Quote: lefty goldblatt "The analogy with the cricket is a poor one.
The ones currently playing for England DO have English credentials, e.g. born in England or have an English parent.
The Rangi Chase issue is so wide of the mark, it's untrue. As far as I'm aware, he has no English parents, wasn't born here, so what's he done to warrant being English....enjoyed Roast Beef and Yorkshire pudding, washed down with a pint of real ale, in a traditional English pub on a Sunday afternoon....as far as I'm concerned, they're his qualifying credentials...unbelievable.
It's just as bad as the farce with Fa'asavlu (sp) a few years back.
Have we no scruples in our game anymore?
Last one out, turn the lights off.
Oh, andnow we have another player that limbos under the player quota for next season, so guess what, Cas go out and get ANOTHER foreigner, to the detriment of their youth set-up. Potentially another youngster lost to our game, just because Cas CAN get another player. No wonder fans of other sports laugh at our game....we give them enough bait'"
Haalf of the cas squad is made up of youngsters, the majority of cas fans are crying out for more experienced players to be in the squad. and we only have 3 quota players.
how does RL give bait for fans of other sports, how many foreigners play for english clubs in football?
