Lol [headed off to this]ed thread to turn a point into a straw man. 

You’ve got a hardon for Dome. I get it. We all get it. We’ve heard it a lot. 

My point on OFC was two fold- are we supposed to be this business or not? That was the complaint right? We’re not hard nosed like AFC. 

Roy Krishna took a long time not starting and getting coaching from Merrick to make the step up. Even after dominating everything he could at the highest level the OFC could offer at that point. And that was a good decision that benefited everyone. 
Are we supposed to have been a charity for the OFC? What has the confederation been doing to prepare their players for professional football? Remembering that for most teams OFC players are competing with the Guilermo Mays of this world as imports requiring dispensations and often visas that require higher level international play. 

Fair enough if you want to criticise, but don’t be a plonker about it. 

We were supposed to be running a charity for OFC during the metrics era? Come on man.

Should we have signed Kaltak ahead of Steven Taylor or Wootton?
