Soccerpro Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 This is nothing new. It's been reported that his father has always pushed him to play for Jamaica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThiKu Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 This article is no different than Aleman bailing for CR only for the lad to be a part of the last Canada u20 camp shortly after... I believe Jr. will play for Canada - especially if the JDG2 situation gets sorted out. The Jamaicans have a history of trumpeting themselves, which infuriates us Canadians because we seem to prefer self-deprecation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccerpro Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 http://www.24thminute.com/2009/12/david-hollett-forgetaboutit.html. Duane seems to have put this one to bed over two years ago, if he's to be believed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingback6 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 http://www.24thminute.com/2009/12/david-hollett-forgetaboutit.html. Duane seems to have put this one to bed over two years ago, if he's to be believed. Other than the details about U14, there is nothing new here. Dad may still be mad, but what successful player will waste energy holding that kind of grudge. You are giving the other of the article to much credit. Plus It's 3 years old.

ssk Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Maybe we need to put a little pressure on our media to explore the idea of Jr. dressed in Red and White and to do some speculation of their own?For what purpose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccaliam Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 ^ So Jamaican fans can start a new thread on their forum saying how it seems that Junior is on the verge of suiting up for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) Just play for your country Junior, not your dad's. Edited October 3, 2018 by Bully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alberta white Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Just play for your country Junior, not your dad's. Stop ****ing around Whilst I agree with you, the Jamma's could easily counter with. "Junior, Why you Play for a country who don't really care about socca, an who show you no respect because you don't knock a rubber plug around the Ice. Come play for Jamaica where, if you get us to the world cup you'll never have to buy a beer ever again!. Also you can retire to a nice house by the beach an' not have too worry about none of them immigration stuff, cause you got your citizan-ship when you become a SOCCA WARRIOR!" Got to admit ...its tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThiKu Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 He'll play for Canada if JDG2 does. It'd be no different than for Jamaica and his WC chances would be the same despite Jamaica saying "we killed in GC and only lost to USA 2-0" neglecting that we had the group of death (2 semi finalists and an excellent wild-card Guad) and also only lost to USA 2-0 .... oh and of course Tim Howard absolutely robbing us a few times!

I get confussed, Im used to seeing them as the West Indies, Throwing Corky Balls at the Heads of the English batting line up. anyway...Getting myself out of an embarrasing hole... Anybody remember when the USA qualified for 1990. They had to play T&T in a final Eliminator. Which lead to the classic Amercan Fan-ism, "What! we have to play both of them on the same day?"

Redcoatsforever Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hasn't Janiel played for Canada? He's definitely played in the youth side, but he's not tied to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzAndSting Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Not at a senior level. Ya I know not a the senior level. Why would anyone assume Jr's Dad is pushing him to play for Jamaica when Janiel's already played for Canada? He wants one son playing for each country?

ThiKu Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I've also wondered this. I think all these quotes reportedly from his father are a lot like the Aleman quotes only for Aleman to play for Canada u20 a short while later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone assume Jr's Dad is pushing him to play for Jamaica when Janiel's already played for Canada? He wants one son playing for each country? Being an opportunist. Jr. has the ability to write his own ticket, hes been a bright prospect for years and was in the pipeline at the pro level, Janiel may not be so lucky and needs all the connections and developmental opportunities to further his career. Thats just conjecture though obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well as revenge for mixing up Jamaicans and Trinis I could confuse you with a Scot. But then again it is only the Scots who get upset at being called English not the other way around. An Englishman being confused for a Scot, no bother, that's an upgrade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alberta white Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 ^ Furthermore, there is a strong undercurrent of demand for the English to be included in the Independence Vote. The last straw pole North of the Scotish border claimed 34% of Scots wanted Independence from England. However it failed to take into account a Straw Pole that had been taken in England which saw 68% of the English in Favour of a Disolution of the Union!
