How lovely. Butthe reality is that T&T is a racist country. How may East Indians have represented T&T? And they make up at least 40% of the population. Many years ago, there was a goalkeeper called Jean Moutet who could well have qualified to play for T&T. But he was the wrong colour. he saved a penalty against Regiment in a final. remember him, becasuse I DO. What about Ian de Bruin?
The nature of the Trini is to rake and scrape and fight for every morsel, so in order to get past this level you have to be Superman. My nephew Joel Ribeiro represented T&T at junior level. He was told quite a few times that he was better than Shaka Hislop, but he was overlooked in the final analysis
Whilst i being a trini, wil always feel a great sense of pride supporting the team, unfortunately, the majority of Afro-Trinidadians are racists, and the team is essentially racist. It was good psychology to incleu Chris Birchall in the eleven to exploit this racism, and cause them to try harder to prove they are better and that he did not deserve to be in the tea.
Well done young man, but don’t be exploited.

Great story. I hope Birchall and the other Trini’s get their salary dispute with the T&T Federation ironed out soon.
