Too many angry people on this site. There is a saying: "Anger blows out the lamp of the mind." I am a newcomer, but I also have the distinct impression many people on this site reside in North America, divorced from the daily realities of working in TT and in TT sport. From what I read, a little research, open-mindedness, and humility would go a long way to improving many a SWO member...
Breddren i don't know how long you've been following T&T football, but if it's more than 10 yrs and you eh angry and fedup then something's seriously wrong with you.
BTW what does livin in a foreign land has tuh do with it? have you ever been to ah T&T game here in foreign? well i have, as ah matter of fact i've been to a couple of games, the most recent being the connection vs redbulls game @ the medowlands, and might i add the stadium was packed with T&T football supporters, as opposed to a semifinal i saw not too long ago @ the HSC with four of the best clubs on the island in ah double header cup semis, and if the stadium had ah thousand ppl it had plenty. and may i also add that the weather was quite conducive for football.
if ppl on this site is angry then they have all right to be, for more than ah generation T&T football has been struggling and the fellas who have it in ah strangle hold has done nothing but embarrass the integrity of the football and make we look like fools on international TV for the world tuh see how slack and complaisant ah ppl we could be.
just imagine ah man wid no prior experience and coaching qualifications was allowed to coach our MNT for two yrs with very little success after one yr and was allowed tuh continue for ah second term. the same mistake was made when maturana was allowed to take us to the hex after he failed tuh qualify for the gold cup in 2008.
it seems like these ppl are prone to making the same mistake over and over, BC right after the maturana fiasco, they turn round and did the same with latas! he failed to to even capture 4th place and finished ded last in the hex and was still allowed to continue coaching making us to miss out on the gold cup for a 2nd consecutive time.
then it took them almost six months before they hire a new coach and now it's been 9 months since we've played any kinda senior team football friendly or other wise, and you expect ppl not to be angry? the only reason we foreign based are angrier than the locals is BC allyuh become used to the half steppin and the foot draggin whereas we in foreign are exposed to so much excellence that our expectations are higher (not meant to be a dis, just a simple fact) and thus demand much more. me eh know bout no one esle but i damn angry and frustrated with trinidad football,
and right full so.
