[ProudTrinbagonian]

wow this thread turn into a racist war yes

That's surprising

Anyway, I agree with a full strength TnT squad, get the support from the fans and country again after a tumultuous year.
Whoever TnT facing, they should make the most of each match.  No more fete match mentality

[vb]

Why?

That would only happen if Indians turn out to see India.

The reality is this is a game of limited marque value in terms of actual football. They are asking ppl to part with hard earned cash to watch TT play a less than mediocre side. And when fans don't turn up, they wonder why.

However, as Indians tend to support anything Indian this one might work out.VB

Speak for yourself or the village you came from.

I am T&T at HEART vs anybody !!!!!

Don't be deluded. I am not speakin for myself.

Unlike many of you, I was at the last TT-India game and I supported TT (and I'm Indian). However, there are some Indians who don't see it that way. You could bitch and disagree as much as you want.

VB

no offense breds but that comment is almost as ignorant as saying, if TT were playing a west african team, the majority of afro-trinis would support the west african side.

most if not all the indo-trinis i know would support TT over any nation, including india.

No, it’s not. It’s obvious that many of you know very little about immigrants and their descendants who remain close to their culture. What I have said is the same to a great degree in places like the US, Canada and UK. Now what connection do the Africans in TT have to Africa. Can they sing the music, dance the original dances, speak the original language. Are they fighting to have an African channel on the TV or radio. Many Afro Trinis may be proud of Africa but know little of it, ask them to speak the mother tongue, or about traditions.

Why do you think the kids of WI support TT, J’ca etc over the land of their birth in Canada, US etc. They feel a connection to where their parents come from and share the pride.

I am from Diego, folks from Grande and Penal. Anybody who say that a lot of Indians in TT don’t support India over TT or WI is a naïve fool. I am not painting all Indians with a broad brush there are some on both sides of the fence.

Just last year I bounce Town Indians from St. James who made it clear they support India every time over WI because they are Indian. Now, I don’t agree with them but I am not surprised.

Again, for the foolish ones. I DO NOT support India over TT/WI but I know many who do.

If you don’t, you either real young, or damn dotish.

[Brownsugar]

I don't think VB is being ignorant or dotish or whatever else was used to describe him earlier.  I remember when the Indian cricket team came for a match sometime ago folks of East Indian descent turned up to support the indian cricket team with the Indian national flag and they kit and thing....it may have been during the cricket World Cup.  And the UNC wasn't in power then so that point is moot in my opinion.  Now, that might not happen for football but if it does I wouldn't be surprised.....

Just like the clowns who turned up in the stadium for the English vs. TT game in English kits.  Anybody who doesn't know how much our fellow countrymen have no sense of self, patriotism etc. etc. juss fooling dey self.....

No one has made any racists statements here. No one. Men talking about who people will support and why. How is that racists.

You doh have to study dem men... dem acting like they never peep de scenes whenever WI play India at de Oval (or at least so it was back in de day).  Frankly, I not too sure I have much of a problem with them supporting India either.

[Jayerson]

I personally think it depends on the age group. My gf is India and it was a bit offenssive to her that I'd ask her who she's supporting. In addition to which, my co-workers, one of which whose parents came to TnT from India in the '70s, are all supporting TnT and have always supported TnT and WI in cricket. For cetain their will some added interest because its India but more of a novelty factor than support for them over their own national team.

I believe that with every generation, the fanaticism for India will be a bit less.
So, what I observed from the 70s to the 90s would perhaps be a bit less today.

I always thought POS INdians would be a bit less, as I am one myself, however, there are certain areas in POS where they still hold strong links to their ancesry and although they may appear to be as Trinis as you and I, they make no bones about how they feel about India.

I for one have always felt a great pride re. India, after all I'm Indian. But as a fourth generation Trini, TT has always come first.

Couldn't care less if we are playing India, nice from a Marketing point of view but would've liked to have seen a better test.

holding strong links to ancestry doesn't necessarily mean they will support india over TT, the majority of town indo-trinis support west indies and TT, btw I am also from town, east dry river to be exact, and my mother is from st.joseph, both of my parents are mixed and have indian family, that support everything TT, along with their friends and other family.

In fact i have lived abroad for most of my life and have come across many trinis of east indian origin and they always support TT, over india.

While I do understand and acknowledge that there are indians in TT that support india, it is a minority of the population, despite the majority of indians in TT being hindu.

Now, travel woes hit WI tour
By Tomojit Basu (Hindustan Times)

Maybe this whole Caribbean tour is a bad idea. Beset by ‘club v country’ problems soon after the idea was mooted, it seems that the senior national football team now has a travel schedule problem. Coach Armando Colaco and his team were supposed to exit the capital early Friday morning. That isn’t happening now.

“We have no idea when we are leaving because the plan to leave tomorrow (Friday) morning has been changed,” team manager Mandar Tamhane told HT, adding, “We were supposed to transit through London (and stay overnight) and maybe plans have changed because of the riots. We aren’t too sure of what’s happening because the federation and the tour operator have to sort out the matter.”

Thursday’s practice session, comprising short games and passing exercises, lasted almost three hours. “The three teams (Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago  and Guyana) are much better than us, I already know that. Starting practice earlier would have helped,” said Colaco.

Asked if the clubs-federation bout had affected the players, Colaco said: “It had to! I spoke to them, everything’s fine now but why should it have  happened in the first place? The clubs should have released them before  when they were asked because that’s what the rule book says. It’s an  ego problem.”

Dempo SC, of which Colaco is the coach and general secretary, Pune FC, Mohun Bagan and East Bengal. They fought the All India Football Federation (AIFF) stating that the friendlies would  not affect the country’s rankings.

The AIFF, however, had categorically  stated that they would. “I had said that I wanted to bring the federation and clubs closer. A proper plan needs to be worked out,” said the 58-year-old coach.

Asked about injury worries, the captain for the tour and if all 26 players  at the camp would be travel, Colaco replied: “I’m trying to take them all  but fitness is a problem. Jewel (Raja Sheikh) has a niggle. The captain will be the senior-most, most likely Climax (Lawrence) or even Samir  (Naik).”

India are scheduled to play Barbados (August 17), Trinidad & Tobago  (August 21) and Guyana (August 24) on this tour.

Yes people will come because we havent played a game for months

Yes people will come because they want to see the brand inspired by this new coach

Yes people will come because of who the opposition is.

All in all it ends up in a better crowd turnout. Let's just leave it as that.

Unfortunately this thread gone on the racial highway. I think most of us are pissed off, not because we playing India. We are pissed off because that is the only prep. game before an important WCQ. We should have played about six games(including the game with India) before the Bermuda game seeing that we did not make the GC. Like most of allyuh forget Bermuda beat us at home last WCQ. Forget that we went Hamilton and win the return. We should have played the Haiti game. There is no excuse. None.

Now all this racial crap on the forum is totally out ah hand. Things start off with regular Trini picong and next thing we cussin' up one another. This is the 2nd time an Indian team will be coming to TT. Only one African team(south Africa) I think has played in TT. Correct me on that. Jack Warner has been a FiFA big man all them years. He has been bestowed with some Yoruba name. How many other African team has he brought to TT. With all his blackness how come he never saw fit to bring African teams to play in TT. Nigeria, Cameroon, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Ghana, Cote D'Ivoire,Tunisia, Angola. Even Liberia and sierra Leone can givE tt real thunder.

I have no issue with the Indian game whatsoever. But plz, is this preparation for WC?
