Lance --- what Craig mentioned a bout having the mox of local n adopted players where the local player can be identified eg nana lowe n Andre Blake n other will bring that cohesiveness the need need
You are so right we need that and also the big companys in jamaica to sponsor our sports like grace, contintal food tasty patty and others so we can have this academy right now and the track teams. We also need to fire the entire jamaica football Federation and bring in New member going forward We must use our own players first then others nex if they want to play for jamaica don't beg them period.
It was said that the JFF told Whitmore they wanted all the UK based players on the pitch so that's what caused the confusion. No one knows anything about the other and some never played on Jamaica's pitch before. Mi noh know a weh dem come from wid dem foolishness where man jus come and run gone pan field yet never trained with the others before! Patty shop business dat breda!
Also, Craig have done your analysis of the players on the Panama team Vs the Jamaican team. Panama has players in the South America and Spanish Leagues.
Is it in Jamaica's DNA to play a tough, hard to break down, defensive style of football, if their top attacking players are injured or unavailable? Can a weakened Jamaica side play a pressing, fast paced style, if fringe players come in and dont understand or arent ready or capable of working in a system which relies upon 1 vs 1 duals and heavy pressure? It is incredibly tough for any smaller nation or side to compete if their best players are unavailable. Or if there isnt sufficient talent coming through from the youth set ups. Going to Europe and grabbing players who qualify for Jamaica is good, if you get them early and they are dedicated to the cause. Im not a Jamaica supporter but im looking from the outside at players like R.Morrison, M.Antonio and B.D.Reid and im seeing low appearance numbers for relatively older ages. They have 14 caps between them and they are ages 28-31. Throwing them into a side now in their career twilights could be beneficial for a few years but how many of them will be around after their playing days are done? And will the fast paced Jamaica style suit them at this stage? If the right types of experienced professional are blended with fresh crops of nurtured youth talent it can help to figure out a playing style and team culture where improvements throughout can be made. Its a shame because the tiny countries struggle to attract these types of players in their primes or dont see them until their best playing days are behind them. Of course Antonio is still thriving, but will it only be short term where Jamaica get to enjoy him? I would have picked him for England 5 years ago! Is it demoralising when home grow, born and raised players/youngsters see older, more established, world names get picked ahead of them based on previous reputation or history and not on current or potential ability?
Craig the truth is we need calibre players to play the game and our present crop is Okay to good with only 2 tending to great status (and you know them). What this team needs is a talented and creative individual to bring about phenomenal improvement in their play. Someone who's prepared to think outside of the box. I would love to speak to you on this matter.
Listen Back when we qualified for the World Cup a good majority of the team were unheralded unknown players Today We have Leon Bailey Aston Villa Michel Antonio west ham Demarion gray Everton Bobby reid Fulham Shamar Charleroi Tyreek eupen Taxi Toronto by way of anderlecht Andre Blake top mls goalkeeper Obviously we have too talent not mediocre talent A system an understanding and synergy is needed Now people may say it's too late to do a system in out national team But a good wise and prudent coach can Here's why Leon left Leverkusen recently for Aston Villa Different coach different system yet he was able to adapt swiftly and execute Now it is the coach who needs to be able to impart and sell that system tot he players andre
Lance is living the dark ages..talking about comparing Tappa to big international coaches because him win against minions in the caribbean. Have you forgotten that we went to the word cup already. The coach is way out of his depth and we need a coach who can bring some kind of identity to the team and stop this long ball rubbish that is no longer in the game
Come on Jamaica let’s make it to World Cup for once y’all playing suck man. 3-0 against Panama Is disgrace where is the hungry where is the fight if u can’t beat Panama forget about World Cup you just wasting time because if you play against Italy or Germany that’s gonna be quick 10-0 speed alone don’t play soccer it’s strategy and tactics speed alone get Jamaican players tired before 2nd half
Mr Butler I know u don't have a contract with the jff but your a jamaican. My advice is that we d people can decide who to represent us. Jff with immediate effect take this man as soon as d interview is completed.
Please take this man and put beside Toppa quickly before toppa and the team play Costa. I have never commented on any platform before but this man know the game more than ja coach.
