histopry stealers v franchise fc in the FA Cup

[God is an Englishman]

should be interesting as to which side can talk the most bollocks.

How will all those bandwagon supporters cope when faced with they turned their backs on.

[pernunz]

I'm tipping MK Dons simply because they are in the high division.

couldn't give a shit about the result on the pitch as the history stealers sum up everything that is wrong with modern football fans and franchise fc sum up everything that is wrong with modern football clubs.

Did anyone catch the Wimbledon FC vs York City game on ESPN? I saw extra time and about 5 mins of regulation time.

The standard was absolutely crap. Fitness of players aside Super/Premier league in SA would be a higher standard.

Nice try but I won't bite on something so obvious and factually incorrect.

Did you watch the game?

I couldn't believe that was a professional standard game in England that was so poor in quality without being affected by the weather.

So, you're actually being serious?

Firstly, I cannot remember a game that must have occurred over 10 years ago

Secondly, you said it was a game that went to extra time, so I'm assuming it was a cup replay. Do you think it's possible that both teams were now tired from the up to 120 minutes of football and that they were content with not taking risks and going to penalties.

Thirdly, a player at that level would walk into any Super League side and also get into the adelaide united side. Now, is that the bite you were looking for? If it isn't true, why aren't we seeing super league players trying their luck in professional football in England more often.

The game was replayed on Tuesday night on ESPN.

So a player of the quality of Steve McMahon Jr would walk into Adelaide Utd??

Lloyd Owusu played in league 1 and was player of the month for the whole league a couple of times and he struggled to make the bench.

[Paleon Patros Germanos]

Cmon on Wombles.

[Bomber]

C'mon Hawkesy, some of these lower league players arent even close to A-League football. Some may get a gig in the local leagues but its no guarantee these days.

I have never seen steve mcmahon jnr play so cannot comment on an individual player, but wasn't he last playing in the conference as are York City.

When did osuso get these accolades?

Let's look at one of the best overseas players in the a league - Paul Iffil - considered not good enough for a side who got relegated from League One that season and was the 3rd best player in the A League.

So, you're judging on a game on espn from at least 10 years ago (probably more). I don't even know of these 2 teams ever meeting in a game that went to extra time. I think you're mistaken and have your facts wrong.

[God is an Englishman]

let's look at some examples then bomber

reid - not good enough at league one
iffil - not good enough at league one
muscat - released from a championship side
veart - worst player I've ever seen in a Millwall shirt


And examples of super league players going abroad.

Michael Brooks played in the Beazer Homes League in England
Dan Godley played Wycome Reserves

Both QUALITY players at that level and would get in any Super League side but couldn't get a pro gig in England.

Oh dear.

I thought the part in red was just as bad, how can you compare a game that must have been played at least 20 years ago to the super league anyway.

I'd probably put a beer bet down that these 2 sides haven't even met in the circumstances he describes. Therefore, I think he's either dumb, fishing or both.

Apologies oh pedantic one, the team was in fact AFC Wimbledon.

[God is an Englishman]

It's not pendantic, it's like saying you watched rooney playing for arsenal last night. Completely different teams.

Would I also have to include his first and middle names as well as birthdate so that you weren't confused in case there was the possibility of another rooney playing for Arsenal?

So York City are a pro side? Do they pay enough do earn decent a living?

[Derek]

League Two players would earn anywhere between 500 pound up to maybe 2 grand a week depending on the player. They would live just fine with all of the benefits they recieve.

People really under estimate the quality and competitivness of league football in England. Top county leagues are better than any state league here by a long shot.

[Derek]

Just read that the average league two player is on approx 800 pound a game without bonus's, not sure how accurate those figures are.

Don't blame me because you made a mistake!

They would pay but bearing in mind they nearly went bankrupt recently and lost their ground. I'd be surprised if it's much. They would be working as well. My uncle was in the conference and definitely had to work as well. He actually left a football league side as he could earn more working for a living than plating football full time.

Said similar before, my old sunday side would compete in the super league and we were all piss heads. I was by far the weak link in that side.

Take the best team this year in the super league, croydon, I would put them at combined counties standard maybe pushing higher but not much.

Which part? You should have seen my old sunday side.

The other line

The other line

Combined Counties is quite a decent standard, it's semi pro. You've played over there and super league, where would you put the best super league side? Surely Beazer Homes/Rymans/Unibond... At most?
