RE: EXCITING RED STRIPE CHAMPIONS CUP FINAL

Let me see. When I go to watch a Kansas City Wizards game, I could spend $20 to $25 easily for a ticket. So if they charge J$500 that is approximately $7.70 for a ticket. Still very reasonable for those who can afford it. I know there is also the school of thought that the Jamaican dollar is the Jamaican dollar and has to be weighed in the economy in which it is being spent. Because I have lived out of the country for so long, this is the only frame of reference I have and is comparing it to the value I know.

I wish I could pay $7.70 a ticket to go anywhere.

OK. Who's going?? Mosiah? Balla? link me on my Ja # (the one with the 7's head gone). Coming in tomorrow at 12:30pm. My Uncle died, funeral on Tuesday. Don't know what's planned for Sunday but link me still.

[Mosiah]

Exile, may not be able to go to the match, but I need to speak with you. I'll give you a call at that 7's number.

[Mosiah]

This match is far from exciting. And the quality of football is even worse! The second half better improve dramatically!

The match was lousy! ...but, the presentation...technical presentation by SportsMax was OK! I thought the commentators could have been better prepared. Not enough facts on teams, players, Jamaica's football...and for that matter, on the football being played.

Come on...we can do better than that.

There was for example histroy of our All-Island KO competition, history of the teams, stats on the players, stats on the coaches, ...etc, etc. that should fill gaps and 'flesh out' the presentation by McNab and the other gentleman.

There were some comments that were able and some that were and or crazy
