Went up in de Larry Gomes and took in St. Ann's Rangers vs Defence Force and first half of the Cali v Jabloteh..

To be honest, the quality on show in the first game was somewhere between aight and real poor.. Plenty bad passes, slow intensity, bad trap and miskick was the order of the day.

St. Ann's Rangers fielded a mostly young side. The right back and the right sided midfielder both look like they was 18 years old max and was trying their best but you could see the inexperience. The rest of the side was mostly lightweight players, the only two players that look like they had some quality about them was a central midfielder with a tie up dread and Roget, the red man in the forward line.

The one moment of brilliance came from Roget that led to the opening goal. Aerial ball played into the box, Roget chest traps to the right with a marker on his back and unleashes a venomous volley up in the V's.. the keeper get a small hand to it but was never stopping that. A very good goal.

Defence Force on the other hand is a setta heavy set men and was beating Rangers in the physical battles. Defence Force have a central midfielder #31.. Now the man have some touches eh, but the man is a frankoment fat man.. When i say fat man, i not talking thick or rotund, i talking about a belly that stretching jersey and he running with a waddle (picture how a penguin does walk).

The Richard Roy fellah up top who play against Finland last week and Kevon Carter aint really impress me at all, is really just a pounds scene with them men. The goal he score was off a through ball which should have never gotten thru Rangers defence.. He take one touch to check inside the defender and slap home.. Then Defence Force get a penalty that shouldn't have been when the forward pulls the Rangers defender to the ground, obvious foul but then the bemused Rangers defender from the ground pulls down the DF forward in the box and the ref points to the spot.

Other than that the game was pretty blaah.. My only other observation was that the officiating was horrendous, i actually recognize the referee as i had a run in with him a few years ago playing bank league and saw him doing Eddie Hart league games... A stocky ref with some kinda fassyman mannerisms who is always a problem. Could not believe he actually officiating pro league missing a whole setta simple calls like hands, ball gone out and fouls.

Was only able to stay for the first half of the Cali v Jabloteh game... A gulf in quality between this game and the first, alot of intensity, speedy play and hard tackling.

Cali started out bright in the first 10 mins or so and scored when the Jabloteh keeper parried a shot from outside the box and Gay gets first to the rebound and knocks in from an acute angle with keeper and defender bearing down. But then Jabloteh settle into the game and dominate Cali pressing them in their half of the field. Cali only outlet was long balls to Gay and the other forwards and hope.

The Jabloteh goal was all about the through ball from Marcano. Didn't realize it was Trim who got the goal but excellent pass to set it up.

Standout player for me was Jason Marcano. Skillful and busy on the right wing and hustling the game hard. Looking better than Tinto for the national team. Also, Plaza was creating problems in the box and Oliver despite not having the legs is class in terms of how he reads the game, makes room for himself and distributes the ball.

Police were all over North East in first half, who had 3 players suspended. Then came an inspirational substitution by Alcantara, bringing off right back, Jellies, moving Passion to right back and bringing on Drogba to give more width. This changed the game and allowed North East back into the game.

Pro League debut for Daryl Trim of St Anthonys. Difficult game for him to start with as he was lone striker, but good performance.

Daryl Trim is a good signing. How did Roopie do ?

Roopie not ready yet for first team. Only trained once so far! Think he may get a run in Reserves on Thursday at Ato Boldon. No good throwing him in at the deep end....he may do well, but he could also drown and that will damage his confidence!! One step at a time, Sam!

Nice report dinho.

Last year I saw Army play right before they went to the CFU cup and they was awful, they were slow, de transition play was slow and they were playing a stupid long ball brand with no idea who to pass to, they play a one target man type of football, like a typical T&T national team under a local coach. They big and strong and slow, in my days men like that would get chew up by small fast men.

I am happy they not represent T&T this year in the CFU, I believe W Connection would do much better.

Defence Force was great in de 80's when they had the power to buy all the good players, today, they are not the same, Ross Russell is a bleddie joke.

Ah glad North East Stars back on track, big up to de boys. Trim, Rochford, Kevin Jagdeosingh, Roopie, Drogba, Andre Marchan (you should buy him) and Jeromie are some nice young talents to build the future on, all you need now is two solid youth defenders.

