When i watched guyana , grenada and ATB playing on the big stage and tootsing down the place ( while some fellas commending them for playing ah crock pot ah sh!t) when we should've been there representing the region along with JAMDOWN, it does really hurt my core!!!
last gold cup instead of seeing our guys donning the colors, i had to watch cuba , grenada and guadeloupe tek level sting from the spanish and the lone gringo, does anyone else have a problem with that??!!
No need for the jealousy of the other Caribbean teams, we've all seen equally poor (or worse) performances from T&T on the same stage.
You must be smoking!! jealous you say?? bro, you got the wrong emotion, disappointed and frustrated is more like it!
let me let you in on ah little fact here. T&T has always had talented sports men and women, but we never got an opportunity to show case our talent bc of the administrators that we find ourselves with. these old men only care about filling their pockets, and nothing more.
they want to be seen as successful and held in high esteem, but they don't ever want to work for it. in trinbago you could be an utter dunce, but bc of who you know, you could find yourself being the governor of the central bank on the count of nepotism! hence the term "fren ting or frenism"
yuh know if we were out classed by guyana and their massive talent pool, then fine, i could handle that, but these men only beat us bc we were ill prepared, and why? bc the ppl who's in charge of football in T&T not really there for the sake of football, but rather on status, filling their pockets and enjoying the perks that comes with being football administrators.
i also hate to see such superb young talent go to waste! and that's what you're getting, and certainly not jealousy!
on friday night i would've liked nothing better than to see ATB and guyana both upset the US and mex, but sorry to say, it was a no contest. yes in the past we've been beaten by these two giants, but never out classed until a few yrs ago when jack totally lost his marbles.
the US was always a goal or two better than us, but not until stinkin jack warner banned our best players, but before that the US never out classed us, neither did mex, and i know bc i've been watching T&T football for close to 35 yrs.
it's only when we started going to tourneys with rookie 2nd string players like the clueless aklie edwards, slow coach makan hislop, boom kick kenyo thomas and throw away gary glascow did we started to concede heavy.
i swear to you, and i will say this with no uncertainty, had jack warner done right by T&T football over the past 20 yrs by building proper youth academies and working together with the pro league helping to raising the level of the league and spend their money on good youth and senior programs instead of taking short cuts, i swear, we would be just as good as the USA or even better!
that's bc we have no shortage of talented young ppl on those two little islands! IMO trinbago is seriously blessed with talent, no joke! and instead of it being nurtured and harnessed, it is taken for granted and squandered!
these jokey administrators take every short cut in the book, in order to pillage, plunder scheme instead of putting their shoulders to the wheel. now even a team with big belly old men could get lucky on we.
so please don't call it jealousy, bc guyana and ATB were out classed and did not deserve to be there and i called it as i see it.
they got lucky based on the complaisance of others, just like grenada in the last two gold cups, while we have the players and the talent to compete competently, but these old thieves just wont give up power, instead, they stagnating and stand in the way of progress! that's the emotion you saw, and certainly not jealousy
i hope some day soon, someone could just go mad and wipe out that whole old boy fraternity,
that would serve those mdfkrs right.
