RE: 'Heads should roll'

Why should they roll? It does not matter who they put in we will still suck. We could bring back Burrell and ain't nothing happening. Might as well leave Boxhill alone and allow him to play administrator till he gets bored and moves on to another activity. I don't even worry about Jamaican football on the national level. I take solace inwatching our individualplayers perform well with their respective club teams. After that I don'tget my blood pressure. We will not qualify for another world cup in my life time. - T.K.

Those who did not support the vote of no-confidence to remove Boxhill must share some blame for this disaster.

RE: 'Heads should roll'

OJ you right. A few weeks ago I say a few things and I told it to an admin in private, but now more than ever the forum is like a North Korea kinda thing.

I curtailed my involvement over the past month and a half because I see what is happening. I have my opinion and I saw what is happening a long time ago, people in the JFF talking bout improvement but not doing a damn. I constantly talk about the grab a team and the lack of preparation but if you do and you don't live in Ja you a sell-out so mi take it easy, cause mi will be called "whiteman lover" if you talk about professionalism around here.

It is simple we need professionalism from the JFF, the coaches and the players and nothing can substitute it. Mi done talk and I can hope this is not deleted.

Yes, the site is being positioned to earn more revenue...but, there is no attempt to compromise our integrity.

Take a good look at our Editorials, Columns and news articles...and, do not forget to review the posts on this very forum?

To be specific to this forum - You will notice that the views expressed here cover an extremely wide range...although after the recentCFU disaster andimmediately after the tribute to Courtneyposted on the day of his funeral was pulled, it appears the majority posts called for the dismissal/ousting of Boxhill and his team.

tell me seh mi nuh ova-stan yuh?