Some good SSFL players to sign woulsd be Dwight Ceballo (St Anthonys), Shackiel Henry (Presentation Sando), Qwesi Weston (Shiva Boys), Kern Roberts (Arima), Christopher Morgan (Scarborough), Nicholas Marcano (St Augustine), Nicolas Castellanos (El Dorado), Dwight Quintero (El Dorado) Akeem Garcia (St Augustine), Moriba Ballah (St Anthonys) and Garvin Samaroo (St Anthonys).

St Anns 2-1 North East Stars

They say there are turning points in games that can win or lose a match. They say individual errors can cost you a game, they talk about makeshift defences. These statements may have some truth and may have some relevance to this game, but probably more apt is the one about a team "just not wanting it enough", or perhaps "the other team wanted it more".

Rangers started brightly and scored a decent goal after 4 minutes. Maybe the Stars defence were asleep. They would point to a second consecutive game without their regular defence who have proved steady all season. Forced into changes through yellow card suspensions, the defence was indeed makeshift.

Rangers second goal will probably be a video classic. Glenton Wolfe rolled a 20 yard backpass to the keeper, who under no real pressure let the ball under his foot and into the net. Did the ball bobble? Who knows?

Kaydion Gabriel found himself receiving a 30 yard pass in acres of space at the edge of the 18 yard box, but misjudged the ball and the chance went begging.

Second half saw Stars come out with a little more fight, perhaps reminded that on Tuesday they overturned a 2-0 half time defecit to win 3-2.

Winning a deserved penalty, Anton Wolfe, who has been steady from the spot all season, blasted the ball over the bar. It was that kind of night for the Stars.

Gary Glasgow, back from a 4 month injury lay off, produced some magic out wide and his shot from 20 yards on 85 minutes set up a final flurry for North East. From some hectic goalmouth defending by St Anns, a Rangers defender nearly gave Stars an equaliser, but thye ball hit the post and bounced out.

Rangers played well enough to deserve the victory, while North East, though unlucky, really didn't deserve even a draw. With such a good squad, some serious work is needed in the North East camp.

Police 2 - 4 San Juan Jabloteh

Briefly, Jabloteh bossed Police from the start and probably could have scored more in the first half, but seemed to relax. In the second half, Police were more organised (as seems to be their pattern). San Juan never seemed to be in danger and this could well have been a practice match, such was their relaxed attitude.

North East Stars 1-1 T&TEC

Those people who say the Pro League is boring should have seen this game. The difference in league points was not apparent tonite as both sides gave 100% in a brutal battle. Certainly it was true that Andre Marchant in the Stars goal had more to do, but the game was very even and the outcome could never be guessed even in added time.
When the deadlock was finally broken with a well taken goal by T&TEC's Bess, it only seemed to ramp up the tempo and set up the second half nicely. There was the usual baffling decisions from the officials and superb support from the T&TEC fans, who look certain to take the best supported club title away from North East. However, it was noticable that the T&TEC supporters frustrations in the second half began to backfire on their team as they failed to increase their lead in the face on strong pressure from the Sangre Grande outfit.
Ryan Stewart was the midfield dynamo that kept North East ticking and in a surprisingly long period of added time, it was Stewart who stepped up to take a free kick from the edge of the box. His previous effort failed to bend enough to hit the target and T&TEC's keeper, Clayton Ince was always going to be hard to beat, especially from a free kick. However, Stewarts shot curled around the wall only to smash into the far post. Quickest to the rebound was new Brazilian striker, Jeronimo Wendes De Souza, and his delight at scoring on his debut was apparent when, after being smothered by his team mates, he ran to the touchline to embrace his coach, fellow Brazilian, Emerson Alcantara.
That was virually the last kick of a game which took nearly two hours to complete, and the final whistle was greeted by boos and jeers from the T&TEC supporters who clearly felt that North East had received the so-called Man Utd treatment from the referee.
All in all, a draw was a fair result, but I must say, the atmosphere at this game was the most like an English game that I have experienced in T&T, even down to the rather hostile attitude of the home supporters, which made you well aware that you were ournumbered and far from home.

