well done lionpaw you may also add the norwegian league poy but UNTIL u add some passing skillz to this MIDFIELDER'S game am a proud RUDI HATER and will continue to say RUDI A RUX. I wont say am an expert because am not i have BASIC football knowledge and i think footballers should BASICALLY BE ABLE TO PASS. I said on twitter while watching the first half of the grenada match he was passing to his team mates so maybe he just doesnt like passing to guys in yellow but he rubbished that theory in the second half and forced me back to the original theory #RUDI A RUX
u jus mad cause u have smaddy u want in the team in his place but i can tell u that based on his talent, rudi is the first name on every jamaican team sheet. we nuh need nuh hoilett or none a unnuh unknown, unimpressive ub40 wha never achieve nutt'n.
good goal 2007 wow. he was really spanking those shots on target back then but i think he's had 3-5 of those long rage bombs on target in the last 3 years.... 3 of them in one match. he wastes all the free kicks an breaks up a huge percentage of our few attacks with long wayward wild shots. THAT WAS 07 AUSTIN HAS REGRESSED #AUSTINRUX btw my favorite player doesnt deserve a spot on the team based on recent form (sorry dada) my other favorite player is now rosario harriott who plays right back but looks like a midfielder. on a final note, i wil not get caught in this homegrown/ub40 crap I SUPPORT JAMAICA AND ALL JAMAICANS!!! i dont call for players who i havent seen i dont follow hype and quite honestly i dont cry for the inclusion of most of these overseas based jamaicans because i have never seen some of them play
The only real hater on here is Ric. Rokkstar claimed to not be an expert and it is obvious. He is criticizing Austin for things that are secondary to his position, which is fine. That's like calling Messi ruks because he doesn't track back on defense. He has said nothing about Austin's defensive game.
Rokkstar could do us a favor and list which DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER excel at passing, shooting or driving an offense. How does Austin compare to: Mikel, Gattuso, Davids, Mascherano and Palacios in THOSE areas?
Maybe if Rokkstar's balla, Dada, knew how to show for the ball for short high percentage passes instead of tiptoeing around the field, that will relieve Austin of having to attempt low percentage passes. It shouldn't be your defensive midfielder's job to be putting through final passes on a regular.

Let me get this now, he was player of the year for his league, and player of the tournament for the Caribbean cup, but him can't play??? That makes no sense. Austin issues has been trying to do too much instead of playing his assigned role. What he needs to do now is step up to a more competitive league (which he is trying to do) so that he can improve further.
so you guys are telling me that its ok for a midfielder to pass the ball to the opponents? so his job is to win the ball and pass it back to the other team? all the guys that u guys mentioned who plays the same position for other teams pass the ball to they team mates and dont attack dada because he hardly plays and wen he or whoever else does JASON MORRISON who i plays deeper than #austinrux on tapparihno's team somehow manages to give the ball to his team mates when he wins it so i dont even have to go far to find a DM who passes better than #austinrux. lol

If the only fault you can find in your DM is that he can't pass, especially a DM on a JA team where no one can pass consistently or show for a pass, then I would say that he is a pretty good DM. BTW, I am not agreeing that he can't pass; just following your train of thought.

