Hines gets England call

[Me]

The great Johnny included him in the squad because he done is homework on the player that's one of the things that is letting us down,it doesn't seem like the JFF have anyone scouting and watching players i was aware that the player was playing well so why didn't the JFF? Devon Hodges done well in the DPL but the reserve league that Hines was playing in is of a much higher standard than the DPL.

You mean homework on his passport. Their is NO way you could justify a Hines call up above those other individuals at that time. And that reserve league is NOT a much higher standard than the DPL.

[Assasin]

You don't the the EPL reserve league is a much higher league than the DPL?

[Me]

I already said that.

[Assasin]

I have to make sure.

[Me]

Well now you are sure

[Assasin]

yeah. thank you, I haven't much more to say.

[Dunny]

It's obvious that you dont know a lot about professional football in the UK. The standard of the DPL i would say is about the equivalent of the Blue square premier which is the fifth tier of English football so you couldn't really compare it to the EPL reserve league.

[Me]

LOL. The standard of football in the DPL is similar to League 1 and League 2. football so gwaan fool yourslef. I have watched enough games in those crappy lower leagues and the crappy DPL. You notice what level our DPL players usually stop at? Lower level EPL /Championship team.

Apart from the top reserve teams, the rest are pure crap.

[Assasin]

I wonder how many DPL players coulda make an EPL reserve team?

[Me]

How many could make a reserve team for the bottom half of the table? Quite a few. Would a manager buy a player for that? No.

[Assasin]

About 5 % of players in the DPL could make a roster for a bottom place EPL side. about 15% of players in the DPL couldn't even make a Red Square team. another 10% of player in the DPL could make a championship side.

The teams buy talent. It is not like most of our players just walk into championship sides and become heros. After transfering it takes time and training to get up to that level.

[Me]

You can list every percent you want. MANY players in the DPL are at the level of the bottom half reserve teams. Would they be purchsed? No Because a manager has to feel that a player would be better than merely a reserve player.


Furthermor I have already said the level of the players is at League 1 and 2, so I don't know what you telling me about those other stats for.

[Assasin]

how many players are you talking about?
How much is "MANY" IN your view. At least 10-20% of players in the DPL couldn't make a League 2 roster so you can gwaan talk all you want. Don't even talk about the bottom few teams of the DPL which a pick up bronx side could beat.

[Me]

Almost every starter at Tivoli, Waterhouse, H View, Sporting Central, PMU plays at a league 2 standard or above.

Come again with those numbers.

[Assasin]

almost? And you are talking about league two. Tivoli, Waterhouse, HV and Central is not even half of the league. What a big difference there is between league two and the EPL? and would they all be starters?
