Letter to the Editor: The bottom of the crab bucket in football
"There is no support from the community and with reason. Funds are diverted to personal pockets, players do not have sportsmanship, sporting committees are biased, unfair and selfish as equal as appointed Referees. There is NO solid and organized structure for football on the island. There is no one taking these reigns for the good of the football community rather than self-interest gnarling and trampling to gain their personal victory."
