Word is Birchall's team-mate Don Ricketts will be in the Jamaica squad for the Caribbean cup. Why are the Galaxy releasing the league leading shot stopper for a "meaningless" tournament but refuse to release Birchall for same tourney?
Anyone ever consider the possibility that the player might not be interested in playing in the DCC? Maybe because he want to stay back and cement his spot for the start of next season? I think Ricketts can take a risk, his starting position in the goal is pretty much assured for next season.
Well said! i was thinking that my self, maybe birchall did not want to play and he opted for his bread and butter instead, but some of these guys don't think outside the box.

Read Insider's post. That will tell u the long and short of the situation.
This is an unfortunate situation. However, I believe the players who brought court action against the TTFF would have expected some sort of back-lash as a result. If you sue your employer, surely you expect to be terminated. no?
Also, Its not uncommon for an employer to promise bonuses to staff members, and then later turn around and deliver a half of what they promised....unless it is written in some sort of contract.
As a neutral, I cant help detecting some initial greed on the players part. couldnt they have settled for a reduced amount ove that which was promised? Of course, I am assuming the TTFF used the funds for TTFF business, and not to fatten individuals pockets.
RF hold yuh peace!! if yuh not privey to this situation then don't utter ah word since yuh might just be choosing to sit on an ants nest unknowingly.
FYI the players did try to settle with jack warner for a portion of the money, but jack's response was take it or leave it!
we weren't the only federation with money problems that WC, i specifically remembered the togolese players pulled the same thing with their federation in WC 2006 in germany when the federation refused to pay them monies owed, luckily for them ( the players ) it was around the time of the tourney so they (the federation payed up to avoid embarrassment).
the US also had ah problem with their federation who settled the matter without incident, and many other federations go through the same thing. the problem with our federation is that they don't care about the sport, but rather the spoils that the sport brings!
the truth is, these players exhausted every avenue of communication with JW and the TTFF, but to no avail, jack's response remained the same "take it or leave it" which wasn't much to take or leave, i repeat! which wasn't much to take or leave since it was little under a thousand USD or 5,000 TTD from revenues exceeding 188,000,000 TTD/ 31,333,000 USD which they were to receive half which comes to 94,000,000 TTD divided by sixteen equals 5,875,000 TTD, so ah man went from expecting 5, 875,000 to 5,000 TTD and you tellin me ah fella should just let that slide and walk away like ah good little boy and let jack walk away with 187,920, 000 while he kick them 80,000 to split up amongst them selves, weh you think, this is mozambique weh man doh know money??
bottom line, jack and the TTFF refused to settle or even entertain the thought, that's why the fellas brought legal action against them.
is real advantage thing going on here with the football, the politics and the ppl wealth here in T&T oui!! doh feel BC T&T have oil and gas that the masses benefiting from any of it nah!! that money linin the rich and the well to do pockets , while the lil fella in the small areas can't hold a fraction of ah half %!
jack and dem fellas really heartless when it come to the football yes! i eh know why them men eh find something more lucrative than football and run leff the ting tuh ppl who really care bout the sport.
