Lately, I have witnessed a lot of members using words that really could be prevented. This would soon be a Kids site if this goes on. They need to grow up as the comments are read by thousands.
Colacos comments make no sense in a way. Sure, we could be playing younger Indians to help the national team but these experienced ones are playing because they deserve it, they train hard and get looked at and considered good enough and if they do well they will inspire the next generation of players.
Guys like Jayesh Rane for example need to work, can't just play him for the sake of playing him. I would rather some 12 year old in Kolkata be inspired by the work of older Balwant Singh than play a guy who is 21 and not good enough for ISL yet.
true. get quality on the pitch. am sorry to say but we have reached such lows that we cant run charities of giving younger players play time just for the heck of it. this has to be treated like a business model. if ur good enough in training then u play. thats the reason why i wanted the foriegn quota increased so it offers tougher competition for our indian players to come up the curve.
thats where the academies come in. get ur youngsters to play the U-18 or U-20 leagues and make em step up the bigger stage after they pass thru. loan them to local leagues and 2nd div where u can cut down the foriegn players and allow indian players to learn.