rokkstar a eeeediat. Which game you a watch whey Rudi cannot pass the ball? stop hate pon de man. He is player of the year in Norway last year, a so yu nuh rate Norway league? dat mean sey nobady can pass from Norway league den. Go watch some football and learn how to see and stop mek dumb comments bout Rudi cyaan pass.
Take any of these so call "class" DM. They hardly attempt any pass of note. The other MFs usually circle back to them when they win the ball and take the ball off their feet. Song, one of my favorite DM on offense, and sometimes Palacios are the few DM who get involve in the offense of their team consistently to even take note of their passing.
With JA playing with 5 midfielders Austin's supposed lack of passing ability should be the least of anybody's concern. There should be someone, a better passer, close by to take the ball off his feet, the same way they do or did with Gattuso, Mikel, Davids and Mascherano.
There are other holes in Austin's game more worthy of criticism, but if all you can see is his passing then don't criticize Tappa for automatically choosing him.
(IGNORING TECHNIC) of our TWO STARTING DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS ,jason and rudolph, who does sir tapp use in the more advanced role?
So that's no Tappa's fault. I think this issue was addressed a long time ago. Austin was actually playing more as the attacking midfielder at the time. I even jokingly said it seems like Tappa was playing Austin out of position in that role to protect Tappa's legacy as JA's best attacking mid ever.
i dont want to talk about card problems thats been overstressed, these DM's u speak of dont try to go barging into ppls halves when they get the ball. they make the simple pass to the guy they have a clear view of and rarely go over the top of the defence wit a wild pass that goes out for a goalkick. wi use to cuss cargill dey him tun back the ball too much but him tun it back to him team mate.
Can't believe he will come back pon this topic. He is even revisiting the transfer issue and a claim seh he was right.
All him a bank pon now is Austin failing, you can feel it dripping from every pore in his body.
No, Pelepappa...
U dead wrong. All mi a sey is that Austin will now have a chance to prove himself up against decent competition for his place inna Jamaica side.
I seriuosly hope sey he goes to Leeds and does well...who wudda love Jamaica side like I do and wish for him to fail ?
The ites dem pon dis forum split squarely down the middle...some man no waan NO English-born balla pon Jamaica side; some man feel sey it no matta...pick the best players regardless.
Austin is a confirmed starter pon Jamaica side regardless of competition or form...and I can't agree with that.
eg...the last GC..the best game Jamaica played in that tournament was against Honduras...Jamaica was fluid and dominant, at least in the first half, playing a way that people hadn't seen Jamaica play in a very long time, with a different cast of players...but that wasn't good enough to take into the crunch match against the USA...Austin and the other 'confirmed' starters HAD to be re-instated, with Jamaica playing probably its worse match of the tournament and losing easily to the USA 2-0.
Is almost like sey even if Jamaica were to have a far superior player to Rodolph Austin for that position, some man wudda still sacrifice the success of the team so that Austin would still HAVE to play.
I don't feel that way about ANY individual player inna Jamaica side...mi no business who plays as long as the team does well...
And Austin's supporters will go to any lengths to overlook his faults, which some man nah go do.
Wah mi a sey is that Austin caan run and hide now, not that he ever does but Norway and England is two different kettle of fish. What a go happen if Pratley and Elliott are far outshining Austin playing at the same level of competition this season...Tappa a go still ignore dem in favour of Austin ?
If Rudi does even reasonably well at Leeds, his place in Jamaica side pon lock but now, the game has changed and im finally going to have to EARN that place against his best competition for that DM starting role.
Anyone who wishes the best for Jamaica side should welcome that situation...no football team is about any one player.
i remember that match ric some ppl on this forum even started jokin that we looked like barcelona. lol. but in all seriousness we looked enterprising and we looked fluid and we looked like we wanted to BEAT THE OPPOSITION and we did. sorry rudi fans but unoo balla is a liability and until this MIDFIELDER learn fi pass the ball unoo nuh have a argument. 4-5 years ago when he was playin DM making the simple pass and waiting for good opportunities to gang them on target i was a fan. right now him waste the ball too much and if unoo cant see that mi aguh buy the glasses. Please tell me what kinda frame fit more comfortable pon unoo face.
Its crystal clear now for all to see that Rockstar is someone with special needs.
Also crystal clear sey certain guys no want see PMU ballas and ballas from the Gaza shine. iF you dont know, now you know, a Gaza time now.....Deal wid it! Seba dead an bury, Wadadah deh pon life support, Violett kickers 'Awol'
I'm called a Rudi hater by these 'ites, any truth to this?

It's a common theme with those advocating getting players from abroad...especially when Tappa does not bring in the players they're touting. HI does that a lot. He'll say things like, "If we don't bring so and so, we might not make the HEX."
One gets the sense that they're almost wishing (perhaps without even realising it) that the team would fail so that they can use that as evidence that they were right.
Even Metro picked up on it and made a post to that effect a few weeks back.
Carver2, glad you see it to.. You know its one thing to root for your fav player but to wish and hope for a player thats not one of your favs in natl team to get injured or fail is down right evil.
The guy call Ric s straight fraud! Watch the one dem dat sey dem a christian to. Real talk!
Fiya, a long time mi deh yah a watch dem "fling stone behind dem artist" yah. Especially the christian one.
Its amazing fi hear dem man yah chat bout some balla inna some farrin league weh granny did have a dog weh did breed a puss weh migrate and have a rat shoulda deh pon di national side. Then turn around and cuss the coach fi buss a balla from Jamaica "di bush league" pon di national side. Then when the balla get a contract abroad instead a big up the balla dem start talk seh a farrin "bush league" dem gone.
Fiya, dem bug yah cant even name a local balla (not in the current setup) but dem claim dem a expert bout Jamaica football.
Mi ago start a fund fi buy some toilet paper fi some a dem bug yah weh come in yah pon a regular come chat dem verbal diaharea.
Here's the truth of the matter!

Be honest with yuself fi once. Yu no like di man from mawnin which is ok, because is not like you know anything 'bout football anyway. Anybody stick dem neck like yu did against a player nah convice me seh they now want dat player to succeed. Where would that leave you? Rudi's failure is the only thing yu can point to right now fi seh yu know anything bout football, and wi know how yu like fi thump up yu chest, so go try fool someone else.
To show seh yu no know nothing bout football at any level, yu a talk 'bout a tournament match against Honduras which outcome didn't have any implication, as a matter of fact Honduras came off the better for losing that match, they faced CRica and advanced one additional round, JA faced the USA and went home. Some prize for their great display. One thing you don't know about the Honduras and CRica of the world is that they play tournaments to advance as far as they can, not to win every game like Jacans expect of their team. That is why you didn't understand what Barnes was referring to when he discounted the USA game. What Barnes was doing was mapping JA's most probable route to the next round. Something you have no concept about.
So you actually expected Tappa to change his starting lineup because the SECOND string performed admirably in a meaningless game for both teams. What would've been Tappa's reason for playing his second string team against the USA? What was JA's record at the time of the USA game? Undefeated and Zero goals against? Of course none of that would matter to a Monday morning quarterback.

where this rudi cant pass concept come from? ive never heard anyone make an assessment of rudi and say dat. a man wha cant pass win mvp in the carib cup and norway player of the year? all commentators and football analysts out here heap most praises on rudi and demar. the only downside to his game is his yellow cards. that's the only negative i hear ppl speak on. which match dem eediat ya a watch? man probably mek one bad pass and all of a sudden him can't pass in their eyes. Dont talk bout Hoilett and Pratley cause dem nah light up no league. rudi not even reach a Leeds yet and him already a light it up.
