are you sure about Rhodes he scored 3 goals for Scotland senior NT in 11 appearance ...plus in u20 he seems to be best.... BTW wat my point is that we have to make 2nd div feasible so that known foreigners should play from saff nation so that we can keep tab on them and how other nation is progressing plus i-league youngsters who could be loaned to 2nd div club ..for eg uttam rai he is not getting play time in dempo
Oh, I meant that Rhodes has never played in the Scottish leagues, not that he never played for Scotland. Sorry about that.
I can see where you are coming from and that is a major pro but on the other hand, you can probably do that without a true 2nd Division. First off, in the state leagues, you can have the I-League/ISL teams create "B" teams where they can play their reserve players in a competitive environment with proper rules. You can also do what they do in Australia and at the end of the season for every state league have the top teams or two from each state league play in a "national tournament" of sort to determine the state league national winners. (Award for getting to this stage can be entering the domestic cup at a more higher round).
and to start with that EB and MB should not make their foreigners play in CFL same goes for goa league ...we see clubs like dempo and others are sending their first team players in state league.... bfc is doing right in state league by giving chance to fringe players .....no idea about north east clubs...

The Indian national team captain then got his second o the match in the 56th minute, after Bineesh Balan was brought down inside the penalty box. Chhetri calmly converting the resultant penalty.

Churchill Brothers meanwhile are set to travel to Hong Kong, to face Kitchee FC in the AFC Cup on 26 February 2013, by the weekend.
Yep and that is perfectly okay. Reserve teams should be allowed to field seniors for injury reasons or what not. Like when Abou Diaby played for the Arsenal U21s last season.
