 Yeah, we're staying with football and still with Jamaica football this time the Jamaica Premier League the 2023 24 Renneview JPL season got off to a competitive start on Sunday There were three tightly contested games while Jerome waits typically produced the most impressive scoreline They winning over a waterhouse Let's have a roundup of those results that we saw on Sunday Lime Hall the newcomers Nilo with Montego Bay United the former champions Mount Pleasant the reigning champions won the lower seven time champions Portmore United typically three nil over waterhouse Humberland one nil over Treasure Beach also first timers in the Premier League Treasure Beach coming up this evening live on Sportsmax to Maline's United against Vera United and our net gardens against John beholden and Anything stood out for you Mariah and Ricardo on Opening day one. Yeah for me with the Tivoli waterhouse match on that three nil win I'm happy to see Jerome with back in the JPL He's not a stranger because I was doing my research of course and recognized that he spent 20 years in the JPL coaching for Annette Gardens with them. He won four JPL titles Premier League titles So top stuff for him and I'm looking forward now to see what he does with Tivoli Gardens because they always say If you have a top-class coach, you have a man at the helm like Pep Guardiola who knows how to win titles Then we're in for a treat. I also paid close attention to the newly promoted teams for me Not the best start, but it wasn't rocky. It wasn't a rotten performance. So for me, that's also good First match first match week. So, you know, we'll keep looking on. Yeah I'm glad you brought up Jerome wait and by the way Mariah Jerome wait Who has coached Arnett Gardens as you pointed out to so much success and going across the Tivoli Gardens Lance correct me if I'm wrong here, but that is almost like moving from Manchester City to Manchester United Kind of because as I referenced a couple of weeks ago when the launch was done The history Politically between Tivoli Gardens and Arnett Gardens is one of animosity and acrimony Being divided in political parties Arnett Gardens peoples National Party Tivoli Gardens Jamaica Labour Party So, you know 30 40 years ago, this would never happen You would never have an Arnett Gardens man moving across the coach Tivoli Gardens Does this mean that the rift has gotten better? The country has matured And football has done a good job in diluting some of this sort of Acrimony and I get the impression that Jerome wait as good a coach as he is is Respected by the Tivoli hierarchy enough to give him the job. Yeah, very much the case and a brilliant start for them yesterday Lance and Mariah one of the things Incidentally though I found interesting is that Jerome wait was not on the sidelines for that match He was sitting in the stands and when he was questioned about it. He said that he Has been trying to impress upon the Tivoli Gardens fraternity the need for a statistician and because he didn't have one he decided he would sit in the stands and do the Statistical work and then went with the team at halftime and I had a conversation with them and passed on what he had seen To the coach who was on the touch line. So I found that rather interesting No, but he's onto something because if he has a coach Ricardo believes that the stats are so key in getting the results And he's not getting what he wants. He's gonna do what he has to do and clearly it worked Yeah, listen, don't worry Jerome if you have enough money, I could come on as a statistician for you Don't don't worry His issue would be getting away from his tennis matches that he has on weekend Jerome weighed out so that would be a problem, but typically they haven't won a Premier League title in over 10 years Yeah, and I think they have a good Young team looking at how they perform last year their matches were a little inconsistent But they have some young players in their late teens early 20s Blending with older players and I think they have some quality in their roster and we'll just look to see how well Jerome weight can bring that out for them and one thing you'll get with Jerome waiters coach is that This Tivoli Gardens team will be fit and they will get fitter as the season goes on because that is just the way that Jerome Coaches and I think you'll see some attractive football out of them as well like we saw an opening day yesterday I took a close look as well Lansund Mariah at the Lyme Hall Versus Montego Bay United and I know it's early season and I have to be very careful of how I say these things And I am in no way writing these two teams off But when I watched them, I felt as if I was watching teams who are gonna be in the lower half of the table For this campaign I just wasn't impressed with a lot of what I saw but it's on at the opening game So you never know what Started and did you think they'll be in the lower end of the table at the end of the season? Yes, so Can I point out quickly of them a message just came in from humble and coach price Who was pointing out that there was movement between Glenmore Admiral Bailey from Arnett to Tivoli or Tivoli to Arnett Whatever way, but I remember Glenda at Tivoli Gardens. I actually don't remember him at Arnett, but I'm not as Experienced as yourself Two things I would want to say that had happened in the period where we think that the Acrimony between the two Communities would not be as intense as it as it would have been from the 70s And I wouldn't think that Admiral Bailey was as ingrained in either community as Gerald weight was with Arnett Gardens because he was there from Charlie Smith Straight through to Arnett Gardens and that was from in the 80s Oh, by the way, quickly Do you realize that Montego Bay United with a Brazilian coach had four Brazilian players in their lineup for that match against? Limehall Yesterday, I didn't I didn't I didn't recognize it was four, but I knew if there was two at least including the goalkeeper Including the goalkeeper. Yeah, but I wonder if it is a microcosm of Brazilian football at the moment because The attacking flair and quality was was just absent But but brazil a rank number two in the world at the moment three They're not work up champions but tell that to Uruguay Oh, yeah, good one All right, Mon Pleasant they started their JPL campaign with one-nil win So good stuff for them as well I think they will continue where they left off last season. Yeah I'm a very strong roster as they usually have one of Mon Pleasant strengths is the quality and depth in their roster and You know, you have outstanding players coming off the bench for them Go in Austin who played for Portmore before Scoring for them yesterday. So he scored against his former club So, you know, I think Mon Pleasant made a decent start and let's see what happens because some of the players that were listed on their roster Pre-season, we didn't even see them on the bench yesterday including the two Trinity teenagers who are who I'm anxious to see so a long season ahead of us By the way tomorrow guys, we need to give our top four teams for the JPL We do this for the EPL and we do it for the Liga tomorrow We need to give our top four teams for the JPL. No, I need a few days. You always give Lance extra time Can I get some extra time? No Yes, I'm taking it break time now, so I'm starting now
