I like how all the potentials for the national team getting promotion to big teams.
One note though ..... why is it everytime someone from Tobago get s and opportunity they make it sound like it could never happen.
Coming from Tobago and seeing what Dwight has been able to achieve, as a player you always try to imagine and dream about certain things.
It have nothing to do with where u come from ...but what you in general ...... time to come out of the small island mentality.
Cowen, please don't get me started. First of all please read Yorke's autobiography, and hear OUR captain tell it like it is regarding that. By the way - What is YOUR definition of small island mentality?
Don't get vex padnah ..... all i saying is that there are people from Tobago that act as if being from Tobago makes them handicapped or something...... and we suppsoed to feel sorry for them.
Example.
The day of the Bahrain vs T&T game in Trinidad... is pressure just to get tickets to go the game ...but i get tickets.
Up by the stadium is pressure to get in the stadium. Shoulder to shoudler crowd .... police and army blocking fans from entering and you can't shit left or right All of ah sudden this man jump up.... he want to pass. People start ot bawl pass and go where... the an say he have get to the front. Everybody want to get to the front ...what make you so special.
I from Tobago that is why i have to get to the front. Imagine that is the explanation that big hard back man will look to say. Is cuss start to pelt ... i cussing to. That man will open he mouth and say is only because i fron Tobago allyuh getting on so .. and i know allyuh don't like we.
That is the kinda small island mentality i talking bout. Is a small island yes ... sometimes tobago gets lost in the whole Trinidad scene..... but is one love and one island ..... don't wear the fact that you from Tobago as a chip on your shoulder for people to feel sorry fuh yuh and hope that you get special previledge.
If that is what u does do ....... you suffering from the same flicking thing SIS.
I happy for the man ..... the man is a prefessional ...no matter where yuh come from once yuh good enough ...somebody will find you.

Cowen, first of all Tobagonians don't want NOBODY feel sorry for them, all we want is fairness, and a greater understanding of our situation(s). For every scenerio like you described involving a Tobagonian, there are 50 like that we (Tobagonians) experience from Trinis. Who you think made us feel like 2nd class citizens over the decades - Trinidadians, not the foreigners.
Boss who you know that have more chip on their shoulder than a Trini. Cowen it is clear that you have absolutely no idea whatTobagonians have gone through thanks to the politics of Trinidad, and the attitudes of MANY Trinis, most of who are held bent on sweeping the issue under the rug.
Like you said - we are one family, but Tobago historically has been treated like to step child. You need to pay just as much attention to what going on in Tobago, as you pay to OUR warriors, and only then you will understand how Tobagonians feel.
I, like most Tobagonians don't hate Trinidad/Trinidadians, but please don't pretend to be blind to our plight, then you will NEVER see.
When ever you meet Tobagonian ballers like Kevin Nelson, Ashley MacMillan, Richard Goddard, Hayden Fitzwilliams, and in your next life Rolston "Sibby" James - just ask them how much help they got from Trinidadians in respect to their careers, and how many times they got passed over for a lesser talented Trini, and just listen. Rolston was lighting up the PFL, but they never try to get him something abroad (the man beg them) , how yuh think he end up with Connection.
When you meet Rolston (in heaven), ask him what Jabloteh was paying him, as against what they was paying Sam and others, ask him how much months he had to beg to get a simple raise, ask him how it hurt, ask some of his former Jabloteh team mates, ask him 'bout the empty promises (something that most Tobagonians have come to expect from Trinidad).
MacMillian was lighting the semi-pro league ask Carrington, then ask Macmillian what Jabloteh offer him - he had no choice but to move back to Tobago, ask Hayden Fitzwilliams what he was offered, he too had to stay in Tobago, and then he got something in the CPSL.
Ask EVERY Tobagonian that playing pro ball overseas who get them their deal - guess what not a Trini, When officials of the TTFF found out that Kevin was getting a contract with Ottawa Wizards in the CPSL (the agreement made Kevin, Ashley, Richard and Shurland David some of the highest paid players in all of Canada) - they tell him don't take it, he found out later that is because they wanted to see what they could get for him, even after he was a free agent. There isn't a Tobagonian pro player abroad that got their deal through a Trini, is another Tobagonian that did it - ah ain't calling names - not yet at least. You ever ask yourself - how come so many talented Tobagonian ballers still in Tobago, and not in the PFL?
All yuh might cuss meh for this, but before yuh start call them players, and Dwight, and sit down and listen. I assure you that after you hear these lads describe their experiences, you will then understand, and throughout all this, we Tobagonians still find it in us to stand in solidarity with Trinidad.
If yuh say is one love -then prove it. Now start denying.
