Ericksson clueless about “new” Reggae Boyz

[Rudi]

The worse part is that most ah wi
ah yaad nuh rate him. Jakan society has very little respect for him, considering what he has done for Ja. Heores day nutten but some friends that do some insignificant thing ah get award.

Then again; it's the mentality handed down to us over the years.

To be fair Jawge if he was given offers and didnt take them that's on him. I could never understand our fascination with playing in england regardless of what division. To further ****************-off some Onandi Lowe was offered a contract in Mexico I believe and turned it down. He preferred to ply his trade in the lower English leagues. Lack of motivation and ambition comes to mind. I say this because you can go any country in the world and find a Jamaican working there. Until lately our ballers only thought England was acceptable regardless of quality.

Tappa is one of the greatest players to come out of Jamaica,its a pity him never come to England when he was younger he would've definately played for a premier club.

too late too late is the cry....!!!

[Gamma]

and spat upon...don't forget that one......

[Exile]

Maye age was a factor AND I wasn't calling you an idiot. In fact Tappa's decision was idiotic. Hindsight is always so good. Thing is too many of our footballers think the only football is in England to their own detriment..our local teams hardly have stats or proper video (correct me if I am wrong) about a player...some footballers just need to build a resume...go wherever...PLAY, get experience, then come back and shine when you get the opp.

[Twan]

Before y'all get too carried away..why it tek 10 years fi all this come out ?

Y'all dontt think that if an offer was made the public wouldnt have known long ago ?

Sven just a play mind games..

[Gamma]

it had been reported many years ago that there was an interest from italy...and other places.

it's not new.....

maybe sven IS playing mind games but as i said that was out there before his pronouncement.

But some of us are talking like an offer was made and Tappa choose Hull over the Italian club...

[Rudi]

Yeah come to think of it you're probably right there. Sometimes good things happen for the wrong reasons. Hopefully others will start to look elsewhere.

[Tilla]

Jawge, I have never said Tappa was no good. I was one of his biggest supporters during his heyday. When he lost it (as when he was done), that was the time I decided to start calling for newer talent.

You have to put a time frame on this whole thing to get the perspective. Eriksson coached at Lazio from 1997 to 2001. Tappa was at the heights of his game leading up to the 1998 World Cup and during the World Cup finals in France.

I will leave the rest up to you to draw whatever conclusions you want.

OK Twan, if Lazio was interested in buying him, but he ended up in D3 in England, obviously a choice was made somewhere.

Only Tappa can tell us. Maybe he decided to gamble and hope Hull would have been a stepping stone to the higher paying leagues. What ended up happening is that he ran himself to the dround playing in an English retirement league. You have to admit that a good decision waas not made and we can only surmise what happened.

[OJ]

bigger story.. Hull or lazio and tappa choose Lazio.. But him a real mad man..

But you are making an assumption that an offer was made. An interest is only what it is..an INTEREST.

You are specualting that Tappa had a choice between Lazio and Hull !!

did you mean to say Tappa chose Hull?
