh?
