Fan4life I will lower my intelligence and tell you that you know shit so do not come on the forum and spread bad vibes acting like you are somebody.The academy is for our footballers not Burrell so give thanks someone made it happen. I can tell you most people on here are just happy the project is on target so stay away with your politics. Collective minds made it happen.
Fanfoollife- dumbass- think unity and growth of football for once. Your who did what attitude make you look stupid. It does not take one man to build a house.

Carter, don't waste u time with Fanforlife aka "fairweatherfan". i am glad to finally see some progress with the Academy. Jamaican players are naturally gifted with Speed, Size, Skill. The Accademy will Improve the Players Strength, stamina, organization and Technique.
unuh stop spread propoganda. Exactly how is this academy going to improve the players strength, stamina, organization and technique.
Unuh clearly dont know what an Academy is??
Question, couldn't player's strength, stamina organization and technique be improved without an academy? Does the forum believe an irrigated football field with changing rooms and a referee's room with an equipment room will improve Jamaica's football??
Fanforlife made an important point. Answer the point and stop the anancy and girl responses about blind support and fairweather fan.
If fanforlife was a fairweather fan would he be asking such a question?? Why should he be like some of you blind supporters that just agree with everything and anything.

yo mate! u deh a England too long. while growing up in jam hear grown ups say that jamaicans who stay a England to long usualy come back mad. seems like a really true.
Serioulsy mate, you need to anti up your position as a Murderator, sorry a mean Moderator to JY, Jamatl or somebody else
Our national teams are like nomads when it comes to preparing for games this facility at least provide somewhere with quality to train and called home. The players will not wonder where is training today.
So let me get this straight, because i hold a different view from you I am a fair weather fan? Nigga please, get your head straight.
It is clear that some of you are simply lacking intelligence or is it just plain ignorance? Anything i said i can substantiate so i have no need to berate anyone. Whether you like it or not your "man" burrell is hoping on some ones wagon and i'm pointing it out so that you can see it because i am sure that in a few years time. We are going to hear the following:
Burrel brought Jamaica its first football academy, some how you simple minded folks would have forgotten that it took two separate grants from Fifa, 3 location changes and assistance from other groups and civil institutions.
To carter it is not a who did what attitude...think okay follow if you can, in any organization that receives government funds we ask for transparency right. So how is the JFF and its operations different? You might claim the JFF is a private entity...true but it also receives government funding as well as sponsorship from various corporate entities as well as relying on local institution for additional assistance where needed.
In short this academy business has been side tracked, delayed, muddled under controversy and plain incompetence on both Burrell and Boxhill's part. This is the third Location for this proposed academy and the only reason anything is on schedule is because of Uwi's participation, i am most certain of this. Have you ever even asked what happened to the money from the first grant the JFF received by Burrell, did you even think to ask why the need to go for a second grant by Burrell?
Well we now know the JFF is cash strapped but according to Fifa rules and regulations such funds are strictly meant to be used on the project on hand and nothing else so clearly the first disbursement was not. These are valid questions to raise but it seems you only listen to burrell and when the academy goes up all of a sudden everything will be fine.
You sir are delusional and honestly should refrain from posting your garbage here anymore.
I've been on this board since 97 a lot longer than you (My original username was JAMERICAN) I've seen many share their views and disagreed with quite a few but for too long we have accepted the mediocrity and corruption of these so called football administrators. We have become stagnant and the lack of planning, proper goals and financial prudence has seen Jamaican football suffer. So I am going to speak my mind on issues whether you agree with them or not. Unity is meaningless if one party is involved in corruption, lacks transparency, Is incompetent and is generally deceitful and rude. So to put it short i would never jump on Burrel's wagon he can simply go screw himself. However as long as my team needs my support i will support them.
I call it as I see it, don't like it? well i don't really give a [censored]. As long as unuh understand that. Zeen.
Fan4life and JT unnu guys better than me because I don't see this goal project getting any additional financing from FIFA going forward. In essence it is going to come to a screeching halt before it is completed.
FIFA is clear in what is expected for them to finance the goal project. It cannot be a shared project with an outside entity. That's why they required that the land be either donated by the government or be own outright by the FA. Who knows what Burrell is telling FIFA is taking place. This is the same thing they tried to pull the last time and when FIFA asked for documentation they found the JFF in noncompliance and pulled their funding. FIFA will give you the go ahead but once the noncompliance is discovered they will pull their funding. Currently the JFF is not in compliance with my understanding of FIFA's requirements.
Yes morefire1.. When I was young I heard the same grumblings... That England people mad. But mi live to see that that was just a way of making sure the Jamaican english returnee's never took over in Jamaica.
Lets face it, even though pelepapa has broken it down for you guys even after fan4life made his points the not so mad Jamaicans will still not believe it.
I took my boys to watch Will Smiths boy and Jackie Chan in that likkle kiddies movie. Jackie Chan had a part when he said even though you can see you are still not seeing.
Fan4life is merely pointing out the facts you and carter seem to want to distort. When this story was first announced I said the same thing fan4life is saying. The UWI has started a project and the JFF or Burrell to be exact has attached himself to it.
Like you guys Burrell hasn't got a clue why Jamaica needs a Football Academy.
Mr. Horace Burrell who told us over 10 years ago that the JFF is not in the business of laying foundations and building infrastructure. The same man who has been in charge of Jamaican football twice but has never implemented any programs or plans for youth development but is suddenly decided to give Jamaica a Football Academy.
Mek mi tell yu Morefire and Carter. The best you can do is stop praising Mr. Incompetent Horace Burrell and quickly post on the forum what you expect from and what the purpose of this Football academy should be so that Burrell and his crew can make reference.
The UWI and even CAST (or whatever they call themselves these days) have both recognised there is monies to make investing in the sports industry by providing courses and training.
The UWI has decided to create a multi purpose sports facility which included the football field, courts for tennis, basketball, netball and a running track. To follow will be courses that will make full use of this infrastructure. It hasn't got anything to do with the JFF more than the fact that Burrell and more so the JFF was a bit quicker off the mark to encourage Coaches to become accredited which will also enhance the infrastructure when the UWI rent out the facilities to various establishments to run certain courses or programs.
This will just be a mere training facility for the JFF. And a possible propaganda promotion. The more unuh call it the JFF academy the more unuh hope the people will accept it as so and maybe think the press cuttings will be enough evidence for Fifa to be fooled.
If only Fifa was like China who sends their own chinese workers fi build it. That way nuh money cant waste. But alas, like the Stadium up at sligoville, we realise Jamaica never really want the stadium, they just wanted the chinese money. Now stadium build up no one uses it. Just a bag of excuses. It to far. Bus nuh run there. It cold up there. The track only have 6 lane. horse dead and cow fat...
Put a music concert up there and every Jamaican suddenly know how fi reach up there. kissteet.
Yes English people mad. Coz unuh nuh like hear the truth.
Ah leopard nuh change him spots. Even though I can accept that most cat can adapt. Burrell has no legacy or phylosophy entwined with youth development. Why Why Why is he suddenly talking about football academies??
Like Taurus Riley said, Read Between the Lines. open up your third Eye.

