We as "Jamaican Football Analysts" nuh easy at all

[Assasin]

what fans Karl? When the team play how many people out there? How many people even watch the game and really cheer for the youths or contribute in a meaninful way, without condemning everything?

As you talk bout track, we acting as if Jamaica was always winning these medals. What were these same people saying when were scraping our one and two medals in major tournaments? When only me and you and a few would have pile in stadium and support. Some of these people are the same ones who was saying we might as well stop running and how the Americans, Canadians and British amongst others better than us since they have "first world" preparations. Make Bolt ever lose at a major tournament and you will see that they forget his history of record breaking and find every reason why he didn't do good.

We know our negitives but success don't happen overnight. The JFF is broke, They had the under 20, under 17 and senior teams to prepare, you think it cost nothing? Granted they could do more to raise funds but these are the same fans who complain where when a game play inna their backyards they won't even travel 20 miles to see the TEAM they love so much. Them nuh realise their 20 dollars for the ticket is important to the TEAM.

[Sir X]

But you valued preparation didnt you ? .....this exscuse would never have gotten you through college would it ..Based on our history (africans), do you realise it the odds of us even going to college as opposed to staying at home and watch everybody, much less to go there and perform so good.

Your defeatist mentality will leave you watching cars,trains, ships and planes pass you bye bye.

[Assasin]

The FACT is I could have been better prepared but ofcourse I had to deal with my situation and do the best I could, not condemning everybody who wouldn't help me pay my tution.

There is a thing called reality. Too many people dream about going to college but waiting for someone to get them prepared and get them through college. Nuff a mi brighter friends haven't achieved a degree because them still wanting for the best preparation and the best colleges.

It is about doing the best you can with what you have and remaining POSITIVE.

[Sir X]

Yeah dont worry be happy got you isnt that a song ? your reality is what you make it ,we agree on one thing preparation has no cut off limit its endless, where the JFF dropped the ball as it pertains to preparation we disagree.

They dropped it again and its becoming too frequent or familiar with our cultural norm and that is my issue...dont worry be happy isnt a reality I am about to except maybe you.

[Assasin]

just remember to be grateful for oppurtunities you get and not waiting to win the lotto.

Be grateful for small things as the alternative could have been NOTHIING.

[Sir X]

The lotto is a dollar and a dream,oppourtunities require preperation and dedication being gratefull doesnt mean you should deny yourself of achieving more.

[Karl]

Track - We have been among the top nations in the world

for a long long time.

Yoy are correct we have never had such a rich haul of medals at the Olympics as we did in Beijiing...but in terms of how the rankings at Olympics were being tabulated we have been up there from 1960s. If I may remind you this is 2011.

...as to our junior athletes we have been among the World's best from as long as I can remember.

In track certainly where sprinting is concerned we are in the TOP OF THE WORLD group.

...no reason it should not be so for football (soccer). We are being help back by our football administrators.

Sass, look what Japan has produced with players in high school and inferior clubs to France, where all of their players are in arguably better clubs?

But yes, sometimes we should keep in our minds that our players are attached to Mile Gully FC! And the one who is at Ajax is actually in Canada, not Holland!

[Bricktop]

If that is the case why bother field a team in the first place...if we gonna half ass it then say "well we did our best even though we are broke" might as well not bother...

[Assasin]

So we siddung a we yard as we alway do?

[Bricktop]

Would save a hell of a lot of money...or we can just continue doing the same and say how proud we are of the team when they come home after another first round elimination...

[Sir X]

Better yet blame coach and players for not being up to the required standard.But laud them for being there.....seems to be what we do best.

[Karl]

I hope you are agreeing that we can do better at developing our talents at home?
