    "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.

    RE: Sportsmax, JFF ink deal for home games

    This current administration does not enjoy the confidence of the key stakeholders in Jamaican football. Bringing about the necessary changes will require the participation of all Jamaicans. This can only be secured in an atmosphere of trust. The low level of public trust invested in the present administration makes it ill equipped to fulfill this mandate...


    ...What is different is that our administration will bring about the necessary levels of accountability and transparency to prevent potential benefactors from referring derisively to the JFF as “The Black Hole of New Kingston.”


    Investment is a function of confidence currently in short supply at the JFF. No one is accusing the current administration of any wrongdoing. Yet in the absence of transparency people are likely to reach strange conclusions. Trust, once lost is hardly ever recovered. It is futile putting new wine into old wineskin. We need a fresh start.

    - "The New Game Plan"

    Boxhill's manifesto, 2003
    ---


    Why the secret deals? ...building confidence?

    Elsewhere in the Boxhill manifestoreference is made to:

    ...our philosophy of being transparent...
    ...instep with our efforts to introduce greater levels of transparency to the operations of the JFF.

          I would guess the match would be on FSC.

            would also apply to what went on during the Burrell years? ...and, we would not have that would we?

            Is not that type of behaviour that which led you to then and leads you to now scream of
            "Burrell a tief"
            ?

            Well?

            I think it was during Burrell's administration -

            I am consistent...right?

            Massa right does not 'jump around' to suit who you like! ...certainly not for me. If it was wrong during Burrell's regime, it is wrong during Boxhill's regime! Now you on the other hand...move as the wind blows you???

            "...how much do they pay you?" !? Indeed?

                When it involves money and you make comparisons with Burrell's administration the similarityis uncanny.

                Where the 'money issue' is concerned you are a joker!

                Burrell - No accounting of deals on matches.

                Gate receipts did not tally with public 'view' numbers in the stands?

                Pronouncements on losses at the gates!

                Expenditures - No breakdown on those.

                Nothing we could get our teeth in...made sense to us!

                Boxhill -No accounting of deals on matches.

                Gate receipts did not tally with public 'view' numbers in the stands?

                Pronouncements on losses at the gates!

                Expenditures - No breakdown on those.

                Nothing we could get our teeth in...made sense to us!

                Conclusion: Seems similar to me!

                You see, Burrell "a tief" - Boxhill "white as snow"!

                    Nice to see Boxhill sign a deal to even better to see 2 very good friends of mine doing it with them. Both Oliver and David have done extremly well in their careers as media heads, both are very bright men.

                    Very proud of them.

                    btw David is a Cornwall man but I dont hold that against him.

                      Firstly: I agree with you about thetopic mirroring a political discussion...but, I do not follow the JLP/PNP apologists line.

                      Secondly: I look at the facts on both sides and call a spade a spade. In my outlook a spade does not become a diamond if I am looking at 'my candidate'.Cannot say the same for Mosiah.

                      ...and, as it relates to 'PNP/JLP politics' Lazie and BenJ are Mosiah (as he is on Burrell/Boxhill)clones.

                        My apologies.I should have been more detail. I agree with what you are saying. I'm saying the JFF is copycating the JLP and PNP in fulfilling their agenda when election time approaches e.g. road repairs, schools suddenly receiving money etc. Bora will be the excuse why things are suddenly coming together and if Boxhill loses it will be because of Captain Burrell.

                          <DIV>Just as long as you realise that the Captain did the same thing. Why do you think the ground-breaking for the academy, complete with FIFA president, was so hurriedly arranged?</DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV>The sad fact is, too many people seeking to remain in office often do just that - they find a hundred things to do just before the election while the rest of their tenure is relatively bare.</DIV>

                            Explain your nonsense. How do I fit into anything? Do you see me breaking ground for an academy? Are RBSC elections due?