JT, bwoy, that was quite an impassioned post. Looks like the insinuation about "England" and "mad" got you going.
Personally, I don't think a thing wrong wid yu. You is jus' a man who stick to you guns until proven otherwise.
Your mention of the Sligoville stadium (which has been discussed here in the past), makes one wonder if that facility was ever considered as a possible academy site by the JFF.

yes carver. I figure it must be a natural reaction to think "empty and unused facility" subtract "want a football academy" equal zero. Even if somebody got a U in their O levels they could solve that problem. Case closed.
Unless we are looking at the equation from the wrong angle.
"empty and unused facility" subtract "money fi build a football academy equals ??? which is not really the same as "empty and unused facility" subtract "fifa money".

Crazy JT! I am not sure what you are debating no one is claiming JA have any great track record in coaches, player develop and infrastructure for the progress of the game. Where there is progress though your negativity should keep out. I am sure you do not care about JA football since you are an Englishman but this a medium for you to pass time. I won't tell anyone.

I think this is a good location for the senior national team to train. UWI provides training to all the top professionals in Jamaica including doctor, nurses, lawyers, teachers, engineers, sprinters and now footballers.
A central location for top brains and brawn.
Reason why we need this done:
The team is expected to stage their first training session tomorrow afternoon at a venue to be confirmed.
and Carter you care about Jamaican Football bcoz why again??
I myself was not debating whether Jamaica had a great track record in player development or coaching. Or even infrastructure.
But it has been an endless debate whether the JFF have invested enough in those areas. My argument is that Burrell has never shown an attitude or aptitude towards youth development. Or coaching or infrastructure.
Being worried about how the Mayor of Kingston is handling the Stadia situation is more to do with the accessability of facilities rather than making sure infrastructure is available.
So Burrell incorporated a system that see's all wannabee coaches being compelled to do a fifa badge certificate or the likes. People like Carter will feel this is bcoz Burrell cares about football development. Some will even go further and say Burrell is thinking of setting a standard for coaches and referee's the like, thus creating a standard but is it the and only standard ?? Question... Who gets the money that prospective coaches and ref's pay for??
But I think we should all sit back and allow Carter to share with the forum his understanding of progress??
