Well, if the Liberians renaissance must achieve it goals in post war liberia, every Liberian must follow what it says,even at the football level.Our players need to change their minds and their attitudes as well.Football has its own culture the world over with Liberia not an exception.Our players need to be discipline to the culture of football.I personally miss Grandpa Doe on the team.But I think discipline must prevail at the team level.This has been one of our problems in Liberia and even on the field of play.Most of our players are not discipline and they want to succeed through football.Finally,with the presence of a foriegn coach on the national team,I strongly believe that there will be rules and conducts governing the ethics of football in Liberia.Bravo Mr.Hey for that prompt action against indiscipline players like Grandpa Doe.

I take my hats off to coach Hey for trying to bring discipline to the Liberian Lone Star Soccer squad. Regarding the two expelled players, the timing of their expulsion is a serious miscalculation. They could have being warned or suspended for the 1st offense, then expelled for any inexcusable 2nd offense, but this seems to be a zero tolerance or one strike and you are out rule.

Sooner or later such ruling could backfire on coach Hey if the team begin to loose or draw possible winnable matches in the absence of these players. Who are the players that the coach have to replace these strikers when lonestar with a home advantage could not even beat Gambia?

In this worldcup qualifying match, time is every thing. May the coach reconsider his decision.

A coach for the senior national team has to use skills to set an example for other players. The point has been made. What is needed in this case is for the LFA to review the appeals and use their positions to establish regulations that addresses these issues. This is an opportunity to set new standards for our national teams, not only soccer, but in other sports as well. The review committee should rule in favor or the players because of the following reasons:

1. There were not established law that allows a coach of the national team to suspend two key players from the team without first verfying their reasons for being late. These are players that left their teams to travel and work for their countries on the patch.

2. A senior national coach sould be skilled in the area of how to achieve a balance between desciplane and the objective of his position as head coach. The coach focus should not be on so rigid discipline for reasons that are beyond his comprehension. Rather, he sould be focused on winning the critical match ahead. A skilled coach files a formal complaint to the review committee after the team returns from the game. No memtioned should have been made about such a simple issue that could have been resolved in a 30 minutes meeting between the LFA, the coach and the players, resulting in a written warning to the players and the establishment of regulations to promptly conclude such matters.

3. The moral of the national team is deminished when you, the national coach, remove two of the cylenders from the main engine and suspends the engineer who oils the ballers to keep rolling. It is not that there are not others who are just as qualiy as the part of the engine that is been removed. guaranteed parts are not as goooooooood as the factory manufactured; or is it? If you have to expel senior players from the national team for such a simple matter, than do it the right way. And just in case, let me just elaborate on the the right way. Before the national team travel for any internaitonal or national competation, the rules should be very clear in writing to all player and their agents or lawyers. Provisions should be made for appeals without a rush to judgment. Proper accommedations should be made for the players in reference to reliable transportation and communication. Players should be paid competatively comsurate to their skill level, just as other countries are doing. Not a huge sum of money to the coach and nothing to the players... but just travel and play for the love of your country. Compensate the players so that they are more focus to perform for their national team.

It's sad that there are Liberians who can not come to term with reality. The coach may all these players to sign a document commiting them to the Lone star, so the coach has the right to take the stand he took. I know that we as Liberians are not use to being discipline or punish for doing wrong, this why we are where we are as a nation. The coach should continue to discipline them because the players in question, are professional players who should know better and not do things to the national team what they will not do to the teams they play for. To those who say the coach is wrong, should ask themself how these player missed their flight if the team was on camp as we all know. Until we as Liberians can come to term with reality, we'll continue to go backward.

I just signed up.Thanks for taking my comments on issues concerning my country.First this is about the national team,I personally stand by the coach for his action on those two players.And we need to drop all the old players,and let the coach go out and find fresh young players and train them.There n need to be no more free soccer in Liberia.This sport is a job all by itself.This is from high school games to first division.Every team need to have a built field or then no team.
