    Tappa under pressure :Weight on Whitmore

    Weight on Whitmore

    Published: Sunday | November 22, 2009



    Whitmore
    THEODORE WHITMORE, the coach of Jamaica's senior national football team , the Reggae Boyz, was upbeat as he faced the media last Tuesday following a 0-0 draw against South Africa at the Free State Stadium in that country.
    "I'm very happy with the 0-0 draw. That's good for us," Whitmore told journalists after a Jamaican team ranked 69th by FIFA was outplayed by the South Africans who are ranked 16 places lower.
    But even if Whitmore was happy with the draw, he could not be happy with the headlines, 'Boyz, SA in dreary draw' reported The Gleaner's Audley Boyd. 'Drab Draw' reported another daily, and it was the same around the world.
    More bad news was to follow on Friday when FIFA released its latest ranking which saw Jamaica drop five places to 74th, a shade above the rank where European clubs would no longer offer work permits to players.
    It was a far cry from the heady days in 1996 when the Reggae Boyz won the FIFA Mover of the Year award for the climb up the ranking ladder, or in 1998 when the team became the first from the English-speaking Caribbean to qualify for the finals of football's World Cup. steady decline

    THERE IS ONLY ONE ONANDI LOWE!

    "Good things come out of the garrisons" after his daughter won the 100m Gold For Jamaica.


    "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

    Why did they have to make Tappa the headline or face of the problem? Why not Captain Burrell since he is the current head of administration that cannot seem to set our football on a steady course.

        Cannot blame Tappa but what of his role in finding or developing that midfield general ?

        Is he trying to do as such ? I dont see it .I see youth that can be blooded and they cannot get a consistent call !

        Is his tactical acumen limited to playing down the wings ?

              ...or hire a coach with a license or credentials.

                  He definitely did. As much as H. View and Wolmers get vex about not being given enough credit, he is definitely the one who did.

                      Why is it not Simoes then?

                        He did not have that much time to transform anybody, in my opinion. No national coach does. Yes, Simoes spent more time with that national team than most coaches do, but, even when you factor in the point that Bibi was not always there...

                        Anyway, this is like talking about the last 18 years - pointless, really. The fact is, our clubs must do better in developing players. Or do we expect Tappa to take Keammar for a few days, weeks even, and coach him to greatness?!

                          At that point Bibi was almost always with the National team (months at a time) and Simoes. Ludlow build him as a little youth, but after that he was mainly with Simoes.

                          At this point yes, I don't think that model can work because the player composition has changed.

                            We need a development plan for players and coach. Our main problem is the lack of a plan to keep us on course.

                            Its the thinking that goes into making the plan thats the key and since we haven't sat down and thought long and hard about what it is we want to accomplish we are all over the place
