“If it wasn’t so serious, it would be laughable!” Downer explains where Rigues went wrong
What was wrong with Jameson Rigues’ special meeting for Trinidad and Tobago Super League (TTSL) clubs on Saturday? Where to begin?
Veteran football official and referees association vice-president Osmond Downer, one of the framers of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) Constitution, has regularly been consulted on constitutional matters over the past five years. But he has never seen anything quite like Rigues’ interpretation of his powers as TTSL interim president before.

This morning, UTT FC head coach Clayton Morris was elected TTSL president after garnering eight votes at a reconvened virtual annual general meeting. ‘Abstentions’ came in second with one, while Rigues was third with zero votes.
