Brother, I have said so here before today that I worked in my very early years in radio and television...been there done that. The skills have not left me tho.
Btw, I would say very complimentary things about my darling Chrissy.
Best of luck Chrissy...I may call.

In reply to Khaga
Thanks but I'm not on Facebook
In reply to openning
Thanks - confirming .
Cat piss and pepper.
I figure some of you would have received the comments of the players...
I honestly cannot side with Andy Roberts rush of blood judgement given what and how these players were spoken/not spoken to over the past 12-18 months.
the demise continues
high time for another itito special
In reply to Courtesy
Thanks

In reply to Chrissy
This is interesting. I know it was reported but the CWI would have to respond to this.
In reply to Courtesy
i thought you knew this??
In reply to powen001
why you dissing me, Shorty?
didnt they tell you that we are on the same side now?
In reply to powen001

In reply to powen001
smart guy Dr Forde
In reply to sudden
In reply to powen001

Were the contracts for PSL signed before the players applied for the NOCs?
In reply to Courtesy
Sir, Yes Sir
In reply to Courtesy
i might have to hire you as second chair
In reply to sudden
In reply to sudden
I am only asking questions.
In reply to powen001
so why unnuh want my help?
soffy poffy question...
HIT FOR SIX RUNS!!!!
ha ha ha ha
THe Prez should speak less!
Great question Andrew.
And that's the problem right there with West Indies cricket...ballsless regional reps.
In reply to sudden
In reply to Courtesy
In reply to powen001
if unnuh so confident why unnuh want my help?
In reply to sudden
nobody asked for your help..but you definitely here begging..
but since you into building straw men and straw houses go help Kelly and Mara
In reply to powen001
this is at a higher level than you mate
In reply to sudden
looking for the part where I care...
you are a distraction..just like the feckless crap Froon spewing...funny how South coast mirroring the sewage
In reply to powen001
like greenland
In reply to sudden
and the Dodds and Mia is a woman...and the debt..and they never changed the public service ....
ahm..Tom Adams was a tyrant... and Owen liked Rum..wait..wunnuh actually saying only he can save Bim now...so ignore that one...
ahm...what else...oh didnt change the transport board or patch these pot holes back in 2008...and we built Kensington..
man.. kyar yuh big guts with that piffle
In reply to powen001
get taller and i will get a six pack
In reply to sudden
i dont need to get taller...I married a six footer and God set me up nicely.
you however have no excuse for being a greedy unfit bastard now do you ?
Bring on Christine man Mason man...enough of these boring pedantic politically correct crap
In reply to powen001
so you are compensating for lack of height by marrying somebody opposite. i bet she is intelligent too
Come on Twissy ...where is the fire?
hahahahhaa she didn't know she was on live
Chrissy sounds subdued. hype it up Chrissy
In reply to Narper
patience son..
listen to the bullet points
four runs
another 44444....
another 44444...
Chrissy of the mark with 3 fours....in a row...
second over and boundaries scored off of every ball in the first over...
takes a single and resumes at the crease.
Cat Piss and Pepper now-
Andy to bowl at the Proff
Andy bowling spin....lololololol
Chrissy skips down the pitch and back past Andy Roberts long hop!!
4444 4 more!!!
Andy now has to rethink his approach
SIX RUNS CHRISTINE!!!
It is their CAREER!!!!!!
Mason pads one back to Andy...
Andy oh shoot!!!
No ball....Andy called off the field ( phone disconnected)
Andy get cut
Lawd have mercy...
Chrissy hitting sixes !!!
BEYOND the boundary and points to the weakness of the region!!!
They have destroyed the Product!!
Dats not de point Chrissy. NOCs are granted on the basis that if the player is selected for National duty the contract becomes void if the player accepts the call. That is the ruling off the ICC
PRof...Your posit this evening will resonate across the airwaves on several radios tomorrow.
I sey so now...
both Sir Andy and Chrissy are correct
Andy...you are making Chrissy's point.
In reply to sudden
They are actually making the same point but in this case...there is a sequence..the BOARD has to lead and provide the environment for players to recognize their value..
players dont feel valued..ergo...CRISIS
dat easy
In reply to powen001
Maan....all Andy wants is WI to start winning again ....he cuss away Cameron and the players..
Andy wants these boys to do like the all the others....tail between legs...and turn the other cheek...
well... welcome to Millenials and learn how to manage your ppl!!
But times have changed ANDY...
In reply to Narper
We all do...
but CWI has to learn how to TREAT PPL right first!!
Conde on...this HOTTER now..
