As sharp-witted as ever, former World Cup 2006 goalkeeper Shaka Hislop suggested, via Twitter, that he had hangovers which lasted longer than recently departed Trinidad and Tobago football coach Tom Saintfiet.
The obscure Belgian lasted 35 days before he told TTFA president David John-Williams to mark himself down for an afternoon of self-molestation and dropped the mic.
That will teach us for hiring a couch surfer with a football badge!
A 35-day hangover? Well, we are into Carnival season… So anything is possible.
Hyperbole, of course, is the backbone of satire.
So what else might have lasted longer than Saintfiet?

my diarrhea lasted longer than saintfiet career
Smart move. I don’t think that any foreign or the best coach in the world could work with the TTFA and the Trinidad team. They are a bunch of jokers.
Our love of mediocrity has once again tagged itself to T&T.
HE EH LAS AS LONG AS D REDHOUSE FIRE!
Mark Bassant’s TV6 feature on Pan Trinbago?
Rowley’s speech on TV last night?
Franklin Khan’s stint as a healthy politician?

I give up…
i hope they didnt pay the coach for abandoning ship
david john williams an his slate should resign we build on a young team lets face it we not qualifying for any w cup any time soon get rid of the current slate of yellow bellied players who cant seem to function when it matters
Lasana Liburd who do you think is now best suited for this job? I am hearing rumours that fevrier is the preferred choice but I think Fenwick is best suited because he have four pro league titles and the experience as a former English player and also he managed English clubs although it was not that successful. If indeed Fevrier is the preferred choice then indeed Mr.DJW is a dictator and this is not good for T &T’ s football.
I’m still trying to find out the shortlist. From the names mentioned so far, Fenwick seems to be the only one who hasn’t had a shot yet. And he is a competent coach who has worked with all the players before.
Ok thanks. We don’t have much time to get it together and it would take a miracle for us to qualify for the next world cup but I believe DJW needs to eat a humble pie and let the next manager do his thing.
The sports minister on a threadmill?? I’m sorry I saw a pic of him recently. I don’t mean to pong the man but is a new year. I mihself trying to lose a few pounds?
Hahaha. The good ole Christmas pounds!

Technically speaking, the mourning period for Stephen Hart’s departure – aka forty days – lasted longer than Saintfiet!

FIFA ranks Trinidad and Tobago Senior Men’s football team as the “Worst Mover” in the world.
The football governing association, has red marked T&T to signify the team’s downward movement as it fell five places to 83rd.
In the CONCACAF rankings, T&T now occupies the 11th position behind Costa Rica, Mexico, USA, Panama, Haiti, Honduras, Curacao, Jamaica, Guatemala and St Kitts and Nevis.
Meanwhile, Suriname who defeated T&T, 2-1 in the CFU Gold Cup playoffs earlier this month was listed as the “Best Mover” having moved up 22 places.
Argentina is still ranked as #1.
Well isn’t this horrible ?
