Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee (TTOC) News Thread

[pull stones]

Ato they already went back to business as usual. Why you hurt up your head anyway? remember you said you dust your hands off completely so it is what it is because it shows you still want to be involved

I have already told the fools in here you are only disappointed because you set unrealistic expectations of medals. On what basis are you predicting T&T to win a bag of medals? What has changed in the last ten years? What is our usual trajectory of medals at the Olympics in the last 25+ years? one medal here and one medal there has always been the norm.

I can agree with Ato, allyuh memories short! So Ato go ahead you just keep predicting no medals. People will just get used to you saying this in the end and no medals happen we already used to that..

.

Ato is basically saying the same things I’ve been saying all along for the past 5 years but in a different way, and the only reason you didn’t jump out of yourself is because he’s the legendary ato bolden, so you’re softening your tone while stroking his scrotum with your whole tongue hoping to get his approval, you ass kissing self important tosser.

people like you only have strength for ordinary folks, but when confronted with VIPs all your activism goes out the window. why not call ato an old man with unrealistic expectations? nah you dear not, so you’ll find a way to get your point across in a more gentile manner, after all you don’t want to be seen as the guy who took it to ato boldon our national hero, but you have no reservations unleashing your full on nasty to me and the other members whom you deem as soft targets.

you keep harping on folks having unrealistic expectations by longing for medals, and no matter how I break it down showing that it’s not about the medals but the preparations and the lack of development and the lazy effort by these clueless federation/ association bosses……whom if removed and replaced with vibrant willing minds endowed with the knowledge to make the necessary changes it could make a world of difference and spell the end of our drought, yet you’re still on about the medals like a broken record. well let me say it again for the millionths and one time, we want positive change that’s what we want, and the medals will follow. do you people even read before you make noise? and BTW wipe that stain off your nose.

  YOU NEED TO READ AGAIN! you are not only dumb but dellusional! He is talking people like you with with SHORT MEMORY of T&T Olympic history!

Unrealistic expectations hence why YOU are disappointed. I am not disappointed or surprised. YOU are! hence why you been writing so much nonsense in here

Sando Prince, how is it that you and Ato concur ... but Ato delivers constructively and you deliver destructively?

[Sando prince]

ATO SAID THIS BELOW! And what did I say? ...case closed

OUR MEMORIES ARE SHORT NO ARSE!

In 2016, I saw the jokes, the memes, the cartoons, the ridicule directed at the team, (one in particular with a skeleton and the caption "waiting for Team TTO to win a medal") and on the LAST day Keshorn pulls out a medal and we give a sigh of relief. Ah we got one.

   

The ship has been taking on water for decades while we act like somehow we would never sink. Now we are halfway to the bottom with another Olympics 36 months away. THE TRUTH is that NOTHING really happens in 36 months, and - early prediction - ZERO medals (1 at most) in Paris, too.

So you old men in here can continue cry after every Olympics with your unrealistic expectations

[Sando prince]

So it seems like allyuh old men hero Ato Boldon is saying allyuh memories are short! Why did you guys have unrealistic expectations for medals?  and you better expect the same results in the future

[gawd on pitch]

Sando Prince, how is it that you and Ato concur ... but Ato delivers constructively and you deliver destructively?

Thank you.

It does reach a point where you can either expect and accept the poor performance as the norm. Or revamp the system with progressive approaches to prevent the expected outcomes.

Sando, which one are you for? Or should I be asking?

[Sando prince]

gawd on pitch aka drama boy we are waiting on the more drama you say going to happen. You said wait for more drama so we waiting.

Because last few days all I am seeing is the usual after Olympics crying from the few old men in here

What is the drama? Another long facebook post from Ato? 

At some point the country will get used to Ato after Olympics/ World Champs social media outbursts. It will just be another one from him.

We are waiting on the drama you seem to be worked up about.

Okay Sando, no drama I was wrong. . Your wisdom is God like. .

Now back to the more progressive and constructive aspects of this topic, I think putting more emphasis on the women's program is important. Our women are yet to win a medal. For Jamaica and Bahamas it has traditionally been the opposite. Meaning that there might be barriers in TT preventing women from pursuing track.

Another thing to consider is the emphasis on the 100m. Too many times I have seen at the national championships, 4 and 5 sections for the 100m and not even 5 athletes for one heat of a 400m or 400mh

Start by putting more emphasis on the 400m then push the kids into 100m and 200m.. and even hurdles.

I'm a believer that introducing the 400m before the 100m,  will create better and produce more sprinters. Something about teaching sprinters to run the full track at a young age, helps them measure and manage their race better especially when they go down to the 200 and 100. Also the endurance and stamina needed always helps. The 400m is a good foundation.

you have real patience fam, unlike me. as soon as I saw him all up under ato’s hood I knew he wasn’t worth the effort, not to mention he keeps saying the same bullshit over and over again “unrealistic expectations every four years and after the world games…old man old man old man” now he’s pretending that ato’s only criticism was directed towards the forum members, which only a small portion of his post mentioned the forum, but he ignored a whole article which was specifically aimed not only at the TTO but all sporting federation that send athletes to the olympic games, saying the exact same thing that I have been preaching for years.

people like him sit on a forum and run his mouth continually criticizing people he’s never met, but ask him if he’s ever volunteered his time to any cause? and it might be that he did, but I seriously doubt it. I have been volunteering my services for years coaching children on weekends back in the midlands, and now that I’ve moved to america I’m actually in the process of building a top notch coaching school in trinidad geared towards teaching the game properly and has been liaising with the government and curtain NGOs to get this program off the ground.

we have already done the ground work and has diagnosed the impediments in local football, now it just a waiting game ATM. a few years ago an Italian club wanted to collaborate with a few caribbean countries to develop an academy but had some trouble with the TT delegate, not to mention that things fell all the way through, I believe they were getting better current from the jamaicans but I did not follow up being extremely disappointed at the way things…….did not work out.

so let this little dirty mouth boy continue to talk trash, I’m figuring that’s all he has going for himself anyway so i’m gracious enough to let him have it. in the mean time i’ll continue to offer my knowledge and if people find me annoying and out of sorts then they could kick rocks for all I care. my main objective is to harass these bloody lazy trinis who gets paid to further damage the country, if only there were real journalist in that country like mr jennings.

Well said. And best wishes with the work you are doing.

Now expect the usual name calling from Sando. As we all are still waiting for him to contribute something constructive to this discussion.

[pull stones]

GOP, please, forget about that lil boy, he's not even worth mentioning. when ever grown folks have a difference of opinion and there's no way forward in terms of constructive dialogue, and bad manners finds it's way into the discussion and becomes their first option, then these are people to avoid.

in reality controversial and ABtrini is the only two people i have ever insulted on the forum and only because they are relentless in annoying the members. but prior to this unpleasant encounter i had no reason to mix it up with sando, in fact i've stayed clear of him for the most part simply because he seemed to very aggressive and ill mannered, so i avoided him altogether, i guess i should have continued along those lines and ignored his aggression, i guess first impressions should never be abandoned.

Yeah every now and again we does all bump heads with each other. But somewhere down the line we realize that we fighting for the same cause. And the destructive comments eventually turn into constructive ones with the right minds. .

The IOC had a special medal ceremony for the Beijing 4 x100.  The squad received the gold medals. Congrats.
