  3. st.geo fan says:

    no diss but ronde has never performed in cupmatch, but your lost is your brothers blessing, Nias for cup match

    • Tru St.G fan says:

      I guess u believe he had nothing to do wit the victory last year. Get well Oronde. Look forward to your leadership and decision making that knocked somerset down for under 100 next year. To tit. All the best. Cup not going anywhere. St.G all the way!!!

      • In Denial says:

        Wow!!! Did the Cupmatch team not have a coach that guided them to the victory! As for leadership, I think that term needs to be used quite carefully because as a leader you should be one that can be relied on when the chips start to crumble and the team needs to be pulled through. His performance on the field is by far a performance of a leader!!!!

    • Tru St.G fan says:

      And yeah I agree. Nias for cup match.

    Why would Ordonde be captain anyway? He has not been here all season playing any league games for the club!
    Favouritism again with Foggo/Bascome clan! Lionel Cann is the better man to captain the Cup Match team, he has the talent and experience.
    ST. GEORGE’S BOYS FOREVER!

  7. Pitbull says:

  9. Always Watching says:

    As everyone knows we tend to get wee bit testy when it come to cupmatch..the fact still remains that what will be will be and i hope its a good game.

    on a personal note, i hope tit kicks the s**t out of somerset. :)

    Well can’t you see the pattern. Bussie foggo resigns as chair of selectors and is replaced by George cannonier as the new chair. Swapping one of the clan for another. All about who controls the power at st Georges. And we know it’s the foggo’s.

    You can bet you will see onias come in to replace his brother orondae in the team!

    • Somerset says:

      If st.Georges fans don’t want Onias he can bring his talents west. We would welcome him with open arms. East seems like a real weird place. Cup comming west and staying there.

    I expect for the St. George’s Selectors to base their decisions on heart, spirit, determination, passion, integrity, respect and honor – not on ‘we can’t take him because he did this or that’ stop holding personal things against players. Take the guys because you know they are more than capable on the day. Thanks Lionel for stepping up for the eyes are on you, George and Wendell – for who knows the prospective players better than you three. God Bless your decisions.
