    McNab appointed advisor to Minister of Sport

    Now this is hilarious on so many different levels...but why am I not laughing more?


    McNab appointed advisor to Minister of Sport

    Former national footballer and coach, Allie McNab, has been appointed advisor for matters related to sport to Minister of Information, Culture and Sport, Olivia ‘Babsy’ Grange, the latter confirmed yesterday at a brunch to honour sponsors of the Jamaica Netball Association.

    McNab, who played football for Jamaica between 1963 and 1985 and coached the national side from 1987 to 1988, ran for the Jamaica Labour Party against the People’s National Party’s Sharon Hay-Webster in the 1993 general elections.

    In addition to playing football, McNab also competed in track and field, which he told the Observer was his first love, winning a gold and two silver medals for Cornwall College at the annual Boys’ Championships in 1966. He was also named the Victor Lodorom Boys’ champion athlete in the same year.

    Between 1977 and 1991 McNab worked with the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation providing coverage on the Central American and Caribbean Games in the Dominican Republic, as well as meets in Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago and Guyana, as well as the 1984 Los Angeles and 1988 Seoul Olympic Games.

    Why do you laugh Sicko ?

    I liked and respected him as a footballer, I also don't think he is a bad commentator either but I know nothing about his political life so what is it that makes you laugh.

        I don't think he is that bad, he is very good at analyzing individual players but not so good at strategy in my opinion.

          Maybe because he is a succesful business man ?

          Maybe that disqualifies him ??

            He was horrible, you apparently did not hear him talk about "watch the heads and the foots go up" every time a corner was coming in...

              I am really trying to wonder what kind of advice Ali has to give to the Minister that would be worthwhile...or is this another way of making sure a good loyal labourite gets a regular paycheck.

              My thing is that while Lazie and others get riled up about the PNP corruption, and there was a lot of it, political corruption is not unique to any one party.

                OH no dont go there, successful business on which planet? You obviously never heard or chose to ignore when the bailiff went to his house at the crack of dawn and stripped it clean, leaving with even the curtains and silverware for bad debts...and this was after he lost the gas station.

                  How do you move from loyal labourite getting a regular paycheck to corruption ?

                  Do you believe Ali McNabb needs a paycheck from the Ministry of Sports as an advisor ?

                  LOL !!!

                    Never said it was unique to one party. Stop trying to twist what mi say. Everybody knew that your problem with Ali's appointment was because he is JLP.

                            Nothing to do with his party colours, more about what he can bring to the table to justify his salary, this is the same thnig with the appointments elsewhere, but do you have anything else to add except to accuse me of political bias?

                              Suh you have a crystal ball that can tell how much contribution Ali can make? Isn't it the same way you looked down at the possible appointment of the likes of John Lynch? Opps must be revelation from the crystal ball.
