You are right About Teach and you are right about the

Just to say that U-17 squad Holness, Marsh...and a host of others were talented enough to have been at the FIFA U-17 final tournament...but the teaching????

Yup!
Talent abounds!!! ...but you need properly trained teachers...teachers with the know-how to assist development. Teachers who know 'football'! For a suh-maal country like ours to be so blessed with talent and to constantly 'bury' our talents

Perhaps, the BIG MAN UPSTAIRS may get fed up and seh, Cho! ...an tek weh di talent dem???!!!!

You are right about Teachers doing it right. The teachers right now who are teaching the Jamaican coaches. They are limited teachers in football ideas and football knowledge. All good men but limited in the CONCACAF REGION AND BEYOND in terms of new football knowledge and player development. This can be said for all league in Jamaica. And last you are right about the BIG MAN UPSTAIRS....GOD. Not the head of the JFF leadership.

The players are suffering and going down hill faster than ever. They reach a point of no returning to the game beyond the shore of the land we love....Jamaica.

Agreed!
...that is why I keep at 'the powers that be' to change (thinking) and to act without delay. ...but will they (the current leaders) ever change for the better?

Pathetic ... Really pathetic

How many months past in reference to education (was it football?) I asked=told - nuhbady nuh born big suh?

You guys are perhaps too old (brains/minds/thought processes) to pick up on what 3 - 30 somethings do not even try at...and in today's world even 100+ years olds grasp just about immediately!!!

...as mi seh sum drap pan dem ead suh growth stunted...

...an ow many years past mi a talk bout di wuk a de teacha dem an ow wi fail fi tek full had-vantage of dat dere human resource? ...2000 tuh present pan dis yah site???!!!

Pathetic?
Indeed!!!

some drop 'pan dem head indeed. some drap harder than others .....

where did ANYBODY EVER SAY to do away with schoolboyt football????!!

the issue is and has always been what/where is the BEST place to develope our footballers .... the answer .... football specific academies not traditional schools! what is unclear about that? or where does it suggest that anyone (especially me)EVER that football ought not to be played in schools?

that attempted obfuscation is what was really really patheitic alomost to the point of being unbecoming.

Well? Well?
So the point was not about developing footballers in schools...but about "best place" to develop footballers?

Wonder who where they who made pointed comments and asked specific questions on - naming any country where development of footballers occurred in schools and also which countries ever included schools in the process of development of footballers? ...and a host of other questions on part schools played in development of footballers? ...or stated emphatically that schools were never a part of the mix in development of footballers? ...or it was a waste and alluded to our schools making future contribution to development of footballers being a fantasy?

...so you were never on about the point of development not taking place in schools/or schools being used to aid development?

Well? Well?
I will not make a comment on your instant comments, save...yuh cudda fool mi???!!!!

- and let me hasten to say, I wrote the above based on my recollections. There was no need to for me to conduct a "search" of our database ...and let me remind that the reggaeboyzsc.com forum's data base is there for "search" - even a "google search"..
