Where are the Tim Hector archives ?
I'm in transit and feel like raising some jumbies.

they not there? finding some nice ones
Admin might like this one from Mich Mac
"I got into trouble about my shades. I bought a pair of expensive designer shades and someone [he believed it to be a team mate] stole it. I was kind of angry". How did he display that anger? Now he is tight-lipped; "I'm not going to say that. Coach [Clyde Butts] rest me for the next match though". I told him that there were rumours that he took his bat to one of the players and I asked him to confirm or deny the reports. "No I didn't do that. That is not true. I walked away. Coach took me away."

No...he created a special archive for the fan the flame articles. Brilliant musings on cricket and caribbean life in particular.
Then ryan had amnesia and never said where he put them.
In reply to Commie
lol
damn, this archive is rich...
In reply to Commie
Pure Donmanism right there from Gayle. It just didn't start. Beckles was indeed correct
In reply to doosra
Those Percy Patson's pieces were funny
In reply to sudden
My single disappointment with Beckles on that issue is that he apologized. The broad analysis was intellectually sound. Yes, people were upset about the use of the term and many disagreed with his analysis. However, I think the apology detracted from the broad analysis.
In reply to sudden
the archive sweet bad. yes indeed good laughs
In reply to sudden
If only you knew
In reply to Commie
Shame on you all
In reply to Commie
Here is one to keep you going
They know not of his art
In reply to JOJO
True. I never thought he should have apologised. He was correct from what I have heard.
In reply to Commie
Gotta say I like Percy's style. Too bad he wasn't a Green
arrite plenty already for tonite
save some for nodda blast
In reply to sudden
Amazing how some of those arguments have lasted.
In reply to sudden
Winston sounds like pondie...or JahJah.
Survive or succumb -
hot sunday
Sudden, BKing's method
In reply to Commie
More Pondie than Jah Jah. He did say he was a man if the name isn't a dead giveaway
In reply to sudden
Percy at it again
In reply to JOJO & Sudden
I hope you guys will both have a great week-end.
Now, Unnu know why we all cannot get any better...because peeps like you who KNOW better find it hard to separate your personal biases from your actions. In that regard you guys and Chrissy are no different.
Beckles issued a statement of regret...you may stretch that to apology if you want. Beckles said someone tampered with the video..hmmmm.
Beckles was out of order to say the things he said - I understand wanting to make jokes in your presentation and saying things for effect but even then he was out of line and wrong. He should know better.
CG & Marlon back then had only a HS education (still do but now have age on their side). Wavell, started UTECH but had not yet finished.
When I was a child I acted like a child, now I am a man....
In reply to HumbleCalf
What is your point, mate?
By the way have a great weekend too
In reply to HumbleCalf
You saying all off that to say what again? That you have to come to the defense of your fellow Yardie?
In reply to sudden
Beckles was wrang and out of order. And, when you consider his status in the Caribbean, he was wranger and even more out of order.
In reply to JOJO
Stueepes.
In reply to HumbleCalf
I beg to differ. Considering his status he needed to say it. Such behavior, Donmanism, is cancerous in any team. What he did wrong was to apologise
In reply to sudden
And more Percy.
Lix
In reply to HumbleCalf
The thrust of his argument was intellectually sound and he was the perfect person to make this argument because of his standing. He was wrong to apologize.
In reply to sudden
The youth them need help, they do not need to be ridiculed. Beckles used his privileged position to smear the fellows.
In reply to Commie
Percy would have fun nowadays
In reply to HumbleCalf
Yes they need help and they need to be ridiculed when necessary. What they did to Harper and Skerrit continues today. Gayle has learnt nothing and he has not grown up if that was the problem
In reply to JOJO
I guess I just have a fundamental difference in opinion about this - do you and Sudden really expect a higher level of thinking from these guys, seriously?
In reply to HumbleCalf
...and you're suggesting that they never got help? That they were never offered help?
So people of influence and high standing are not supposed to point out the real issues because that might make some uncomfortable?
In reply to HumbleCalf
Actually I dont. What surprises me are their supporters and enablers
In reply to sudden
The man sey 'im sleep, lick ball, drink rum, drunk and sleep again...wha yuh expect 'im to learn.
In reply to HumbleCalf
The problem is that these guys have been empowered. They were empowered by facilitators (like you) who think that they should not be criticized and called to account because of their situation or how they grew up.
In reply to sudden
Yuh straying...peeps support CG the entertainer (cricketer)...I do not know about enabler...sounds like you just threw that in there.
In reply to HumbleCalf
Enablers as in advisers who don't point out flaws. Supporters like those on this board who gloss over their boorish behavior
In reply to JOJO
If I were Beckles, I would think that I lowered myself to their level in that presentation.
If you think about what Beckles did to drive home his point, it only served to strengthen CG and Marlon. When you add the fact that youngsters DO want to be like CG, Beckles' point was lost on the instant gratification generation.
You are not going to help these guys by being antagonists.
In reply to HumbleCalf
I don't know what to say mate. You just lost me there
In reply to HumbleCalf
No. The reaction (and shortsightedness) of their supporters strengthened them.
This is why Beckles and WICB should have stood firm.
In reply to Commie
Man yuh nuh see dat we winning again, why yuh airing the dirty laundry in public like dis.
In reply to JOJO
Awright sah. I am sure if you were editing Beckles' presentation, while you would keep the thrust, you would have taken a different tact and not try to score comedy points using dem boys.
In reply to HumbleCalf
Its funny to see how the same things have been happening for so long.
And yet you would swear they hadn't.
In reply to Commie
Once yuh winning all sores are covered and past sins forgotten. Yuh dun know dat.
In reply to Commie
You know I wonder about that sometimes. But then again humans like to bury their head in the sand
In reply to HumbleCalf
What has been forgiven?
In reply to sudden
Well...that too shall pass.
In reply to Commie
So what happened to Percy? What did he stop writing?
In reply to Commie
Amin don't like call outs apparently..
In reply to Commie
Forgotten and forgiven are 2 different things.
Forgiven is wha Narper did to u, forgotten is wha CG and dem said to Harper et al.
In reply to sudden
No idea.
Must have gotten bored.
In reply to sudden
Ask him again!!!!
He use to write some cussout columns too!! Commie can tell yuh about them.
In reply to sudden
lemme give you some more to bellyache about
and when you are done answer this ..... why was the plus size one kicked out of Somerset along with Viv?
lemme answer it for you.... because someone in authority who did not earn their respect ,
In reply to HumbleCalf
What did I do to Narper?
In reply to Commie
He sends his love and admiration and says your words are forgiven but not forgotten.
In reply to ponderiver
Do you agree with Garner?
In reply to HumbleCalf
If a man slap you and you take a 2x4 and burst his head open the issue isn't about forgiveness but about recognising who not to slap.
Narper has nothing to forgive me for.
I have never initiated any problem with Narper.
I certainly don't randomly disparage people on here.
In reply to HumbleCalf
yeah that was a licking indeed
In reply to sudden
it was a sweeping genaralisation and bearing in mind his treatment at Somerset I would have to say it lacked empathy and balance
In reply to doosra
Dammmmnnnn
I like this guy writing
That's wayyyy before my time here on this list.
So where did he go?
In reply to Commie
You are a real rabble rouser. Ah tawt you wanted someting written by by Tim Hector but you sounding more like George Odlum
The Tim Hector archives are safe. Need some time to sort them properly. Publishing them or putting them online somewhere would require some communication with someone about ownership rights. I won't disrespect the man or his family and republish anything without permission.

These were the good old days when I had time to do some reporting. Read about Chetty and Bish Panday.