COnde better come good or siddown
Chrissy batting well...lol..
passes 65 runs in only her 5th over...whats that run rate??
Conde talks some shoite doh
Conde..with a sappy delivery...
the Board is the whipping horse..
and now proffers that BIMSHIRE flag ...
Our players dont get involved in that...
what piffle Conde man??
In reply to sudden
but he is right. he is doing the right thing with counseling the Bim players
In reply to sudden
commitment on both sides.
If Conde is here...saying what is "good" about Bajan players
WHY hasnt he influenced the others to follow his example??
please Conde...HOLISTIC approach not just BIM stuff..comes across as arrogance and insular
What is your point CONDE??
about being paid....steupse!!!
So tell yuh other board members that kissing Cameron butt with that man
In reply to powen001
up to them to copy it. Conde sounds quite reasonable here. everyone seems reasonable. so it seems to be a matter of trust and honesty
now Conde is being rude...sigh.
In reply to sudden
Chrissy has him by the balls.
those are the facts..Conde cannot escape that fact..
he was saying no stars necessary...
WHY is CONDE pushing this ONE TERRITORY shi%%???
In reply to powen001
no she doesnt. they are saying the same thing. Conde is speaking about Bim becos he knows about Bim but he needs to stop. it sounds insular and lording over other islands
In reply to sudden
That is my point Sudden...
It is arrogant and aloof...and he is going across the entire diaspora with that...
I dont feel good about his angle ...and I am a Bajan.
In reply to powen001
Lash dem, Chrissy! Lash dem.
Go for the balls.
I mean jugular.
She is good, man!
In reply to goofballs
Crissy mek dem man got to tek a break.
In reply to powen001
it takes away from his larger point about commitment which is only right
Andy traps Conde in front of the Stump
lol...
wait Mason...why you aint letting Conde answer Andys question??
In reply to positiveg
Dat Coney fella is something else.
If Barbados p[layers obedient, life is ok with him.
In reply to sudden
nobody will argue with that...
i just cant fathom why he thinks that Bajans only talk will be helpful..A
Mason bowls a bouncer about mass firings by Cameron...
lol
Conde says..He didnt get that MEMO ...
pleads deniability
six more runs by the Proff!!
ha ha ha ha ha
He skirted for a while and then he answered the question
chrissy has to cool out now. she is being snarky. the CWI seems to trying to work out an amnesty with the players but there is a lot of distrust
In reply to sudden
In reply to goofballs
Rude, arrogant and insular
hear Andy redeeming himself !!
In reply to powen001
didnt say she can influence it mate. there were two different statements.
Dr Forde is quite right. CWI and the players have to take some time out and come back again
Chrissy needs to write a book.
it will sell like Fire n Fury
remarkable how everyone seems to be making the same points but we are still arguing. we need to stop and reset
In reply to sudden
In reply to sudden
Every body getting fired except CAMERON
Irony
well said Sir Andy. players must take ownership of their game and stop blaming others
Andy is actually stating the CRUX
Qualifying means life blood...and now the CWI wants to call the "STARS" back.
very interesting segment. they have all identified the problems, they advocate reconciliation but no one seems to know how to get there
In reply to sudden
ergo..CRISIS>.
and yes..
I have had to tell several Bajan reporters how to pronounce several players names
that is an indictment...
Conde has been there since 1996
well said Chrissy
He came across as Insular
I didn't drop out - the call was disconnected
In reply to Chrissy
You batted well.
played not out *
In reply to powen001
Good programme.
In reply to powen001
Board needs disbanding and starting over like the last review recommended and i support. Devious Dave sholud have gone long time ago but the players bear some blame too. they must take responsibility for their game. stop blaming other for their deficiencies. work on them instead
In reply to powen001
Mason must invite Cameron to bat on his programme
In reply to Chrissy
Mark my words...clips of your contribution will make several radio programs...
I am certain.
In reply to Narper
ha ha ha ha ...
you know something and fishing like Sudden... lolololol
With this antagonistic approach to problem solving we aint going anywhere in a hurry.
In reply to powen001
I should send Andrew a bill, for promoting the show.
Chrissy was a Star.
Conde as a director, should have known his audience, he came off like he is only the director of the BCA.
In reply to sudden
How that gine happen Sudden?
men dont give up power...
Lucky report condemn them...just like Froon and his band s failures... you think he gine call elections for a new mandate before the LEGAL date arrives?
that man will preside over our dollar being devalued...watch the ride
In reply to openning
lolool
He asked me to..
and I honestly was so numb about the crap going on...
you got here first thats all.
so again..thank you
In reply to openning
It was stunning.I was going to ask him how many of them average 40?