Any Jamaican team that reaches the World Cup will be playing top teams and if they don’t have a playing style and tactics they will be demolished by a German team or any others in the final.
I subscribed immediately i discovered this channel because i am longing to follow someone who is objective and know the game better than most Locally. Thank you for establishing this channel. Lance was very parochial and petty in his interview and you were superb in the way you answered him.
Man ya fi have the reigns of the Reggae Boyz. Our best player came thru his coaching. Plus go watch a pheonix match. Yute dem a run like dem plugeen. Thats the kinda philosophy we neeeeed. #tappaOUT
Tappa has been a good servant, but I believe the job is a little bigger than him now and we need a technical coach for the players that we presently have.
Mr Butler please take up your phone and call Mr withmore. Tell him how to set the field and knock some sense in him with his old time game fashion. Jff need to use this man wisely, if this organization have sense the will follow my foolish advice.
Why do I respect Craig butler? Because he tells it like it is and is not afraid to critique people of his ilk if necessary. I have listened to and observed coaches in various forums defending other coaches instead of offering objective assessments of their performances. Everyone has an ego to some degree, but when they obstruct progress and development there is no room for it. Successive JFF administrations and this current one, plus the Reggae Boyz coach, have proven themselves incapable of getting Jamaica's football to where it needs to be.
8:40 you never said a better thing the players don’t respect the coach, I’ve seen this all the time in top league where coaches get sack when players not playing for them anymore
Whitmore need to get results but I don't believe he should be playing these foreigners who have to chemistry and no time to create any form of chemistry between other players. Many of them are there just for show and care nothing abbot Jamaica which I don't really blame them. Jamaica has enough talent.. just need some good directing and proper training couple with good motivation. I personally don't care for so called Jamaicans who has never been to Jamaica for over 20 years or ever. As Butler rightly said... Jamaica shouldnt be chasing these people. They are the ones who should be saying "Listen.. My great grandfather was Jamaican... Please let me play for your country!" When dem farin man deh a talk mi cah even understand wah dem a seh! Not English and it's not creole. Get rid a dem!!
Some of the football Jamaican Bloggers did call for them uk ball a them ago give Panama 3-0,4-0 Them hype them up and cause the Jamaican people them to mislead The blla them come and them dont understand concacaf operate
You made some positive comment Craig we need a system. I see what you do with Phoenix Academy. I Believe with right method reggae boyz can produce result.
Did this man just say the only other creative player he knows is his son 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣........."the only other one I know stop playing football and gone to dance hall!" #CLB#
The system you guys are talking about is what we had leading up to the 98 campaign. We had home based Jamaican players who were the core of the team who were playing for national pride. Importation of players and put them together will not get us anywhere
@@SDBOGLE they should be called up. We have Antonio leading the English league scoring so far he must be called up. So overseas player definitely not the problem. Coach don't have system or tactics to use the players.
This man clearly has the drive and desire to be successful… but the issue I have is his level of narcissism, “I feel proud to be beside Jesus, Marcus Garvey, …” Is he serious??? 🤦🏽♂️
@@njr10compshd15 watch the part again, he says those names were also seen as contentious, literally a comparison of himself and them. So stop defend dat, humility would help him to get more power in the ting. Make your points and don’t compare yourself to Jesus, that shouldn’t be a lot to ask.
@@jasongoonertv bro u know what he means smh. he not tryna say he is one their level of greatness he justsaying lance described him as contentious so he named the names of well known people who were also contentious so he is saying lance is actually complimenting him. and why is only dat you get from the interview smh. couldn't say smtg more positive?
Plain and simple, if Jamaica football wanna advance and do better hire this man to control everything!! JFF and them dunce self, and old stubborn and self centered Whitmore!!
They need to take Flemming out of the lineup or off the Jamaica will always lose when he’s playing because he’s a selfish player and if you don’t agree with me go and look at all of his games since he have joined the club also get rid of Whitmore because he’s not there for the best interest of the organization he’s only there for 💵
Only Jamaican use emotion in everything though they see and know the thing is not working they continue, tappa a general but he needs to goes. In any other country, tappa would never be setting in that role. Waste
All this man is saying is this; Theodore Withmore isn't too bright and he's not the right man for the job. JFF needs to stop being cheap and get a real coach
Everything accurate just that don't think we have the fastest players. 1 or 2 guys may be fast in the team but our players not fast. If a young boy in jamaica have speed he will end up on the track eg. Jahil Hyde.
