    Default Calling all Trinidadian Elite Footballers

    At that bastion of wisdom and common sense, Ontario Soccer Talk, they have a post about Trinidad and Tobacco recruiting Canadian players.

    Please, please, please tell me that couldn't happen at this forum without being deleted or reaction with extreme prejudice.

    Yours in indignation

    As much as I detest the thought of people shopping around for a country, people are free to post their feelings about it... If you don't like the posting of diverse opinions, why don't you go back to your 1-person forum so you don't have to deal with people that are different from you...

    Yeesh. Easy for you to say. You don't have to moderate things around here.

    Ahhh..So all in the name of a curiosity, eh? A scientific experiment.

    Well, L.T. me-bhoy. You're either very ballsy or have a predisposition towards self abuse.

    You'd have to be Chuck Norris to keep a topic like that off the boil around here.

    Why is this topic in the MNT forum a-gin?

    Yup and a tribunal recently ruled in favour of the players so Jack "Corruption" Warner has to pay up

    Cheeta, I'm sure that poster would have been ripped a new one on this board

    But there is a distinct lack of connection between a lot of the grassroots and the National teams (at least among members of my forum) so I wanted to see if there would be any reaction. The fact that there have been no responses kind of vindicates my concerns...

    It's funny, the girls forums are filled with parents discussing the fortunes of their girls' teams, but these people seem to have little or no interest in the rest of the soccer world. It makes me wonder if popularity of women's soccer is strong enough to sustain a strong professional and/or senior program. Most people seem to be interested only to the point of when their daughter gets an opportunity for a college scholarship. But I digress...
