    Whitecaps release forward Dever Orgill

    Soccer: Whitecaps release forward Dever Orgill


    By BRUCE CONSTANTINEAU, Vancouver Sun July 8, 2010 Be the first to post a comment



    The Vancouver Whitecaps have released talented 20-year-old forward Dever Orgill after he injured teammate Zurab Tsiskaridze in training Tuesday.

    Orgill tackled Tsiskaridze viciously during a practice game, forcing Tsiskaridze to leave the session on crutches. The first-choice left back missed Thursday's game against AC St. Louis and is listed as day-to-day.

    Head coach Teitur Thordardson was clearly appalled by the incident and stopped practice for a minute to severely scold Orgill.

    Orgill has had on-field behavioural issues in the past but Whitecaps director of professional teams Greg Anderson wouldn't say if that played a part in the decision to release him.

    “We just decided it's time to move forward to look for other strikers to fill his position and to make the club better,” he said.

    Orgill joined the Whitecaps in October 2007 and had four goals in two recent games with the residency team. The native of Port Antonio, Jamaica had no points in three appearances with the senior squad this season.

    Orgill's suspension opens door up front

    Scoring goals has been a problem for the Whitecaps, but help might be waiting in the wings

    Two things will be crystal clear when the Whitecaps kick off against AC St. Louis tonight at Swangard Stadium: Vancouver needs help up front, and that help won't be in the form of Dever Orgill.

    At the midway point of the 2010 season, there is plenty to be pleased with. First place in the NASL Conference and a league-low eight goals against for starters.

    But head coach Teitur Thordarson is still searching for a solution at striker, where tonight's opportunity falls to a pair of midfielders in Jonny Steele and Nizar Khalfan.

    Orgill, the residency graduate filled with promise and picked for a breakout season at forward, won't be near the field.

    The club suspended Orgill Wednesday after the 20-year-old Jamaican lost his cool at Tuesday's practice. Orgill chopped down teammate Zurab Tsiskaridze with a malicious kick that ruled the starting left back out of tonight's game with an ankle injury.

    The pair had been battling for a ball during a mini-game.

    "We've suspended him indefinitely, until we make a decision how to move forward," said Whitecaps director of professional teams Greg Anderson. "That decision will come quickly, but we haven't all had a chance to weigh in on it."

    This isn't Orgill's first incident with the club.

    Three weeks ago, while playing with the residency team in the Premier Development League, Orgill slapped a red card out of a referee's hand. He was suspended three games by the PDL, and an equal length of men's team time by the Whitecaps.

    He's only played 84 minutes in three games for the men's team in 2010.

    "He doesn't control his emotions and that's never good," Thordarson said after Wednesday's practice.

    Thordarson was cautious with his words, but it's likely that Orgill has played his last minutes for the Whitecaps.

    Whether or not he exits, there will be plenty of new faces entering the mix, especially at forward. Vancouver has just 14 goals in 15 games, which has resulted in more ties than wins for the 6-2-7 club.

    The international transfer window opens next week and already Wednesday there were players on trial.

          Sickko did speak of an incident with the national team.

          Only hope Colour and others can give him a word of advice. If he go to play for St.Georges I am sure he will be under heavy manners.

            He needs to grow up and it will be a long time before a professional team gives him a second chance.

              This kid looks to be out of control.
              Seems he is not aware of the chances he has gotten and how lucky he has been. Maybe he needs to come home and play for St Georges for peanuts compared to what he would get elsewhere before he understands himself.

                Exactly, one does not attack a team mate and try to hurt them and still gets picked up by another team, maybe he does not understand that while his skills might be in demand, he also has to show composure and self discipline

                      Where in Jamaica has he played? ...and were there any similar incidents?

                        Many of our young talents and their advisors back home (caoches, managers, owners of club, etc...and for that matter our establish players...do not recognise that it is never about them but all about what you can do for my (coach, club, TEAM) advancement! ...and it is not up for debate! Can't help ME...no look in and in by chance the player got a look in - Goodbye!

                          He was a kid of 16-17 when he left Jamaica. He played for Titchfield and I think Progressive youths in Port Antonio and the national youth team.

                          I only hope he hasn't mess up the Whitecap link for other Jamaicans because they are a progressive outfit.
