When will Boxjuice or the team manager learn all the details neccesary for international travel. The team traveled across the world then play a match 24 hours after arrival at 7AM Jamaica time. What sort of performance should the JFF expect?
I have traveled to work in Singapore from the USA East Coast, believe me after 20-30 hours of traveling and the time change, you need a minimun of 48 hours to even find out how to put you shoes on right, much less play a football match.

You're right. They certainly could have planned it in advance. The story about planes not having space for all 28 people in the contingent seems to be quite silly. After all, is it really thinking outside the box to have them go on different flights?

The JFF definitely mess up on the travel arrangement. Surely they needed at least 48 hours before they played. Obviously we have a set of amateurs running the program. For all of thos crying for Bora's head, I will have to put you and JFF in the same boat. Right now there is no urgency to win but to develop the program, give the locals some exposure and get them ready for the qualifying. We cannot look at results but at how we play. Most of our local footballers have skill but do not understand the game. The same is true of the coaches. I was not for Bora getting the job but seeing what he is doing I am 100% behind him. You have to develop and expose the local players as they will form the core of the progam. They are there, ready and available for training and it is with these players with a sprikling of foreign players that will take us to the WC. I had stopped posting for awhile as there was too much ignorance on the forum. It has started again.

Just to help Boxhill a bit.
Send at least two(2) non-playing members of the travel party to the game location at least 48 hours before the team arrives to make sure that the hotel, training field and airport authorities are prepared for the teams arrival. This usually cost one extra night of hotel. In fact, he should have been in Indonesia before the team arrived.
I dont understand a lot a unnu u know, unnu seh yes boxhill a di right man. What what did u expect from a man who got fired as a team manager because he was inept? So dem (delegates) give him the top position cause dem get a 5 gran. Any thing jamaican politics ketch must mash up. Only in Jamaica and few other developing countries can a man who cannot manage a team get the entire federation fi manage.
Some intellectuals/researchers stated that a country is developed partly because its people are 'sophisticated' in their decisions.
