Gents, I went to the HV MP game Monday night. I was impressed by some things, and not by others. Being based in farin, I don't get to see live Jamaican ball at the ground level, so it was great to experience it without the filter of youtube or other TV. What impressed me the most was the speed of the game - it was outstanding. What did not impress me was the general decision-making of the players and shockingly poor technical ability for simple things. If these players were anything to go by, finishing remains an elusive ideal for Jamaican ball. Oh...and the field.
Regardless, if these two teams are a reflection of the standard, it is clear that we have the fundamental ingredients for a progressively improved product. There is no doubt that if we can keep investing in our infrastructure our football can get much much better. Also, I was blessed to have seen a very touching and heart warming moment right in front of me when Bibi greeted Luton Shelton with a big embrace. There was a dedication ceremony to Shelton at half time. In the tunnel, Ricketts and Bullhead stood no more than 5 feet from each other, but I didn't see either of them talking (to one another). Not sure if I should read anything into that. Glad I went. I will make an effort to go see more RSPL ball in future. For those of us who care, it is highly recommended.
