Tappa's coaching style and yesterday's practice.

[Sickko]

was his nose, not jaw

[Sickko]

skill played for who in where? remind me

[Exile]

I heard a cracking sound...thought it was his Jaw. My bad.

[Jawge]

Gene grey carried down skill to play
a team from Israel (they said the team was from Brasil) in J park. I can't forget the corner that Cole took. Now yuh neva ah go park dem time deh but evrybaddy inna bay know where Jawge an Bella would sit inna park. Time yuh cool an easy yuhself.

[Mosiah]

kick me when next we meet.

[Jawge]

maybe you were on Dcave beach that day.
then again the match was played at night so scratch that.

[Mosiah]

Sickko goes to DCave at nights too!

[Baddaz]

karl.. skill was a forward... tappa is a better true central midfielder... mi si de two a dem... mi si skill play much more than mi si tappa... and mi can tell yuh dat tappa is a better passer of the ball... better possession player than 'skill' ever was...

[Sickko]

True, you right, how can I question a man who was invited to play DCup and turned it down...next you see me kick me.

Funny thing that you can use a one off friendly game to base your rating of Skill Cole for a man so steeped in knowledge of football

[Mosiah]

heh heh! tappa better passer?!?!?!

[Jawge]

But muss because Tappa
had the advantage of top quality coaching plus many camps in Brasil. It's academic. Mr.Cole quite possibly is raw talent with roots in school boy football. Never went up in a match situation against quality as a Brasil team of his time. Dem mussi tink wha Tappa do gainst Brasil any an any baddy can dweet. Yuh notice the last Usa game how the Brasilian defender (Maicon) I think) juss tek whey di ball from the player like him say gimme dis an stop waste mi time. Which Brasilian player run in pon Tappa Tap so?

[Jawge]

Yes to date for the whole Ja. Who yuh
know can pass better than Tappa as we speak?

[Sickko]

At least it safe...but you nuh hear what the man seh, him used to roll big time every body in MoBay knew when roll into Jarrett park, therefore any guy inna fi him seat better get up and move .. he he he

Skill a forward?
At school - Yes!
After school he played less on the forward line and increasing as a link-man. He would line-up involved in the kick-off then took over as the midfield general!

btw - At school he scored goals at the rate Michael Owen did. Shortly after leaving school he could not/or he never did...hit the side of barn even if he was right up against it!

Skill is the best "controller of the ball I ever saw". That includes Pele and Maradona. ...they might have been as good but not better!

Skill was the best passer of the ball I ever saw - In each and every match he made...consistently many "killer passes"...long cross field passes...and, numerous shot passes. His passes rarely went astray...it got so that whenever his pass went astray the crowd and or fanz would claim the intended target "neva read im". It go to the stage where the spectators thought it impossible for him to make a bad pass - that was how high his success rate of passes was!

...and, you may not believe this but Tappa allows the ball to run further away from him that Skill ever did. Literally when Skill dribbled it appeared the ball was tied to his feet.

[Mosiah]

Tappa cannot pass like Maestro. FACT! But we've been thru that already. Don't expect me to pick this up again.
