The level above Grassroots is Coalface isn't it?
He has it listed there. Its that little blue square that says ACFC... Didn't you know they are the embassadors for promoting storied youngsters like Andrew Milne who came back to NZ from Rangers, a fairly decent club? Not these Spanish types that might have stood in the same carpark as Messi once. They would never believe that hype and play them over quality NZ youngsters...
You've really got a thing about Andrew Milne aint you?
Why is he not at Rangers anymore?
Probably because he wasnt good enough
so why should people be building him up if he aint good enough?
So guys like Mario Hoffman who went to Germany are great players to are they because they went overseas?
He's at Lynn-Avon Utd now
and if Milne is such a prospect why isnt playing for the
Phoenix?
The point about Andrew Milne is that you criticised the Phoenix for not giving young Kiwis a run ahead of imports.
It was then pointed out that ACFC had put a Kiwi kid like Milne on the bench in favour of starting an import yourselves.
Which of course is what we generally refer to as hypocrisy out here in the real world.
This
You guys raved about how the imports you have are quality cause they played at Barcelona beside Messi. In actuality its probably more like that might have stood on the same bus on the way to training one time in a town called Barelona but that appears to be your guys defining criteria for being 'quality'. (yes I know they were actually at the club but I can stretch it like you guys do)
Since Andrew Milne was at Rangers which is a named European club (definitely not as strong as they were point taken Buffy), why is he not 'quality'? I just used your own argument against you, that and you guys ALWAYS are about good honest coal....... If Milne is crap cause he was not good enough for Rangers, then what does that make your imports that were not good enough for Barcelona? Why would we build them up to be 'quality' when they are clearly not.
Another point is that Milne frequently featured in the team last year when he joined midseason I think. Why is he not this year? Because you got in imports that do a better job. Please say it isn't so Jordy, an import taking a Kiwis spot at ACFC..
The reality is, if they were quality, they would be somewhere else. They might be too good for our league, but our league isn't that flash, again talk to Ben SigmUnd and look at the David Mulligan example. I can watch youtube highlights to generally verify that our league isn't too flash (and they are the highlights before you say its not a true indicator) but it is football and I do support it, even Otago, Waikato and Manawatu
