all i know is we have a Latas, a Yorke, a Stern, a Carlos, a Kenwyne and countless others who have gone abroad and done well.
we have serious talent it this country.
and still we cant find out way to set up some serious plans like them doing.
Yes I am coverting my neighbours plans.
Can you imagine what it could do for our football if we were to set up and academy like that. At this point I dont even care if Jack use the money he tief to pay for it jus so he can say he save TnT football, the pros outweigh the cons.
but we need to do something.

We going into SA2010, and if the coach call open tryouts,
everybody gets a shot,
everybody starting off equal:
Yorke and Latas making that team easy easy, and not based on name or past history. Just off of skill and ability.
what does that say about our up and coming footballers?

Dont diss his move coz India football league has attracted quite a lot of foreign players from all over the world including Brazil.An Indian League team could possibly beat a TT football league selection,there is always something to learn,no matter what.In case you dont know football was the number one sport in India in the 50s,India even got to the finals of the Olympics and got the silver,I am not to sure but I think they also got bronze another time.There crowds are massive at club level and football is taking off in a big way.There is a football magazine called World Soccer it is very informative.Didn't India beat us in the 70s at the QPO.

The players in the I-league have decent technique but the speed of play is very slow. I can't pick out any players but some of the passing I've seen is impressive. It is not as physical as the Pro League.

From what I've seen that is

I catch some Indian ball in the past when they show the Asian roundup on Fox or every now and then on some world football special. Can't say much, except dem Brazilians does reach real far

Physically the fellas don't look anything special (speed and strength). But that hard to judge from my sofa. But it look entertaining enough. Nice ball movement, plenty goals. And the fans turn up to support too.

Hope Cyd enjoy the experience

India beat TT one game outta three back in 1983 or 84. It was a flukes win and won the remaining two games.

They then got cut ass from Guyana and Suriname.

India actually qualified for the WC back in the 50s playing BARE FOOT. FIFA said they had to play with shoes on, so the Indians didn't bother to go to the World Cup.

Peace,

Vasco made an effervescent start by making inroads inside our territory, but it was Emeka who had the first real chance in the 3rd minute when he took a shot at the goal of a cross from Hassan.
The exchanges were even up to 8th minute when Vasco were awarded a free kick in front of our box. The Brazilian Mid-Fielder who took the free kick shot wide of the target. Vasco came close again when they struck our upright in the 16th.
Sylvester had the flu and was replaced by Suman in the 44th minute.
The first half was all about the two defenses.

2nd half

During half time, Raman Singh was replaced by Abishek on the left wing. The contest was even during 2nd half.
Abhishek came close to clinching the game for us in the 81st minute; but his header was cleared of the line by their defender.
Vasco came close to stealing a victory in the 89th minute, when their left winger penetrated inside and took a crack at the goal, but Balaji dove full length to his left and made the save.
The goalless draw was evident and coach sent in Rakesh for James to take the penalties. At full time the score was 0 -0.

Pune FC appoint former Irish World Cupper as coach
thaindian.com

February 18th, 2008 - 4:22 pm

Pune, Feb 18 (IANS) Newly formed Pune Football Club, which will be playing in the second division I-League, have appointed former Irish World Cupper Bernard McNally as its coach. McNally, 45, replaces Stewart Hall, who was in-charge of the Pune FC last year.

McNally represented Northern Ireland in the 1986 Mexico Olympics and he has more than two decades of experience in English professional football. The Irishman is not the only World Cupper in the Pune side as they have also signed up Caribbean defender Cyd Gray. Both the signings were completed last week.

Gray, 32, played for Trinidad and Tobago in the 2006 World Cup in Germany. These two appointments are surely going to bolster Pune FC’s chances in the second division league.

Among the few professional coaches with a UEFA Pro-Licence, McNally has worked with MAC Technical Skills and was responsible for the development of a comprehensive and technical skills programme at the Centre of Excellence - West Brom Albion.

“Coaching is about hard work, determination, and inspiration at the right moment. I believe this is a great time for Pune FC to make their mark and to accomplish this, our practice sessions are already on a roll and we are all set to play in the forthcoming second division I-League,” he was quoted as saying on the club’s website.

Pune along with Kolhapur will be the venues for the qualifier of the second division and the final round will be played in Guwahati. The draw of the second division will be made in New Delhi March 15.

....and that is real and not a joke
At 31 how many opportunities will be coming his way,I say grasp it with both hands and go fly the colours,show them some Soca Warrior spirit

Pune FC rope in World Cupper
Tue, Jan 15 01:51 AM

It was a guarded secret, so to say, with the team list presenting, among other names, one Cyd Gray in the launch of the Ashok Piramal Group-backed Pune FC.

Gray, incidentally, happens to be a 2006 FIFA World Cupper.

To many Cyd Gray was like any regular signing for the I-league. But a closer look revealed that Gray was part of the Trinidad and Tobago team in all three preliminary round matches of the finals in Germany. They registered a goalless draw against Sweden in their opening match, and held mighty England goalless for eighty minutes before losing 2-0. T&T lost their final match 0-2 to Paraguay.

Having roped in the services of the 32-year-old defender, Gray undoubtedly becomes biggest signing of the I-League so far. While details about his signing amount was unclear, it was given to understand that the Gray is on a five-month loan to the club.
Gray, as reports from T&T suggest, was one of the only two local-based World Cup players in T&T who did not secure a foreign contract and always wanted to go out. In March of 2007 Gray had one trial in England with Gillingham during Jabloteh's pre-season in which he returned empty handed, so when the Pune FC offer came along he grabbed it with open arms.

Gray, who was part of T&T Pro League Champions Clico San Juan Jabloteh (Kings) campaign in 2007 and signed for the 2008 season will showcase his worth during Pune FC's first assignment in the Kalinga Cup at Orissa on Thursday.

Gray, after getting his international transfer certificate, landed here on Friday and is yet to get into a full training.

It is learnt that Gray, unlike the rest of the players who would be travelling by train, will be flying to Orissa for Pune FC's assignment. As coach Andrew Hall put's it, "He's exhausted and I guess deserves rest."