Hmmm...maybe 300? Thing is, they were very vocal as opposed to 300 neutral spectators. Many wore T&TEC polos. This is what is needed to develop for each team...T&TEC were supporting their "community". But its a lot easier for them as they have many employees already supplied with polos etc. Army and Police should also have that advantage, but don't capitalise on it. When Army play Police ot T&TEC, there should be 1,000's there!

So, the real story in this so called FA tournament, a tournament that is trophyless at this point, is the progress and performance of the Scarborough Secondary School team and in particular one midfielder by the name of Christopher Morgan. I have never seen him play but from what I am reading this kid is supposed to be very talented. How does this kid look so far in the trophyless tournament?

Jabloteh 2-2 St Anns Rangers

San Juan started hot 'n' fast with Oliver scoring in the 2nd minute. Jabloteh were completely superior and Plaza added a second, with a powerfull header from Olivers cross on 16 minutes. Although Jabloteh visibly relaxed, they missed several good chances to make it 3-0. Rangers also spurned good chances to claw their way back. Macano was looking busy for San Juan, but Hector Sam was by far the most dangerous striker, causing problems right across the Jabloteh defence. His canny knack of winning fouls however did not result in any goals.

When the teams came out for the second half, Jabloteh continued their relaxed style. Unfortunately for them, Rangers had upped a gear. Relatively early in the second half, Rangers scored and Modeste, who had not impessed as much as Sam, slotted home a penalty to make it 2-2 on the hour mark. From there, Rangers were in control, with Jabloteh hanging on for the draw.

Caledonia 3-2 North East Stars

After a fairly even first 25 minutes, Caledonia took the lead with a well taken goal. However , Brazilian import, Jeronimo Wendes De Souza equalised with a brilliant goal to end the half at one goal each. North East Stars came out of the dressing rooms late, but started with more belief. Ryan Stewart put the Grande side in the lead with another nice goal. It looked like the Stars would remain in control, but a speculative pass/shot made its way unaided through a penalty box full of players and ended up in the far corner of North Easts goal. This then gave Caledonia impetus and a well taken third goal gave the Eastern Stallions the 3 points.

Two very good, exciting games and, again, you have to wonder why there wasn't thousands rather than hundreds at the game. Hats off to Caledonia, who produced a matchday programme, albeit a photocopied 10 page booklet, which was distributed free of charge. Its such a shame that more people don't get themselves to these games.

Watch out for a Caledonia/North East rematch on Sunday at Larry Gomes for the F.A. Trophy match.

OK, its not Pro League, its F.A. Trophy!

Caledonia 1-1 North East Stars
Cale won 4-3 on penalties.

Fairly mundane first half. Cale took the lead from a deflected shot at around 30 mins.
Second half was much more exciting with North East pushing hell for leather for the equaliser. It finally came from a corner when Wendes headed towards goal and Anton Wolfe redirected the ball to equalise. From then it was all North East with Caledonia hoping for a second goal from the counter attack. It was noticeable that their coach was not present, as they clung on to the draw. North East hit the upright with a Ryan Stewart free kick and Jeromie "Butters" Williams smashed a 20 yarder against the bar. The Caledonia supporters were praying for the final whistle as The Sangre Grande outfit forced corners and free kicks, but could not increase their goal tally.

1-1 at 90 minutes meant penalties.

North East missed their first kick, while Caledonia scored. Anton Wolfe stepped up to score with the Stars 2nd effort while goalkeeper Marchan saved to make the scores 1-1 after two kicks each. Up stepped Wendes, but his confident attempt went wide of the post. If it had gone in, it would have been a cocky, arrogant masterpiece, but unfortunately it was an embarrassing miss. Caledonia scored their next 3 penalties and although Stars scored their remaining kicks, it was the Eastern Stallions who progress to the next round.

Noticable tonite by their absence:

Caledonia Head Coach, Shabazz.
Gateman to charge supporters (have TTFF so much money they don't need the entrance fees?)
Not a single advertising board. So, where is the marketing?

And finally, it was only this morning that the clubs were informed that the 4pm kick off had been changed to 6pm.

You couldn't make this stuff up!

No mate, sorry. TTFF has no info on their prestige tournament, although they do mention that Sunderland's Lee Cattermole has been suspended for 4 games!

I'm not sure there was even a TTFF rep at the game, as there was certainly no gateman, no concessions, no entertainment and no marketing or promotions.
