Barbados women’s soccer team are in action tonight against the Dominican Republic.
Go Bajan warriors.
I do not support NY teams as they would win a big game, you would again fall in love with them and then they would rip your heart out with loss after loss.
At this time, against my better judgement I am in full support of team Barbados. Hopefully, I can watch a full game.
Go warriors
1/1
Was very disappointed with the team. The game should have been postponed.
Firstly, there was a problem with the ball which had to be changed.
Secondly, when a player kick the ball you could see water flying into the air. Too much water was on the ground.
What really irritated me was the response of the Bajan players was quite different. It was as if changes were made to the team
At one stage I saw a DR player hustling towards the goal and a Barbadian defensive following her at a snail pace. This was not the same level of the
What came to mind was the Somalia runner who ran the slowest 100 meters ever at an international meet. The runner was a relative of a high-up official.
Speculation:
These are national teams representing Barbados. There is no place for an undeserving girlfriend or relative on a national team. It affects team chemistry.
Suki pips Jack for title
It was always coming down to something special.
The Scottish town of Stonehaven was treated to some high class draughts all week, and the final day of the 2023 Scottish Open produced the expected fireworks yesterday, where two Barbadians kept fans of the sport mesmerised with their play. When the dust settled, former world champion Ronald ‘Suki’ King was the one with the biggest smiles. A jawdropping cliffhanger is the only way to describe the final stages of the Open, as ‘Suki’ lived up to his name by pipping John ‘Jack’ Francis for the prestigious draughts title.
Yesterday, in Stonehaven on the country’s northeast coast, King trumped Francis on ‘honour’ points after the pair ended a week of play inseparable, tied on 34 points.
Kent Layne, the other Barbadian of the group, finished fifth on 21 points, missing out on fourth place to Scotland’s Joe Sloan who beat him via honour points.
At the start of yesterday’s play, Francis, on 20 points, led ‘Suki’, 18, by just two points as the two tussled for the top spot. Francis had been cock-a-hoop all week, securing bragging rights with a victory over his arch-rival King in the early stages, as he leapt to the top of the leaderboard.
However, King remained resolute and undeterred, pulling out all the stops to claim a full 16 points from four 2-0 victories to close out the tournament. One game win is worth two points.
Francis also recorded four victories, however, he drew one game in a 1-0 win, which meant he dropped two valuable title-winning points. Francis’ final-day results were 2-0, 2-0, 2-0, and 1-0 and kept him atop the standings, but without the trophy.
At times overly confident, a now dejected Francis spoke to Saturday Sport yesterday after the final reckoning.
“It really went right down to the wire. Both of us finished on 34 match points, but Suki got 166 honour points and I got 160 honour points. I still feel that because I beat him I should have been declared the overall winner on virtue of superiority between us, since I did beat him,” said the disappointed 62-year-old.
Francis did challenge the final decision, but that was overturned by the tournament’s stewards.
“This morning I beat Irish Grandmaster Frank Morgan 1-0, and then this evening I dispatched another Irishman Sean Donelly 2-0 to complete a very satisfying performance after losing just a solitary game – the very first to outgoing champion Shane McCosker who finished [third] on 30 points,” concluded Francis.
Francis was sponsored by the National Sports Council (NSC), while King had financial assistance from the NSC and Jordan’s Supermarkets. (RY)

Bajans could be proud of Suki King.
“World Championship titles
3-time world champion (3-move version): 1994, 1996, 1997
9-time world champion (GAYP version): 1991, 1992, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2003, 2006, 2006, 2008”
“It really went right down to the wire. Both of us finished on 34 match points, but Suki got 166 honour points and I got 160 honour points. I still feel that because I beat him I should have been declared the overall winner on virtue of superiority between us, since I did beat him,”
Nobody likes a bad loser.
I suspect the rules for scoring and awarding championship victory have been established for years. Instead of ‘The better won’, this Irish crooner start to sing sad songs.
I noticed her jeans had some holes in them. That money should give her a few good jeans 😂.
I like this young lady.
Great move by the authorities in Barbados.
Mia 👍🏿
You go girls.
@TheOGazerts,
holes in jeans is star girls fashion.
If you like cricket.
For the record. Barbados suffered a 5-0 defeat. I fell asleep in the middle of the game and was unable to update you during the game.
Next game is on Monday. A return match.
Do you mean to tell me that this is the best squad Barbados could find? A funny thing happened as I was watching the game. All of a sudden the Barbadian players seem to be bow-legged or have knock-knees.
Do you know how they like to shut the diaspora out, well the licks are so hot and frequent that the coach bawling to have overseas players.
Don’t go. The coach would probably play one or two overseas player and then blame them for the loss
Suck – 2= still Suck
I consider myself as a level-headed fellow in search of a cheap joke. I am passionate about soccer and track and field.
I can take a good knock without losing my cool, but like the average man I like a winner. I know we will lose a game or two, but I cannot accept that we will lose every game.
Every frigging game? It takes me days to regain my sanity after each soccer match.
If Mia came out and said “Barbados is withdrawing from all soccer competition” I would sing her praises everyday.
I am now convinced that the only way our men can break their losing streak is to stop playing. God, they are awful.
I am losing it. I am losing it. My head is starting to hurt. Tears are begging to flow.
Dear God, you promised me no more than I can bare and then you gave me this soccer team.
The US play their brand of football and call themselves World Champions.
We should have kept road tennis to ourselves and call the winners ‘World Champions’

+++++
How times have changed! As a little boy if you walked around with holes or patches in your pants you were looked down upon as for girls it was unheard of, now it is a million-dollar enterprise.
Which reminds me
LOL
“Every frigging game”….?
Wunna TOO FUNNY…. !!!
But there is a bottom line, it is called LEADERSHIP….
If you encourage and entertain jokers as leaders, because it meets some shiite quota of females, bullas, block men, children, popular brass bowls, or any such demographic, you can be GUARANTEED piss poor results….
Be it in sports, eddykashun, finance, housing, government, the church or just in a family.
Leadership for SUCCESS requires a level of WISDOM, and is best judged by PRIOR PERFORMANCE.
…so a fella who has led a successful social group is a VERY MUCH BETTER bet as a successful Board chairman than some shiitehound who just happened to have gone to HC…. or who is family to somebody.
A woman with a successful family and well adjusted children is a FAR BETTER candidate for higher service to the community, than some buddy imported from Canada.
Instead, we have opted for the EXACT opposite in leadership –
…and wunna expect to WIN? ….at anything?
steupsss…
Wunna aint see FAILURE yet……

A team of keen naval footballers was soundly defeated (1-0) by the Barbados Defence Force (BDF).
At last, we have found a team that we can beat. We should ask that the Dauntless be stationed in Barbados and play the naval team every weekend.
Go BDF. The only football team that found the goal in the past 60 games.
Don’t go correcting me. It feels like 60 scoreless games.
@ TheOGazerts,
Caribbean football team beat Canada. Barbados is a Caribbean country. lol
Bajan soccer team should be celebrating. Jamaica defeated Canada 3-2.
Hants,
Bolt is a Caribbean man.
His gold medals will not be counted in our tally of gold medals.
