      These releases from the JFF are atrocious. Why do they continue to butcher the english language? TK they are giving themselves an excuse if they fail to qualify for WC 2010. They will just say they didn't get the support to have a local based team in constant preparation.

        You did better than me BT. I kept reading it over and over and still have yet to find what exactly they are trying to get across.More times than notit is better to write a five paragraph release and done.

        The first thing any first year communications majorlearns is the#1 rule of communication.......whatever you have to say, say it inas fewwordsas possible.Atrocious is the right word. Boxhill should do the right thing and have Mosiah write his releases for him. Mo has more talents than just being a yes man.Deyouth can write! - T.K.

On watching the game the other day, I probably could raise his score by a point, and that of Stew Peas as well. But the best thing the captain did that day was to applaud the fans. You could see him summon to the other players to circle the stadium and thank the spectators for their support after the game, even while some players, sadly, seemed bothered by the gesture. That is no small thing! Well-done, Captain! </DIV>

              I am loving the work by Janis and Garth. Interesting piece! ...as was the previous article.

              Later I'll make comments on the article...points on which I agree, those on which tweeking the facts, I think, was done...and,some general comments.

              To Janis and Garth: Keep up the good work!

                  Ah....now that is what I am talking about.Mo for Press Officer!

                  I really think the hiring of Bora will bring some well needed excitement back into the program. While we won't be able to play in the Gold Cup I do believe we now have a coach with the credibility to bringthe local and foreign based Boyz onboard with the program. So as much as I cuss Boxhill daily today I will give him his kudos on a job well done. It will be nice to see the senior team actually building towards the 2010 qualifyers. - T.K.

                      I accept the articles for what they are - 1. to engage the fanz in discourse and, 2. to lead the discussion...naturally in a direction favourable to the current JFF administration.

                      Nutten wrang wid dat! The how?...of the presentation andleading of the discussion is very important.I think in the two articlesthe job is well done.

                      The fanz are not being hammered over the head on this administration is 'the greatest thing since slice bread'...but have are some pointers on where the adminstration is trying to go; here are some of the obstacles in its path; subtle..ever so subtle?...the previous administration had a better path/set of circumstances within which to work...or at the very least that path is different from that (presented?) on which this adminstration has to trod...

                      ...steps are being taken to adapt to the 'new path'. Come walk wid wi dun dis yah road! ...i.e. deflection of the fanz ire!

                      It is a good move...good attempt. Will it work?!

                      ...Naturally only if the back office work by Boxhill and crew gain positive results.Yup! Boxhill and the crew mustpresent tangible results...and, super quickly to quiet the fanz...appease the footballcommunity, the fanz and Jamaica....or, 'off with their heads'!

                      Have to come back to the two articles - Good work!

                        As a teacher you have to know when to mark for English! This is an occasion when use of English is very important...but, I take the line that it is the attempt to engage minds on problems in the football industry/running the JFF/national football programs and 'steering' the 'football people'/stakeholders in the direction the JFF wishes that is 'the aim'.

                        Yup! The teacher thinks that is what should be dealt with here. Again...I think, the writer has made a good attempt.
