Five pages- WOW- Are the Moderators paid? Now I have a great respect for Just Cool , but seriously my friend- Right now the team doing fine-Which Team? We have a better Federation- Too early to tell.
Things progressing- What things?
I guess a lot of former men/ women not posting- Because if you cannot improve the silence , keep quiet.
So lets examine it.
(#1) The team doing fine bc for the first time in 7 yrs the players were free of distractions and actually played for each other instead of going through the motions, but you would not have ask this question if you were really following the senior team in the last year or so.
we had to play through the group stages and then finally making it to the caribbean cup final and then earning a spot in the gold cup, which IMO is doing real fine for the all time low that we have experienced in the past few yrs. did you know the last Caribbean cup final we saw was in 2007, BTW did you follow any of the preliminary games??
(#2) don't be an ingrate my friend! the last federation president and special adviser had us playing speradically, plagued by making bad decisions, infested with bobol (misappropriation of funds), favoring mediocre players over better players, lack of practice matches, should i go on??
since we lost the two bums, we have seen a considerable change. we have played far more friendlies than ever before, last yr we played antigua barbuda, finland and canada before the caribbean cup, this yr we already played a friendly in each international break, peru, belize and peru and have a european tour away to estonia and romania.
THE WC PLAYERS ARE GETTING THEIR MONEY SO THERE ARE NO MO DISTRACTIONS!! THERE ARE COOPERATE SPONSORS ON BOARD, THE TEAM IS GETTING PAID, AND WE FINALLY HAVE TRANSPARENCY, AND NO MO DICTATOR RUNNING THE FOOTBALL LIKE HIS PRIVATE PERSONAL BUSINESS. if that is not an improvement then someone needs tuh see and optometrist.
(#3) What things?? like i said , you haven't been watching or following the senor team, bc if you were you would not be asking this nonsensical question. you must be one of those ppl who omar is talking bout.
buddy we made it to a CARIBBEAN CUP FINAL, getting out of the group stages the fist time in 7 yrs, we are in the gold cup, the fisrt time in since 2007, we have players getting contracts all over the world, for the first time since the world cup we have competition for places, especially in defense.
as mentioned before, for the first time since beenhakker we are playing formidable opponents, and not caribbean opposition. we are playing regular practice matches with our best players on board. for the first time in 7 yrs our players are playing for the coaches, there is no mo condoning of the starboy mentality, and the fren ting amongst the players and coaches is done, ALA latas and yorke.
now if that is not progress, then i don't know what iz!! is like allyuh want somebody tuh come wid ah wand and fix everything in one shot, well that is never gonna happen, not now , not ever!!
the fact that there no more jack and camps is enough progress for me. those two old fellas reap havoc on T&T football and stole to their heart content, yeh TIMKEE was in the mix, but whose to say he was in agreement with it.
IMO the man trying and i cyar fault ah fella for trying, @ least his heart is in the right place. if yuh want more than that right here and right now then yuh wicked like sin and you should check yuh own motives. ah know nuff ah allyuh like tuh bragg and big up T&T like we football was ever any good, stuueepppssss.
iz yrs now we eatin licks from mexico, USA and costa rica, and ah mean bad licks, so i doh know what all the braggin was about!!
the only reason for braggin i could think of is maybe on the heads of our caricom neighbors, stteeeuuspp!! we was never no good in concacaf, maybe OK, but not great as yuhs make it out to be.
and here's another thing, none ah allyuh woulda ever complain about our football and the condition thereof if jack had done right by the boys, and until now allyuh would have been blaming the players instead of the lack of developmental programs for our continued failure bc allyuh prefer a WC appearance instead overall development, and for what? just so allyuh could bragg and show allyuh arse to allyuh jamaican and spanish friends about making another WC.. what ah ting!
