Wow...I am stumped by your deep analytical brilliance....is all I can say

RE: Billy Grifiths at Cornwall vs William Knibb

You get paid to watch football where

IT better not be Jamaica--LOL

hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Jamaican knowledge off football is very limited.I have come across many off the so called top figures in terms off knowledge an i bury them, they lack vision. The masses are even worse so they are fooled easily.

I hope you not braggin that you get paid to watch football in jamaica, because thats like me sayin i get paid to finish last place.

Dcup football is high school football , alot of blind passion. These are schoolers playin football at the lowest level. The lack off technical ability in jamaican football is shocking. Tons off individual talent but lack off certain key fundamentals preventsschool boy footballfrom going to another level in terms off collective play.

Dont worry about my lack of information and imagination where football is concerned, I get paid very well to go watch football games and keep the like sof you informed.



We will see when the season gets going what is happening now is the separation of the teams and the weeding out of the weaker ones and the unlucky ones who are not fortunate to get into a zone like F where there was never ever any competition.



Remind me of the last good club team from Mandeville again or good school boys team from that region?



I have good friends who went to DC BTW and most of them are behaving just like you are, but I can excuse them, having only won the ADIDAS Cup Cup in when 1973 or so, they are hungry for nay football 'success' they can get and an attempt to live vicariously through these youths who they have done nothing to help in any way or form.

the late Dr garth Taylor renown ophtalmologist

Garth Died?

We were scouts and went on a few camps together. I think he is Whilston "Willie" Taylor's brother.

Willie was captain of CC's 1955 (?) All-Island Schoolboy Football Champions. He went on to play for St. James and Jamaica (I think)...became a FIFA ref and president of the JFRA and either the JGA (Golf) and or the Constant Spring Golf Club/Association (or whatever it was called).

Do you sleep with a photo of your dear Sandre?

[Lawless7]

RE: Billy Grifiths at Cornwall vs William Knibb

I saw cornwall play twices in the preseason and there striker are very limited. Good defenders will hav eno problem dealing with them. Guess thats why they are not scoring at the moment.

BY the way Sandre scored against steths in the ben francis knock out

Set up the goal against Monroe and tormented there defense all day. At times Sandre didnt belong playing against such poor opposition. Not to mention the fact that the game he hurt his knee in he scored 2 against Happy grove(portland) the best dcosta team from that side off the island last season.

So know your facts.

RE: Billy Grifiths at Cornwall vs William Knibb

Edmunson scored 15 goals last season and Cedric Daley got about eight..and these were against quality opponents..not May Day or Porus

RE: Billy Grifiths at Cornwall vs William Knibb

I saw Nakia play 2 games against dc played very well in oen poor in teh other. A very good player , technical not much pace but fantastic vision.

Eddie the other midfielder very quick , wonderful balance going left and nice touch passes.

BOth these midfielders are very good the fact that CC is having problems is down to the fact that they do not have a top class striker.

RE: Billy Grifiths at Cornwall vs William Knibb

Well we agree there boss, especially about teams raising their levels to an acceptable level. I recalled 2002 on the eve of the IAAF WJC our track and field team was in the Bahamas on their way to winning 80 medals as usual.



The live interviews we were subjected to was some thing else entirely, it was horrific and embarrassing to say the least but interestingly all of those who gave those one word responses or just nodded their heads on radio interviews came from certain schools.



I recall the JAAA urgently setting up tutoring sessions so we did not have a repeat at the WJC

Sickko (9/29/2006)Speaking of doctors you might have been delivered and your mother's pre and post natal cares were administered by a Cornwall doctor. You might know that Cornwall was the cradle of medicine for years as we had the first physics lab of any school in the Caribbean, not just Jamaica.

I was taken aback when Branford Gayle said he was lowering the admission for football players and track athletes for the Munro Sixth Form so they can start winning again, not sure if this is the direction where we want to be moving.

</DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV>You don't need to tell me about CC's academic excellence. </DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV>When Gayle said we would be "lowering the admission", what does that mean? I'm sure, no matter how we might lower our admission requirements, it will never get to the level of some schools. And while we are lowering, I would hope that others will begin to raise their requirements, academically and otherwise.</DIV>

I learned so many things about Cornwall at our 110th anniversary celebrations recently, that six years of attending there never tauight me.



We had two Rhodes Scholars addresing one function for example one of which is a world famous nuclear physicist who played DCup for four years and cricket and ran trcak as well and he had time to win the jamaica Scholarship and the Rhodes simultaneously.



We learned about the late Dr garth Taylor renown ophtalmologist who also played every sport and still had time to do well in the class room.

The fact that Cornwall has been able to win football titles has never come at the expense of academics by the way and I can copunt on one hand the number of boys who have played for Cornwall since 1980 or so that did not come in through Common Entrance or GSAT.

You would be interested to know that Dean Weatherly got the job to coach the Cornwall team only after Steve Bucknor left in a huff when the school would not allow a few players to repeat fifth form twice.

</DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV>But you and others should never discredit the effort and talent of other schools, like Munro, who have not won in several years. When you might allow students to go to 6th form with 4 CXCs, others might not. Ever thought about what Campion might be dealing with? How does a mother of a student with 9 grade 1s make room for another player with 4 grade 1s and 3 grades 2s just because he is a fooballer? We all have set our rungs differently.</DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV>One of Munro's midfielders has 8 grade 1s, for instance. Yes, some are repeaters. There are a whole range of reasons (escuses you may call them) why some schools will always be at an advantage. But what we don't need are the silly jokes. It just could be a Munro doctor who has to attend to one of your daCosta Cup champions.</DIV>

He missed the first game, the loss to Maldon, played against St James High and was substituted against Herbert Morrison as the injury flared up
