    The quality is better - Simoes

    The quality is better - Simoes

    Simoes
    AFTER watching the second half of the Cash Plus Premier League match that Waterhouse won 1-0 over Sporting Central Academy at Drewsland Mini Stadium on Saturday, national technical director Rene Simoes says he felt heartened by the quality on show.
    "What I see is much better than what I saw when I came here in 1994," noted Simoes, who also served as technical director between that year and 2000, when Jamaica gained its historic World Cup qualification for the France 1998 Finals.
    The Brazilian, who had also witnessed the first half of the Premier League game between Harbour View and August Town at Harbour View Mini Stadium earlier, added: "I'm encouraged because the quality is better than the last time."
    Shortly after arriving in the island on Saturday, the technical director stated his intention to search for talent that he'll incorporate into the national teams with overseas-based ballers, particularly the senior team at this point which is gearing towards World Cup qualifiers in June.
    It wasn't the most fluent game but it was a very competitive affair between the contestants with a natural attacking flair.
    Weston Forrest scored the all-important goal for strong-finishing home team Waterhouse to continue its impressive, unbeaten run since replacing Peruvian coach Danilo Barriga with Wayne Fairclough, netting five victories and 17 points that helped them to claw back at the leaders.
    At one stage Portmore United led by as many as six points over Tivoli Gardens, with Waterhouse further back. With Sunday's 1-0 win over Arnett, Tivoli jumped into the lead on 30 points, Portmore lost 1-3 at Lynch Park to Portland newcomers St. Georges

      Him ago watch 45 minutes of one game then claim the quality is better? Apparently Simoes remember how gullible some Jamaicans are.

        Does he need to see more games in order to make that assessment? Based on his knowledge of the game, I will give him the benefit of the doubt. Plus it may be a strategy to make us feel good.

          the quality much better for the local team. IF you follow Jamaican football over the years you definately would know that.

          Every year for the past 3 or 4 years we compete in the Caribbean cup and win it most time. The teams are more organized and players paid more.

          When Simoes came the first time we had all part time players who really who love the game but wasn't looking to make a living from the game.

          Hopefully it will continue to rise, with clubs like HV and Portmore taking the lead in terms of structure and administration.

            the quality for the team has improved. How can you explain our wining and competing in the caribbean cup for the past few years?

            Teams like HV, Portmore, Tivoli have structures in place and have constant training so the quality is going to be better. Don't judge the quality of the league on what is done at the national level or we and England inna same boat.

              We won in 2005, the previous time before that was 1998. Quality better where? Unuh need fi get real.

                I am talking the caribbean club championship.

                The fact that the NPL teams are better than they were 5 years ago. That is what Rene is talking about.

                Most teams maybe had one or two better player and mostly unfit players. The standard is better, much better.

                  Portmore, and HV competed against North American teams and none have been embarrassed as we usually are.

                  How do you explain that?

                    I cannot locate the match reports .... I recall Portmore playing against a Mexican club in the Concacaf club championship ... I recommend if unuh can find it .. look at the match cards .. then talk to me.

                    Simoes on a PR thing ... him trying to get the masses excited fi full the stadium at the next home game. I've never believed that the cow jumped over the moon Sass ... and mi not gonna start now.

                      why would he be on a PR thing.

                      I personally thing the clubs have improved tremendously in structure and administratively and this is shown on the field as well even if there is no Fuller and Bibi in the league.

                      You need fi look and compare and stop just jump to conculsion. When in our history have our clubs competed so well against others?

                      The league may not be the best but it nuh mean it nuh improve. Has the MLS improved? How so?

                        i know you probbaly couldn't do it ... maybe not me either. but he is a seasoned coach who spent many years here watching the same teams in the same competition...i think all things considered he is qualified to make that statement and i would more than give him the benefit of the doubt.

                          Mi say .. review the match reports of PMUs game against the Mexican club .. then talk to me. Isn't it strange, you're accusing me of jumping to conclusions? Unuh mek me laff more time.

                            Thank you sah. The man is making a professional acessment based on his training and experience in the field. The majority of us here do not have what it take to make that call.

                              How you know he is making a "professional assessment"? People need to stop and think instead of grabbing onto every feel good word.

                              How many of us watch the PMU vs Boys Town game? Well ... my back broad .. make me down as the only one as seeing this as a PR thing by Simoes.

                              Quality better where?
