Touches, hear why i disappointed in you eh..
You manage to take this whole good idea of a silent, entirely non-confrontational public statement by the fans and make it into some kinda fan protest and confrontation that could end up with repercussions. All this talk about security holding you by the door, and the fans getting bite and suffering the consequences.. All this talk about who going and clap for me or care for me, everybody go be inside eh go fart on me outside like a nuisance..
You acting like jack warner on match day going and say, "yuh see de red man by de door in the black jersey? take he photo, take he name and ban him from all future matches". steups..
touches, giwwe ah chance with that shit nuh man.
Nobody eh tell you go and picket outside the stadium in the hot sun and go and fling stone at the TTFF bus. Nobody say go and chant songs of war and battle with security. Whats the big deal in picking the black jersey from outta your closet on game day?
Also, you see this assertion you peddling with regards to the foreign base talking but not willing to come down and act? Now most times i right in agreement with that eh because I tired see that in its full glory..
But i really, really dont see how wearing a black jersey is any skin off a man back foreign based or local based.. Ent is ah free country?! I could only speak for myself, and i dont even feel foreign based since i only buss it a couple months ago. But if i was there, for sure i would wear a black jersey without even a second thought. But i'm guessing thats too much to ask of you to abandon that best arsenal kit you want to coast at the game that might impress the smallie in the white pants.
This is a simple statement of discontent with the TTFF, the way they are running their organization and their treatment of our beloved soca warriors. This is a supporter's initiative end of text. Thats what you can tell the BBC if they stop you outside and ask you. You don't need no one to applaud you. Who knows if the players will even recognize you, appreciate you or give you that coveted high five. This is something personal you are doing as a believer in our players and our football, it have to carry some kinda significance for you and you alone.
I not on no crusade to save any players, I ent want to rescue nobody from behind the bridge, I not fighting for money for nobody
Bigger protest have pass tru TT and gone..Keith Noel dress up how much people in black, lie down all how and what was the outcome
Is to enjoy life and not take on stress...and I not taking on anybody else own.
The ones that supposed to be doing this not doing this.
If them ent looking to help theyself or going about their process in a different way why we have to work up ourselves? Why they have to rely on others who have no nothing to gain and everything to lose.
Alyuh must learn to leave bachac nest alone.
Breds, I will not lie.. Yuh see all dem ting you say there have me lil worried about you.
While i understand your frustration, you must not let these thoughts make you into the kind of person that floats along in life, taking any shit that come there way because you feel you do not have it within you to make a difference. Never deny yourself the power you have as an individual. You need to come better than that.
Touches, that is the 'steups mentality'. That is why people will pay any price for bread, doubles, food and gas instead of making a personal statement of looking for alternatives.. That is why corruption, from the corporation to the Licensing counter will always be so rife in our country and go unchecked because no one makes a serious problem about it. That is why people will continue to live in a system of governance they not happy with and allow our leaders to do as they so please.. That is why people see their neighbors shot in broad daylight and turn a blind eye..
And what even worse, is this is not even something you doing that calling for you to sacrifice any kinda personal security, entitlement, comfort or rights to make a statement. All you doing is wearing ah jersey.
I cannot fight you down for whatever you decide to do, but I can sure as hell attack your opinion here just as we do everyone else's every day of the week.
And what is the most disappointing in all of this is, that I believe you are a poster thats been around a long time and carry a certain amount of respect around here.. And yet you choose to pour cold water on a good initiative to show support for the players who represent us and we love so much.
I've always said that Trinidadians are not the type to unite to make any kind of statement whatsoever. But i was feeling strangely optimistic about this one.. but now i feel that was just a pipe dream..
Oh well..
