Very well done guys. Lasana, Tallman, Football Supporter, and Dinho. I am optimistic these efforts are not in vain. Each of you brought weight to bear on issues beyond a mere beloved sport.

The human issues of ethics; being your neighbor's keeper; accountability; checks and balances; the evils of unchecked power; crediting the hard work, sacrifice, courage, and dedication of our representatives (our own blood brothers) the '06 Warriors; and sending the message that justice will be brought to bear on all who choose to practice a life of wickedness.

Thanks for the work you're doing.

Lasana say he site is leading site for football..... 

He writes mostly about de federation/Jack Warner (which I real happy to see him exposing de crook) and a few small reports about de Under 23 team and saying he site is de biggest and best in local football. Pure assness if you ask me. Maybe he is de best writer in T&T.

No one could surpass the SWO when it comes to T&T football, SWO covers everything including nice vids, photos and a forum that is pure wothlessness does be going on here.... 

And Lasana should be more than grateful because I notice how the SWO does carry his stories a certain way where visitors get directed to his website but yet he have nothing linking back to SWO.

Flex allyuh good we !!!!!

This man getting millions of hits and alot of SWO visitors and all he could say is keep up the good work, not a mention of how the SWO helps him, or Flex or Tallman !!!..

All them links will be dead soon if de site goes down and then them stories will be worthless.

I am a SWO till I die !!!!!!

Flex, you come a long way and now the SWO (your website) is internationally know, dont let nobody come and ride on yuh back for them benefit.

Everybody touts their service as "the best" etc.... that is nothing more than 'puffery', or what we would call 'gun talk'.  No need to read more into it than there really is.

As for feedback, Lasana needs to be more objective in his reporting, particularly where it comes to Jack Warner.  He needs to be doubly sure that he has his facts in order, because he hasn't always done that, and he needs to decide whether he's writing as a columnist (with a particular bias and opinion) or whether he's writing as a journalist, simply and objectively reporting the facts.  He cannot continue to keep 'editorializing' his articles and expect people to take him seriously.  All that said, he continues to be a credit to the local profession, and continues to do a great service to local football... and its fans, in particular.

I agree with a lot of what you're saying here Bakes...although I think Lisana's approach (my opinion now) just fitting a needed niche right now.  I have seen some brilliant articles from Lisana when he was at the Express, both as a journalist and as a columnist.  But the way I see it now...it is what is needed to expose Jack for what he is.  You are right when you say journalist who 'editorialize' their own articles are never taken seriously.  I just glad it have at least this one local journalist who have the courage to expose Warner and face him head on.  The rest of them will continue to sing for their supper.

Pardners, very fair comment.  Don't get me wrong... I see nothing with the approach, other than (in my view) it has to be an 'either or'  approach. Either you're a journalist, or you're a columnist.  I see the blurring of the lines, where opinion gets mixed in with the reporting in the same article to be problematic.  I think people legitimately start to question one's objectivity when one starts presenting 'facts' in such a way as to promote a particular agenda.  Agenda-driven articles belong under the byline of a columnist.  Straight reporting should be kept separate, oftentimes if one is clear enough with the facts one present, the savvy audience can connect the dots themselves without one having to do so for them.

Nice one Bakes, I agree with you 100% on this! 

[Pastor Stuart]

As an official SWO member now, I would like to asked the men who creates these podcast to line me up with a Sunday morning service.

Our nation needs prayer and I will gladly step forward and lend my service.

“Don’t pray when you feel like it. Have an appointment with the Lord and keep it. A man is powerful on his knees.”

Why are you personally attacking me ?

I never disrespected you !

"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.

 I not attacking you...!  I re-directing you...doh get yuh panties all knotted.

[Pastor Stuart]

This place is full of sin.

Bless them that curse you: when wicked men curse you, as Shimei cursed David, do not "render evil for evil, or railing for railing, but contrariwise, blessing"; give good words, use kind language, mild and soft expressions.

[Daft Trini]

Let's talk football and leave the stories/fables to the general discussion thread! 

[truetrini]

[Pastor Stuart]

I know.  I was too abrasive though I seeing dat now.  Pastor Stuart ah sorry....

I accept your apology and will stick around for a while now that you have apologised.

For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.  But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

- Matthew 6:14-15