In reply to Chrissy
Missed it today. Hopefully someone will upload and share a link. I usually enjoy your Radio show comments.
In reply to Khaga
VOB will upload it in a few hours..
starcomnetwork.net
Mason n Guests is the tab
In reply to powen001
Thanks..
In reply to Chrissy
Thanks to Facebook, it say the promo, thats why I was able bring it to the MB, especially with the Prof as one of the guest
Tell Conde to leave that insular nonsense, at home, thats the Trump way.
As a director of the CWI, he represents the region
In reply to openning
he went a bit too far with it even though he was making good points re if you communicate with the players and they feel you care about them there wont be much animosity but lawd he sounded real insular with it.
and the Bim players arent really that good anyway. if they were WI would be around number 6 and climbing.
In reply to Khaga
remember when I used to do that stuff manually??
murder...
and for free too...
In reply to powen001
it was the only thing you were good for anyway
In reply to powen001
Yep. Your contribution is invaluable.
In reply to openning
No - he also represents Barbados but he overdid it.
In reply to powen001
I remember.
As a West Indian cricket fan I must say I was terribly disappointed with the direction which the programme took.
The occassion was an opportunity to have an honest and civil discourse about the current predicament that West Indies cricket finds itself in...which in turn could have led the way for changes in attitudes from both waring sides and ultimately lead improvements to the game... the show failed miserably in that regard.
The moderator chose instead to pit guests against each other and it sounded more like a brawl in a fish market with each side maintaining its position and in some cases inflaming an already delicate situation. The show achieved nothing meaningful...nothing of substance...just a reopening of old wounds.
I was totally disappointed...there could be no hope if the various parties to a situation remain intransigent. That's how I saw it from my vantage point.
Disappointment, for me really, is an understatement.
Never me again!!
you can look at it that way. but the situation with this impasse did not lend itself to that type of program. by pitting divergent views and the purveyors of those views against each other it showed that they had more in common than against.
what was missing and what the show tried to address is where do we go from here. this was a necessary step before any reconciliation is to take place if it can take place. i doubt it can
the board in its present structure and with its personalities need to disband and restructure like was recommended in the last review
additionally the players must take ownership of their game, train and behave like the professionals that they are.
bottom line i thought it was a good program.
In reply to Courtesy
convince Mr Cameron to respect and understand that West Indies Cricket by any other name is still OURS.. the people and not his...so a first step by him towards speaking to the region would be a good olive branch start.
ah mean.. He in charge ent...
otherwise..all that you said..tongue firmly planted in cheek to boot wont catch any fish unless we get past that first step..
it will simply be the MB on airwaves...us griping ad nauseum as Cammy and frendz continue to chop and change everything ....
but dont let me distract you from fishing
In reply to Courtesy
i sorry...you caught Sudden
In reply to sudden
Brother in my view, we have traveled this adversarial road way too many times. We need to move on from there and this is why I stopped listening to the programme.
In reply to powen001
We have done the problem identification (first step)...we need to move on from there. It's like we are stuck in gear. Over twenty years of this mediocrity and harping about it is overbearing.
agreed that we must move on but i believe the only solution is destruction. disband and reset- that simple
In reply to sudden & Courtesy
ok..we getting closer to consensus -
HOW Sudden...
what does the destruction and rebuilding look like?
Who holds the reigns while we restructure?...
ICC ?
In reply to Courtesy
What more do you expect from a Mason programme?
In reply to FuzzyWuzzy
In reply to powen001
man, you forgot the last review and recommendations headed by Prof Barriteau i believe. it is all there man.
In reply to sudden
Man there is absolutely no hope with those jokers on CWI.
After the TNT Prez condemned Dave for more than one reason, he still had the audacity to say "we support him while he is president and will assess the situation at the end of the term."
"He spoke to me and said the article was a good article" without even seeing thru Dave's motive.
LHM.
In reply to Courtesy
Life real funny, right? For WI cricket to grow talent wise, de youths need to be assured that their investment is worth it! This problem is at de grassroots of our demise! You know of RCA?
In reply to Courtesy
In reply to WestDem
Mate, we have to end the blame game, engage in serious dialogue, remove the obstructionists and put rigid processes and systems in place if we are to move forward.
Constant harping about a problem(s) will solve nothing...unless we want to mire in ro-ro.
In reply to Courtesy
In reply to Courtesy
I disagree - two of the guests were Board Directors and showed us clearly (in different ways) why we are in this mess.
In reply to Chrissy
do you realise that all of you were saying the same thing in different ways, even Conde in his own inimitable style such as it is?
In reply to sudden
Partly true.
