I sorry I cyar defend a waggonist.
Where were you all when the going was rough!
Where were you when Bertille was in charge?
Where were you when we were being schooled by our caribbean neighbours.
I fed up get into talks with man...some of them saying....see them men, not me and dem fellas nah, I good I done.
I get enough off.....boy you is a real optimistic fella, you real hopeful.
I get, what you wasting yuh money watching dem fellas for. I have better things to do with my time.
Eh heh..........Guatemala and Mexico game people calling me and asking if I get my ticket for game and who making the lime.
I not on that!
Imagine I watching Mexico game and man telling me to sit down.He pay he money to see the field like everybody else.
When I tell him he shouldnt of waste he hundred and he was better off staying home and watchin it on TV he had to hush.
Alyuh waggonist feel the players ent know. Alyuh waggonist feel the diehard ent know who yuh is.
If yuh ever went to a TT game in the lean and hungry times, once yuh sit in the same area yuh know yuh fellow diehard supporters, because is you and them in the thick and thin right tru............it come like alyuh is family.
When man killing the wave, telling man to sit down, telling man to stop making noise and telling man to put down yuh flag.....yuh does really wonder what side they supporting and what is they purpose.
Alyuh ent remember a man who write a letter in the papers and call we zigaboos and vex he went the game because a man was waving a flag blocking him..........this is d shit I cyar take. Another woman write this week how we shouldnt boo the opposition when they names were being called as this is upsetting. Of course it is, thats the intent we must make the opposition uncomfortable.
Simoes when he came wanted to show us how to support, in his various weekly pr letters. He gave us instructions on how to be a 12th man and what our purpose and role is for the team. He showed the Jamaican fans how it is done.
Alyuh ent understanding the seriousness of this World Cup thing. Maybe I getting worked up, but the hard work, sacrifice and effort that has been made by the players and from other fans in supporting the team......when man make chupid comment, or upset yuh when yuh backing yuh team it does make yuh want to cuss.
But for the waggonists............I cyar defend alyuh but I will welcome you because joy is a thing that must be shared. Just know this important fact.
Your purpose in the stadium is to give support to the 11 men on the field. Your purpose is the lift the players if they are down or keep them focused when they are playing well. Your purpose is to make the opposition feel uncomfortable and any little advantage you may bring by making noise, shouting abuse or chanting is welcomed. The purpose of waving a flag is to give hope and inspiration to the men on the field and to remind our players of what they are representing. The noise from the iron, tassa, pan and whistles is the war chant or tempo to drive the players on and to spur success.
If yuh vex man booing, if yuh vex man blocking yuh because he stand up...........you stand up too. if yuh vex a man waving a flag, do not ask him/her to put it down because the flag is not for you. If yuh want to suport the team............make noise and come tru.
If yuh coming to look for lime and gyul and yuh killing fellow supporters of the team spirit, and by extension the players on the field.
Do the Needful, stay and watch the game at home with yuh friends.
I ent care who get vex with me for this post. Plain talk bad manners.