Yes absolutely Bailey Burke Nicholson Fleming Antonio taxi powel grant east walker Bobby reid Of course we do Speed skill body strength intelligence creativity Discipline. Yea gleaned from playing in pro teams overseas. . Absolutely
It's a disgrace, how this man bash the English base player's on Sunday at the national stadium. He doesn't want the English base player's here because he wants to make money off his players at the Academy and that's a fact.
Let me tell you something - I don't need my players playing for Jamaica to transfer them to big clubs. Never did . Leon was allready in Leverkusen and a star before he played for Jamaica at 20 years old I have 23 players playing professional football And my new crop 11 are moving into Europe as we speak I have always loved my country and was very influential in Michail Antonio joining the reggae boys. I was never bashing the English players I think I was probably the only person screaming for them to go forward and press and they were not doing so . They all backed off. This was not good. Whether it was diaspora players or local they all played shit and lost 3 to 0 I lost three to zero and so did you as I am Jamaican What. Wanted to see was effort and a system being played and neither tappa or the players made an effort To stand on the sideline in a non and barely react after not one but three goals uncontested going into the back of your net is not good for a coach. I'm glad he listened I'm glad he did what I suggested and I'm glad we didn't lose and things looked hopeful for the team for the future I'm glad Tyreek Magee and Lamar walker were seen as beautiful players and creative heinous as I saw them And I'm glad Shamar got on the score sheet Simeon said I liked myself to Jesus and Marcus Garvey and Mandela. I said they were all seen as contentious for standing up for wht they believed was right and stuck to their guns. And I feel good being in the company of them and being seen as contentious. There is no change without someone standing up Jesus said to try to be Christlike To follow his ways Do you think Jesus was a little pushover that accepted bullshit?!!! He sat and made a whip of nine chords premeditatively and drove the money lenders out of his father temple. Edgar Evers Maryin Luther king Rosa parks Frederick Douglas Come forward Mark Mendel was first to suggest Jamaican footballers be paid They banned him for it at the JFF Players a Re professional and paid today There are some of us that hve vision That are they facts and do what they beleive is right The word narcissistic and arrogant are usually used by those that hide in the shadows and stab you in the back I have the luxury of looking my enemies in their eyes And I am a soldier not a politician
@@craigbutler2671 you are a disgrace, your son plays football for a living an u coach it, and you're gonna criticize another footballer openly putting his lively hood into question, when your son is just the same or cant do better in a jamaican shirt. You where wrong and the English base player's deserve a public apology from you. Your ego is unbelievable and you and your spoiled son should not be anywhere near the Jamaican,s football program. The Phoenix academy will be dissolved by the ancestral spirits ,trust me your barking up the wrong tree.
@@craigbutler2671 well said we need a system for real and players on the pitch at that moment who wants to fight whether its UK base players or our players...its who want it most !. btw I am 18 and would like to be apart of the development u have going on even if I am not on your team but to develop as I see u've done for other players please
@@kevan4642 I understand you would Love more diplomacy and acceptance of failure and incompetitence . You'll not get hat from me. Phoenix and my spoiled son and sons thousands actually have been coming out of the furnaces of Phoenix since 1980 and there have been many people like you wishing us to end And we're still standing. If you play horribly you play horribly If you playing in a lower league you playing in a lower league. Shamar Nicholson scored against Costa Rica and played excellent in terms of his efforts . Proving my point
@@kevan4642 also really now I have no problem with diaspora players What I have is when the diaspora players are given more of a benefit of the doubt than locally developed players . As the case of Kemar Toofe vs Shemar Nicholson One plays in Scotland Which is lower than the third league of england Shemar Nicholson is playing in the Belgian premier league and had he not been born in Jamaica I'm sure he would be starting So the point is equal and everyone must work
