Thanks.

Since when you turn football agent? you have your FIFA licence?

[Mosiah]

Erm...can't remember saying I was an agent. Please post my announcement to remind us.

Thanks in advance!

I hope he gets the chance to play for Jamaica. Right now I see an even spread of Reggae Boyz, both local & overseas playing all over the World in different leagues. I'm sure Bora can get 11 local overseas players: eg: like Shelton, Fuller, Bibi to name a few and 11 overseas foreign players.

Well, if he only shows up when all else is lost...yes, he might be the Marcus Gayle type!

Don't you read? Then read my post again!

'Here we go again' implies that you have made a conclusion.

Otherwise it would be 'Here we might go again'

With good coaching, a local team could advance thru qualifying. Hell, didn't we do that before?

What do you mean by a a) a local team, b) advance through qualifiers?

[Me]

Mosiah wasn't around football in those days, so he tends to say a lot of inaccurate things when it comes to the Simoes era.

Some facts -

We should remember the qualifiers was a long involved process with many phases.

For Example, the very first phase was one-off winner advance home and away series against SURINAM.

Very First Qualifier (match) -

31/03/1996, Paramaribo, Franklin Essed Stadium, 2.500

SURINAM 0-1 JAMAICA [HT 0-0]
Scorer: Theodore Whitmore 56' (0-1)

Jam: Warren Barrett, Fabian Davis, Gregory Messam, Durrent Brown, Linval Dixon, Ian Goodison, Christopher Dawes (Wayne Palmer 70'), Stephen Malcolm, Theodore Whitmore (Altimont Butler 79'), Michael Graham, Paul Davis (Paul Young 46')

Referee: Vanroy Burnes (Antigua/Barbuda)

Cards: Fabian Davis [Y 32'], Ian Goodison [Y 64']

NB: Of interest is the fact that Peter Cargill was not yet a part of the squad.

...let's skip to further along the journey.

Our 7th match -

16/10/1996, Ciudad de México, Estadío Azteca, 110,000

NB: Particualrly interesting as this match got us our best ever finish against Mexico in Mexico.

It is also interesting to note that the process of bringing in players playing in leagues outside of the island is well on its way.
