Daly Bread: Jab Zeneca tun’ ol’ mas; how the gov’t botched its ‘vaccine roll-out’
It is now clear that the government was vainglorious in suggesting it had a definite, phased Covid-19 vaccination programme. It used the gift of vaccines, which it so ungraciously accepted from Barbados, to mamaguy us. The extent of the mamaguy was underlined when a television station ran again last week …

A winning team. You could safely describe Clive Lloyd’s late Seventies and early Eighties West Indies team thus. Perhaps the tag is also applicable to Vivian Richards’ 1980/90s team which indisputably had what their skipper called ‘the winning habit’. A team that won. That tag befits Kraigg Brathwaite’s second-string side …

Guyana head coach has blamed early errors for the Golden Jaguars’ 3-0 World Cup qualifying loss to Trinidad and Tobago, rather than anything opposing coach Terry Fenwick cooked up. The Soca Warriors grabbed all three goals in the first half and could have had a fourth, as flanker Joevin Jones missed …

Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) interim general secretary Amiel Mohammed announced Fifa’s fourth appointment on its normalisation committee today: Massy Finance and Republic Bank director Trevor Nicholas Gomez.
